From: Bradley Alexander <storm_at_tux.org>
Date: 15 Dec 2002 01:17:53 -0500 Hey all, I was running the daily build from 20021208, and I noticed an interesting phenomenon. I was playing some mp3s in a deep directory (4 levels down), and I noticed that as a track was playing (this was in the car), I would hear a click and the Archos would skip backward by about a minute (since I was driving, I couldn't tell exactly how far, but once it actually skipped into the previous track). I noticed it again today, with it happening twice preceeding a lockup of the type we have been discussing here (red drive light stays lit and the cache empties itself). Don't know if they are related, but I wanted to put that out there. I just moved to the 20021214 build, will report my findings. Another issue seems to be that the batteries seem to drain a lot faster. I don't know if it is actually draining them that fast or if it is perceived because of the additional activity of the battery meters. For instance, with 1.4, I it seemed to stay at 100% for a long time, then slowly drift downward. After a day of intermittent use (call it 4-6 hours), it would usually be somewhere between 60 and 70%. Now, with the same usage, it gets down to the 30 to 40% range. Again, I don't know if it is actually affecting battery life (I tend to doubt it), but it was, again, something I thought I would mention.
