  • Stone plus (with built-in speaker) can't connect to pc

    6stone plus (with built-in speaker) can't connect to pcm hi, my creative stone plus with in built speaker got a problem, when I connect it to the pc it starts charging, but it isn't recognized in "my computer" ( my OS is windows xp), so I'm not able to access the storage memory of the mp3.

  • 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.

  • ZEN Stone Plus With Speaker - How to enhance FM Radio Recepti

    I could not receive many FM radio stations that I did with other radios.
    Is there any way to enhance the reception of the built-in radio? Would replacing the earphone that comes with the mp3 player help? Thanks.

    This is Creative's reply to my question:
    "As regards to your enquiry, I would like to inform you that the reason
    of why these 2 frequencies reception are low is because the signal
    strength coming from the transmitting station are weak, especially so
    for FM9.3 as it's often in mono.
    One way to overcome this is to purchase a good and longer earphone as
    the wire itself act as the antenna for FM reception. Allows the full
    cable length run rather than twirl/coil them up.
    Appended is an article on FM RADIO RECEPTION at Mediacorp website: http://www.mediacorpradio.com/ts/reception/"
    I tried again in the open space instead of in my?house but still could not receive many channels. Quite disappointed as I chose?this over Ipod?because of this feature. Let me know if you can get a refund.

  • Creative Zen Stone Plus with speaker FirmWare editi

    Hi, I recently bought a Zen Stone, I'm happy with this purchase, but there are a few things that I didn't like, little things like, not showing current song number in folder, or not showing ID3 artist tag.
    And I was wondering if maybe Zen firmware is open source, and it's freely alowed for user to edit it.
    Have a nice day.

    There is a chap on here by the name of Daniel_K who re-writes Soundblaster drivers, not sure if he does anything for players though!!! Check out the lastest Reg post about him on this linky http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04..._driver_links/
    Not sure if endorsed by Creative or Daniel_K though, so stand by for flaming!!! :P
    Peace, Unity, Blah JailBreak

  • Lame Foldernavigation with Zen Stone plus with spea

    I purchased the 4GB Model because i hear a lot of Audiobooks. Those are organised in folders. I downloaded the manual / help file before purchasing and was quite happy that the Zen support folders. Now im disappointed the way the Zen Stone handles them. I added some other shortcomings and suggestions of improvement too.
    Its not possible to navigate into/out of a folder. Instead you see every folder regardless of it'ss hierachy level. Although the player "supports" up to 4 hierachy levels. This is really disturbing. I want to use those leves to organize my files and to increase overview. Its not possible! So it makes no sense to organize your files as Zen does not show the structure.
    So i have to scroll through hundreds of folder. What increases problems is that you cant do that fast. Every time i go to the next folder Zen starts playing this folder. This is not only annoying but takes about 3 sec of time. It gets a little faster if dont hold the button but than you have to press the button so many times.
    Great you can turn the display bei 80 degrees. Even greater would be to do that in 90?s ste
    ps.
    I like to use headphones which also work as a strap so hanging around my neck i can't read the display properly. Due to it'ss round shape it would make even more sens to make this possible. You can even think about making the 4 buttons displayrelevant. (There function rotates with the direction of the display.) The display is big enough to display some tiny icons like the play triangel or a + and - sign. Then you would have softbuttons which can even become other functions you can see directly.
    Its good the display turns off after a while to preserve energy. But i dont like to press buttons then different/more. Now after max. 30 sec it turns off. The next press turns it on again and only after this it'ss reacting normally on pressing buttons.
    Im kind of used to press the center button for play / stop. Not only the ipod shuffle but many, many (soft)players work exactly the same way. So im kind of confused to press the tiny double button on the headphone side which is barely reachable particulary if you use the silicon cover. I know, i can press the center button twice but after 30 sec i have to press it three times! Just to pause the playback. This can't be!! Imagine how often you have to pause the playback and how often you change settings etc. I really think the functions of those buttons should be exchanged.
    The speed of rewind, forwarding should increase over the time you hold those buttons. Now its about 0 sec. which is not enough. This is particulary useful for audiobooks.
    If you switch to/playback another file via Directory search Zen should memorize the songposition of the last song. (Bookmark-function) This is also particulary useful for audiobooks.<
    I have a suggestion to solve problem and 2:
    No folder starts playing just by selecting.
    The folder view is recognzied.
    If a folder contains songs (not only other folders) those are shown and can be selected/played.
    Its visible by an icon or an different font if folder are empty or contain other folders.
    With the +,- buttons you go to the next, previous folder / song. This goes as fast as you press. Holding those buttons starts scroll/selecting which increases speed by the time of holding.
    The I<< and >>I - Buttons expands/collapses folder.
    Holding those buttons for longer collaps / expands all folders.
    The Center Buttons plays the folder / song and returns to the playback view.
    Lots of ideas. I hope someone appreciate them and maybe some of them can wind up in an firmware update someday. That would be awesome.
    Nevertheless i love my zen.

  • Screen of Zen Stone Plus with pixel problem

    How can I do? I'm out of warranty. I have reset, format and reinstalled firmware yet.
    Is this an hardware problem?

    Hi,
    Sorry but I am unable to see the picture. I guess you probably might want to contact a third-party vendor or someone knowledgable in electronics to help you repair/replace the screen.

  • Queries about Zen Stone Plus 2GB with built in speaker .

    Hi ,
    This one goes out to all friends who have?used Zen Stone Plus with built in speaker for some time ...
    As stated in the box pack of giving a standby time of 20hrs continious playback ...
    What is the approx backup time it offers or rather it should offer on minimal scuffling and minimum change of settings of the player?
    Reply soon .
    Byeee .

    I haven't tested it off yet as I always charge it after one bar of the battery indicator has gone. But thought I try to use it'suntil it's completely flat this time. After listening to 4. albums and minimal playing in the menu the battery indicator still says full.

  • Zen stone plus no longer wo

    Hello all! I've been very happy with my Zen Stone Plus (2GB) until suddenly it doesn't work. It seems to charge ok but turning it on, the "CREATIVE" starting logo just stays on the screen forever (until the battery runs out I presume). When connected by USB, if I double click on the player's icon in My Computer the explorer window crashes.
    My first thought was to update the firmware (I've never done this before) but on the creative website I cannot see my exact product supported (closest matches are Zen Stone Plus with built-in speaker and Zen Stone Plus (4GB)).
    What should I do? Thanks for your time.

    At the?BOTTOM of the page where you found the other Zen Stone products, it will say something such as click here, if your product or player isn't shown. That will take you to the page you need.
    When you are on the correct page be sure to click at the bottom of that page to show the entire list of firmwares and software available. Creative is very good at hiding things and you have to read carefully. Skimming the pages while reading?doesn't work to your advantage

  • Battery Replacement Zen Stone Plus

    Li-Poly batteries last approximately 3 years after manufacturing (charged or not). So if your Zen Stone ceases to function and it has not been abused, it'ss likely a dead ? no longer can be charged - battery.
    I purchased a battery (actually 3 to meet their $ minimum) from allbattery.com? Polymer Li-Ion Battery 3.7V 240mAh. Order it with NO PCB option. $3.99 each plus shipping. After they arri'ved, I note the brand name is ?Tenergy. Original battery specs from Creative are 280mAh, a nominal difference. Specifications I didn?t have were charging requirements, but I?m happy to report they recharge seemingly identical from the Creative OEM batteries.
    <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0[/img]<tr><td>This battery replacement takes some skill and is, obviously at your own risk. Suggest examining ribbon cable prior to ordering batteries. My unit is a Zen Stone Plus with Speaker.
    </td></tr></table>?
    BATTERY REPLACEMENT:
    Run Exacto knife or small utility knife around sides and end NOT including end opposite display (or you will cut through a ribbon cable) penetrating no more than 0.075 (/6th inch) to split case of Zen Stone. It may be necessary to insert small jeweler?s screwdriver directly at corners to gently pry, releasing positioning studs. If you?re lucky, you won?t break off studs, but if you do, don?t worry they are mostly for alignment purposes.
    Lift off control pad (volume up down, fast forward, reverse, center select button) Remove two Phillips screws holding pc board to bottom case and lift edge of pc board with small screwdriver under USB port.
    Hinge pc board up with headphone jack on top and lift up battery with screwdriver.
    Examine ribbon cable, which is folded around control board and sandwiched between control board and pc mother board. If cable is torn (or cut) you?ll probably have to throw Zen Stone in trash as this cable may be impossible to repair.
    Remove white tape from top of battery and unsolder + and ? connectors
    Tint ribbon cables with solder (I used a little solder paste to get solder to stick), the solder in wires, paying attention to + and ? terminals. Be very careful not to touch the ribbon cables together or solder on a metal surface.
    Cut a piece of electrician tape and wrap around ribbon cables and soldering joints.
    You can test your Zen Stone prior to assembly.
    Reassemble in reverse order using a pin, tooth pick or small paper clip and clear silicone caulk around edges. Wrap elastics around unit holding upper and lower case together while caulk dries.

  • Zen Stone Plus S... SLOW-FF speeds...ANYO

    I owned a Creative Labs Zen Nano Plus, before my dog used it as a chew toy. I then purchased a Creative Labs Zen Stone Plus S (2GB with speaker), which I love. I clip it in my hardhat at work and listen with the speaker. My old Nano would FF through a 5 hour long mp3 in a couple of minutes. I record the Howard Stern show from a Sirius Satellite Radio Online Subscription and put it on my CL Stone Plus S.
    Anyway if I bump the settings and have to go back to the halfway point, it takes FOREVER to FF. The FastForward feature is soooo slow. Is there a fimware update or setting to increase the speed? It dri'ves me absolutely crazy. To get to the third hour of a fi've hour mp3 it takes 45 minutes. Does anyone have any ideas or info?
    Thanks, Mrwirez

    ) I have a similar yet slightly different problem: on my zen stone plus (with speaker) I can rewind, but when I FF the behaviour is actually the same as if I were pressing the rewind :smileysurprised: Anyone have the same problem? This is really bad for long files, like podcasts and also when I update the player (i.e. adding and removing files) which 'forgets' the previous playstate.

  • Zen Stone Plus FF and Rewind problems

    I have a Zen Stone Plus and I upgraded to the new softeware and firmware. I can not use my fast foward or reverse button. It's like I didn't even press them. They don't go foward or back so as I am listening to a book, if I missed something I can scroll back. The up button makes the speaker louder and the down button makes the speaker lower but there is no FF or rewind.Can I have this fixed? Does anyone have a solution?
