An update for several Sony Ericsson handsets has been released. The update makes it the second update for the Sony Ericsson Satio and Sony Ericsson Aino. The Satio update brings in extra features, which allow you to upload to YouTube and Facebook. You can also shoot widescreen videos with WVGA and watch them in increased resolution (864×480). It’s also possible to connect the phone to gaming systems and home entertainment systems through DLNA. Unfortunately, there’s no information on whether this has fixed any of the ongoing issues with the handset. Let us know if you’ve noticed any differences/improvements after updating.

Sony Ericsson released the second firmware update for their touch-driven Aino which “reduces the power usage, improves the overall stability and adds a bunch of themes.”

Apart from the longer battery life, the new Aino firmware also brings new video codec support (MIME-type MPEG4-generic), improved WLAN and Bluetooth coexistence, and three brand new themes.

There will also be a new game – the Bubble Town 2.

The Aino features a 3.0″ 16 Million colour touch screen display with a resolution of 240*432, 8MP Camera (Autofocus, LED Flash, Touch focus, geo-tagging, face detection, image stabilizer, smart contrast, red-eye reduction, videocalling), GPS, Wi-Fi etc.

Sony Ericsson have rolled out another firmware update for the Sony Ericsson Satio, which should be available for all handsets. I’ve tested the update on my Vodafone branded handset and the update has been detected and installed. While I haven’t had time to test it fully yet, others have been saying the phone is faster with the update and it fixes the homescreen theme problem, where no shortcuts are being displayed, only the Sony Ericsson home screen theme displays correctly. Sony Ericsson have also rolled out an update for the Aino, which has also been experiencing issues, mostly with the touch screen. While no problems have been reported with the Yari, an update is also to come for the handset. It’s also noted on the Sony Ericsson Update page, that the handset does not need to be backed up, as the update does not affect handset data, but it is of course recommended to do so if possible anyway.

Update, the update has not fixed the homescreen theme problem. Other fixes, or unfixed bugs will be reported.

We recently reported that the Sony Ericsson Satio, recently released in the UK, had been pulled by several UK retailers. Sony Ericsson aren’t having much luck with their recently released handsets as the Aino has also been taken off shelves due to issues with the touchscreen capabilities. According to a Sony Ericsson spokesperson, only a small number of Aino handsets are affected by this issue. He also went on to say, that they’re working as quickly as possible to get this sorted out. Likewise, a SE spokesperson has also stated that only a small number of Satio handsets are experiencing issues, which while they’re is no fix at the moment, they are working on it.
