I'm experiencing mis-read button presses with v1.4 and the latest daily builds. If I press the down button fairly rapidly and repeatedly, as one would do when turning down the volume or moving through directories, every so often a FF (right) button press event occurs. This either enters a directory or sub-menu, or the most annoying case of forwarding to the next song when reducing the volume. I don't think this is a mechanical issue, as it dosen't matter what angle/portion of the button I press. I've even gone so far as to remove the R battery cover and apply upward pressure to the little tab that is visible on the right side of the 4-way button, but get the same results. If I am very careful to make slightly longer button presses, it dosen't seem to happen. The AJBR 20 is brand new and still under warranty, however since there is no problem with the Archos firmware, I don't think I have any recourse WRT warranty fufillment. (also most annoying to have to off and reload 8 Gig of data) What I am wondering is if the button polling frequency, duration, or whatever couldn't be "tweaked" to make Rockbox more tolerant of the hardware, as the Archos firmware appears to be. I mean I assume I am the only person to ever have this problem, as I haven't seen anything like it mentioned anywhere, but I try to make myself feel less selfish by thinking that this would make Rockbox more stable and tolerant of "almost on spec" hardware and thus better for everyone. What say you all? Chris Received on 2002-10-30 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
