EQ For The Satio

March 17th, 2010

Biggles

One of the criticisms of the Satio (and Vivaz) was the lack of EQ settings in the media player as there was with Walkman phones.

Today, Sony Ericsson fixed this.

It’s not an optimal solution, because what they’ve done is release a standalone app that you use to set the EQ profile. This pre-set will persist after closing the app and after turning phone on and off. Seems to me to be a front end to Symbian configuration files, but that’s just speculation. There are apparently technical reasons why it can’t be included in the media player, which is a pity, but hopefully this will be rectified in the future.

In the mean time, I’d like to applaud Sony Ericsson for rectifying a shortcoming in the Satio in some form. Download now for free from PlayNow. You’ll need the latest firmware however.

Satio Secret Service Menu

January 5th, 2010

It’s not of much use to most people, but should you want to access the hidden service menu to test your Satio is working correctly, you can access it by pressing the following button combination in quick succession:
Red, Green, Red, Red, Green, Red.

The options you get there include things like display tests, total call times, vibration tests, MAC addresses for the wi-fi and many more. If you ever want to buy a second hand Satio, it’s a good way of making sure it’s in full working order.
