Risks relating to iPod charging from wall socket.
Llorean:
Actually, it's just the default way Rockbox works because many of the older devices didn't charge over USB at all, so there was only one action for plug in: Connect.

First, nice. Does it have a menu setting? If you can toggle the way it works (and it passes bug testing of course) I see no reason that they would not want it in the base build.
Second...

Where'd you get one of those? I /love/ that idea.
Drkepilogue:
For the people that charge using wall adapter, does it even charge at all? Last night, i plug in my ipod to charge(did the hold menu thing) and when i woke up in the middle of the night, it was at 40. So i was like ok... sure. But when i woke up for school, it was at 37... Does this happen to anyone else?

1. philips T1211 DC/DC converter ( http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IaudioX5HardwareComponents#Philips_TEA1211_DC_DC_Converter )
2.philips PCF50605HN (PMU) power management unit ( http://www.chipworks.com/WebReports/ShowOverview.asp?ReportID=2368 )
i had put off charging after 2 hours and now have to open all of my ipod and operate it while opened only due to over heating of these two chips
since these are intergerated on the board and cannot be replaced
i am stuck up
not to mention that i cannot use rockbox any more due to over heating of these chips ,i can use apple firmware but that too does not give me back up any more
now DONT trust rockbox over charging issue till this date

you know what the thing he did wrong was, making a modification to your actual hardware, leading to problems not covered by apples's warranty

Yeah uhmmm.. this has been happening to me lately too. Nice to know I'm not crazy. There's been three or four times now where I plugged it in before I went to bed (almost dead) and when I woke up ~6 hours later, it was only at ~60%. Since that happened I've been so busy (and not wanting to worry about it) that instead of testing more, I just rebooted into Apple's fw before charging...... will have to see what happens tonight.
