geekwrestler, Sorry I misunderstood you. On Samsung chips the 4th and 5th characters of the serial number denote the chip density so a K9K8G08U1A chip is 1GB, all 1 GigaByte Samsung chips will have the 8G code. The other codes are as follow:

1G=128MB
2G=256MB
4G=512MB
8G=1GB
AG=2GB
BG=4GB

Tadad, thanks. I got my MP4 Player just an hour ago. Checked for any hacked memory, found none. It's a genuine 1GB player even after doing lattesurf's method and even filling it up to the brim. I've come of better in both deals. Thanks to you guys as well. Only problem is the screen size - 1.2" instead of the 1.5" advertised. Shot off an email to the seller and expect a reply.

It's not much problem though, but I'm going to leave negative feedback anyways. I paid for it! [I got a 512 MP3 player for $8, and an MP4 for $15 not quite bad although he sure should have got some from the shipping I take it. ]

Thanks tadad and MPxPlayer! :)

geekwrestler, Shame about the screen size 1.2 is not very common these days are you measuring it from corner to corner on the diagonal. But sounds like you did a good deal and fast fast fast :)

Enjoy your player and have a great festive season.

Tadad, I was measuring it corner to corner HORIZONTALLY & VERTICALLY. Measured diagonally and yes it is 1.5". Me stupid. :D Thanks for the tip. I'll try to make a donation to this great forum if I can, if I can't I'll at least feature you guys and the good work you do on my blog for my readers. :)

Thanks very much. Time to give the MP4 as a gift... Recon I'll get one for myself soon but with a BIGGER screen. :) Btw, the seller Etectonic has listed all of the contents just the same as I found from a Uxcell seller Best4buydeals or something. No problem since the thing performs great.

Thanks tadad! Merry Christmas! :)

hi tadad1, you mentioned that Samsung chip with 8G has memory size of 1GB. I have a fake 4GB MP4 player with Samsung K9G8G08U0M chip but I can copy over 1GB of mp3s just fine but once it reaches over 2GB, then corrupt files start to appear. So, does that mean I have a 2GB memory?

Re: hotmale1616 selling hacked 4GB players trademe.co.nz
 

runamuck, Like tadad told me, I guess 8G [4th and 5th characters on the chipset] means the Memory is 1 GB. You probably have a hacked player that is made to trick windows in believing it is a 4GB drive.

Suggestion - Leave negative feedback and ask for a refund of your money. You could also blacklist the name of the seller on the forum to warn others.
