Task Description
if i format the clip+'s microsd card to contain a DOS partition table, then the vfat formatted partition is not recognized.
if i format the sd card with a vfat fs starting at the first block, then the fs is recognized by rockbox.
** if i then reformat the sd card with a partition table like above, then the second fs i created is still recognized by rockbox, even though the first 512 bytes or so have been clobbered. the result is that rb and my laptop see different fs structures, and clobber each other's metadata, causing corrupt file systems.
the work-around is to dd if=/dev/zero the beginning of the sd card and format without partitions.
i kindly request that rb support dos, or some other, partition table, and maybe that rb doesn't mount fs'es which appear to be clobbered by a partition table. one problem with this change is that some people may be using a clobbered fs without knowing. with such a patch, they could end up seeing a corrupt fs instead.
i don't consider this very high priority. thanks for the awesome firmware!

11647 | Rockbox | Bugs | Music playback | Low | pressing play after loading a new song sometimes skips ... | 2010-09-29 | |
Task Description
If the wps has a paused track loaded, and then I load a new song and then press play to start it, sometimes the track will start at 0:02 or 0:03 instead of 0:00. It’s my guess that it starts approximately n seconds late, where n is the number of seconds since the song was loaded and the wps displayed. I haven’t gotten a gap over 3 seconds.
Also, I’ve noticed that when doing the above, sometimes the displayed time jumps from 0:03 to 0:02 to 0:03 again very quickly and then continues as normal.
I don’t think this is a problem on the 5G ipod.

11034 | Rockbox | Patches | Configuration | Low | 3G bootup and default contrast fix | 2010-02-18 | 1 |
Task Description
normally, the ipod boots up with a dark screen half-way through. it stays dark once the firmware is loaded unless a good contrast setting is chosen in config.cfg.
i noticed that there seemed to be two places that defined a default contrast setting. the first is:
firmware/export/config/ipod3g.h
the setting there was for 40. so i made a patch for the other file redefining the contrast from 55 to 40 for the 3G. i’ve tried setting my ipod to 40 contrast and the result looks good.
i haven’t been able to test this because i’m having difficulty setting up the build environment.

11026 | Rockbox | Bugs | Battery/Charging | Low | Need to update 3G battery powermgmt file(s) | 2010-02-16 | |
Task Description
I ran two battery benchmarks on my 3G iPod. they are the first for this model on the wiki. i also uploaded the benchmark files: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IpodRuntime
apparently the curve data needs to be entered into the powermgmt file(s).
currently with the incorrect settings, a full charge displays about 200h of estimated battery time and the unit loses power at about 25% without shutting-down.

Task Description
the setting called “Prevent Track Skipping” sounds like it is meant to prevent accidental gaps in playback.
perhaps a better name would be “Disable Track Skipping” or something else. it’s not much better, but it is a little more clear.
I had a problem with this when I activated this option without knowing its true purpose. When I encountered the unexpected behavior, it took me a while to realize that this setting might have been what caused the change.
The person who filed this “bug” was having the same problem:

Task Description
rockbox 3.5: ipod doesn’t recognize the connection of usb. i understand that rockbox doesn’t support usb on a 3G ipod, but it would be nice to boot into disk-mode like it does for firewire.

11011 | Rockbox | Bugs | Manual | Low | manual: incorrect reset/disk mode keys for older ipods | 2010-02-14 | |
Task Description
manual has incorrect reset/ disk mode key combos for the 3G iPod. The key combos for ipod minis, nanos and 1G - 3G are all the same, and probably all need to be updated as well.
the correct reset keys for these models are:
mode: prev/next

11006 | Rockbox | Bugs | LCD | Low | insanely dark default contrast (~95% black) on ipod 3G' ... | 2010-02-12 | |
Task Description
fresh rockbox 3.5 install (+ extras) on 3G ipod:
when turned on for the first time, the screen boots up and after the apple logo, the screen turns completely black. (the contrast is turned up completely.)
I can navigate the menus with the help of the back-light and by holding the ipod at an angle so i’m looking down from the top. using the manual, i figured-out the layout of the menus (as i couldn’t read the menu names) and turned down the contrast to a sane value.
after this fix, the problem returns if the config files in .rockbox are deleted in disk mode and rebooted.
could rockbox boot up for the first time with a sane contrast value for the 3G ipod? My current setting is: 36.
this may be related: when booting, even with the correct contrast setting, first the apple logo appears as normal, then the screen turns black with the back-light on and the apple logo is barely perceptible (is that intended?), then the screen goes white for a short time and the rockbox logo appears, and boot-up continues.
thanks. ; )
