[feature request] LCD-Remote Reduce Ticking *DURING RECORDING* (was a quesiton)
Mmmm:

I hadn't noticed it before but it is always there! Although listening to a recording at max volume made with a gain of 40 (very high) I can just hear it so it is quite minor. The buffers fills about every 3 minutes and you get about 10 seconds of constant interference while it is writing to the hard drive. Not good :-\ (but better than the original firmare as the buffer in the original fills after 30 secs!!!!)
--- Quote ---Did you remove updating the recording screen, or all remote LCD updates? (When the HD accesses, the Remote LCD gets a flicker of the virtual HD LED, something that doesn't go to the main LCD).

I have removed updating of the recording screen and the status bar in the recording screen (when you hit the button) which is everything. While in the recording screen with remote off, you get identical interference to when the remote is unplugged but you can still use the remote buttons.
Mmmm:
I've updated it so you can use it on the h300 remotes (use the -10 button to turn off the display) Also a nice splash screen to remind you what's going on...
Is this a useful feature or a load of old rubbish? disableremote.zip
Llorean:
Next question: Are you recording from a Mic, or some other analog source (like simply running a line from something else's output to your iRiver)?
I'm just curious if this interference is going to affect everyone, or just certain cases?
Edit: And I think it's probably a useful feature, since minimizing interference on recordings is a good thing.

I'm recording from line without anything plugged in (to get zero input) so it should affect everyone. (but I bet noone will ever hear it!)

hmmm I suppose it's ok as a temporary measure but it is not really ideal.. better than nothing though I suppose.
Davide-NYC:
This ticking business is just an inherent hardware flaw. :(
Shutting off the remote LCD is a cludge.
Maybe a single line in the Rockbox iRiver manual mentioning the ticking could be the sad end of this.
-- Critical recording (line-in) should be done without an LCD remote plugged into the main unit as this can introduce 'artifacts' into the audio. --
I have decided that I can live with the ticking. It's rare that I absolutely have to use the remote and I never use that much gain anyway, so the ticking should be inaudible.
It'll bother me sure. I will imagine that I can hear the ticking (even when I can't) and I'll probably eventually lose my mind. But it won't kill me. :D
Promise to visit me in the asylum!
:P
