Thank you so much for all your answers! Sorry I haven't checked the posts before.
I'm a newcomer here, and still need some time to figure out how this forum works!

At last, I would like to know if anyone feel uncomfortable with the volume control with AGPTEK ROCKER just like me, it is very slow, I mean, when holding the button, it should also gradually accelerate how quickly it changes.

Can I hope this will update in the future firmware?

Which version of rockbox are you using? I fixed tiny volume steps some time ago. If you submit a patch implementing volume change acceleration I can review it but personally I do not plan such functionality.

I'm psyched to hear about progress on BT - I always use BT speakers and headsets ☺

I’ve run into some trouble with m4a-files (podcasts):
m4as with jpeg included like this one (16 MB) just get skipped by rockbox. (They work flawlessly with vlc on my PC.) If I remove the jpeg/"video" by
Code: [Select]
ffmpeg -i input.m4a -vn -codec:a copy output.m4aoutput.m4a plays fine on the Benjie T6.

Is this a problem with rockbox in general or just with this port/device?

AAC is a hard format to decode on portable devices due to it requiring a lot of RAM.  Usually when AAC files can't be parsed its because the MP4 container requires more RAM then is available to parse it.  Usually just repacking it into a "mobile optimized" or "iTunes format" MP4 file will solve that problem.

Hello people, decided to try the T6 because like a lot of people my Sansa died. I've been following the thread and tried almost everything in matters of trying to update the T6 but nothing worked. Neither the original or the rockbox one. Tried with files from the very forum itself and from other sources. On exFAT and FAT32. 2 SDs that works like a charm on other places (one of them comes from the Sansa).
Do I have some way of checking if it is the T6 or I messed it up on some step? Thank you guys.

I am also having the issue where the screen doesn't turn off all the way, only the backlight. So the battery life is terrible.  I am using an AGPTEK rocker not a benjie.

So what is the runtime with your device exactly? Have you run the battery_benchmark plugin?

Anectdotally, my T6 with rockbox has less than half the battery life as the (very well-used) Sansa Clip+ it replaced.  It doesn't survive an 8-hour drive playing low-bitrate audio books (mp3), whereas the latter would easily last for the return trip as well.

I forgot to run the battery bench for the first hour of playback but in the bench I got 6 hours and 34 minutes of mixed flac, opus and mp3 v0 playback. So I got around 7 hours and 34 minutes of playtime.

Unfortunately there is little I can do about battery life. Kernel on agptek doesn't perform freq and voltage scaling. I try to powerdown lcd which reportedly doesn't work for some (although lcd itself eats only tiny amount of power compared to backlight). Without kernel sources I see next to no room for improvement.

Some advice or tip about the ones who can't update the firmware? Just trying to know if it the file which it is not working or the device.

Ok, so I was able to patch update.upt. But I'm still not able to flash it, since I could not find any firmware that would flash on my unit. I get the same "Insert TF pls", "Updater V 1.1" and "v_v Failed" every time. Tried 2 different cards formatted by the player.

I just received my T6 (1.08beta) yesterday, and am having identical problems.
Tried different cards, formatted through device and computer.
Player works - it just can't seem to update.  >:(

Is there anyone here who has recently purchased a T6 that shipped with 1.08beta who has been able to update their firmware (either to 1.2, or to Rockbox?)

It sounds like this issue is with recent T6's purchased from Aliexpress

I also messaged the seller about this problem, and their response was that 1.08b was the latest firmware, and thus it was not necessary to upgrade.

Am I correct in my understanding that with previous builds, it was possible to install older firmware?

In any case - I responded that as far as I am concerned, it is a defective unit if the firmware can't be changed.
I have a limited window to open a dispute, and will start the process if we can't resolve this problem.

Does anyone know if there actually is arms length between Benjie and Agptek?
Is it possible that this limitation was deliberate?
Was it not such that Agptek was supportive of Rockbox development, while Benjie was not?

You may have better luck attempting to get a downloadable 1.08b firmware image from Benjie, as it stands to reason that folks with older T6 firmware would want to upgrade.  That 1.08b image could then, in theory, be altered to include the rockbox bootloader.

(Assuming there's no hardware differences that preclude this..)
