Play music for 2-4hours and battery is empty?
What the title says!
Pissing me off at the moment. I fully charge, listen to it switches off and then fully charge. Thats not that wrong is it?

Maybe the battery still has charge, but it just shows empty. If that is the case, them maybe a firmware change would fix this.

I remember someone who was telling the same problem. After a FW update, it was gone.

Take a look at the Lithium Battery FAQ & Care Tips thread. Have you been repeatedly using the battery until it was dead then charge? That is very bad for Lithuum batteries. You should always charge it whenever you have a chance, even if the battery is 90% full.

Yes, I have. I have the latest firmware so should i change to an older one?
Btw: isnt that how most people charge their mp3 players and all? From now on I'll charge earlier but it sucks because I always listen to it untill it shuts down, just do so as it is empty so quick

The battery wasn't dead ... the player will shut down before that moment.

Just copy a firmware (even the one, which is already on your player) on your player and it will be fine. No need to downgrade.

You can't do that, at least the last time I checked. I think that feature may be implemented on a future firmware, hopefully the M6 firmware that comes out after the M8.

Yes, the battery will charge when you listen, or watch movies. From now on, just charge the battery whenevr you can, do not wait until it is dead. Is your firmware the most recent one? What model player do you have?
