On the recording problem, have you tried a factory reset? Hold down the 4 key, while you have it held down, press the reset button for a second. Keep holding down the 4 key until you hear the BookSense re-boot.
I blunted the point of a safety pin and keep that hooked on the lanyard clip for pressing the reset button. If that doesn't work, call GW Micro tomorrow: 260-489-3671.

Has anyone had this kinda recording problem #2 down below on their Booksense and how did that get resolved? I am using the 1.1 firmware which I got from the GW micro site. Upgraded from 1.0 due to the 1.0 issues and improvements with 1.1 as listed by GW Micro. First Q: I am playing a folder in the media mode with the folder full of mp3 songs. So the XT plays all the songs in sequence. How can I have the XT not announce the name of each song file right at the beginning before playing them? Second problem with the recording function: the Xt records only one. The second time onwards it doesn't record anymore. The only way to record using the internal mike again is either re-upgrade the 1.1 firmware or do the hard reset as outlined in the manual. even then it again records only once with me being able to play the recorded file. But the second time onwards the record function malfunctions. Below gives you an idea of what happens when I try to record a second time onwards.. I am in the media mode using the internal mike. I hit the record button for 2 sec as in manual and get voice feedback- start recording or pause recording'. So far so good. But then I resume recording (it gives me voice confirmation. Now when I hit the play button to stop recording the XT either quits responding altogether or it puts some corrupt file in the record folder which I'm unable to play in the XT or even on a PC after transferring the file to the PC. When the Xt stops responding altogether, I have found just by hitting and/or holding a seemingly random combo of buttons e.g. play, mode, lock etc. it will respond again. Odd behavior. same problem with recording a radio station I'm listening to via the ear buds. After hard reset or firmware re-upgrade, it records the radio stream just once and then second time onwards it behaves as described above. How do I fix this and get the XT record function to perform flawlessly? Thx much!

Wo dude then you must have some hearing los cuz the quality of the booksense speakers far out ways that of the Stream! I have both and have compared each side by side. You can take this as gospel since I have not been overly complimentry of the BookSense XT firmware to date. I have no issues pointing out bugs on either platform but, I try to make sure that my gripes are real and not tinged with bias! Food for thought eh?

I absolutely like the stream better in every way; it's not a popular opinion on this list I know. I do not find any difference in the sound quality of the speakers. I can't really find any use for the built-in memory of the xt, and see my other post recently in a separate thread on all the issues I've had with the bluetooth. the only reason I could think of to purchase the booksense and put up with it's numerous issues would be if you had to listen to files which were the copy-protected form of wma, which the stream won't play. I put them both in carrying cases on a belt-clip, so the slightly smaller size of the booksense is no advantage to me, and ends up making it harder to always find and press the correct key. the radio does not work when you're using bluetooth, something I forgot to mention in my bluetooth post; actually, it doesn't work when you're using the speaker unless you go plug in headphones. hth, Chip -----Original Message----- From: Zach Bender [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 08, 2009 6:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [GW-Booksense] Booksense and the VR Stream Hi All I was wondering if anyone had any objective opion on the booksense compared to the VR Stream. I have a stream right now, but there are some things, like size and that you can put apple itunes files (?) on the booksense and have them be usable with the booksense. Now i am aware that there have been people who have talked about the battery life in the booksense is not as good as the VR. However is the speaker amplifier in the booksense offer louder output in maximum internal speaker volume due to the 1 watt output , vs the miliwatt output offered by the victor? is the speaker sound quality better or worse then the victor? Does the booksense do both RFB and NLS books at the present time? any performance issues that still linger from from previous concerns that were addressed on a few of the message boards a little while back? Basically should i use what i have for the present time and maybe wait until things improve a bit further with this device?
