"charging paused" message: So I just unplugged it and turned it on and it says it has 1 hr and 59 minutes left...and it seems to be working fine again (of course until I need to re-charge it)...but I wonder if I've got a faulty camera or battery...

if you take the battery pack out then plug into your computer boot up the camera it say "connected" then just insert the battery pack and itll charge. when it has very low battery do this.

Unfortunately I have never had to reset my camera. Is it fully charged? Is it turning on? I will totally try & help you out the best I can :)

Mine turned on right away. Try to give it 2 hours of charging. Otherwise you've got a defected one.

Hi, I think theres something wrong whith your battery Or maybe the source from where you charge, the product manual says: [Note: Some low-power USB ports may not be able to provide enough charge power.]. I got mine for christmas too and battery works great, It gave me about 10 or more hours whith music/photo and video playback, Exelent Player!

Less then an hour. However, I never stood there to check for every 5 minutes to know exactly, but when I am checking back in an hour the charge is completed. I am actually very pleased with this. I got a second battery also that I am charging when the one in the camera is toward its end...

I am having exactly the same problem, taking the battery out for 30 minutes works for a time but the problem starts again after a few days. Leaving the battery out until required sometimes makes the camera difficult to switch on or off. I don't think that Creative are interested. If anyone has the answer please let us know.

I wish I could help you... the camera was working fine as I had tested it before my trip. The day before my trip I went to use the camera and could not get it to charge or work at all.

how do you know that the charger is the problem and not the battery?Just got one used defined 'like new' and after 6h on charge the battery still indicates 0% and when I disconnect the charger, it turns off

I've read that these sometimes have a break-in period and that the charging indication corrects itself after a few days of use. I'd try charging it up and using it and recharging it a few times to see if that helps. Only "problem" is that the charge lasts a long long time! Good luck.

Ooh, i haven't had to charge mine yet, and have had it for over two months now. You might want to return it or exchange it.

Hi. I started charging mine as soon as I unboxed it. It had some charge to it but not 100%. So far mine is ok but I hope both of us didn't get a refurbished product. Maybe someone else will reply too.

That was one of the problems... nothing appeared to indicate it was actually charging. So I just made sure I had it plugged into a good socket and let it charge overnight... But the next day it still didn't work, so I returned it.

hi i bougth one too but as soon as i got it i try to charged it, it charged but when i tryied on my phone it didn't work, i pluged it again for 24 hours put it back on my phone didn't work either and when i was just about to trew it away i discovered that the on button has to be press until it start charging the phone, besides when you chaged and unplug it, you have to be sure it's off otherwise you waste your charge and time. im from colombia south america living there, so i hope i was useful and hope it ll work for you, best wishes

Unfortunately, I have the same problem and no amount of charging is fixing it. It almost feels like there is actually no battery inside, or it used up its number of possible recharges. Returning it to Amazon. Will try one more time to order this thing.

We just had a similar incident with one of ours. we just let it run itself down till there was NO battery life left. I almost threw it out because I thought it was broken! I decided to charge it one more time to see if I could get it to work and it had reset itself and came on and worked properly. just let it go till it is dead dead dead and then try recharging it and see if that works

The first thing I would check is wether or not the battery is charging when plugged into the wall charger. I had a problem charging my camera and through a process of elimination established the fact that the camera itself was bad. I found the same camera on Amazon and ordered it. If you have a National Camera Store near you or a Batteries Plus you could have them check the battery itself to see if it is in fact at half charge. Best Buy also has batteries but I don't think that they can check the charge.
