I love my fuze+ I have owned other Mp3 player before. This one I have enjoyed.until I install 01.30.01 now I just want to know how to get it out of my device Where is the uninstall!!! and I

Still can’t get videos loaded and it seems too be taking a long time to load SD card. Sandisk needs to post Email address for Customer Service Help!!!

There is no firmware uninstall , as the firmware is essentially the Fuze’s operating system.  You can, however, replace it with the previous version, or any desired version, for that matter.

Here are some handy links.  Follow the manual installation instructions.

 

Fuze+ 01.29.03 firmware link

 

Fuze+ 01.27.02 firmware link

 

The current firmware build is sailing along fine on my machine.  Well, all except a few wee kinks on the list.  What kind of difficulties are you experiencing?  Describe the type of videos you are trying to load, and your steps tried, and we can go from there.

The refresh time when starting up will no doubt be addressed.  I have crossed more than one pair of fingers, hoping for good juju.

Sorry if I am in the wrong forum, but - I just installed the new firmware, hoping that it would cure my problems with “unknown artists” and strangely orderd files. I am using Ubuntu, to install the Files including covers I am using a program that re-tags them (with ID3v1 and ID3v2, APE). In some cases, it works, in others, I just get a mess: Unknown artist, pieces are stored from, say, 7 to 1. That’s quite annoying as you can imagine … I don’t see the difference to the files that work. Is there any idea how to fix this?

I see that I can work with .ogg-files quite well, but still, things should be simpler :neutral_face:

Thanks, Eike

See if your program can write them as ID3v2.3 ISO 8859-1.

If you follow the manual install instructions in the links Bob posted, you can install the older firmware versions over top of the newer existing one with no problem. If you are still having trouble, I’d suggest calling SanDisk Tech Support:

and they can walk you through it on the phone. :smiley:

First, be sure that a microSD card is NOT installed in your Fuze+.  Once removed, be sure to set that wee beastie where it won’t be misplaced!  On the player, go to Settings > USB mode > MSC.

Download the desired firmware in the post above.  The links will direct you to the main page for each version.  Look for the link under Manual Firmware Update download and Instructions.   It will be a zipped file, save it to your desktop, and unzip the file.

Open a Windows Explorer window (My Computer / Computer), then plug in your Fuze+.  The Fuze+ will show up as two drives, click on the first one listed alphabetically.  You should see a series of folders.  This is the root directory of the Fuze+.

Drag and drop the firmware.sb file, once it has been decompressed or unzipped, into the Windows Explorer box, placing it next to the group of folders, but not inside any of them.  That was easy, huh?  Now, after transfer is complete, you can unplug the Fuze+, and the firmware file will install automatically.

I hope we get a new firmware release soon. I like some of the improvements on the newer version, but the choppiness on a large media library in the new releases keeps me stuck about 2 versions back. It’d be nice if we could get a fix soon.
