battery life comparison

<< < (2/3) > >>

Koziasty:
I have been reading some posts (might be old, though), where it was said, that the battery meter is not completely accurate, hence the strange readings.

Regards

thank you for link,  but this info dont dispalay real things ))

I listen to music in mp3 with bitrate 320 bps..
but my iPod Video 30Gb plays not longer than 2 hours!!!
i only listen to music, not watchin videos or smth..

i think its not compatible with original apple firmware - player is alive for 15 hours at least...
its very strange..

Q to developers:
can you do something with battery life lenght?
i dont understand why the rockbox firmware reduce battery life in 6 times!!

its the only disadvantage i've found yet.. the rest is perfect ))

waiting for comments...

1) We require you to use real words. Not abbreviations like "smth" or replacements like "4" for "for."

2) The numbers on the IpodRuntime data are real, and submitted by users like you. If you're getting 1/7 of your Retail Firmware livetime, I would hazard that you are not comparing under identical conditions. 1/2 is much more common.

ok, even if rockbox reduces battery lifetime twice, i wondered, would it be fixed in future?
i think you can not deny that it is abnormal...
thanks..

Llorean:
The goal is to have better battery life than the original firmware. On other players we have accomplished this. We don't deny that the battery life is poor on the iPods right now. The most likely cause is hardware that is active when it shouldn't be (such as when we did not properly sleep the USB on the go hardware for the H300) but because of the lack of documentation for the PortalPlayer chipset, it may be some time before these issues are resolved.
