I am giving up on the xmp3. I've gone through 7 or 8 of them, and none last more than a few months before bricking. How long does the Lynx go before it dies?

The Lynx is indeed garbage. Not only is it not portable in the true definition of portable but you have a limit for 4 fast forwards/1 replay per hour. Pure crap. I have had mine for 11 months and it locks up at least once per a week. I have to remove the battery to reset it.

I have had my Lynx for over six months , and it works just as good now has the day I bought it. So far so good great radio

Well, I bought one used to be able use in a completely portable fashion like your xmp3. Although the previous owner said it worked fine, mine won't receive a satellite signal. I bought another antenna, but it still won't receive the satellite signal. I want to use it at a sporting event where there is no cell phone reception so I can't use the internet cell phone app. I was thinking about the xmp3, even though it's old and expensive, but I'm not so sure after your comment. I don't know of any other completely portable units, do you?

Yep, just happened to me. I called the Motorola CSR who was anything but helpful. Told me to take out the battery for 10 minutes to reset it (you mean like I had already done 10 or 12 times?!). Useless. Didn't help that it was 1.5 yrs old, just out of warranty. So I took apart the monitor myself. Turns out there's a poorly designed flimsy switch that's soldered to the motherboard. If you press too hard it will cause the delicate soldered parts to fail, not right away, but I found that I had to keep pressing harder and harder over time to get it to work. Then one day it just would not power on anymore. Now, I'm trying to find an electronic store to solder it back on cuz I'm sure that's going to be cheaper than a new monitor! Thanks alot, no-help Motorola!

Not very long. And mine has been having issues since about a week after I got it. So I do not recommend this one.

Jenny, I should also tell you that I purchased this device about 3 months ago and it just died on me. I am purchasing 2 more one to use and the other as a spare as I'm not sure about the life of the device.

I have mine set to take videos and get 3-4 weeks out of a set of batteries. I get three times as long when set on pictures. Beats my other trail cameras and they don't have audio.

I have mine for about a little under a year and have had no issues with it...until today - I noticed that I do in fact have a dead pixel. I will be sending this product back and this will be my 3rd monitor from them.

Here is my last post on this subject.Yesterday, I took a day off from work. Since turning off the alarm for just one day is a pain, I decided to simply turn off the Aluratek for the night, and then turn it back on in the morning. BIG MISTAKE. Now, it will not run. I get the startup "splash" screen for a few seconds, the screen goes blank, and then NOTHING. It is now just a $130 nightlight.Too late to send back. So, I will hack into it and find a better way to use it. If I can build some new code, I let others know.

THE PLAYERS ARE LEMONS since Nov. 10th 2006 , I have had 5 Sansa m240 Players do the same and fail to re boot. Waiting now for Sandisk to send another replacement.. returned one Sansa m230 that failed and got my money back. The longest any has worked was 4 and a half days... and as little as less than 2 hours.. THEY JUNK.. W.Pierce

I also bought a zen v, and literaly, in 3 days it was no longer working. It always froze immediately on startup and then died from not being able to charge. I ordered a sansa e250 and am hoping it will be much better. After my experience, I will never want a Creative zen product again.

This is unfortunate. Mine is running well now after all the time and money I have put into it. :/ I just keep posting this about every month so I can steer others away from this device considering its price and difficult of setup.

I have bought two also. Mine last month and then one for my husband a couple of weeks later. Mine is totally defective. I have replaced batteries and did the updates. It dies every day and doesn't track me. So disappointing!

I don't recall but info want you to know that my 72rx35u died randomly about six months ago. In retrospect I'd just spend more money for something that will last.

If you can, try another make/ model. This one is awful. It was OK for a few months but it is a bitch now, freezing up, losing apps, losing pics and documents and it won't multitask well if at all.

No J.M. it's actually gotten worse. The latest software update causes the gimbal to literllay die if you even touch it. I now am the proud owner of three of these gimbals! It generally takes 2 or 3 rounds of unplugging the battery and re-pluggin it in to get the gimbal to staly activated. Then, the great part is the gimbal will just go dead in the middle of a flight! You have to land the Phantom and go through the whole battery deal all over again to get it to work. That said, from what I have been reading, most of the other gimbals have just as many problems. There is no customer service to speak of because DJI doesn't respond to it's dealers who then can't respond to us. No J.M. it's actually gotten worse.

128gb shooting pro res should last about an hour, be aware the bmpcc batteries only last about 40 mins though

I bought this unit and had the same problem with the unit repeatedly crashing. Never worked consistently so I returned it to Amazon for a refund.I checked the Magellan website and no firmware update that I can find.

Same solution as HnKJay. My update of the Innotab fixed a few problems including the date issue. Our child's Innotab would occasionally complain about inserting an SD card (even with one in it), or not go past the boot screen, or not turn on at all. Once it did boot up and the update took place... then after three days... no issues. But I'll wait and see if this was a long term fix applied. And ditto to buying rechargeable batteries. The backlighting, touch-screen and sound gobble up the power from 4 AA batteries within a day.
