Risks relating to iPod charging from wall socket.

<< < (6/8) > >>

Atheistic Freedom:
I've charged it in Rockbox all night on some occasions when I was too lazy to revert back to the Apple OS; no problems.

Drkepilogue:
Does anyone's ipod freeze while charing via wall charger?

ZeRøB:
Why not make it like iPL? iPL solved it nicely, it ASKS you if you feel like going in Disk Mode. If you say 'No', or just don't replay, the iPod stays in it's state and just charges. I really though that Rockbox and iPL would have done a bit more communication effords to get rid of such minor issues like these...

Holding a button to charge instead of entering USB mode is how Rockbox handled this situation before the ipod port, so that's how it's handled on the ipods - the ipods aren't the first devices Rockbox works on which have USB charging. 

But the main issue (as mentioned several times in this thread) is the fact that there is currently a bug in Rockbox's USB detection which means that it doesn't distinguish between a USB connection to a computer and a USB connection to a wall charger.

the_winch:
Attached is a patch that will always charge when usb is inserted and never reboot. Bit usless/trivial to add to the patch tracker I think.
I use it because,
I charge once a day but hardly ever need to access the drive.
I occasionally charge using a bicycle hub dynamo and plugging it in while holding the button is no fun while riding.

I'm not sure why rockbox needs the button press to charge. IMO it makes more sense to do it the other way around as charging is a more common action. Perhaps it makes more sense on the other players that can be charged via usb.
