ZEN M RADIO PROB

Hi all,
I have just purchased a ZEN M and was thinking that it has got FM Radio.. But after I turned it on I understood that FM Radio isn't available.. So I am trying to download or purchase FM Radio but still couldn't find how to do.. Could you please assist me in order to solve my FM radio problem..
Regards
Metin

I've just had this exact problem. One minute there was a radio option, the next it had vanished.
I have tried updating firmware on my ZVM fro .3x to the latest, checking that it isn't hidden, restarting, formatting you name it I've tried it. Been through this forum god knows how many times looking for something that will help.
I contacted Customer Services, got that automated email which was of little to no help and responded to them asking for further help. A few days on I am still waiting for any further advice.
If anyone here has anything that may help please suggest it as nothing so far has done it and the official line seems to be silence.
Its annoying that this has happened after 6 months of solid service. Weird thing is that everything else works still tho.

Zen Micro radio prob

My Zen Micros radio doesn't work at all. When I try to listen to it there is no sound at all. Does anybody know why?

Just a thought - have you tried tapping the play/pause button to take it out of the "presets" mode? Mine is perfectly silent when in preset mode with no preset set. Tapping the pause button allows you to toggle to scan or tune via the forward/back buttons.

Zen MicroPhoto Radio Prob

Hello,?I have a weird problem about my Zen MicroPhoto. I just opened my mp3 player and tried to choose radio, but radio was not on the list. I had a look at configure menu but i cant find anything related with radio at my Zen MicroPhoto. What can be reason and solution?

microphoto uses oled screen not lcd. well for some reason oleds are cheap there better than lcd in someways but suck in others. uhh it could be that you got a fualty display id get it replaced or try the sleek photo. same price.

FM Radio prob

I recently purchased creative zen about a month ago and one day it froze at the creative logo and so i formated the hardisk and did a disk cleanup and then ran the 2.x.x.x whateva update it start working right but now all of a sudden i dont even have the FM Radio feature on the main menu i have checked where you can customize the menu and add things and it wasnt even there. The model i have is a Creative Zen Micro and if anyone can help me thanks in advance.

I know this topic is long since dead but I really need some help with a similar problem.
Recently I have been having the same problem since I updated from .42.x to .62.0 version of the Zen Vision M firm ware and when i tried going back to an older firm ware which the radio was working on for my brother in the display options menu it only made things worse by adding two new options with no label and they do absolutely nothing I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas because my personal experence with the tech support has been far from being even decent and I would like to avoid them if at all possible.

Zen micro FM prob

my 5gb zen micro doesn't have the option for changing from mono to stereo. but more than that, it doesn't have an option to choose between international or japan frequency...so my player doesn't pick up any frequency at all.
is this true for others?
is it caused by the current firmware upgrade?

thanks everyone...
it was my player that was defecti've.anyway, i was able to have the unit changed now i can listen to both radio and mp3s.
thanks a bunch!

Zen Neeon Questions/Prob

I bought a zen neeon recently, but when it arri'ved the LOCK button doesn't work. Also the menus are really really slow, and there's no way I can find to get it to display the artist name for my songs. The FM tuner doesn't seem to pick any stations up either, I've put it on the desk next to another radio which works okay.
I ran all the updates on it, but nothing has helped. I'm really miffed, it's like 2 weeks old.
I li've in Japan so I have to post here to find if these things are normal or if they've shipped me some broken or test model by mistake.
I got someone to phone their support (who speaks Japanese, but not so great English), who said send it back for repair or to get a refurbished one, but really I want my money back, cos it looks like i've been done. I really don't want a refurbished or repaired one either, cos I've had it like a WEEK! If I'd wanted 2nd hand I'd have gone to ebay and paid a lot less!
I really want my money back but I suspect they'll only let me RMA it. Does Creative have a worldwide policy on refunds?
I googled for firmware upgrades and found some mentions, my player has .0.0.5 according to its menu. I've seen mention of other numbers but nothing in creative america or creative japan websites. I ran the auto update tool but it says there's nothing new (tried both again, america and japan).
Any ideas, or have I just lost a huge chunk o' money?

hi,my name is Jessie, i bought a Zen Neeon from Hong Kong,but i li've in UK and it just started frozing today but i have never dropped it or damage it......i got really depressed
can you speak japanese?

Zen micro radio without wi

I read that radio in Zen micro needs to use headphone wire to catch waves!

And my question:
What if I buy wireless headphones like ?Logitech Wireless Headphones for MP3. which connects by Bluetooth? Will the radio work? :smileyvery-happy:


If it'ss useful: I living in Poland. But all radio in Micro are the same-I think:smileyvery-happy:

I just tried with some headphones I have that have an extension wire. I removed the wire so the headphones themselves only have abour 30cm of cable. I actually got a reasonable reception, but I am in the middle of a large city. With the bluetooth headset I guess it's going to depend on exactly how much cable there is, not much presumably, and the strength of local stations.

Zen micro radio reception & headpho

Quick question for anyone. I currently have the Zen micro & I am looking to get a new pair of headphones. The one that came with it don't really fit my ears! I had heard at one time (I thought) that the headphones that came with it have the antenna built into for the radio reception. Is this true or false? If it's true do all of Creative's headphones have the antenna built into it's If not, will any headphones due?
Thanks for any help!!

any headphones will do...the wires of the headphones act as the antenna..

Zen Micro Radio Recept

I have a zen micro, and I have to say I love it. I get almost 4 hours out of the batteries. I have had no problems whatsoever. My only thing is the radio reception. I know that it generally sucks, but I made a discovery last night. With any headphones I used, the reception was bad. When I plugged a Bose headphones extender into it the receptio jumped to almost perfect. It would seem that the reception is directly related to the length of the headphone cord. Has anyone else expireinced this?

I love in vancouver Canada, and im using the stock creative headphones and i so far have had no problem with the radio what so ever. although the sound does become fuzzy if i go into lower levels of the mall but that is just a minor thing to me.

Zen Micro Radio Problems -No Sou

I just bought a Zen Micro with the .0.03 firmware. It works fine playing mp3's but when I try the radio I hear nothing. Tried using autoscan and it picks up a bunch of frequencies that I know are not radio stations and I hear nothing on them either.
I upgraded to the new firmware (.02.05) but still no joy.
The radio worked once for about a second when I was trying to tune in stations, but that was only a short blast of static, the rest of the time its just quiet even with volume turned right up.
What gives?

ya just changed a sennheiser ear piece and it seem abit shorter than creative orginal ones..
and some stations becomes hissing....
as I know the FM antenna is the wire of ur earpiece.
but have to give and take , cos sennhesier earpiece sound more better....

Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra firmware prob

I tried to upgrade the firmware and now my Xtra is in Rescue Mode.
None of the updates that I downloaded from the website area all telling me that no device is detected.
But my computer recognizes my Xtra.
I tried downloading everything again but that didn't work.
Now my wife bought a Zen V with all different programs, but I don't know if that makes a difference.
What exactly am I doing wrong?

if the above solution doesn't work, i had a similar problem on the same model. if i remember, i just did different combinations of reboots, formatting, and firmware upgrades. it sounds unscientific, but i eventually got the computer to recognize the player and it worked until it got stolen (sad story). i know this isn't great advice, but in short: don't give up on it too easily. those things are surprisingly resiliant.

Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra connection prob

I already tried searcing the forums, And I didn't come across anything like this, And anything I came across that was similar I did as was suggested and it didn't help. anyways, onto the problem...:
I'm using Windows XP by the way.
I just got a new Zen Xtra a few days ago because I had to return my first one because the harddri've crashed, so I took this one home, loaded my music onto it and it was fine. Today I went to load more music onto it and my computer started lagging really badly, I use Realplayer to put my music onto the player and when I clicked into it, It would freeze as it was starting and I'd have to kill the program.
Then I tried going into My Computer to go into the Nomad explorer, Except my computer took about 5 minutes to find itself, And then it only found 'Desktop' and 'My Computer' which, 'My Computer' had nothing in it. So I went into desktop and that fixed the problem with the harddri'ves showing up, Except once I get into Nomad Explorer it says my player isn't connected.
I (physically) disconnected and reconnected my player while in Nomad Exploer but it's still a no-go.
I cleaned up the disk on my player and rebooted it, I used a different cable and tried all my USB ports. What do you suggest I do?
I really need some help and if it doesn't get fixed I'm not getting another replacement, I'll have to get a different brand.Message Edited by spring90 on 08-07-2006 04:43 PM

Ok... I think I figured it out. I finally got into the recovery mode. I let the battery sit out of the mp3 player for a while, hoping that there is a capacitor that would run out of power. I put the battery back in and got into recovery mode. I ran disk clean up. Nothing changed. I had the same problem I first started off with. So I took the battery out again for an hour. Came back, and got back into recovery mode. I reinstalled the OS. Everything seems to be working fine.
I hope that anyone having a similar problem with this mp3 player can keep this in the back of their mind if they cannot get into recovery mode due to a boot up and shut down problem.

Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60gp prob

Well, to start off with, I loved my mp3 player. So far, I ran into problems that I could not fix. I downloaded all of the updates that were needed. My mp3 player, a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60gb, suddenly would not work the same way. When the power adapter of battery are inserted, the player starts up. When they are pulled the player shuts down. One of the problems is when the player is on, it doesn't want to leave the main screen that says, "EAX". The hard dri've is not spinning, and no data is being accessed. I found on this website a page that tells users how to reset their mp3 player. For my mp3 player, it must be turned off for me to do a hard disk check, re-installation of operating system, or a format of the hard dri've...which is another problem, because I cannot turn it off. As I stated previously, the player is either on or off depending on if the battery is in or not. I am totally puzzeled. I cannot connect the player to the computer because of this problem. So either I have a new 60gb laptop hard dri've, or I figure out a way to get this to work. I haven't been able to find any threads like this or any users experiencing these problems.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Nomad julebox Zen NX 30Go prob

Hello !I have a problem with my nomad zen NX 30 Go: It was running very well, but today when I started it, the screen was blocked on "EAX", I can hear the harddri've disc turning for 0 secondes before it stops, but the screen still displays "EAX". I don't hear any music, I can't set it off, I only have to unplug the battery. What is the problem please

Try getting the player into Rescue Mode. If you can get it into that menu, try the Clean Up first to see if that hel
