Default Re: Anybody have this player?

HI, I have charged the unit for over a day in some cases and still only get about 30 mins out of it!! I origianlly did it with the wall charger for about 8 hours then i have used the PC via USB as well, but all seems the same no matter what type of charger I use!! My wall charger is a chinese one with an australian converter, but i dont think that makes any difference??

The battery icon is inconsistent and shows a full charge but it soon drops to one bar and then KAPUT!! I just assumed the battery was a dud. shame I was kinda hoping to get a couple of hours out of it. I only play music,in fact the whole Video, FM radio stuff does not interest me in the slightest.

I will email Uxcell and see if they can do anything otherwise I will swap out the battery for a better one!! not much else I can do, On the other hand by the time I paid $95 AU for the player and then buy a battery etc I might as well have sprung $250 for the real Ipod nono :roll: the battery life would be worth the extra money. Don't get me wrong, I like the unit, like the way these generics don't conform to all this DRM bullshyte Apple and Microsoft install in relation to copyright music :twisted: And I like the fact it is essentially a 2 gig usb drive when i need it!!
cant wait to be able to up spec the themes and FW though!! hopefully the tool will get an update from wIre soon :P

thanks for your concerns

Cheers

Joffa
