Zen micro radio without wi

<SPAN>I read that radio in Zen micro needs to use headphone wire to catch waves!
<SPAN>
<SPAN>And my question:
<SPAN>What if I buy wireless headphones like ?Logitech Wireless Headphones for MP3. which connects by Bluetooth? Will the radio work? :smileyvery-happy:
<SPAN>

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 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 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..

    Thanks

  • 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?
    Blade

    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....

  • Zen micro skin without belt c

    I've searched, but haven't been able to find any. Are there any zen micro skins that don't have a belt clip? I want one that is just flat on the back.

    You may want to get it from http://tangochocolat.com/index.php?cPath=3_0. They only supply to resellers so previously i had to combine orders with my friends.

  • Zen micro - Calendar without Outl

    Has anyone found a fix or workaround to this?
    I got the Micro as a present and I'm very happy with it, except for the calendar part; there's no real reason for it to be 00% Outlook-dependant...

    I don't know the internal mechanics of the data transfer between Outlook and the Zen but, if what the Zen receives is a vCal/iCal file, then it shouldn't be hard to write a plugin or TPS to sync the Zen with other planners, or with a calendar file directly.
    It would be better, though, if such a feature came directly from Creative.
    Sorry if this sounds a bit like a rant, but I just hate when features only work if you combine them with a specific program on a specific OS. There are interchange formats for a reason, dammit! Use them!

  • Help with my Bran-New Creative Zen Micro Photo. [Questi

    <EM>If you don't want to see the backing of my whole story skip to the bold print at the bottom!</EM>I also want you to know I read the FAQs and searched through some topics like this, but haven't found any asking my question.First of all, I'm new to the forum, but I've been researching Creative's Zen for a long time now. I kept observing each one closely before I purchased a product. I then saw the Zen Micro Photo come out. This one won my attention. I loved this, I quickly searched for reviews and went for the buy for Christmas. I told my dad about it and he was "iffy" on the price, but it was better then the iPod in my opinion.Christmas day came and I opened it. Right away I checked everything out I knew a lot about the menu already and all, but not really how to control it. I checked to make sure everything worked. All systems were go. After listening to the defaults (which I loved) I went to go install the software. I already had Media Player 0 and Adobe, oh and I didn't want the freakin AOL toolbar! Lol, so I installed everything else. It took forever, but I hooked it up and I installed the drivers, but as soon as I plug in the USB connector I see: "A HIGH-SPEED USB device has been plugged into a LOW SPEED USB port.After that, I switched USB ports, btu I got same message. I hit the X and then tried to charge. I got the Lightening Bolt, but no dimming of lights. I found out that this computer is not letting me install any service packs, I'm confused about that.My question:Is there anyway I can charge this mp3 player and download music onto my Zen Micro Photo without Service Pack ? Or did I just pay $250 for a really cool glowing mp3 player to be used as a paperweight? (I love this Zen and I ran the battery dead hoping that would make the charging easier).Help?
    My Specifications:
    My Mp3 Player: Zen Micro Photo (Black)What I tried: Switching USB ports and re-installing Service Pack Software: Not sure how to determine firmware without installing something. I'm on a XP Professional and I'm using the Creative Media Source and Creative Media Toolbox

    Thank you DM for responding. I am expecting problems, but it still won't allow me to charge the Zen Micro Photo or even use the Creative Media Source. I can't upload any songs or any contacts on it. I haven't uploaded anything yet, but it's not reading the USB device. When I run Creative Zen Micro Photo Media Explorer I get this message at the top of the screen: "The device is not connected. Please connect your Zen MicroPhoto to the computer. I can't organize anything or add songs... so it just makes all the programs I downloaded useless and my Creative product unusuable.ONe thing it does do though... whenever I plug in my Zen MIcroPhoto to the USB it turns it on and glows, but only shows my battery at the top with one red line and the green lightening bolt filling the battery up.After leaving it like this for two hours the green moves, but the red bar stays the same size.

  • Zen Micro FM Improvemen

    Hi
    I have just recently got my Micro (updated with the latest firmware)
    and its great!!!
    The only feature I have a few small problems with is the FM radio,
    I am in the UK, and the reception is not brilliant.
    In all the portable radio devices I hav owned in the past, manually switching
    the reception mode to Mono on Stereo stations, improved reception.
    The Zen Micro radio, automatically sets the reception mode for a station, and you cant manually switch a stereo station to mono reception (at least, I don't seem to be able to)
    Do you think a possible firmware upgrade would make it possible to do that, and save the desired setting with the preset? Something like choosing the mode between MONO/STEREO/AUTO
    Apart from that, everything is excellent!
    well done creative!
    Dave

    i have the same problem the reception of the FM its very fuzzy a MONO/STEREO switcher could be a good solution..

  • How long has your Zen Micro been in working conditi

    Just another question... how long have you guys had your Zen Micro's without problems, or without any disfunctioning (dont think thi is the right word but w.e) problems. I am hearing all of these bad things about the Micro and i've only had it for week, im worried about my Micro's fate.

    don't worry about it. your micro will do just fine. Mines has been workin' flawlessly since i got it 5 months ago.
    You have to remember, these forums are like an emergence room for mp3 players. All you will hear here is negati've stuff.

  • ZEN MICRO - White Scren and impossible to run Recovery M

    Hi,
    I wrote to Creative support but not received any info to be able to fix the problem with my device.
    It seems that it works connected to the PC. I am able to read the files.
    BUT
    The screen is 3 seconds white, without any written and then go off immediately.
    I tried to run the Recovery mode as suggested and also I have upgrated the firmware.
    NO CHANCE....
    What's happend?
    What I have to do?
    Do _I have to repair ir? IS It broken?
    thanks!

    I'm experiencing the same confusion myself.
    My Micro came with .02.05 f/w installed. It's not the firmware itself that is confusing; it's the accompanying software. After using it for a few days I decided that I want to continue using it without MTP, so I set out to upgrade to the ..0 f/w. Here's what I find on the Creative support site:
    * I selected "Step by Step Zen Micro Firmware Upgrade Guide"
    * Next I selected "Zen Micro Upgrade Application Guide" and "Windows XP"
    * Here I selected "No" for Would you like to use on-line music subscription services?"
    * Now the conflicting direction. The next page, which is for NO music subscriptions, says I need the following software:
    Latest Creative Application Package
    Zen Micro Media Explorer for Creative Zen Micro without PlaysForSure functionality
    This software update package is for Zen Micro Media Explorer (version 4.00.3 or earlier) users only. This package contains the following updated applications:
    * Zen Micro Media Explorer (version 4.00.8)
    * Sync Manager (version 4.00.5)
    * Jukebox Type II Plugin (version 2.00.07)
    Zen Micro Media Explorer 4.00.8 for Creative Zen Micro (Software Update Package for Zen Micro Players without *PlaysForSure/MTP Firmware)
    ZENM-WBPDE--LB.
    * However clicking on the above link brings me to a download page which says this:
    Filename: ZENM_PCAPP_LB_MTP_PDE.exe
    Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update
    ZENM-WEBUP--LB
    This web update enables you to enjoy new and improved features for your Zen Micro player.
    This web update package includes the following applications:
    * Zen Micro Media Explorer (version 4.00.27)
    * Zen Micro Media Explorer (PlaysForSure?) (version .00.2)
    * Sync Manager (version 4.60.0)
    * Import Wizard (version .60.2)
    * CD Ripping Wizard (version .60.09)
    Note the difference in version numbers? Which do I really need for Micro firmware ..0? (BTW, this board s/w is terrible - why no BBCode?).
    Thanks for any help here.

  • FYI: Replacement Z Micro - Radio seems FAR bet

    Just a quick post to tell anyone who is having problems with their radio that the problem might not be generic to the Zen Micro. I sent mine back mainly because of of a faulty headphone jack. However i did tell customer support that my radio had awful coverage. i had told friends that the zen micro radio was crap and not to buy it if they were expecting a 'working' radio BUT i just took deli'very today of my new zen micro and the radio seems WAY better. so just a bit of advice, if you think your radio is not up to scratch, test out a friends radio on their Zen Micro if possible and see if it just your radio that is crap. if so creative should sort it for you.
    p.s. Cat, if your reading this could you tell me if you managed to find out about the Zen Micro speakers. thanks (i had mentioned in another tread seeing a picture of lime green speakers with a lime green zen micro and you said you would get back to me about a time frame for their release)

    ERROR IWTH REVIEW:
    You mentioned that you cannot tune the radio for youself. You can do so however. Just go to the FM Radio and press the play/pause button. The 'Preset
    ?' thing will dissappear and then you can just tap the |<< and >>| buttons until you reach the disired frequency

  • Zen Micro: USB Recharge w/o software install

    Hi friends,
    today I had the problem that I'd like to recharge my zen micro (.02.xx firmware) on an usb port of a computer, where the Creative software and drivers were not installed. It just didn't work. The Zen pretended to recharge, but after several hours the battery symbol still was empty, and when switching it on, it immediately complained about low battery and went off again. It was plugged into a powered hub, 500 mA per port. Any ideas whether the installation of the driver relates to the charging behaviour?
    regards
    Matthias

    Matthiasr,
    If the drivers on the system are not installed, the player will probably not charge very quickly. The drivers for the Zen Micro help to define the power level for the USB port (the amount of USB power allocated to the Zen Micro) and without the driver installed (or the MTP firmware being used with an MTP compatible computer) the proper amount may not be allocated (leading to very long charge times). Another way around this would be to shut the system down and connect the player then, the USB ports should still receive power. Without the system running it should receive a full allocation that should charge it.
