Rockbox freeze on iPod

(1/4) > >>

mwilker:
I got my rockbox/ipod working today. It keeps freezing up in the middle of playback????????? Then I have to menu and select to get it to reboot. Is this a bug. Do others have this problem. It has locked up a dozen times in the first day.

soap:
A-  Don't ask about your iPod crash in a iRiver thread.
B- Be a dear and tell us what model you are using, what build of Rockbox you are using, and any other details which might help.
C- Of course freezes in the middle of playback are a feature of Rockbox!   :P
D- I suspect you have a 4th generation iPod and could learn much about your problem reading the forums.

mwilker:
Yes 4th gen. newest build as of yesterday. Are you being sarcastic when you say freezing is a feature of rockbox. Hell, I just want someone to tell me the truth. I didn't need help getting it to rockbox, and won't need help getting it back to normal. I just want to know if this program works. I am a dj on live radio and cannot have this type of problem over the air, I have to have something that works almost everytime. This is a promising program, but does it work?
Sorry I didn't notice the last thread was not for ipods.

lachlan:
No he was not being serious about it being a feature of Rockbox. A flaw, maybe, but not a feature.

soap:
It is believed that most 4th generation ipod crashes are due to a problem with changing CPU frequency.  In general throttling the speed the processor runs at is good for battery life.  There is a patch in the tracker to disable CPU frequency scaling on the ipod 4th generation, and if you don't feel comfortable with the process of patching there is a maintained UNSUPPORTED build in the unsupported builds forum with the patch already compiled in.
