Sony Ericsson Satio and Vivaz finally get a music equalizer

17 March, 2010
The Sony Ericsson Satio and the recently released Vivaz both lack a nice modern convenience - a music equalizer. A team of SE developers have come up with a fix today - and it's a rather strange fix....

          Well, don't expect much on this. It's not like the MAIN ISSUE (meaning: this phone having a ridicilous low volume level) will be sorted with having an equalizer.
          But it will help, adding some of the mids and lows that were missing.
          Specially if you like electronic music, you must have this equalizer.

          Go to: www.sonyericsson.com/fun on your phone, then click on Software and there you can download it.

          It works fine.

                  I got the Vivaz on Saturday from 02 and I've already had issues.
                  02 have removed all the games. So you don't get rally Pro preinstalled as Sony websites are claiming.

                  Also, I tried to download the equalizer app and it didn't work because my phone was in the wrong time zone? My phone seems to think GMT London time is roughly 12 hours off what it should be.
                  When I rang Sony ericsson they seemed to think it was some tinkering that O2 do to the handsets that causes this.
                  02 on the other hand, think they're completely in compliance with rules and regulations and see no problem with the software that have.

                  I love the handset. Everything expect the lack of equalizer. Yes, the W995 is the ultimate music player phone. But when you're paying nearly £400 a unit, surely asking for some bass on a song isn't too much to ask!

                  What happened to people who had Satio software issues? How were these sorted. I'm willing to ride out the software issues with the Vivaz if it all gets sorted in the end.

                    The 'Party' setting is the best option. Seems to be the most balanced with the right amount of BASS!

                        Thanks for the update on the update! Really confused me why a Sony phone wouldn't have an equaliser. I tried it out with some heavy warbling basslines on the Megabass setting and it sounded much better. You don't have to hide it in the background either, you can close the application and it still works.

                        I found it by navigating to the PlayNow website on my Vivaz and selected Applications> Top 20> Free (tab)
