Sansa Fuze+ Firmware 02.36.03

New Firmware update not showing as available yet with Sansa Updater.

Great to see a new version however the release notes do not mention a fix for the overly sensitive touch pad that has a mind of its own. This is not even shown as a known issue. Are they not recognizing it as a problem? Very disappointing as this is really the only major issue I have with this unit.

no mention of looped menus?

This update will be available on the SFU later this week after the new user manual and quick start guide are available. 

Looped Menus are coming but did not make it into this update.

how full does a library have to be to induce sluggish performance? I have 420 songs is that enough?

Downloaded it and installed it everything went smoothy, thanks. Will folder navigation be added later?

Folder navigation is in the pipeline.

The new “top lock” function using the power button is a welcome improvement.  Note that the volume buttons are also locked when active.  To adjust the volume, don’t forget that it takes a tap of the power button first.

I really like the new lock feature. It is a lot better now :slight_smile:

The volume buttons aren’t actually you just have to wait 45s-1m for the lock screen to dissapear then they function was normal. THANK YOU for the continuous recording! I use this with a Speech recognition software from time to time and with the old firmware I couldn’t use it. I would like an option to revert the lock to the old way, I rather liked it that way.

As Bart Simpson is fond if saying, “Aye Carumba!”

The locking procedure has been without a doubt the most-complained about feature of the new Fuze+, with people threatening return and boycott all SanDisk products unless it was “fixed”, and now that they finally have, you come up and say you liked it the old way!

This just proves there’s no pleasing everyone. :smileyvery-happy:

No, can’t please everyone.  But you can please most, and the improved lock function will resonate positively with most Fuze+ users.  There will always be a few exceptions. 

Heh yep. I’m sure I can used to this one. This way does make more sense so. I didn’t understand why people didn’t like the old way but whatever. I like my continuous recording so I’ll take the new lock if it means I can record things now.

Yeah I noticed my volume buttons were still working as well. But thats fine with me because I prefer it that way anyway lol

I know this is a dumb question but what is the root directory that I drop the firmware into is it in the same place you put music, video ,ect.?  I’m not a computer wiz so any help would be great, thanks.

Any way I’ve had me fuze+ for about a day and love it, the SQ is a nice step up from what I’ve had.

its the main folder where you see the music, videos, recordings etc

The root directory is the “main” directory that all others fall under. In MSC mode, if the player is assigned the drive letter of G, then the root directory is “G:/”. In MTP mode, open the player in Windows Explorer and double-click “Internal Memory”.

Phew.  It’s been a while since I’ve done a manualn update to any of my Sansas.   I hope that navigation gets easier.  Thing is so touchy.

thanks

Thanks a bunch for the update, but the biggest issue I still have with the Fuze+ is FLAC tags.  I purchased my 16GB for the sole purpose of storing more lossless tracks, but when I can’t tell what album I’m trying to play, it’s extremely frustrating.

If the Sandisk devs could focus on this for the next firmware update, that would make my day.
