Firmware wishlist for the MuVo Sport C

I would like to start a thread to discuss the suggestions for firmware update for the MuVo Sport C00. FYI, I am running firmware version .0.0. Please post your comments or ideas to my suggestions, or reply with your own comments.
Before I begin, I'd like to say that I think the C00 is an awesome sports player, but it could definitely be improved. My Fiance has the Rio Cali 256, which is also a good sports player. Right now I think it's a toss up between the Cali and C00, but I think the C00 has the potential to outshine the Cali. (I like the Cali's separate volume controls, but I dislike how it falls out of the armband.)
Here are my suggestions in my order of importance:
[urgent] Fix the stopwatch so that the user can change tracks while the stopwatch is running. You should be able to press "Menu' and toggle between stopwatch and music modes while the stopwatch is running.</LI>
[urgent] Fix shuffle mode so that it truly shuffles playback from internal and external memory. Right now it appears to select songs from internal memory 90% of the time. Also, I don't think the player has ever selected anything over the 200th song on the player for shuffle playback at the root level.</LI>
Provide the ability to select a specific song for playback from the Menu. Right now, you can only select the folder for playback and then navigate to a specific song from there.</LI>
Reorder the Menu icons, and place "Folder", "Stopwatch", "Music" and "Play Mode" next to each other. This would allow for easier and faster navigation while running.</LI>
That's all I can think of now. Does anyone know how to submit these to Creative's dev team so they can consider them for a future firmware update?

Definitely, point one in the list is the most urgent one (making player functions accessible without having to stop the stopwatch). This ridiculous flaw leads to the situation that from day one after buying the device it rests unused in my drawer. I do not agree that there is no marketing for this device. Actually, I bought this thing for 20 Euro after I read in an ad that this was the ideal mp3 player for sports. Maybe for 00m runners this is right (you barely change a music track during the2 seconds). But for any distance above 000m it is just laughable.
I wish there would not have been marketing at the time when I searched for a sports-mp3 player. I wouldn't have fallen into the trap to buy this crap. And that Creative is not able to provide a firmware upgrade which corrects this bug for about .5 years now is enought reason for me to make a BIG detour whenever I see a Creative product on a shelf.

  • PETITION: This is what I would like to see in a new firmware upgrade for the MTP ZEN TO

    FIXES:
    -Ensures correct playback on the player of Zencast audio content that has been transferred using Zencast organiser. Remaining time is displayed correctly, and rewind / fast-forward functions can be used
    - Allows users to transfer tracks between folders on the player when using a program such as Creative Mediasource [THIS IS NEEDED FOR ALL MTP PLAYERS]
    - Allows charging via USB when the player is not being used by a program or is low on battery [THIS FEATURE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN REMOVED BY MTP UPGRADE]
    ENHANCEMENTS / ADDITIONAL FEAUTRES [I HAVE LISTED THESE BY MY PERSONAL ORDER OF PREFERENCE]:
    ) Allows the playback of Audible content types ,2,3,4 on the player, via a plug-in in Audible Manager
    2) Adds bookmarking feature to the player
    3) Adds SmartVolume EQ feature to the player
    4) Adds DJ menu to the player
    5) Allows user to partition a section of the player for data transfer
    6) Allows user to synchronise tasks from Outlook to the player
    7) Allows TXT files/ Ebooks to be stored/ viewed on the player
    8) Adds BassBoost EQ feature to the player
    PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION TO URGE CREATIVE TO INTRODUCE AT LEAST SOME OF THESE FIXES / FEATURES IN A FIRMWARE UPGRADE FOR THE MTP ZEN TOUCH - also please feel free to add other suggestions that would improve the functionality of the Zen Touch

  • What was the last firmware version for the Zen Micro before M

    I would like to know what was the last firmware version for the Zen Micro before the MTP firmware?
    Please make sure you are 00% on this.
    Thankyou.

    I think it does, but I'm not sure; since I wanted MTP, I only used .x firmware long enough to save the original Creative test files (with MediaSource, not ZMME) before upgrading to 2.x. And yes, I had to li've with 2..02's shorter battery life until 2.20.05 came out.
    May I ask why you want to go back to .x firmware? The only thing that will get you is the ability to use it with Win98SE/2000/Me--but only if you can install Creative drivers on every PC you use it with. MTP requires WinXP SP or 2 and WMP 0, but doesn't need any Creative software at all to work. (Microsoft has made an MTP driver for Win98SE/2000/Me, but it requires customization and may not be supported by other software. I'm tinkering a bit with the customization part right now.)
    There are other pitfalls in changing Micro firmware families, in either direction--you'll lose all the files on your Micro, you'll have to install a different ZMME (and I've heard non-MTP ZMME isn't quite as full-featured as MTP ZMME), and you'll need a new plug-in for MediaSource to work.

  • Is there a firmware update for the Apple RAID Card [early 2009 Xserve] that will take it beyond the E-1.3.2.0 version and allow it to see 4TB drives?

    Is there a firmware update for the Apple RAID Card [early 2009 Xserve] that will take it beyond the E-1.3.2.0 version and allow it to see 4TB drives?

    I have a few of these RAID cards in a couple servers, and then I have an earlier version of the RAID card in a few different servers.
    The earlier servers are running non-apple 1.5 TB drives. It will be interesting to learn if this firmware update will indeed allow me to boost the capacity by installing non-apple drives, as the firmware previously has not.
    Ohh I'm excited to update and try! This will greatly help out if it does!

  • What's the latest firmware version for the Xperia Tablet Z?

    What's the latest firmware version for the Xperia Tablet Z?
    According to the Swedish and British Sony website, the latest version for the Xperia Tablet Z is 10.1.1.A.1.253 released on 17th of May.
    But this is the latest version for the Xperia Z (phone) not the tablet Z... Or am I wrong?
    It's a bit confusing, when the manufacturer cannot keep track of the phone and tablet...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Depends on if you have the WiF version or the LTE version. For LTE the latest is 10.1.1.A.1.253 and for WiFi it's 10.1.C.0.344.

  • Lack of firmware updates for the N95 8GB

    Does anyone know what the latest firmware is for the N95 8GB?  I've unlocked my phone from Vodafone but the updater still says the latest version is 20.0.016 but there are numerous posts talking about version 30?

    As stated in his first post he has unlocked his phone. Also there is no point even phoning Vodafone. I spent around 2 months speaking to them trying to get an update for my N96 which never came. I was then also told they were under no obligation to do it either. Only option for me was to get the vodafone branding removed, so glad I did as he phone is much quicker now.

  • Protective cover/case for the MuVo TX

    Does Creative make like a hard cover/case for the MuVo TX FM? Not the little plastic sleeve that come with it either. Like a complete covering case.

    Check the shop on this website, they should have a protecti've case for the MuVo TX FM although i'm not sure if they make hard cover cases, they should.

    Hello, in case of the Intel X79 chipset, which has a SATA controller of the C600 workstation chipset integrated it is impossible to install the firmware ...with my PCIe Addon-Card with USB3 (Renesas) / SATA6 (Marvell) it is impossible, too; I don't use Win7 so I must use the .iso for update ... any suggestion please; does onybody know why the SSD after only 1 day shows a HD tune like this: what has happened, I installed it, made a partition and copies about 100 GB of my virtual machines; and had them run for about 16 hours:- one is only a private WINS server (WinNT 4.0)- one is my private DNS server (2.5 GByte vmdk)- one is my sixxs tunnel provider (4 GByte vmdk)- one is my personal old proxy (squid 2.5) (10 GByte vmdk)- one is my personal new ssl-bump proxy (squid 3.3) (8 GByte vmdk)- one is my personal mail server (Postfix/Cyrus) (16 GByte vmdk)and a few more but not every did run at all ...  [ speed doesn't really matter, because this SSD is connected not at the onboard SATA controller - X79/C600; I connected it on a PCIe Addon controller that has additional external USB 3 ports (Renesas) and additional SATA 6 ports (Marvell) ]the firmware update was done on another PC with Intel Z77 chipset; but next time I'd would like to do this without the need of another PC .- the support of the Marvell controller would be fine; Thanks,Walter

  • 1GB sd card for Creative Muvo Sport C100 questi

    )the name of ones that will works with the Creative Muvo Sport C00.
    2)the best one I should get (or should I just get the cheapest).
    Thanks

    It sounds like something got corrupted in the memory. I would reformat and transfer the music again. Won't take long ... 256MB with 50-ish tracks at USB2 speeds is quick.

  • Firmware Maddness for the Zen Mic

    Is it just me or is this firmware business out of control for the Zen Micro?
    Having a .0 series and a 2.0 series at the same time is creating way too much confusion!
    Aren't MP3 players supposed to be replacing portable CD Players and Cassette Players? Well the coolness factor is there, but the user experience has some serious room for improvment.
    The common person would have no clue what the heck to do with all these firmware downloads. Even the descriptions of the firmware would be very confusing for most people getting into MP3 players for the first time. I am very happy with my Zen Micro and am using Windows Media Player as my Music Manager without any problems. I guess I am supposed to wait for the new 2..02 beta to get "un-betad" instead of downloading the new .02.05 but that's just a guess at this point. There are a ton of MP3 players out there with more features and a lower price than iPods, but they still don't come close to outselling it. That's because its the ease of use, not necessarily the features that separates iPods from the rest of the pack. Hey Creative, dummy these things down and watch your sales go up! You will reach a whole new set of customers if you do!

    I agree, I'd like to see creatives mp3 players and napsters service to be a profitiable and long-lasting business because I think this way of finding and listening to music is wonderful.. but the firmware updates/formatting the dri've/and all this other technical stuff is a little bit much for the average person to deal with. Also the newest non-MTP version has a bunch of new fixes which the newest MTP version apparently doesn't even have but they both came out the same day or so? I dont understand that.

  • Firmware update for the harddisk

    I ve got a warning that i must checked my harddisk firmware, so i do that, and indeed i must update the firmware for my TS 600-1040
    After downloading i must do the steps, but then the program will make a cd-r but freeze, so what must i do now to update the firmware of my hard disk??
    regards Toine (Netherlands)

    Not sure exactly which firmware you are talking about, but I do see that SP46206 applies to that model.  Note that multiple hard drives can be installed in that model, but if you received the notice from HP Update or HP Advisor, odds are good you have the model.
    If you have the correct drive for the update, it should offer to allow you to make the disk later.  If so - it should drop an ".iso" copy of the CD image to the desktop, with instructions for various CD burning apps.
    If for some reason it doesn't - there's a manual way to get the .ISO.
    Start running the update.  Click Next to get past the opening screen, accept the terms of the license agreement.   Just before you click OK to continue, open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer). 
    In the address field type in %temp%
    It should show your temporary file folder.  There should be a bunch of temporary files/folders ther.  Look for a file in a subfolder (usually starts with the letters pft) with the extension of .ISO.
    Copy that file somewhere where you can find it - like your desktop.
    Exit out of the update.
    Launch a CD burning application, such as Cyberlink DVD Suite, Roxio, etc - and choose to "burn image to disk".  Then you should be able to load the update.
    Hope this helps.  If the update doesn't apply to your system, it should refuse to load.

  • When will the firmware update for the Note 4 be released to support the Gear VR?

    I will need to look at purchasing on another device on another carrier depending on timing.    (Cross checking the Oculus and Samsung dev boards as well)

    Mihos wrote:
    Note 4 update just showed up for my phone a few minutes ago.  Installing now. They really need to communicate these things with the support agents so they can communicate better with us.  We need information to make decisions.  I can say right away, a Verizon device will never be my lead platform for development for this reason alone. Especially when the script for response leads to a link to a page that has nothing to do with phones, much less firmware update information.  This is, in fact, the NJ5 update, so it should work, I will verify for the support techs and the community when I get back to the lab. (I eat lunch sometimes, contrary to popular belief.)  Thanks for whoever prioritized this internally.
    Apparently it was JUST released. http://www.droid-life.com/2014/12/10/verizon-galaxy-note-4-update-vru1anj5/
