Zune blues

Are the wireless functions on the Zune restricted (by hardware) to sync only? Or could MS add full wi-fi capabilty and a web browser later on?
 
@ how to do the hardware reset ?
and if i do the reset and then loose all the data and then not able to sync it with PC Zune will end up having nothing :p

Hey I just received my zune abt a week back...I have been using it with my Ep-630 without any problems... Th esound quality is amazing... Althought the bundled earphones are gooud..it doesn't come close to the ep-630 in terms of quality...

EP-630 are better than premium earbuds that ship with new zunes?

I think something is wrong here on TE..nothing to do with your ISP :)

I dont think that would happen..Still, its your call on whether you want to do it or not!

Some key combinations to remember on Zune:

1-> Press and hold the play button and it will put your zune into sleep mode.

2->Press and hold the back button and it will take you to the main menu no matter where you are.

3->Press and hold the back + down buttons and your zune will go into deep sleep mode (so you don't waste battery).

4->Press and hold the back + up buttons to reset your zune. (This is just like a rest button on xbox or ps2, it won't delete anything)

For these you have to do it while the zune is starting up at the ZUNE screen:

5->Press and hold the back + center + left buttons and the zune will delete everything it has on it, as well as the firmware.

6->Press and hold the back + center + right buttons and the zune will delete everything on it except the firmware.

You should first try option 4..If that doesnt help, try 6 :)
 
tried 4 but no use and i am not too sure about using 6 cause it will delete the data and if it still dosn't work then my zune will be of no use :p
anyways i have all my songs in it and few videos and movies just wanted to add more movies in it. i guess i have to bear without them :(
it seems like there may be some hardware damage in zune.. is there any place in delhi where i can get it checked (pallika ?)
 
thanks pat for the tips. my zune reboots when i try playing with helmet on. I doubt it reboots coz of static charge. I've noticed...it always shuts off at a particular time in a song.

you got wifi? I can sync it with my computer in wifi mode. works little slow but if its in the same room...its manageable.

mine was also working well but since yesterday i am facing one problem as day before that it got thrown on the floor by my niece :p i was at start not able to even charge it but now charging is working but somehow i am not able to see it connected on Zune PC software and that means i am not able to transfer anything to zune :( ... so any ideas which i can try that would make me transfer the data into it ?

I had a similar problem when I first got my zune. I had connected it in the front USB port and the software wouldnt detect the zune as connected but it shows as charging. The issue was solved when I connected to the USB port on the back.

i see...thanks man. will try that. I just tried playing it without helmet on and it still goes off...i think its because the vibrations.

@pisen: I have asus P5B wifi ap....i sync using that. but try some friend's lappy...it may work.
 
^^Not too sure about the comparison.Having said that, I find the sound quality pretty decent but the bundled ear-phones are strictly okay!

@Arya: The rebooting has got to do with Static which IMO is caused due to some issue with the bundled earphones! Try a different earphone..That should help!

@arya
i got some sad cable net connection here so wifi goes out of options :(

You dont need a net connection for wifi sync! Do you have wifi adapter on ur pc or lappy ? Thats all you would need!

IT happened with EP-630 too. i read somewhere that its due to static created with help of helmet cushion. I tried without helmet...still reboots. However Paroxy's advice worked.

Only problem I have with zune now is...some songs are copied each time i sync. anyone found a cure for this?
 
^^ Try upgrading to the latest zune software (I'm not talking about the firmware here...) v2.3 of the software has some sync fixes, I dunno what exactly though.

Or even better, use Media Monkey or WMP to sync music to your Zune :eek:hyeah: I have used MM and it truly rocks..So give it a go..
