Top 20 Philips GoGear ViBE Digital Media Player Questions & Answers

If the device offers the ability to create folders (like rock, folk, classical) that are selectable, create one called podcasts. If not, retitle all the podcasts so that the file names all start with a Z, and then at least they will be at the bottom of a master list when played in sequence. Doesn't help in shuffle mode though, as the podcasts will still play randomly if you can't isolate them to a separate folder.

this is not good,all you can try and do is dry it out best you can or even open it up and dry it out. all i can say is good luck.

Hi I have found a manual for you here: http://download.p4c.philips.com/files/s/sa4vbe04kn_12/sa4vbe04kn_12_dfu_eng.pdf It gives the details of the battery(page 24 of the manual) and on page 5 of the manual gives a series of diagrams showing the dismantling of the player to get at the battery. Obviously it must be replaced by one exactly like it to deliver the necessary power and fit in the space available. The manual is in Adobe Acrobat Reader format so can be saved to your computer for future reference. Hope this is helpful, if so would you please register that with Fixya Cheers

I have the same problem

Use the synchronization software that came with the device, Philips Songbird. It will automatically convert most media to the proper GoGear friendly format during synchronization.If you do not have Songbird, download it for Windows or Mac here:http://www.usa.philips.com/c/mp3-media-player/22126/cat/en/#/difference/philipssongbird.If you've found this information helpful, please indicate as such.

I have the same problem, did you solve it? When I connect my go gear to the pc I can use it and seems to be fully charged, but when I disconnect the USB the device turns off. I tried to press the reset button but it has no effect. Any suggest? Thanks

The FM Radio on your mp3 lets you listen to the radio (only FM stations)

Go to Philips web site. Click on support, then software & drivers. You will find a newer driver there than your instalation disc!

1 Reset your GoGear with something sharp like the tip of a pen or the end of a paper clip, if you're device isn't working properly or there's a frozen display. Insert the sharp object into the "Reset" hole (located at the bottom of the player), and hold it there until the device turns off. If resetting the device does nothing to restore the display, access the "Philips Device Manager" through your computer to recover the GoGear.2 Click "Start" on your computer, then "Programs," "Philips Digital Audio Player," "Aria Device Manager," and then "Philips Device Manager." This will launch the "Philips Device Manager." Make sure the GoGear is turned off completely. Connect your GoGear to your computer while holding down the "Volume Up" button. Continue to hold the "Volume Up" button on your GoGear, until the "Philips Device Manager" recognizes the device and enters recovery mode. Click the "Repair" button when it appears on your computer, then follow the steps to fully recover the GoGear. Properly disconnect your GoGear from your computer and restart the device.3 Recharge your device if your GoGear dies suddenly while playing. Connect the GoGear to your computer via the supplied USB cord. Plug one end of the USB cord into a functional, open USB port on your computer. Plug the free, smaller end of the USB cord firmly into the small USB jack on your GoGear and turn your computer on. This will begin the charging process of your GoGear. If recharging doesn't work, the battery may need to be replaced. Check that your GoGear isn't in standby mode. Hold the "Power" button for two seconds to turn it back on.
