ipod4g instability fixed with 20070301 daily

<< < (2/2)

Shovas:
Well, I've been running the ipod serious for a long time now and I can't say I've seen a crash like there was before. So I think something got fixed.

The only problem now is that the ipod's UI is so slow when it's dynamically modulating the cpu freq that I've started jacking up the CPU anyway! lol

Maybe now that the problem is fixed, the developers might be given another reason to force the CPU to 75mhz on ipod4gs! :) Of course that won't happen because that would have a negative impact on battery life. Oh well. Such is life.

iirc the schedular has some magic in unboosting which could cause this..


but if you no longer need to boost then great and welcome back to the fun of updating every few days :D

I concur... after 24 hours using yesterday's build, everything works great with no crashes... You might want to add this to the "Major Changes" as this is ALL-important to us Ipod 4g users- This adds 90 minutes of playtime now that I no longer need the Mikeage No Frequency Scaling build

Llorean:
The problem isn't solved for everyone yet, it's just reduced overall.

Secondly, this isn't necessarily a Major Change, as it's just a bug fix if/when it does solve the problem. People regularly updating to help with testing should notice this rather quickly.

Yep, the latest current I tred was 2007-03-18 14:16:45, and while it can go for a while, after a bit it now just crashes. Trying another current...
