Hello All,

I purchased a Sansa View 16G about 5-6 Weeks ago and encountered sever lockup issues.  The device came with fw ver 1.00.00 and I soon upgraded to 1.00.03 but the problem persisted.    The symptoms were WMPv11, all songs transfered via sync and  mp3 and wma format, random lock requiring 10 second reset on the same file, random lock on all files, sometimes 4-5 songs would play before lock.  Format and reset of factory settings did not help.

Tech support was very helpful and now with the new 1.01.06 firmware ... it seems to have fixed the problem.

Now here is my wishlist for this device and I think these items should be included in the next firmware to make this device as usable as it can be..... I really like the device, even aside from the problems I have had....

1. Put test files in the device image... a short video file and song file... so when something goes wrong a simple reformat and test will determine if the device is at fault or the users files.

2. Fast forward and rewind for the audio music and FM recordings.  Even the new fw does not have this.  I have not tried the video playback.  Do other devices leave this off as well?

3. Battery charge and play option.

Thats it so far.

Keep up the good work ScanDisk.
