Slow charging with my Zen Mic

I've got my Zen micro 3 months and i'm thrilled with it. But now my player does charge very, very, very slowly. The charging-icon is flashing, but there aren't any blocks coming. I just charge it with my usb..
What do I have to do?!

Is there anyone out there who could help me with this problem?

Anyone else experiencing slow charging with their Galaxy S4?

After updating my phone to kit kat some time ago, I've recently been experiencing slow charging issues. I plugged my phone in for about two hours and the battery went from 2%-48%. I continued to let it charge til 2a and it was only at 63%. It did eventually reach 100% but I don't understand why it's recently become an issue. I'm using the OEM charger and cable, tried plugging the AC adapter directly into a wall outlet, and even purchased a new battery.

Look at what it is charging at. The stock OEM one charges in the range of 1200-1800. I had the same issue and Samsung did something to mess with non OEM chargers. Is the charger you have the one that came with the phone or did you order it online as an "OEM" one?

External Charger For the Zen Mic

will there be an external charger for the Zen Micro? So you can always have a juiced up battery ready and willing to go? =)

I think it's a huge inefficiency to require that the player be out of commission during the battery charging.
An optional external charger would remedy this problem and would make having a second battery the seamless way to have constant connectivity.
As it stands, you can't use the player for 3+ hours while it's charging.
These proprietary batteries that are only chargeable via Creative products are confining and non-user-friendly.
An optional external charger would make this player much more usable.
PS - otherwise - I LOVE IT!!!

Music Match with my Zen Mic

I use MMJB Plus as my primary music player on my computer. I like the way it organizes things and I LOVE the supertagging feature. When I plugged in my Zen Micro MMJB recognized it as a portable device and seemed to work fine to transfer files to my new favourite toy. I haven't seen MMJB listed anywhere as one of the recommended programs, so I'm wondering if there are known problems?
Does anyone know of any reason I should NOT continue to use this program (I'm a creature of habit, and I'm used to MMJB).
Thanks,

I believe MMJB has *just* been upgraded to work with the Zen Micro, so I need to add this to the FAQ at Nomadness.net. In the past it has had a lot of problems which is why I'd not added it to the FAQ.

IPad 3 slow charging with 10W charger?

Got my new iPad yeserday. Compared with my iPad 1 the charging via the 10W charger is really slow. Went to bed with power at 20%, and over 6 hours it only reached 85% charge. Normal? Others seeing the same thing? I suppose the battery capacity increase would be expected to require a longer charge...but really this slow?

Dear David,
Was your iPad sleeping while it was on the charger or was it active?
I ran some power tests yesterday. It's important to remember that not only does the new iPad have a battery that is 70% or so larger, it draws substantially more power when running (the reason for the new battery).
Testing with two different Apple AC chargers that I have, it looks like the total charge time for a sleeping iPad should be in the 5-6 hour range (that's going from approximately 0 to 100%). But… trying to charge a wakeful iPad takes more than twice as long as that. Most of the wattage being put out by the charger is going to run the iPad, not to recharging the battery.
You'll see similar effects if you're using the new iPad plugged into a USB port. My iPad2 would hold just about steady plugged into a standard powered USB hub, it would drop maybe 1-2% an hour. The new iPad drops more than 5% an hour. 5 W just isn't enough to sustain it.
Note that these results for wakeful iPads are going to depend very much on the brightness setting for the screen and the processor load. There's no way I'm going to tear my iPad apart and run proper tests on it, but it wouldn't surprise me if at the extremes power consumption ranges from under 5 W to over 10 W.
Not being willing to dig into my precious toy, I have no idea if the internal circuitry can stand much more than 10 W of charging power. If it can, I wouldn't be surprised to see a “fast” 15-20 W charger become available. There are some users who will be vexed by the substantially longer charging time. With the older iPads, you could pop it on the charger over breakfast or lunch and get enough juice to run for the next half day or over dinner to carry you through the evening. That's not going to be the case with the new iPad.
Absent such a “fix” we're just going to have to make some mental adjustments and consider this the price we're paying for a whole slew of major improvements.

*URGENT* Problem with my Zen Mic

Okay so I tried updating the firmware to 2.0, no problem. I did that at my sister's house and when I tried to plug in my Zen into my computer to upload songs again, Windows didn't recognize it. So I repeatedly installed/uninstalled the drivers (downloading the driver and using the cd-rom) but it still wouldn't recognize my Zen. So I put it in rescue mode to reload the firmware and now whenever I turn it on, it says firmware problem. Sorry if this has already been answered by I searched through the forums and didn't find anything. So how do I get out of rescue mode and then make my computer recognize my Zen?
I apolgize in advanced if this question has already been answered but I really did try using search and I couldn't find anything regarding my situation.
Thanks a lot guys!

Did you read this...
Filename: ZenMicroMTP_PCFW_LB_2_0_05.exe
IMPORTANT: This is a beta version of this update. Before you decide whether to install beta firmware, it is important to understand that a beta release does not have the stability of released Creative firmware. Beta releases are meant for testing and validation, so you may encounter problems with a beta release that could possibly result in loss or corruption of data, necessitate a reformat of the device, or, in extremely rare cases, may render the device inoperable.
Be sure to back up all the audio and data files on your Zen Micro before installing this firmware update as all content will be lost when you install the new firmware. After installing PlaysForSure on your player, use Windows Media Player 0 to restore audio and/or data files to your player.
That's why I'm not upgrading it!

I Need Help With My Zen Mic

I don't know what is wrong. I have a Creative Zen Micro 6 GB. I received it as a gift a couple Christmases back. One day I went to turn it on to listen to it and it said that it was on Recovery Mode. Then it had a list that looked something like this.
Creative Zen Micro v0.0.65
1. Clean Up
2. Format All
3. Reload Firmware
4. Reboot
That was about fi've or six months ago, and I still haven't been able to fix it. I went to reboot it, and it just went back to the same screen. I did the clean up, and I know I deleted all my songs and stuff because I hit the Format All. I went to Circuit City to see if they could help and they said to go to the website and download the firmware, but when I did, it said there were no firmware updates.
If anyway could help I would be really greatfull. I would hate to have to buy a stupid iPod.

It's either the v.0 firmware, or v2.0 firmware. Mine's running 2.0, and the recovery menu says v0.0.65. I don't know if the v.0 will show something different.
You should be running Windows XP, and preferably have Windows Media Player 0. People have reported problems with WMP. Some have reported problems when running Service Pack 2. To check your service packs, go to Start > Run > winver It will say "Windows XP 5.._________ (Service Pack __)"
If you're running v firmware (Requires Creative MediaCenter), ensure that MediaCenter (or whatever it's called) is installed properly.
If you're running v2 firmware, having that software installed can sometimes mess things up.
If you have access to a second computer, I'd strongly recommend that. Try this: Start up your Zen, keep the backlight ali've, and watch very carefully. Does it say "Firmware Problem" for a split second before cutting to the recovery menu? Turn it off and back on, but hold the back of the player against your ear, or someone with good hearing. Do you hear the microdri've spin up?

Can I use my RCA 5.5v charger with my Zen M 60gb?

Hi, I have an RCA charger that says the following:
Input: 00-240v ~ 50-60hz 0.3a
Output: 5.5v --- .8a 9.9w
Can somebody compare this to their actual charger or otherwise tell me if this would be safe to use on my Zen M 60gb? I'm a liiiiittle bit nervous about it!

WMP Autoplaylists with multiple Zen Mic

I have my own Zen Micro and used the Autoplaylist WMP plugin to create playlists for 70's, 80's, etc. which I transferred to my Micro. All the songs in WMP's My Library exist on my player. In other words, WMP's My Library is identical to my own Zen's content and all the playlists that exist in WMP have also been transferred to the Zen.
I recently bought a new 6GB Zen Micro for my sister-in-law and transferred about 30% of my music to her player to give her something to be going on with. As it stands, the tracks are all there but of course, there are no playlists. Note that the content on her player is only a subset of my PC's content.
If I drag any of my own Autoplaylists on to the Sync List for her Zen, it appears to transfer the content, instead of just the playlist criteria. Gi'ven that not all the tracks in my 70's playlist (for example) exist on her player, I have not proceeded with the sync.
Is there any way to create Autoplaylists on a second Zen Micro, such that there would be different 70's playlists for each Micro, or are the Autoplaylists specific to WMP rather than connected players?Message Edited by Shiskine on 0-02-2006 05:00 PM

IPad Mini slower charging with iOS7

Charging from non mains supplies like solar panels and car chargers has been reduced below 1 amp.
Why Apple?

Mine acts the same way. I found an old, ratty, beat-up cable (USB on one end, iPad 3 connector on the other) that is an official Apple cable (my little white transformer plug unit is also official Apple 10 watt), and tried it, and it works.
Have you tried scrounging up an official Apple cable?
I also have an iPhone 5 (not 'S' or 'C', just the humble, original 5) and I have not had this same problem. My after-market chargers work fine on it.
It's apparently something about the iPad 3 hardware that causes this, or perhaps something in the iOS7 code behaves differently on the newer devices.
FWIW

M9 Very Slow Charging Even With Quick Charge 2.0 Chargers

I have a continuing problem with very slow charging even with Quick Charge 2.0 chargers. For example last night I had the M9 plugged into a fast charger for over 12 hrs and it went from 5% battery to 87%. I checked the Settings - Battery usage history - and it displays "NO APPLICATIONS FOUND" - very strange...
Something is very wrong. I have multiple 2 amp and quick chargers all with poor charging times. I have tried each of these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FW1GE9S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L40YJ8O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TAOEKPS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HP0FOCM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/
The Ampere app displays varying charger power from 15 mA to 880 mA so I don't think it is accurate.
Testing with multiple chargers point to the problem in the M9. This is maddening. Seriously considering returning the M9.
Any feedback?

Charge Nomad Juke Zen Xtra with US

Quick question, does anyone know if it's possible to charge a Nomad Zen Xtra (a few years old) with a USB 2.0 connection? I've tried connecting it, but it doesn't seem to charge like other portable USB devices I have do.
Maybe there is software/ drivers/ firmware I need updated before this will work?
Any help is appreciated.

Joe,
Unfortunately the answer is no. That player doesn't support USB charging.

Xperia z3 compact charge with dock dk48 is slow !

I use Ampere application to check amperage when xperia z3 compact charge with dock dk48 (I always charge on 15%)I see :from 15% to 89% so amperage 800mA-900mAfrom 90% to 100% so amperage 150mA-250mAand finally pin full charge 100% need 3 hours 10 minutesIt is slowand my question is : If I use dock dk48 to charge, it really does safe for my z3 compact ?????????

They should be equal, as long as the phone isn't used more when in the dock, which would make the charging slower.
