Increasing Battery Life

<< < (2/2)

jmsbwtr:
Back light has always been turned off as I have known this to be a battery killer, I also knew about the EQ needing to be turned off as both of these are tips on the apple website for their firmware so I guessed the same applies with Rockbox. I didn't realise MP3 saved battery power, luckily I already use MP3 at a reasonably low bit rate, 128kbps, i don't think going any lower is worth the power saving how ever. One other thing, I nearly always select an album to play and then leave it, would I benefit from having a long cache buffer set? As in the manual it says it only wastes battery if you change you choice of music listening frequently.

Thanks

To have the large buffer thing I think that you need a 60gb video iPod.

Sorry for not replying earlier, I sleep during most USians' day.

I don't have the theme any more.  It was literally a test to see if it could be done, and it couldn't to my satisfaction (there's no way to turn off the progress meter with the hold switch, and the progress meter is worth more than 15 minutes to me) so I scrapped the idea.
