MP4 Player Volume?

Hi guys. Been looking at the forum and tried to find anyone with the same problem as me, but I seem to be the only one.

Just bought my MP4 Digital Player (4GB) and its working great, except for one thing. I cant manage to change the volume on the player?

In the manual it says: "Short press VOL- to decrease volume" and "Short press VOL+ to increase volume".

Ive tried to just short press the "VOL"-button. And ive tried to short press and then use the left and right buttons. Tried to press on the VOL for a long time, then a short.. And nothing happends? Anyone knows why?

Lucky as I am the player got delivered with a "good" volume, but it would be nice to actually be able to change the volume.

Scooper, Some of these little bugs are able to be fixed by extraxting your firmware with s1fwx then running the repair.bat and then reloading it back to your player using MP3 Upgrade Tool.

You can download s1fwx HERE
MP3 Player Utilities HERE

You will also find guides to using both applications in the Knowledge Base HERE

Tadad1, thanks alot. But im still a bit scared. Been reading on many posts that people has lost the space on their player after changing/updating the firmware? Feels a bit insecure and very sad to that then :/

Edit: Just read the topic about Fake 4GB-players. I think thats what ive got. I also bought mine from HongKong and I thought everything was fine (cause Windows told me that the storage was 4GB). But that might be the thing, when you're upgrading the firmware the storage might actually decrease to the "real" size? So my player might decrease to 1-2GB? :S Well, it seems like I dont really have a choice xD

Scooper,
I can understand that especially as yours is said to be 4GB. If you want to know if your memory size is genuine I suggest you load your player with music until the complete 4GB is full and then either,
a) start playing them all, if you can do that without having file corruption errors and player restarts or
b) select the last 10-12 music files you copied to your player and copy them back to your PC and see if they play or are corrupt.
If you can do this then please let us know as it would be good to verify that real 4GB players are available.

Thankyou

I have now 2.3 GB on my player and everything seems to work properly. I will fill it to 4GB when I got the time (actually dont have USB 2.0 on my PC xD).

Update coming soon!

The players dont do 2.0 high speed... just full speed... which means the 2.0 usb on the players is actually a 1.1 which gives you 12mbps i believe so dont stress if ur pc doesnt have 2.0 high speed since the players dont either....

Thanks for that.
It's not only us, but also thanks for our members too who help contribute to answers and suggestions. We don't know everything, the more we share, the more we will learn.

Do you have a photo of your player you can upload to the site? (You can put it in the "Gallery" section on this site) We can then see what buttons you have on your player.

Extracting your firmware is safe to do as long as you don't put the USB cable out. Updating the firmware on your player with YOUR OWN FIRMWARE is fairly safe too. As you are using your OWN firmware, you won't get issues with incompatiblity and hence a 'dead player' situation.
