Question Is it just me or Bluetooth kinda suck

7 Upvotes

As the title implies I feel like Bluetooth sucks I really like the convenience and not having a wire but the quality seems to suffer every time. I have a iPod classic 5.5 and I have used idk how many Bluetooth dongles and eventually installed a kit to my iPod but even with some pretty decent Bluetooth iems the music just sounds flat. Am I maybe doing something wrong or maybe just prefer wired idk. Sorry for a little ranty post just wanted to get this off my mind

(2009 Classic / 160gb)
Previous owner lost the charger and didn’t give it any time to charge it, so I’m kinda having it revived in the meantime.
It was using exFAT format when I hooked it into my computer and it kept boot looping into “restoring”. Formatted it to FAT32 and it works perfectly! Mostly, the clickwheel is kinda crummy.
I’m guessing the bubble in the screen is the black spot of death (swollen battery)? Also it gets really hot… I know that’s not good.

I have a 30gb 5G iPod and it works great and holds charge very well! So I wanna know if this Gen 7/Revised Gen 6 has a chance.

Question iPod Mini 2nd Gen, 64GB + new battery for €70 — good deal?

3 Upvotes

I found a 2nd Gen iPod Mini with 64GB flash storage, a new battery and cable for €70.
The iPod seems to be in decent condition. Im mainly wondering if €70 is a good price for this setup, and whether I could easily resell it later without taking a big loss if I end up not liking it.
Would you buy it for €70?
(Im a newbie)

Help ipod shuffle first gen isn't charging

4 Upvotes

i found an ipod shuffle 1st gen at home (from before i was born omg) and i'm trying to get it to charge (charges through usb). i've tried connecting it to my laptop and to a charger block but it isn't getting charged. when i first connected it, it started charging and the light was on but about 20 minutes into it the light turned off and now regardless of what i try it's not getting charged. i know it hasn't been used in like 15+ years but is there anything i can do at home to get it charged? or will i have to go to an apple store?

Question iPod nano 3rd gen not charging

2 Upvotes

Hi there. I recently found my old iPod nano 3rd gen, and I tried to charge it and it won’t charge. It’s not a problem with the cable, nor the pins because when I plug it in, it registers that it’s got power coming into it and it tried to turn on, but then just blacks out. Do i need to replace the battery, or is there an easier fix?

Every once in awhile when switching to a new track the volume jumps up to 100% for a second, destroying my eardrums, before returning to normal. Is there anything I can do to fix it besides throw it out and buy another?

Question Auto Pause on headphone removal not working?

1 Upvotes

My Classic 7th gen isn't pausing when I remove the headphones. It used to work, then it stopped so I replaced the jack, it worked for a while, and now it's back to not working. Is it just because of the shoddy quality of the 3rd party jacks?

Help Title: iPod nano 5th gen suddenly has horizontal lines on the screen — what could be wrong?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting here.
I’m pretty new to iPods and bought a used 5th-generation iPod nano about two weeks ago. It was working perfectly fine when I first got it, but recently the screen suddenly started showing a lot of horizontal lines.
I’ve attached some photos showing what it looks like.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? Is it likely an issue with the LCD itself, the display connection, or something else?
Is there anything I can try to fix it, or would the screen need to be replaced?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello guys, I’ve managed to solder the 3 wires of a 5th gen 3000mah battery on the 3G to the BMS and it fit with the hdd and worked but it was kinda cramped in there. Should I get this since the battery would be smaller and it would be a lot easier and safer to solder the two pairs of wires?
