Comments for Issues with Zune 30 v2 Battery Life? at http://www.zune-online.com , comment 0 to 17 out of 17 comments http://www.zune-online.com Fri, 25 Jul 2008 11:58:33 +0200 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.zune-online.com/news/zune/issues-with-zune-30-v2-battery-life.html#pc_1153 It was connected to my computer, charging, and I was listening to music at the same time. Then all of a sudden it just completly shut down and now I get nothing. How do i get it to turn on once again? or should i just trade it in for a new one? >:( - Dustin Sun, 27 Apr 2008 22:55:25 +0200 http://www.zune-online.com/news/zune/issues-with-zune-30-v2-battery-life.html#pc_1151 >:( This is exactly what's been happening with my Zune since the firmware update. (Also, the Zune keeps freezing during playback or skipping through parts of songs. The latter, I think, is a software issue, though.) I'm definitely pissed by this problem. I paid over $200 for my Zune. 14 hours of battery life were promised; 14 hours were what I expect. I called Zune Support a couple times about this issue, only to be told that I should use a USB port on the back of my laptop, rather than a side one. Yeah, . . . and, I'll also jiggle the handle on a running toilet while I'm at it. Problem solved. Thanks for the advice. I'm wondering whether I should claim my warranty and send the thing in for Microsoft (or, whoever) to look at. - Matthew Thu, 24 Apr 2008 16:01:50 +0200 http://www.zune-online.com/news/zune/issues-with-zune-30-v2-battery-life.html#pc_1150 Yeaaaahhh for as much as I dislike apple, I may also make the jump as well. Zune's great an all, but there's just too much errors and low battery--by that I mean ipods get like 9 hrs, and can go 3 or 4 days without a charge...all in all I'm saying is that maybe in the future when Zunes are much better I'll get one again. Until then I guess I'm getting an Itouch. - Zhemas Wed, 23 Apr 2008 18:15:37 +0200 http://www.zune-online.com/news/zune/issues-with-zune-30-v2-battery-life.html#pc_1130 Please i need serious help i may be out of topic but i need help, i have two zunes, the 80 gb works great but i just got the 4 for sister and the computer doesn´t detect the device and it shows the default zune video while it is charging, by the way the 4 gb zune is brand new, it only has the default songs and videos that are downloead when i first plugged the zune to the computer, - luismdoz Fri, 04 Apr 2008 02:51:50 +0200 http://www.zune-online.com/news/zune/issues-with-zune-30-v2-battery-life.html#pc_1090 my 30 gig just gave me the BSoD a few days ago. i reset it and it was fine. i came to work today, the batt was dead, so i plaugged it in and went off to do some things. came back and played aroud with it a bit and then gve me the BSoD again. i went to reset it and now it's giving me the "connect Zune to PC" message and seems i'm about to loose all the info on it and it's going to re-format it. =\ im not very happy about this. i just hope this solved the problem. - HaloZ Sun, 24 Feb 2008 05:06:21 +0200 http://www.zune-online.com/news/zune/issues-with-zune-30-v2-battery-life.html#pc_1061 Not sure if the reset thing works to completely fix this issue; I let my battery drain and then recharded it. I then reset my Zune, and recharged for another 15 minutes. It worked well for 2 days. After two days, I had the same old problems again. Not sure if it is my battery due to the fact that I had NO issues at all prior to the software/firmware "upgrade". When a product works great for the first 6 months I have it, and then is "crap" after the upgrade...I have gotten very frustrated..... What is the use in owning a Zune when you never know when you will be able to listen to it. I hope Microsoft is aware of the issue and addresses this soon. They may lose a lot of Zune customers to the Ipod. >:( - Seattleron Tue, 05 Feb 2008 16:54:40 +0200 http://www.zune-online.com/news/zune/issues-with-zune-30-v2-battery-life.html#pc_957 I just tried this today and it worked for me, Just be sure that after you reset it let it charge for about 15 more minutes - Embryonic Tue, 18 Dec 2007 23:30:34 +0200 http://www.zune-online.com/news/zune/issues-with-zune-30-v2-battery-life.html#pc_955 I have the same problem with my Zue I jus reseted it so hoply it will work.....microsoft always have flaws jus look at the Xox360...... - KHALID Tue, 18 Dec 2007 03:20:18 +0200 http://www.zune-online.com/news/zune/issues-with-zune-30-v2-battery-life.html#pc_932 having the same problem and i pissed i call tec support twice now and they told me to reset it that did not work - Chris Holschuh Sat, 08 Dec 2007 09:46:34 +0200 http://www.zune-online.com/news/zune/issues-with-zune-30-v2-battery-life.html#pc_905 I had the same problem with mines , i had a black screen , the zune was on i could hear the hard drive running and it felt hot, believe me i was really pissed of , mad about it , i just put it away checked on it later , the power had ran out so i just recharged the battery, and it came back to life , i had this happen maybe 4 times already , im thinking its a bad thing , but i can deal with it if i can hear my music and see my movies ... ;D - victor Sat, 01 Dec 2007 02:35:07 +0200 http://www.zune-online.com/news/zune/issues-with-zune-30-v2-battery-life.html#pc_901 @ desertpenquin : The artwork problem you describe has to do with metadata. Check here how to fix it: http://www.zune-online.com/news/zune/fix-the-metadata-mess-after-v2-updating.html About the conversion speed its enough fast on my computer... I have no idea why it takes so long for you. - Kostas Fri, 30 Nov 2007 20:22:39 +0200 http://www.zune-online.com/news/zune/issues-with-zune-30-v2-battery-life.html#pc_899 I have had this thing less than 24 hours. The battery is having the issue discussed above. The cover artwork in my collection is all screwed up. Well, unless 2Pac really did 'Come on Eileen'. The encoding process takes forever for video podcasts. Why dont they have the desktop software do this when it downloads the show? I really think that I made a mistake buying this thing. - desertpenquin Fri, 30 Nov 2007 18:24:39 +0200 http://www.zune-online.com/news/zune/issues-with-zune-30-v2-battery-life.html#pc_898 randall, i'm sorry for your loss...if you can't cope with the feeling of having a dead body lying around, you can send it to me... ;D G'luck. - kodee Fri, 30 Nov 2007 17:03:23 +0200 http://www.zune-online.com/news/zune/issues-with-zune-30-v2-battery-life.html#pc_890 When I updated the Zune 30 mine went out once but since I have a car charger and I keep it plugging into a pc it never drained completely. Now my Zune 80 on the other hand has not responded since yesterday afternoon. There is no battery indication or nothing. Just a black screen. I didn't want to come to work today because I feel like I just lost my best friend.... :( - Randall Thu, 29 Nov 2007 16:18:22 +0200 http://www.zune-online.com/news/zune/issues-with-zune-30-v2-battery-life.html#pc_889 my battery actually last's longer now than it did with the v1 firmware. i listen to it for 3-4 hours and only a little part of the battery sybol goes down. sux for the rest of ya i guess - kodee Thu, 29 Nov 2007 16:02:05 +0200 http://www.zune-online.com/news/zune/issues-with-zune-30-v2-battery-life.html#pc_887 @ Chris: It is just a reboot, like on computers. You won't lose anything. - Kostas Wed, 28 Nov 2007 22:35:33 +0200 http://www.zune-online.com/news/zune/issues-with-zune-30-v2-battery-life.html#pc_886 Does this delete anything off the device or is this a "soft reset" kind of thing? - Chris Taylor Jr Wed, 28 Nov 2007 22:33:08 +0200
