I've been again toying with the Axim x30 that is collecting dust near my desk at work. I have found a curious bug and I wonder if any Mobilereaders can duplicate it for me. Here's the chain of events:
- Play an mp3, wma, etc. from an SD card on any player.
- Pause the play
- Turn off the Axim
- Turn it back on
- Press play on the player
At this point the Axim either locks up or plays a second or two of the paused track (cached info presumably) and then skips to the next. Which action occurs depends on the player (and partially on the ROM: I updated the ROM to A05, the most recent). I find this a most depressing lapse in the ability of the device. On my T|E I listen to audiobooks all the time. I often need to pause and turn off the device to speak to someone or to tend to something that requires direct attention. I want to be able to return to exactly where I was, and quickly. My Palm has no problem with this at all, other than a small stutter as it catches back up to the file on the card. I cannot for the life of me get the Axim to perform this same function. I would be indebted to you kind folks if you could help me decipher this. Can you test your devices and see if you can repeat the problem? I would be interested if any other PPC's exhibit this, which might indicate an OS problem rather than a device specific one.
(There is also a
thread on the same subject at Aximsite, but unfortunately, I have not had much in the way of helpful response.)
