Exclamation Please don't let this be the battery...

Hello, hello.

Well, in simplistic terms, I'm not happy with this H10 at the moment, so hopefully there's some solution...

Recently, a month or two after I installed Rockbox (great piece of software, added tons of features to my player) the thing starts to lose it's youth, or something.

When the device turns on and I browse the directory to start playing music, response to the player lengthens. The longer you play, the larger the gap comes between the controls and the H10. Eventually, it's rendered uncontrollable, and the audio starts to clip occaisonally.

Additionally, the touch-pad area heats up to abnormal temperatures, and battery seems to drain insanely fast, regardless of having backlight on. I left the thing off at 1/3 level, turned it on the next day to find it on empty.

I blamed the battery for the performance issue, and the leaking of power. Very conveniently, this battery is unremovable.

If any help is available, your time would be appreciated, since I expected the player to die a little later than 9 months of usage. :\

Do the problems work in the Original Firmware, or not? That would tell us if it is Rockbox or not.

slow user interface coupled with audio clipping problems sounds like you're using the equalizer - as far as im aware rockbox isn't yet able to offer full equalizer functionality without a huge performance hit on the h10 unit itself.

hot scroll pad, thats unusual. no idea

Yeah, my H10 running 'high power options' such as equalizer or pitch controls cause my H10 to get quite hot, usually on the back. Anyhow, you are probably using the Rockbox default WPS. It's horrible, laggy, processor hungry and horrible .Use iCatcher or Rockboxed, or download one someone else has made, or be creative and make your own :P.

I don't know about your player heating up
But when I first switched to rockbox, I had the same problem with the response time getting longer and longer, until it is completely unuseable and the audio clipping. The advice that was given to me was to switch to a WPS with out peak limits. The WPSs that come with rockbox seem to make it incredibly slow, try finding a WPS on here, and switching to that, and see how that goes

i have a similar problem, the only difference is that i run a very minimal wps- track name, track artist, date, time, status bar and remote/player lock display, all of which is text based. i also saw some effect on the stock firmware, but it at least lasted for more than 8 hours compared to the 30 minutes or less with rockbox.

however i must confess that since i recieved my h340, i haven't used my h10 much, the last rockbox version is from somewhere around octo/november.
