Zen Micro Photo: freezes when trying to s

Hello, everyone at Creative forums. I'm glad to say that it's been a long time since I've last had any problems with my Creative player, but that's currently not the case.
Currently, my MP seems to have a weird glitch, where when it connects, it will dock and be recognized. But, when the files start syncing, it will freeze (usually in the middle of the first one) and the device will freeze, having to be reset a la battery-yank.
Oddly, my device gives the exact same behavior on both WMP0 and Media Monkey, both of which should (and previously did) sync without problems. I even tried it with Amarok under Ubuntu, but when it tries to connect, it also causes to device to dock and freeze.
This is a weird glitch I have never seen nor heard of before. I have tried a couple of firmward reloads, formats, and clean-ups to no avail. Thank you in advance; any help will be very much appreciated.

?The rebuilding every time you start up is a clue it's going. I shouldn't be doing that. I would be backing up all the music ASAP. The microphoto is the hardest one to open up but the right tools make it easier. I would go with compact flash card since it has no moving parts & most likely less exspensi've than the type of dri've that's already inside. I can only vouch for one brand & model I know works since that is what I've used 8gb runs between $25-$30 U.S.

6GB Zen Micro Photo same price as 30GB iPod pho

I do like Creative, but I do not understand why Creative has been suggesting that their new Zen Micro Photo will be priced at US$350. That is a full hundred dollars more than the current 6GB Player, and the same price as the iPod Photo with more than 3x the storage and a larger screen. Also, a color screen Dell MP3 is available for $200.
Maybe Creative is planing another price mark-down: lowing the price of the current micros into the $50 range and putting the Zen Micro Photo in the $250 range.
Anyway, I was just curious on what your opinion was. Would you buy the ZM Photo 6GB for $350 or for the same price, the 30GB iPod Photo Why do you think the ZM Photo is priced so high?

Well I'm only guessing, but I think we'll see a price drop in line with the other Micro price dro
ps.
Creative so far have been pretty quick to get their prices in line with Apple etc. I can't see things changing. I think the initial pricing for the Micro Photo was before the recent price dro

Zen Micro Photo will not charge batt

My Zen Micro Photo will work (play music) when plugged to?the AC charger. However, it will not charge the battery. Since my son has a Zen also, tryed the fully charged battery, and will not play in he player.
Why will it work when plugged to the charger, and not work with battery?

Hi,
Try to perform the Recovery Tool of your unit.
If that doesn't help either, get in touch with our Support.
Best of luck.

I'm willing to buy any faulty Zen Micro Photo (black) mp3 players or Zen V Plus (black and bl

Hi, if anyone has a Zen Micro Photo (black one) or Zen V Plus (black and blue)?that is faulty and wants to get rid of it, contact me and we can arrange something. I li've in the United Kingdom so you must be willing to send it to there. I am happy to pay by PayPal.
Regards.

I have a 4 gb black and blue Creative Zen V? Plus..... the screen is fadingg off so i'm getting pissed... and i'm panicing too because i dont thinkg creative will take it back... Your Interested? The physical features other than the screen are probably perfect because i bought a rubber case for it and had screen protection...

Suggestion: ZEN Micro Photo: Album art when playing tra

I was kinda hoping that you could display album art whilst playing tracks on the ZEN Photo. If you can, I can't figure it out, nor is it mentioned in the brief manual.
Please consider this as a suggestion to include the feature in the next firmware update. I also think it would be cool to be able to display a slide show durring audio playback. You could create presentations for the road or simply display slides in MTV fashion that go along with the tunes.
What do ya think?

* I've seen some comments on the screen being dim (or not as bright as expected). Can anybody confirm or debunk?
I set the screen contrast to 80 percent. In normal office lighting, pictures appear crisp and bright enough. In total darkness, looking at the screen won't hurt my eyes either. OLED rocks!
* I've read reports about no music while viewing pictures. True or False?
Unfortunately this is true.
* Anybody using SUBSCRIPTION music on their Micro Photo If you are, can you see album art while a track is playing (like the Apple nano)?
Unfortunately again, album art is not displayed.
Overall I'm very happy with Zen Micro Photo. The only complain is that the radio is mediocre at best.

Zen Micro Photo (batter

Does anybody knw anything about if the battery will last longer or be removable on the photo. will there be any new option (specs?). When is coming (i hope soon) or Ipod mini. I CANT WAIT!

mrsonsai,
I hope that Creative will change the pricing of the Zen Micro line to this:
5GB Micro: $40
6GB Micro: $60
4GB Photo: $90
5GB Photo: $20
6GB Photo: $230
This is of course if Creative will still make a profit selling the Micros at those prices. I mean, with all the competition in the mp3 market those prices may even be average. But I do not expect for the Zen Micro Photo to be priced the same as the iPod Photo. That would be a bad move on Creative's part.

SOLUTION - Zen Micro Photo Stuck in Recovery M

My Zen Micro Photo got stuck in recovery mode after I followed Creative Labs Technical Support suggestions. They had me do a Clean Up, a Format All a Reload Firmware and a Reboot. After doing this my unit was stuck in Recovery Mode. They then had me load the latest firmware. v .3.0, from a PC connection and I found that it worked fine, but doing the above steps put me back into Recovery Mode hell. So I did some testing.
I loaded firmware version .20.0 from my PC thinking the problem might be in the firmware version. Doing the steps they had asked me to do caused me to be in Recovery Mode Hell, so again I loaded firmware from my PC.
This time I went through each item one at a time and rebooted after each. Clean Up/Reboot, Format ALL/Reboot and Reload Firmware/Reboot. They all booted normally except when I did a Reload Firmware.
Next I loaded firmware v .3.0 to my unit again and did the same test. Again it put me in Recovery Mode Hell after I selected Reload Firmware from the Recovery Mode screen.
Conclusion DO NOT LOAD FIRMWARE FROM RECOVERY MODE. If you have to load firmware at all, do it from your PC connection. I'm going to copy this into the VERY LONG message I have had with Creative Labs Technical Support over the past 5 days and let them know what I have found. I hope this helps others to fix their Micro Photo.

I am having a similar problem. I am stuck in recovery mode and my PC won't recognize the MP3 player at all? I have rebooted, cleaned up, formatted, pulled the batt, etc. Finally I pulled the battery for longer than 30 seconds and that seemed to fix the problem. We will see.

Zen Micro Photo bugs need to be worked out - firmware update comi

Hi,
I've had my Zen Micro Photo 8gb for a month & have discovered some interesting quirks: first, I don't believe mine is defecti've, though I've had problems. I have encountered freezing on both the "Zen Microphoto" logo and "rebuilding library" screen; I scoured this forum and the Knowledge Base for answers, trying all that seemed applicable?- I tried disk cleanup and reboot (leading to rebuilding library freezes), reformats & carefully reloading the latest firmware?a couple of times. I've drawn some conclusions:?) Mediasource software is not working for me; when I switched to using only Windows Media , most problems went away.2) For whatever reason, "rebuilding library" can only be accomplished while my Zen is connected to the computer - should this be the case?3) It seems like the times my screen freezes on the "Zen Microphoto" logo I may have held the "on" switch to the side a little longer than necessary; I'm wondering if this is happening because I'm holding the switch on a little too long?Anyway, I love the size, look and sound of this player, so I hope to keep using it. NOTE: can anyone from CREATIVE tell me if there will be future firmware updates? Thanks

Zen Micro Photo Conce

I am about to purchase a Zen Micro Photo. I am choosing it over the Zen Micro because of the many posts about the headphone problem on the Zen, the clearer screen on the Micro Photo, and the lack of availability of the Zen Micro in the stores - very few stores are selling the Micro and many have only the Micro Photo (which leads me to believe that the Micro is being phased out - at least in the marketplace). I have some concerns about the Micro Photo - there seems to be some posters on this group who have a buzz from the screen. Since many reviews of the Micro Photo say how great the sound is, I am going to assume, perhaps foolishly, that the buzz has been taken care of in the recent releases or this is not as common a problem as some would like to state. My other concern is and question is how fragile are these? There are warnings about NOT jogging with the Micros. I have not seen this with other companies'hd players. I plan to use this in a car. Is this going to be a problem? Sometimes roads are bumpy.
One of the main reasons that I have chosen the Zen is the bookmarking features. I use the mp3 player for audiobooks and I want to be able to set a bookmark in mid track of a book, listen to something else, and then come back to that same place in the book and continue on - which from the Micro/Microphoto manuals I should be able to do. Is this correct?
Surprisingly, few mp3 players can do this - the Ipod can't despite it's claim that it can.
I appreciate any feedback.

Information on LiON battery lifespans.
A lithium-ion battery provides 300-500 discharge/charge cycles. The battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or use a larger battery. There is no concern of memory when applying unscheduled charges.
Although lithium-ion is memory-free in terms of performance deterioration, batteries with fuel gauges exhibit what engineers refer to as "digital memory". Here is the reason: Short discharges with subsequent recharges do not provide the periodic calibration needed to synchronize the fuel gauge with the battery's state-of-charge. A deliberate full discharge and recharge every 30 charges corrects this problem. Letting the battery run down to the cut-off point in the equipment will do this. If ignored, the fuel gauge will become increasingly less accurate. (Read more in 'Choosing the right battery for portable computing', Part Two.)
Aging of lithium-ion is an issue that is often ignored. A lithium-ion battery in use typically lasts between 2-3 years. The capacity loss manifests itself in increased internal resistance caused by oxidation. Eventually, the cell resistance reaches a point where the pack can no longer deli'ver the stored energy although the battery may still have ample charge

Zen Micro Photo Battery? Where to

Hey guys. I'm a bit confused now because I can't find an original Zen Micro Photo battery in germany. It seems like it isn*t released till now. Now I would like to if and if yes when it will be released in germany. It can*t just be true that creative wants us to use the old zen micro battery which is weaker.

Why wouldn't they take responsibility? Read through the forums, you're not the first one with battery problems. I'd say try a new battery if you can, otherwise send Creative Support an email about the problem. You'll probably have to send in your player and will get a replacement.

Zen Micro Photo in Europe - Whe

Are there any firm dates as to when the Zen Micro Photo will be available around Europe? Shops like Komplett and Pixmania keep pushing the dates back

I've not seen anything. Sometimes it can take several weeks for all shops to have stock, even after an announced date.

Zen Micro Photo: PC doesn't detect dev

I just bought two Zen Micro Photos. On my PC, I downloaded the latest driver without installing any of the software that comes with the device. I plugged it into my PC, and it detected it immediately. No problems.
On my wife's PC, I downloaded the latest driver and installed all of the software. The PC will recognize that a USB 2.0 device has been plugged in, but it will not recognize it as an MP3 player. I have searched these forums and tried various suggestions (like pointing the New Hardware wizard to C:\Program Files\Creative\Jukebox 3 Drivers), but everything turns out the same: the PC cannot install the hardware.
I plugged her Micro into my PC and it works as expected.
When plugged in, her Micro does *not* show the docked screen.
Both PCs are Windows XP SP2.
Can anyone help?

Nevermind, I found where to figure that out. Looks like her PC doesn' t have SP2.
I'm downloading it now, and I'll be back if I run into any more issues.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Zen micro photo proble

ok so i've had my zen micro photo since last summer, which means that the creative lab crew wont help me since my purchase is over a year old. lame. well i had a minor 2 ft drop with my buddy, and it wont work. when i turn it on, it freezes on the "creative" screen. then when i get to the option window so i can attempt to clean it out, it wont work, i would like to say that it freezes also on all the options, but i cant really tell. those are i guess minor problems. i dont really know, but it also will occassionally make this odd "skipping" noise when i take the battery out and replace it so it will restart. this kid at Best Buy said that it has a small rotating disk on the inside and that it could of cracked or isnt on properly. but this is a drag. and you would think that i could just plug my baby into the computer with the USB cord,but now it wont even respond to the computer, or the computer wont recognize it. if you have any advice that would be swell.

i asked that same question because my zen micro broke no responded, but i did get a microphoto and have not had any problems yet.

Zen Micro Photo Problems- Please He

Hi all, I have enjoyed my zen micro photo for the past year with relati'vely little problem, but recently when i plug the zen in, it won't light up nor charge and seems like the computer didn't even know it's plugged in. Another serious problem is that if i do get it to charge, after i remove the zen from the computer, it won't turn back on! and it also keeps shutting down by itself if the heaven was merciful that day and the zen managed to turn on. Any solutions? Please help me!

what error message to you get, does the micro think its detected, is it charging and all that. that firmware will let the computer detect the player in the same way as your old one.
have u looked in device manager to see if its a problem device?
basic suggestion try to work out where the problem lies, test it on another usb cable, another usb port another computer. try and find out where the problem lies, then its easier to help.
regards olly
