Dramatically reduced battery life after installing Rockbox (h300)

(1/3) > >>

strandz:
Hi,
hope somebody can help. I just discovered Rockbox and is extremely excited about all the features. However, after installing the software on my iRiverH320 the battery life has more than halfed. The problem does not occur when in playback mode...the problem seems worst when the player is turned off. The battery is gradually (but fast) drained while the player is shut down. I hope somebody can help, as the reduced battery life may force me back to using the old iRiver firmware.

petur:
Weird. Rockbox should increase battery life.

Llorean:
I've heard ONE report ever of an increase in the rate at which battery drains while turned off. It wasn't a Rockbox'ed player though. It was someone with a US type player who'd simply installed the Korean firmware at all.

I noticed that my non-US h320 drew more power when I enabled the iriver firmware's clock... try disabling the clock in the iriver firmware.

fizze:
one cannot disable the clock. You could just flash on a version without RTC support.... but I doubt that would effect rockbox..... ?
