Re: my mp4's memory has crashed from 8GB to 108MB!!
Yes, your edit explained that you had files that were 500mb on there. That is a trick of these hacked players. When you "store" files on there, the folder will display on your player as if it is there, but trust me, the whole 500mb is not there if you've only got a 128mb player. The file INFORMATION is there so that it LOOKS like you're actually storing the file, but you are not.
I bought 2 "8gb" players from sellers on ebay a couple of weeks ago. One received had a 64mb chip in it!!! meaning I can store about 8 songs because the firmware takes up around 18mb leaving me with 46mb lol. the other had 1gb.
If you open your player and look at the actual memory chip, I would lay big money down that you'll find that the numbers printed on it correspond to a 128 mb chip. It's probably not Samsung either, though I bet the description on the item you one listed it as 8gb samsung memory.
This isn't a "problem" with your player, it is a problem with the seller, or whoever they got the player from.
I was so pissed to find mine to be 1gb and 64mb. I was at least hoping that the seller had hacked 2gb players to show 8gb, that way they'd still be a little bit more useful. What am I gonna do with 46mb of usable space? In the process of trying to get a full refund now. woohoo
