Shake to change song

This is something that I have been waiting for a long time, and it is that ever since i saw the SonyEricsson Walkman series with this feature i thought the accelerometer of the iPhone was wasted a bit by not implementing this feature, so easy for Apple programmers to put together and so useful in some cases.

It consists in that if we have this option activated, every time we shake (with decent force) the iPhone will change the song, something useful for example going down the street, and a solution for those who do not want to turn on the screen or use uncomfortable external buttons.

    And this function; Will they enable it on 3G or will they say that it doesn't have enough "power" either and requires hardware change?

    Deeply disappointed in Apple ...

    If you have the screen turned off, it does not change the song since when you would go walking they would change themselves…. I personally appreciate it and I don't have to take it out of my pocket every time I want another song, but having it in my pocket I press home twice, I keep walking as usual and it changes when I find something that I like, I press lock and that's it without leaving my pocket! !!

    But you know the iPod Nano 4G, that iPod has it, what's more, I don't deactivate it for running, because it is not so sensitive, but to do weights I am forced to deactivate it, due to the sudden blows that the arm takes, the fact is that Apple knows what it is, you don't have to put another company as an example.

    JCD esque for apple and its fans there is no other brand, only this one, hehe and if they took their heads out of the hole, the iphone today would be a lot more, but since everything is perfect (for them) well that's the thing, and about it post I use it to change the subject on the mobile ,,, not with the iphone of course ... I find the sbsettings option to change the song with the volume more useful ...

    It is a blog of free expression, putting a company or another is your thing, this is not television ... I do not think it is wrong to compare. Readers are more and more on the defensive male.

    I have tried it, you have to shake the iphone as if you were doing a ………… .. A scam, and the A2DP does not work properly with common headphones, deeply disappointed and waiting to pay the movistar drop.

    It is not easier to use the clip that comes with the original headphones of the product and not to install more holes in the phone.

    regards

    But let's see crying girls, it's so hard for you to read, I just said that the iPod nano has it and that it doesn't make you look at another company to compare yourself, obviously everyone is free, but it would seem more sensible to compare it with a product from the company itself and thus know their future plans that no other company that has nothing to do with Apple, but nothing, you go make friends to a chat and stop blogging, you can be seen from afar ...

    That's a lie, I installed the 3.0 to my ipod and to change them by shaking it, you have to have the screen turned on otherwise it does not work ... that without counting how hard you have to shake it, it is easier to buy the original apple headphones that have the buttons for everything ..

    Sebastian, not all of us use phone helmets, I use professional Sony …….
    Switzerland you are very blogging right ghost? We are seen from afar, what do you mean abnormal?
    Adrian, what is your comment coming to? In the post, some complain and others like it, I don't understand you.

  12.   Lucas said

    It is true this seems to me a nonsense and uncomfortable! If with the MIC button you can pause and advance the topic! For what are you going to take out the iPhone to shake it is the most uncomfortable thing to be shaking the cell on it will not do anything qx that t is stolen or worse x make the canchero to shake it t FALLS !!!!
    I continue to use the button, more practical and discreet

    The thing is to complain about everything, I am VERY HAPPY as much as with the phone, with the firmware and WITH YOUR REPAIR SERVICE.

    Greetings.

    loirione have if you read well, I have not put anything that I use this program to change the song ...... I did not say about the headphones for hesitating and less because no one knows me but hey I have written it like that and period…. I have said model or price …… .. regarding your nonsense, I will only answer you about the professionals for what? Well, that's how to buy a fiat or a bmw, a bmw for what? If you prefer a fiat being able to afford a bmw then you would be silly, and more if you liked cars, in this case music, but I'm not a dj and less with an animal iphone, just tell you to write the sayings well next time . Ahh and do not be envious that some professional helmets can be bought by anyone ...

    Tito Juan, maybe you are right friend, greetings

    I didn't want to insult you, it was a way of speaking, hey, you'd better remove the corrector ……… .PROFESONAL and “prosinal” and faith instead of DE.
    After telling you that you are completely wrong, because I have a fiat punto ……… but when I can I buy a better one ……. Now the bmw are at a high price !!!. Greetings

    valeounto… ..you never understand anything ……

  17.   loirione said

    valepunto, you have to be very funny shaking the iphone to change songs while wearing your SONY PROFESSIONAL headphones.
    You could not say that you use different ones, you had to tell us that yours are professionals (by the way, professionals for what? Do you play in some gambling den with your iPhone? Are you a music professional?

    I said that you boast and I will tell you that you lack… ..

  18.   loirione said

    valepunto, can't you speak / write without insulting?
    With the Bmw thing, you don't have to tell me more. Say yes, and as you are also one of those who can, well, that you do very well.
    I will try not to be envious of your SONY PROFESSIONAL even though I do not promise you anything.

    Pd: the saying is misspelled because the iphone checker sometimes goes a bit too smart, but thanks for noticing. I see that you are also "professional" with sayings.

  19.   loirione said

    Heh heh greetings. You too!!!

    I do not know if it will be the corrector, but part of the fault must be because I have fatter fingers than the "standard" for which Jobs and his apple engineers designed the keyboard of the iPhone (and that afterwards I usually do not read what I have written to search for faults). 🙂

    First of all ... good morning ..

    I just want to give my opinion, without the intention of, that no one feel bad, or take it for granted ...

    In the first place, shake the iPhone to change the song, it seems to me the most absolute stupidity, if you want to show it or show it off, well for a while it is worth, but you run the risk of throwing it to the ground, in the best of cases ... (as you are in the bathroom ... imagine) ...
    Regarding whether or not to use the headphones of the iPhone, the only good thing about the originals is the microphone / button, since the sound quality leaves a lot to be desired (it is not that I have such fine hearing, if not that in less than 4 months I had to buy 2, because they started to sound bad, only the treble was heard and not the bass, the truth is that I mistreat them a lot, since I wear them at work).
    So I bought a micro / button adapter with jack input to be able to use any brand of headphones (good for listening to music outside of work, and more common for work) and have the option of hands-free and of course the button to pause / advance. and rewind songs.
    Greetings to all and I am looking forward to updating to 3.0 .. but I will wait for the official one… (I think I will be able to last 4 more days)
