Zen V Plus 2gb - Space prob

Hello guys,
Saturday I bought a Zen V Plus 2gb and I installed the software, loaded my Zen and tried to fill it with music.
But suddenly (by about 800mb ~ 80 songs) my Zen froze. I used the reset button and tried to fill it again. My 80 songs were still on it. But my computer didn't recognized it anymore. So I formated my Zen and I upgraded it with new firmware.
Then I filled it again - and it froze again at 800mb and my pc couldn't recognize it anymore, too.
I don't think that it is normal. What can I do? My Zen got 2gb free space but I only can use about 2/5 of it because it freezes. There is no notification like "The disc space is full", it just freezes and I have to format my Zen to use it again.
Without formating I can't fill it with my pc or with the pc of my father. So it can't be a problem of a computer. Even the record function doesn't work. Is my Zen damaged, or is it normal that I can use only 800mb of my 2gb Zen?!
I hope that someone could help me and I excuse me for my bad English :-)
Bye,
Lumpi

The st?8GB Zen V Plus I?bought also had this same problem. It would allow me to add?only about 7GB of music before it would freeze and even cleaning up the links from the recovery mode menu would cause a freeze. I called Creative and told them I had read that someone else in this message board?wrote about?the same problem - a "faulty" flash dri've. Creative said they hadn't heard about it and recommended that I return it to where I bought it from and simply replace it. That's what I did and my 2nd 8GB V Plus has been working great.

Problem with my brand new mp3 player Zen Stone Plus 2GB ( with built in speaker )

Hi .
I have purchased the following Zen Stone Plus 2GB with built in speaker on 24.06.2008.
From day one, it had a charging problem . Initial charging it'snever go beyond 87%.
After using it for 2 days, at the time of recharging , I found my player won`t get dectected in my PC .
I took the set to the vendor for a checkup . He tried to solve it by resetting , formating etc. But he could only able to to format it's sacrificing its 50% of its allocated space.
My vendor then changed the set with a brand new one, againts that faulty one .
Now the new one worked well for 3 - 4 days , but it is now totally dead .
But the set did not give any indication before it become completely dead.
A few dust particles inside the LCD screen was also observed. I can`t understand how come dust particles can enter inside
a player which is sealed box pack .
Next issue is with the battery which CREATIVE promised of giving a backup of approx 20 hrs of continious playback , which with minimal scuffling and with minimal settings lasted for 0 hrs approx ( 50% less than promised ).
Another thing that i must state is the problem of FM Reception . It is simply terrible . In the same area where my mobile's FM reception is fine , Zen Stone's FM failed to give any reception .
I came to know about Zen Stone Plus from of my friend , who is using Zen Stone Plus GB without any problem for long time.
Pls tell me what to do now, since my player is compleately out of order now , and pls suggest me something regarding the issue of battery backup , FM reception ... etc.
Now i am in a total mess . I just dont know what to do with the set that is few days old .
Pls help urgently .
Waiting for any valued suggestion .
Bye ...

Zen v plus 2GB free

<font face="Courier New" size="4" color="#ff3399">My zen v plus 2GB frooze. I reset it and when I turn it back on it freezes agin with in a couple of seconds. wut can i do 2 fix it's

This happened to me on my zen v plus 4GB.
I fixed it by resetting and then starting in recovery mode and choosing the "clean up" option. To do this, reset your zen through the pinhole. Then hold down the play button while turning the player on. When you see the creative logo on the screen, release the play button.
A recovery mode menu should then appear. Choose "clean up". That's what worked for me. "Clean up" doesn't delete anything from your player, but the format option will. Also, definitely don't choose "reload firmware" unless you have a copy of the firmware on your computer!
See:

Hope this helps!

Creative Zen Stone Plus 2GB vs. Zen V plus

Hi. I recently had my Zen Micro just freeze and die after 8 months. I lost ,600 songs. I am now interested in purchasing a flash mp3 for working out and commuting. I've heard good things aobut the Zen Stone Plus and the Zen V plus. Can anybody give me any adivice on deciding between the two? Thanks!

ZEN v plus FM adaptor prob

hello all, I have a zen v plus (obviously) and am very happy with it. it has more than enough memory for my uses and is ideal for me. Im not into the whys and wherefors of every detail of the thing as I only want to listen to music with it.
the one prob I have is that I got an FM adpaptor in order to play my music in the car, the adaptor was a chaep and cheerful thing which worked like a dream...for about 20 seconds before shutting down! this hapened repeatedly. I thought it must be dodgy and bought another make, only to find the same problem, it is my conclusion that the prob lies with the Zen and not the additional gear. has anyone else had this problem and if so, is there a remedy?
cheers

Which FM Adapter? I had one of the litttle belkin ones (the one that seems to get recommended alot here) and always had problems with it. It seems that to save power it "checks" to see if the unit was connected by monitoring the volume of the music comming into to it.
On my Zen Vision M the only way I could keep the belkin fm transmitter? from going to sleep was to max the volume on the Zen Vision M.
Off course doing that eats battery life and also is a little hard on the ears when you forget to reset the volume after unplugging the fm transmitter and plugging in some headphones. So first suggestion would be try turning the volume all the way up on the Zen V plus and see if that keeps the FM transmitter on. I have a feeling the auto sleep function of the FM transmitter is what is causing the problem.

Zen stone plus 2gb god **bleep** error

ok i have the 2gb zen stone plus and my problem is it's a.not being recognised by my computer b. it does nothing to play music store files etc c.when it's chargd i turn it on but all i get is the creative logo and nothing else but the small blue light that is supposed to flash on and of stays on fully instead of flashing on and off. does anyone have any ideas to resolve this problem? preferably knowing how to format my player.

So the player will not turn on correctly at all? Have you tried it on another PC to see if it's recognised there, and so you could format it and/or update the firmware. Has the player been working correctly until now, or did you just purchase it's

BIG problem with zen v plus 2gb mp3 player HE

i just brought my zen v plus today for 83 gbp i was scrolling through the radio channels and it decides to freeze on me i cant take it back because it was at abu dhabi airport any know how to sort the problem out? contact me on +44792328937 or post on here. thankyou

Hey. Have you tried resetting the player. Under the power switch, there is a tiny hole. Use a pin or paperclip to gently push in. The player should turn off, and rebuild its library when turned on again. You should also upgrade your firmware, available here. Just click on support, and go to downloads.

Zen Stone Plus 2GB -- Unresponsive

I have had my Stone for a couple months now, and just recently it has been giving me problems. On Friday I was using it in the car and turned it off while stopping in a store. When I returned and tried to play it, the Creative symbol came on, followed by the Zen Plus screen and then went blank. I then thought that it just needed a charge and brought it home. After leaving it in my computer for a day, I took it out and found it was still doing the same thing. I tried charging it again but that didnt work either. When it was plugged into my computer it showed a full 3 bars, followed by a lightning bolt. The next time I tried, I found that not only has it become unresponsi've (no lights, or screens), the computer is not recognizing it.
I hope this does not mean the end for my MP3, because I have enjoyed it up to this point. Thanks.

Hi,
Try attaching the player to the computer. While it is connected use a paperclick (or straightened staple) to click the reset switch.
Hope this hel
ps.

Zen V Plus 2GB Frozen screen FIXED!

My Zen would freeze once in awhile, usually if I downloaded long audio books at 45+ minute per "song."
Well, all of a sudden it just froze. For good. The power button did nothing, resetting with a pin did nothing. Combinations of the two did nothing.
Then it would only power on if plugged into a computer with a USB cord. Still the same. It would reboot with the Creative screen (only once did it remain on it), flick to a battery low icon for a milisecond, and then move on to rebuilding the library, and then go to the previously stuck screen showing one of the "long" songs.
Then it would not come on at all unless I left it plugged in for hour or so. The blue light under the buttons wouild flicker fast and eventually flicker slower and longer until it just turned on by itself. It seems like it needed to be charged enough to work, but if I played with it, it needed to build up a charge strong enough to start.
I tried different usb cords, different usb ports, different computers. I tried going into the My Devices settings and on a Vista I uninstalled it, reinstalled, updated driver; and on an XP I downloaded the MLT whatever that communicates with it...and still nothing.
I tried combinations of holding in the play/pause button, pressing power button down, and resetting with a pin....nothing. (all suggested by Creative Labs)
I tried software such as the MP3 Recovery Tool, the Zen organizer and they all could not connect or "see" the Zen.
I ran across a comment somewhere that said there was a Windows Media problem of some sort but what caught my eye was the reference to the original Zen cd.
The cd had no "tool" section but I reinstalled everything except it wouldn't reinstall the MW 0 because I had a newer version. Then while still fiddling with the Zen, it all of a sudden said it was docked, aka "connected."
I started to run the recovery tool and could see it finally under My Devices (thought I didn't touch it).
Finally, I could press play upon restart and get the service menu screen. I cleaned it, reformatted it, and deleted the firmware.
The recovery tool updated everything and now it is back to normal.
My original playlists and music were deleted on the Zen but my computer still had the original so it is synching it right now.
Yes!

Zen V / Zen V Plus headphone jack prob

I want to get one of these but first I want to know if this new player has the headphone jack problem seen on previous Zen players.
Any troubles so far?
nm

Its been out a while, and no problems yet. The only models that have a headphone jack problem are the old (G: with the "back" for the back button) zen micros. No other player have had serious problems since.
Enjoy your player when you get it!

Zen V Plus 2GB Won't Connect

For about a year now my Zen V has been stuck on the logo screen everytime I attempt to turn it on. Since the Circuit City went out where I got it and there was no other ones to go to I was SOL to get it replaced. Now that I read up on things to do such as update its' firmware and what not it still leaves me with the same problem that my computer still won't show it's connected any USB Port I put it into. I've tried almost all ways to figure out how to show it's connected. Also just recently I again tried to turn it on and the only times it turns on now is when I plug it using the USB into the PC and when I take it out I can't turn it on using the power thing so if there's any solutions here I would love an answer to this.

Hi,
Here's the link that you could try to submit the issue in our Support.
Best of luck.

I need opinions on the Zen V Plus 2GB MP3 Video Pla

Im thinking about getting one for my birthday. Any opinons?

Bacon, You should read some of the posts about connectivity issues before you invest in this. I'm having a huge problem that seeminly can't be solved, and if you start looking through forum posts over the last week you'll see A LOT of people are having the same problem. In my case, the Zen worked great for about 6 weeks; then, all of a sudden, halfway through ripping a CD the software stopped recognizing the player. The player says it's docked; the computer says the players connected, but the software to run the thing says it's NOT connected, although it clearly is. I've tried everything under the sun; I tried the advice listed on this website; I tried the advice of the technicians at Creative; nothing works, and I'm taking my player back to the store today after work. I really liked it for the first six weeks I had it, but now it's useless and I'm not alone in that. Just read the forums.....there are a lot of us having this same problem.
