02-22-2011 07:18 PM New Firmware update not showing as available yet with Sansa Updater. Re: Sansa Fuze+ Firmware 02.36.03Options
02-22-2011 07:44 PM 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. Re: Sansa Fuze+ Firmware 02.36.03Options
02-22-2011 10:05 PM no mention of looped menus? Re: Sansa Fuze+ Firmware 02.36.03Options
02-22-2011 10:16 PM 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. Forum Admin slotmonsta Re: Sansa Fuze+ Firmware 02.36.03Options
02-23-2011 07:27 AM how full does a library have to be to induce sluggish performance? I have 420 songs is that enough? Re: Sansa Fuze+ Firmware 02.36.03Options
02-23-2011 07:28 AM Downloaded it and installed it everything went smoothy, thanks. Will folder navigation be added later? Re: Sansa Fuze+ Firmware 02.36.03Options
02-23-2011 09:06 AM Folder navigation is in the pipeline. Forum Admin slotmonsta Re: Sansa Fuze+ Firmware 02.36.03Options
02-23-2011 06:11 PM 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.
