Date: Sat, 9 Feb 2008 17:16:12 -0500 Hi. I've noticed that even when Rockbox is otherwise operating quite nicely, my iPod is not charging to a stated battery life of 100% or anywhere near it. Sometimes I use the Apple firmware, while at other times I'm using Rockbox. Whenever Rockbox is set to be iPod's default player, I set the Battery option so that a recharge is supposed to be happening whenever the iPod is plugged into its host PC's USB port. With iTunes, this recharge happens as a matter of course. But whenever I unplug my iPod and immediately check battery status, the most charge I ever note is 86% or perhaps 87%, regardless of how many hours the unit has been charging. Does this point to a dying battery? I noticed that a few months ago, shortly after purchasing the iPod, that it would show charge percentages in the upper 90s right after a recharge. It will be helpful to know this, since still I have a little time left on my warranty with Apple and could get a replacement battery at no charge if I have a real problem. If my problem is software-related or settings-related, I can fix this myself without the inconvenience of having to send the unit in. Thanks in advance for your help. -Kane Received on 2008-02-09 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
