You guys make me chuckle! Yes, I say it as I mean it. I remember someone telling me that if you never say what you really mean, then you can never really mean what you say. :)

Nah, I'm not changing it, I'd have to travel quite a distance to do it and I'm not willing to, I can live with the inconsistancies and glitches, but the battery during video playback (which really pi$$es me off) - please don't be offended by this - is NOT going to improve by exchanging it...

Well, bring it on I say - ABOLISH NATIONALIST GOVERNMENTS!!! anyhoo..................... You're referring to the power-off after sync/charge problem? Well, without getting offended, yes. Obviously that was the first thing I tried. Then adding 'sleep' to the main menu, selecting it does...

I've been trying that on my 5G, it did raise the level high enough to drive my Behringers at decent volume(no, it WAS ear splitting, my ears bled and I was rolling on the floor) but wrecked my Sony earphones, could be coincidental but music which sounded ok (Dark Side of the Moon - straight off...

No worries. I don't think it requires too much intelligence to tell whether you're buying from an individual second hand, or brand new or from a bricks-n-mortar shop with an ebay account or whatever. For something like this, I use a shop (which in a bad-case scenario I can visit and crack...

There are plenty of others(google?) with the same(google!!) problem(google!!!), including a friend of mine with a 4G. It's just an unwanted 'feature'. Odd thing is, my friend's iPod only started doing this since the last update, I'm of the opinion that it is a software issue, reinstalling...

I'm still annoyed that I cannot turn mine off, works sometimes but when I NEED it to go off (like after a charge or sync and I need to go out in a hurry) it just stays on, until the battery is drained down.. and all the reinitialising and reseting in the world doesn't help. I'd like to sue Apple.

Agreed my good man, agreed. ;-) EDIT. Just updated to 10.4.5 and put the widgets back on, WOW. It's definately more usable than before, I'm gonna keep the widgets on.

Oh, I'd forgotten about this thread, I do vent quite a bit, do I not? That's what I love about this site, we can have a rant and then others weigh in, we chat, we reason with each other, we argue sometimes and usually a resolution is found, or a way to live with the original 'niggle' or...

Right. ok. Well, thankyou for your input, for all it's value. Did you even bother asking me about the specifics before jumping to conclusions? No. Instead you've made assumptions. I bought it from a shop who also sell via eBay, I saved about £5. I bought it online via that shop (moreover...

Although you can't kill the backlight during playback I've found that if you go into the settings and kill the backlight completely, it won't come back on during video playback, you'd need some strong light to view it under but I'm sure it would extend playback time. This info may be of use to...

Good point. Having adjustable brightness and using something with a bit more 'punch' than a paper thin battery probably helped. :-) I've got an old beaten up Zaurus 5500 (the Zaurus I mentioned before was a C860), it's battery is totally shagged and even IT can do a good hour of QVGA video...

Actually Major, sir, you'll find video is good, I've got 1264 photos, 1269 music tracks and 19 videos totalling 20.4 hours, most are full movies in excess of 1:30 and access time is fast, I'd heard there was upto a 10 second delay, 1-3 secs is the reality. It seems able to handle whatever I...

I love my mini, people make it out to be slow and lacking a bit, not for me. I love it, I'm able to listen to music while working in Lightwave 3D, I run big apps simultaneously. The only issue I have is it has 512MB which means the spinning ball makes an appearance from time-to-time when...

Yeah, I don't rate Sony anymore - stung too many times, but they can make a decent pair of earphones. The Apple headphones are just a throw-away item for me, as I say, I had a shuffle for a while and I went through THREE pairs of Apple headphones, all developed a 'pop' then failed. The cable...

I took it to a fellow iPod users house last night, it was also the first proper test of it I'd made, it seems the battery is great for playing music, I went out at 2pm and came home at 10pm with the battery hardly dented. So I guess it's ok. The clickwheel is correct, it's just me, I think...

It's finally powered off, it only took 20% of my battery and an hour of SCREAMING at the frakkin thing.

This is a rant, it's probably covered in other posts but I have to vent this poison lest I take this lovely iPod and smash it with a hammer... I've finally shelled out the dosh for an iPod, looks great, a 30GB video iPod all in black, I was so pleased when I got it last week.... but...

mmh, costs though, and I've never (in all my years) had a need to play either of those formats, I'm thinking of Divx, Xvid etc. which have to be 'doctored' to play - no good for me. I simply could not use the huge collection I have without VLC, Front Row won't cut it - unless it can use...
