FS#12222 - Rockbox does not detect headphones unplug

I hadn’t updated Rockbox for more than a year now and I used RockboxUtility to update it with current build r-30267(but the issue exists long ago). I did complete installation and it stopped detecting headphones unplug. I traced all releaces back to Rockbox 3.2 and the best I could get was Rockbox to detect headphone unplug once. Sometimes it would pause for a second and then resume. It also does not detect if headphones are unplugged at startup to avoid resumig playback.

Was a hardware issue

I tried older versions of Rockbox including the bootloader and it didn’t seem to solve the problem.
I did a complete uninstall, and then used ipodpatcher to instal the old bootloader from version 2, then installed Rockbox version 2 and even that didn’t help.
I still haven’t tried to restore the iPod.

Can somebody give me any clues? What might help or where in the code should I eventually look?

look for headphones_inserted(void) in trunk/firmware/target/arm/ipod/button-clickwheel.c

This sounds like a hardware issue. noone else has mentioned this and the same thing happened on my mini2g.
Go into Settings > Debug menu > View I/O ports, the top has A:<some value> plug in the headphone and wait a second or two, then unplug it. If that A: number doesnt change it means you have a harware issue and there is nothing we can do about it.

Thanks a lot!
I opened the debug screen and saw the value didn’t change… for a while… but then it flickered to something else. After some really slow and gentle unplugs the device managed to handle them but after that - nothing.
Taking in account that I opened the device up before updating it and that is sometimes really pause and sometimes it resumes immediately after pause - it’s definitely a hardware issue. Maybe there’s dust or something else.
I’ll check it out this night and will update you

It was definitely a hardware problem. I opened up the device and blew the dust and it works properly again.

Again, thanks for the clue, Jonathan and Andree!
