Issues on Clip+

scorp7785:
Hope I can get some troubleshooting help with my player:

I'm running rockbox v 3.13 on a sansa clip+ and have a couple of issues.

1. The player frequently hangs - during an hour of use it'll freeze up about 3-4 times and I'll have to do a hard reset to get it going again.

2. The battery life is garbage - off of a full charge, I can use the player for about 4-5 hours before it dies out. This may or may not be related to rockbox, I haven't used the stock firmware at all yet.

I've uninstalled rockbox and reinstalled yet the issues remain. Any suggestions??

saratoga:
You're running a 2 year old build.  Update it and see if your problem still occurs.  I don't know if that will fix your crashing issue, but battery life will certainly be a lot better. 

gomezz:
I run my Clip+ on that firmware for up to seven hours a day (about half of that on pause) after which it shows half battery which is in line with spec.  I suspect you may have a duff device.

Updated to 42219b6-150119. At least it's not crashing anymore, but battery life is still only about 5-7 hours. It seems like the battery is draining even when powered off.  May be that the battery itself is faulty.
