Sansa Fuze freezes

Hello.

I have a 2 GB rocket with a 8 GB memory card. As soon as I got it, the audio would be cut on some titles when the backlight turns off. All my music is on the SD card.

Recently, I downloaded a version of the 01.02.31P firmware update. The problem seemed to disappear on these specific tracks, but since then the "rocket" freezes when I am browsing albums or songs and shows a blackscreen. This happens every time I

keep the power button pressed for about 20 seconds and it's the only way to get the drive out of the gel.

I need to restart it then and every time it starts up, it makes the thing "refreshing your media" which lasts about 20 minutes, and then the whole while browsing the freezing process happens again...

OK problem solved.

I read somewhere that the album art files can cause these gels. I just deleted all the art I've had in each album, formatted the SD using Vista and downloaded again all the music. works perfect now, but somehow, it always shows the cover of the album next to his name.

  • Freezing Sansa Fuze problem

    I have a 4 GB Sansa Fuze with the latest firmware and after about 6 months, he started to have this problem of gel. I don't know what happened exactly, but I unplugged it from my PC once, and when he went to 'Media refreshing' just of freezes and does not load. And now, when I plug it into my PC, it freezes on the screen that says 'Written' and hangs whenever I log on my user account. I believe that this is due to a damaged file from when I had a virus problem, however, because when it connects to my PC, it won't let me format.

    Thanks for the suggestions guys, but I could get my rocket using my Xbox 360 work. That's what I did:

    (1) I have connected to the USB cable from the "rocket" and then connected it to the USB for 360.

    (2) I went to my Xbox, the Control Panel, memory

    (3) I clicked the USB storage device and you click on configure to 360 (to 256 MB)

    The Xbox managed to erase all data, including files that never seemed to corrupt, and got, it works again. You may want to format again when you use your PC, or install a new firmware, because the device has been configured for Windows use after you configure it the 360

  • "Sansa Fuze v2 freezes on ' update your media.

    I had this problem since I got it earlier this year.  I tried to solve this problem in many ways.

    First I thought it was a problem to do with the tags which many of you have told me, but after having systematically organize every single audio track, remove all comments, artist information, album art, composer and using mp3val error check each audio track the problem still remains.  The only information on each track are kind, year, song title, artist, album name and track number (this I did on Mp3tag and saved ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1).

    The sansa fuze that I is a model of v2 4 GB with a MicroSD of Kingston 16 GB card.   Honestly I am so sick of having to choose who I want to because music the largest number of songs I had on it without it freezing songs s 560 - I would add that most are mp3, some are in flac.  It's less than 6 GB on the 20 GB I have available which is ridiculous because the point all I got a rocket was so that I could increase its capacity without having to buy expensive media players

    I have tried updating to the latest firmware but back to 1.02.26 because the problem remains to be 1.02.31.

    Good because it will probably be easier to read and make more sense if I just list this information (instead of try to structure some sort of coherence).

    D ' other information that may be useful, it's that I have no video, no photos.

    -The problem seems to occur after a threshold of the number of songs I have.  For example, when I transfer an album more and it freezes / hangs on the screen "refreshing your media", I have to force it to shut down by pressing the power switch.  Most of you might be thinking that it is again with the offending audio tracks (bad tags etc), however I found that if I remove some albums and try put on the same album, it will be no problem to do.  Only after reaching a certain number (?) of songs that seems to happen.  I'm not going to say as a fact that I'm not 100% sure of that.

    -After the screen "refreshing your media" frozen that I have to go back and remove all of the albums, I added which causes the problem.  This might appear as normal except there is no audio data files just an empty folder with the name of the album.

    -All titles scanned with mp3val as having 'problems', I removed permanently of the device.

    -All the music is transferred in MSC mode - drag and drop

    -It never freezes if I transfer audio files to the internal memory.  For example, the album which causes the freeze/hang up can be placed on the internal memory of sansa fuze - no problem

    For the love of all things good someone can you please help me solve this problem, I'm sure this can be fixed.

    I will update that I can't imagine all the things I've done

    Thank you


  • Sansa Fuze 4 G v.2.02.28a wrong with gel, formatted and reinstalled the firmware

    My sansa fuze has been freezing since update firmware a couple of months.  Sometimes he would set himself, when I rebooted, but it gets progressively worse.

    Today it froze to the homescreen as usual, but I could not turn on after I restarted several times, after many trials, I could connect to my pc without the "rocket" freezing at the login screen. I decided to format it through my pc and I also reformatted it on the player as well. I have not reformatted it since adapting if I was trying to avoid having my deleted files. Meanwhile, I looked in the forums to apply solutions that have worked for others in the same situation.

    Here are some of my problems I think to make this kind of odd. Windows tells me is no longer a memory, internal and external, it reads the interns as F: drive and the external slot as drive G:

    Also, I have a napster to Go account that I use for a year now synchronized with this player and he wrote the unit (the "rocket") is not compatible, and I tried the update of napster to see if that was the problem, but napster has been giving me trouble since the new update with the firmware of the rocket. However, now I am not able to re - download my music files without paying the full price for one without a subscription.

    I think that the problem comes from the "rocket" as opposed to my napster account. Any information on this would be great.

    Thanks in advance.

    Have you tried switching USB (Settings/System Settings/USB Mode) mode to PSG?

    If not, why not roll back manually. Just unzip the firmware.26 and drop the .bin file in the drive of the rocket.

    Hi, Carl L_942,.

    Connect the Sansa Fuze and put into MSC mode. This enabled the majority of users with this problem. Check if it helps you too.

    For more information, see:

    Activation or forcing MSC mode on the Sansa player

    Additional reference on:

    Check and change the device to the master or the MTP USB mode

    The only problem with Media Player 11 and Sansa device is the synchronization of album art to the device.

  • Music from Sansa Fuze for PC recovery

    I loaded about 500 titles to my Sansa Fuze about 1 year ago. Meanwhile, I had a pretty big problem with my PC and had to replace the operating system. This resulted in my losing all the recorded tracks in Windows Media Player and my PC to normal files. All I want to do is to copy the music tracks back to my rocket to the PC but who are unable to do.  I am running Windows 8.1.

    When I look on the "rocket" via the PC I can see Playlists but not the tracks in their breast. The files are in the format of PLA and the pc seems unable to read.

    Can anyone help please

    Jaki

    You should be able to copy the files from playlist .pla on your computer of the player as well. Note that they do not work because the path is not correct, but they will be there for back-up if you need to transfer them to the player again.

  • Sansa Fuze stuck on the white screen after disconnecting.

    Once I unplugged my Sansa Fuze on my PS3, it got stuck on a white screen. None of the buttons worked and I couldn't turn it off. I decided that the only thing I could do was to let the battery die and charge it again. Finally, he died and I plugged it in, it loads to full is the same thing. So I tried again, except I only left it plugged in for a while and disconnected. My music has arisen and it seems to work, but it stops immediately by the lack of power. Now no matter what I have plug in, it lights at all. I connected it to my computer and installed the drivers for it, but the rocket itself did not come, and the computer says it has malfunctioned and pilots have not been recognized. So now I can't listen to my music or anything like that. Help?

    Drag the spring-loaded power switch in the highest position for 20-30 seconds. (note that in extreme cases it can sometimes it may take a minute). Release and see if it boots normally.

  • How to make a backup copy of my Sansa Fuze 2 GB

    Hello! Can someone tell me how to make a backup copy of my Sansa Fuze 2 GB. I'm going to replace because the wheel is not working properly and I ask (the agent on the Technical Support) on all my music that I have on my MP3 and they tell me to make a copy, but whenever I downloaded on Windows Media Player, I can listen to, but as soon as I disconnect my MP3, I can't play anymore. Can someone help me please, I don't want to lose all my music. Or as a matter of fact again downloaded (too many site to visit again)

    You can manually copy your music from the device to the computer using Windows Explorer, often referred to as 'My Computer' or just 'computer' in different versions of Windows by drag-and-drop, or open the Windows Media Player and "copy of the device" after clicking on the tab sync.

    It is also possible to copy works by using an application like Media Monkey too.

    Many people confused if the Sansa was initially loaded using never WiMP, many are realizing that the application works in both directions.

    Remember, it is important to always have a backup of your music!  It will save you grief!

  • Sansa Fuze don't will not load! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have had my sansa fuze since last Christmas.

    The first time my sansa fuze wouldn't load I came here and someone told me to hang it to the USB port back because he has more power.

    So I got this new computer recently and my computer will not recognize it. I tried to uninstall it in my computer, but nothing works for me.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem

    Thanks for the help

    First try all ports - and no hubs USB, just connection is direct to the computer.

    If there is still no love, go to Settings/Control Panel on the "rocket" and change the USB MSC Mode and see if it charges.

    Look in the computer and see which version of Windows Media Player, it is a. (open WMP, click on help and about.)  It must be 10 or 11 to recognize the "rocket" in MTP mode, which is probably what you value. Update Windows Media Player 10 or 11, and you can move on to PSG.
