Operating Zen V Plus with full charge and charger plugged

Hello:?Just received my Zen V Plus.
I would like to be able to operate the controls when the unit is fully charged with the charger plugged in, but the controls are locked out in this configuration. How can I re-enable the controls without unplugging the unit's?Sorry if this is a repeat question. I scanned the FAQs and tried a few searches, but nothing seemed to directly address my question. Thanks.Message Edited by sabda on 03--200703:30 PM

Well, I figured it out. The on/off/lock button has different behavior when the unit is charged and plugged into the charger versus unplugged. When unplugged, a momentary push downward turns the unit on and a longer "push and hold" prompts the shutdown mode.
When the unit is plugged in, all that the momentary push does is light up the full charge indicator and the backlighting on the play and back buttons. It takes the "push and hold" on the on/off/lock button to turn the unit on. The unit works great!

Charge a Zen v Plus from mains power and still play mu

Does anyone know if you can charge a Zen V plus from mains power and still play music?

Creative could save its Help Desk/Support people and their consumers <i>endless</i> amounts of aggravation if they simply included a Mains wall charger with every player.
How much does a charger cost at the factory level when you make thousands upon thousands of units?
As it stands now this policy forces people, many of them not very handy with computers [and by the sounds of reading this forum, not everyone in the world is running XP with Service Pack 2 and has all their computer's ducks in a row...] to troubleshoot their USB ports, hack their Registry, delete and re-install firmware and software.
A lot of that is completely over the heads of people who merely want to listen to their favourite music and simply charge their shiny new Zen DAP.
How many people give up when they can't get their Zen recognized and return it to the store, never to buy Creative again?
One it too many when the solution is so simple and inexpensi've.

Thump / Pop noise when switching on / off Zen Stone Plus with Spea

Hello,
I just bought a 2Gb Zen Stone Plus with Speaker and I was disappointed by a very loud thump occurring when turning on/off the player. Moreover, starting with the player switched off, it is sufficient to press the on button (not necessarily until switching on completes) and the thump is there... each time I press the button! It is like an electrostatic discharge.
The thump is quite dangerous for my ears (for instance using high quality in-ear monitors) and for my 2. speakers system.
Is that normal? Should I return it's

Are you sure this isn't normal?
I hear a sort of electronic cracking sound in my right ear, quite loud and lower volume pop in my left ear after that when turning on the player. I also thought it was just cheap electronics.
I don't want to go trough the trouble of contacting the vendor for an exchange if a new one has the same thing.

Belt clip for zen stone plus with spea

I've had a Zen Stone Plus with Speaker for a little less than a year now. The speaker makes it wonderful for riding bike trails without using earphones to stay alert to the surroundings. It's worked quite well when used with a (technically unsupported) non-Windows PC. A careless person in a store collided with me yesterday, flinging it to the ground, with no damage to the electronics. It is disappointing to find, however, that there seems to be no replacement clips available for the one she damaged. Does anyone know if the clips sold with the multi skin packs for earlier models, sold elsewhere, might be the same spring clip

Hi,
Yeah..appreciate it very much.
I'll pass this to someone here for their reconsideration.
Cheers.

Are you using the latest version of Silverkeeper? - v.2.0.2 is stated to be compatible with Snow Leopard.

Charging ZEN V Plus with Playdock

Got my wife a ZEN V Plus for Christmas. She loves it. I had my name on a list to be called when the Playdock 500s became available. Got the call about 0 days ago. Ordered it and received it yesterday. It sounds great. The problem is it appears it is not charging the ZEN. I updated the ZENs firmware but the battery is still falling. I now this is pretty new but does anyone have any info on this?Thanks

I have the same exact problem with?my Zen Vision?M 30g and my Playdock z500?that I just received from Amazon on May, 3st. It absolutely does not change my mp3 player, nor will it maintain a power level?and as a matter of fact the battery drains like it normally would while being used on it's own battery power. When I plug it in to the dock?a power cord?icon comes on in the top right hand corner showing that it's on external power but the lighting bolt icon does not come on as if it's charging. If you play it continuously while docked and you undock the mp3 playert the battery will be totally dead. Also, I was watching a 3 hour video last night and the battery died while docked and it wouldn't continue to play the video even though it was in the docking station and powered on. It kept sort of like re-booting because the battery?was dead. I'm not real happy with this and will be sending it back if there is no fix for this. Anyone else having this problem?

Charging Zen V Plus with travel char

My Zen V Plus charges fine through the USB charger. It will no longer charge on a regular AC (travel) charger which it used to. When I plug in the charger it turns the device on and does not charge. Any help out there. Again, this is new, did charge through charger. Thanks, Bob

This has been discussed a few times on here. If the charger you're using is not a Creative one or a 'modified' standard charger, the player will appear to charge but not actually take any power. The player will turn on and off like it's charging but nothing actually happens. Creative have added a few extra components inside their charger that the player tries to recognise when you connect. Depending on the firmware version you can mod a standard charger quite easily to work with the Zen V+. Do a search for charging problems and you'll see quite a few people have had the same problem.

Zen Stone Plus won't charge for more than 10 min

When I charge my zen stone plus, withint 5-0 mins it will be full, as indicated by both Creative Mediasource lite as well a the blinking blue led.
But once I turn on th eplayer i am shown with only 2 bars of battery and within 5 minutes of use I am down to one bar.

My iphone 5 turns itself off even with full charge

My iPhone 5 turns itself off even with a full charge. Any help would be appreciated.

That's a very strange issue, but at the moment it could be software or hardware - the only way to find out is by restoring the iPhone.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 has all the information you need to backup and restore the iPhone.
If it's a software issue, it'll be completely fixed by restoring the iPhone!
If it's hardware, the same thing will still happen even after restoring, and you'll want to get the iPhone serviced.
