1. I've not experienced this but may be related to below.
2. The sound should pause for a moment when a text comes through, but I've not found an option to play a particular sound at that point.
3. The sound could be pausing/skipping like that because of interference or lack of running memory on the phone. I noticed this problem a lot when using specific bluetooth devices and when the phone is full of texts, many contacts etc etc. I've not had the same problem with the included bluetooth device though. This could also be the cause to question 1.
4. Get a Cybershot phone. The camera in Aino is an afterthought really. lacks a lot of the functionality of mose other
cam phones. The 8MP is just a number. The nHD video recording is a gimmick. But the phone is great in so many other ways.

thanks for the answers, Ricky.
With questions 1-3, I guess I have to observe the phone a bit more. I've spent 48 hours on this, so i still have a lot of learning to do.
#4 - Oh! So the nHD is a gimmick? Too bad.
I also have another question. I tried updating the FW, doing FOTA. But I cant get it to work via WiFi. When I go to Settings>General>Update software>Search for update it says that the phone will now connect to the internet and data transmissions will apply. Is there any way I can skip this and proceed with WiFi updating?

So is there a way to mod it with magical tech wizardry and get us full touch function? If there is, and I know they'll find a way, i'm up for it. Sure I like qwerty, but I just want A2 in touch.
Posted by bronxdude
also, how do i remove the installation files in my phone to free up memory? i only have 45mb
Posted by Ricky D
@se-love
In my opinion, there isn't an easy way to fully touch up your aino I don't think. every touch region in every menu would have to be mapped out for it to work. Dunno if the aino has enough memory to handle that. One way may be to wait for a full A-whatever OS and flash it to Aino making any small modifictions for slider functionality etc etc. but in doing that you'll undoubtedly lose some functions specific to the aino. and that would be a long way off as the new touch OS would have to be announced, released, cracked then ported. I'd say we're at least a year away from that.
@bronxdude
to free up memory you could go for removing old texts, storing contacts on the memory card, storing all media files on the memory card, removing any removable pre-installed media, running fewer apps at a time, only turn on wi-fi/bluetooth when you need it (I keep my BT on but in invisability mode). These things should free working memory and storage memory (which is used for paging files) and processing power. I also tried removing all the media on my card, formatting and putting it back again to place everything back in a better structure but that didn't really make much difference to speed.

Do you think that Aino can compare with C901, camera that is?
Posted by hihihans
It should. They're both by samsung (i've heard)
About the full-touch thing. Would you guys have bought it if it didn't have touch at all? I know I would.

Yeah, I would have. I did buy it after reading here and other places of no plans to make it full-touch in the future. The camera disappointed me though. It's a fantastic phone except the camera, but that's not stopping me changing it up for an X10 in a couple weeks.

I have problems running web pages with opera mini (whatever version) with my Aino if using GPRS settings!!
Using the Aino's own browser they all open
Posted by bronxdude
how do you take care of the bluetooth stick?
how will you know if its time to change the battery? Is it really changeable?
Posted by hihihans
Just hope it lasts as long as Aino does.
I would rather buy MW600 instead of a new battery.
Posted by DanMan03
A while ago I had some problems with my Aino, particularly regarding the touchscreen. None of the touchscreen features would work and every time I slid my phone shut, the backlight would stay on, thus wearing out my battery.
So I booked it in for a repair with Sony Ericsson and they said to me that there was a hardware fault due to "resin in cracks" or something. This problem is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. So there was no way the would fix the problem even if I paid them some good money!!
I've got the phone back with me now. It works perfectly except the touchscreen - but it means that I cannot change any of the camera options which are STUPIDLY all touch enabled - why the hell you have to shut the slider to operate it, I will never know. But it still drives me mad
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do next? I really was having a great time with this phone, until this problem occurred

DanMan03, sorry to hear that dude
I had exactly the same problem as you, and ended up taking mine to the Service Center
They replaced a component in the display which fixed it at first, but it broke again a few hours after I picked it up
I then took it back again, and they replaced the entire top half of the phone as well as the buttons (they admitted they had no idea what the problem was) which actually fixed the phone and its bewen fine since then.
My phone however is in quite bad condition as opposed to how I bought it thanks to the Service Center crew... (the blue panel behind the display is bent and the butttons werent put on properly so they are slightly above where the keys are, causing mispresses and backlight leakage.)
Can't say I've been terribly impressed with SE considering it was my first phone from them

WAHHH! Too bad MW600 is not sold here in the Philippines. And I have to order it via eBay.
Posted by hihihans
@ Danman. That's really bad. Without touch you cant even access the camera.
I loose touch sometimes but resolve it with a restart. Would a new display solve your problem?

I'm so LUCKY, I've never faced any issue with touch

I did get in touch with SE when the problem first occurred, but they thought it was something else. It's really unfair that they aren't going to do anything about it. I have to stick with this phone for another 14 months
unless I try and sell it to a phone stall somewhere. Also, you shouldn't be put off SE. I know this is your first phone from them, but I've used countless SE phones since 2004 and they've all been top-notch. It's just this unfortunate bugger. Should you get another phone from SE, I recommend you don't get a Symbian one.

When the problem first occurred, I gave switched it on and off. Then I took the battery out and waited a while, before putting it back in and giving it another go. Finally, I gave it a master reset then a software update - still no luck. I ran the service test thing - the only one I had an issue with was the Touch function
I'm going to try and live with it for the next week or two (on a trial basis) and leave the slider open (so that the backlight can go off). If after that, things are bad, stay tuned for an update! I've always had an issue with the Aino, ever since before getting it

I tried modding my Aino & it worked
First of all i downloaded all extracted firmaware files from se-nse, as my Aino is RED & far manager can't read files, can just write
Then i downloaded Aino U10 Mollina's XPlooD HD+ Acoustic From here: http://forums.se-nse.net/topi[....]0-mollinas-xplood-hd-acoustic/ & got better bass
& i downloaded two flash themes as well [ This Message was edited by: Mano82 on 2010-04-02 18:56 ]

Cool
i'll wait for a decent cam driver before i'll try again or A2uploader whatever comes first. I'm happy with Aino's sound so won't mess with that

@ hihihans: Aino's sound is wonderful & with modded Acoustic i got just extra bass, More wonderful now
And yes, i want a modded cam driver but just came to know that codes in Aino cam driver is different from other A2 phones, and therefore it'll take more time to decode these codes

Way lower battery consumption (My Aino running the Unlimited theme reduces battery from 100% to 92% in 30minutes) and it only lasts 1.5 days. I listen to music average of 3 hours daily. no wifi usage, 20 text messages a day.
Better speed and camera performance.

No problem, sir.
I actually read the review and its surprising that they have reviewed the phone in its old firmware. look at their video review and some screenshots, you'll see the facebook icon on the bottom right part of the screen, and that's where the search icon is located now. and they only have 2 games pre-installed instead of having 3 in the newer firmware

The bt-robot just show other bt units in your phones range. Just drain your battery and are just useless.
