Noticed that there were some other thread re: Trekstor's Vibez. I didn't see anything that addressed my particular situation but who knows. I liked the Vibez so much whe I first saw them that I ignored some obvious shortcomings. I think the fact that they came w/Sennheiser headphones along with an anti-iPod bias may have blinded me.
I know have two Vibez(s) 1 8GB & 1 12 GB that have stopped working. I have downloaded Trekstor's utility and it can't even detect the device (that's not uncommon, Philips has a similar device but since it can't detect my out of service PMC7230, it doesn't help. All of the aforementioned devices are past the 1 year warranty.
I'm really cheesed at Trekstor, though, since they won't answer emails and I don't feel like making overseas calls.
The Vivez has a problem similar to another poster in that it shows as completely charged from my PC but when disconnected shows no charge. Both devices worked okay until I started using Windows 7 64 bit OS-I don't know how coincidental that is. The first sign of trouble was getting error messages about every track on device, I connected the device to my PC and started deleting files. Pretty soon after that my PC stopped being able to detect the device when connected.
I really can't believe that I could have been that wrong about Trekstor even though I had earlier problems w/much cheaper iBeat.
Advice & suggestions welcome
