Ok i may be a bit slow here. But when i minimise the walkman with a track playing, the track artist and album float on the main screen. Also depends on what theme is active. Do other se models do this?

I don't know for other models, but my W850i does the same thing only in the "advanced" themes i.e. those that have the menu vibration feature, if you know what I mean. It's probably normal and I find it a pity that there none of the additional themes downloadable from the SE site sport this useful vibration feature.

In some preloaded themes, namely, Female Line, Grouped, and Orange Bubbles (I hope I didn't forget any), as you navigate through the main meny, a short vibration is felt when scrolling through menu items - Play Now, Internet, Entertainment and others.

It's a fine little addition, IMHO.

I guess they changed it so that it wouldn't block the battery/time/signal bar.

And the vibro menu was the same on the W810's Orbit theme.

Yeah I have a W810 and use the Orbit theme and as stated it vibes between icons when using the menu. And also have the floating track remaining when the Walkman app has been minimized.

i think the problem comes with the non-SE themes.my friend suggest me that do not change the themes too frequently.

any other ideas?

The artist/title also shows on the top of the screen if you're doing other things and the song changes (for example if you're in the middle of writing an SMS and the song changes).

Also (this was mentioned in another post) if you're using the "Grouped" theme, the bubbles that come up from the standby screen changes colors with different volume levels.
