Accelerometer stuff

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to put a lock on the accelerometer while in Music? Other than to put the Touch into sleep mode I haven't found a way to prevent my keeping time with the music from changing the orientation.
Is it available to me in Mail?
Also (although not related, but...) is there a way to have a separate alert for incoming mail or is that on the wish list?

I think that's the least of your worries with that use of the Touch.
Just hit the sleep button when you're listening to music to turn off the screen.
BTW, I have two 2G shuffles for this reason -if I lose, drop, or shake them, they're cheap and very rugged, not to mention small.
I'd not take my Touch into the realms you do

  • IPhone Developer Program - Give us numbers like at a deli

    I think we deserve to know how long we are going to wait. I think we need numbers like we get at sandwich shops.
    Your number is: 30792
    Currently serving number: 5361

    To be clear there's plenty you can do for free. If you are interested in game development, however, it's a must to have the ability to play on real hardware. For that, it costs money and apparently waiting time.
    Touch functionality is fully testable in the simulator, as is pinching (the zoom actions) and rotating. Even crude accelerometer stuff is testable, I think. So, for most apps, the simulator is plenty.
    Any need for OpenGL ES (and that isn't just for games as any 3D effects and some other realtime performance stuff) and more granular accelerometer input, and "real" data (like location) and you'll need to test on real hardware.
    Ultimately, to release the app, you'll need to pay the $99 anyway. So, if you're serious...

  • Application that uses the accelerometer in E52, E7...

     It's not a question but I would like to suggest this game applcation called SymbiMaze that uses the acccelerometer feature of E52 and E72 and other new Nokia series phone
    http://symbimaze.sourceforge.net/
    At least now we could confirm that the accelerometer is working as it should.
    Salvation entails eternal power which will make every tyrant weep.

    Some people might be wondering how to see if their accelerometer is working perfectly. The only way to see this is to install one of those games. Ovi map used to rotate but not anymore I believe.
    You have to activate the compass now in Ovi Map using the '5' key, and you need to calibrate it by waving the phone about in various directions until the compass goes green, then the map will rotate.
    There's also a separate 'GPS Data' app on the E72 at least which has a compass though I've not got it working.
    Not sure if the compass stuff uses the accelerometer or something else (I've read 'magnetometer', but maybe it's the same thing).
    P.S. There's an app called NorthPole which is basically a compass also. Not tried it.
    I think the accelerometer (orientation sensor) and the magnetometer (digital compass) are 2 different things in the E72.
    One senses the orientation whereas one detects the north pole (magnet).
    For checking the map orientation, aside from the free NorthPole app there's also the N97Compass which works similarly. I prefer the N97Compass since it doesn't require you to do the pre-requisite "Calibrate" first before it will work. Granted, when you don't calibrate while using the N97Compass, it will attempt to find the North pole but will say "signal: bad" until you calibrate. ;-)
    The EDGE game seems to work well on my E72. Although the screen does seem small for this game. I think it isn't directly downloadable to the E72. I had to select another  cellphone from the Ovi Store (from PC web browser) and then "send to friend's cellphone #" (my number) and open it with my E72 before the app gets downloaded.

  • Accelerometer, Gyro, Compass all stopping.

    Hi,
    I've been playing around a lot with my SmartWatch 3 these last couple of days (I've had it a week) and a couple of times all the sensors seem to crash.
    It is fine after a reboot, but obviously not ideal!
    I've switched on developer setting and the accelerometer, gyro, magnometer, compass , light sensor all stopped showing information.
    Will this be covered in the first firmware update?
    Cheers,
    Willem.

    I didn't switch on the developer options until after I encountered the problems.
    I noticed something wasn't right when the watch wouldn't wake up when I turned my wrist, and it also stopped counting my steps. I then looked in the developer options to see if anything was amiss there and clearly something had stopped picking up the data from the sensors as everything was zero or blank.
    I don't actually do any developing on the watch, I just wanted to check the sensor data.
    I know about the bug on the compass, it dems to work, but just points in the wrong direction slightly! I have a watch face with a compass and I manually put in a correction to make it kind of usable.
    Good to know the system update might be on its way soon!
    I didn't save a bug report, but is anyone at Sony actually looking at this stuff?

  • Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Gallery, Accelerometer etc ...

    Hey everyone, got a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic as my birthday gift. Love its camera, style, features etc. But there has been some Issues I am facing/discovered recently. Please help me!
    Gallery:
    I've got some ringtones I transferred from my old phone. But the problem is they are listed in the "Songs" folder, in the Music Library. This is a bit frustrating because I don't want ringtones to play when I want to play all of the songs. eh? They won't move to the "Sound Clips" folder. I've tried many things...but I couldn't fix it. Pls help
    Another thing is that when I load up my device with new Images and videos, they don't get added to the "Images and Videos" folder, unless I move them to the folder which the phone created itself and saves the pics and vdos captured by the camera. Then they get added to the gallery..I think. Is this a issue or it supposed to be like this? Pls tell!
    Accelerometer:
    Sometimes when I had to restart the device, after it freezes or hangs up etc. The accelerometer sometimes doesn't work. When I put the phone horizontally (to rotate the screen or images) It doesn't work. And I had to restart the device again to make it work..(the device takes a while to boot up though..)
    Other "funny" stuffs: 
    I've heard that you can put up to four contacts in the contacts bar (favorite four). But in my one, I can put up more than four! How's that?
    When I press the media key and activate the media bar, then tap the "Images and videos" icon, shouldn't it directly navigate me to the Images and Video folder? But it takes me to the gallery homepage, (where u select where u want to go, Images and videos, songs, sound clips, other media etc) why is that?
    Current software version: V 52.0.007 . Updated it using Nokia Ovi Suite. Previous version was V 52.0.004 .
    Full model name: Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Navigation Edition. Bought on Dec 13, 2010 
    Please provide me with solutions to this problems. I would appreciate it very much!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    gallery: it's supposed to be like tht. Irritating but the problem is all .mp3, .mp4 sound files are read as music files.. Sound files r .amr and .wav files i guess.
    Accelerometer: chk if ur memory card is corrupt or not. After update, did u try hard resettin? F u dnt hv much data to lose, u cud do a hard/soft reset, using *#7370# code. Nd if u make a backup before reset, which u should, avoid restorin the settings and files after the reset.
    If u'v lot of data to lose, try switchin off the mobile, remove battery, sim, memory card for 10/15mins., reinsert and switch on. If this doesn't solve, resettin is ur final option.
    As for contact bar, i donno if tht's how it is in Navigation edition. If it isn't, resettin will surely solve this. But do not restore settings frm backup after reset.
    The one touch image icon is supposed to do tht. No issues.
    Memory card corrupt: ths s not necessary, but u could check ur memory card. For this u'l have to attach ur fone to pc in 'mass storage' mode. Open my computer on pc. Rt click on ur memory card nd goto properties. Under tools tab u'd find 'check disk for errors'. Run tht. If there'r any corrupt files, it'l be solved. In my experience corrupt card usually leads to some or the other issues in the phone..
    Repost if u've any query.
    F problem solves, Kudo!
    Regards,
    Dr. Shoubhik

    You can create a new Apple ID without using a credit card for download free apps by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534.  Follow it exactly as writtien.  Note that you have to download and try to install a free app and then create the ID.

    If it says your billing info is wrong that means that your credit card issuer is refusing to approve your account. You will have to solve the problem with your bank or credit card company.

  • I have one of the old macbooks and wish to hook it up to my tv. do i need a mini dvi to hdmi adapter plus a 3 rca phono lead with a jack for the sound. please help as im useless at this stuff. cheers

    i have one of the old macbooks and wish to hook it up to my tv. do i need a mini dvi to hdmi adapter plus a 3 rca phono lead with a jack for the sound. please help as im useless at this stuff. cheers

    First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.

    I have gone on both accounts and allowed "sharing" but for some reason when i click on finder>macintosh HD> then users and then click on the other account, all the stuff is locked.
    I just need pictures and music off of the other one..how do I do this?
    Thanks!

    log into the other account and copy the pictures to some folder both accounts have access to like the folder /Users/Shared. then log into the first account copy the pictures from that folder to the first account. same with music.
    P.S. don't copy the folder Music and Pictures themselves. copy what's inside.

  • I found My iPhone contacts on my friends Iphone we both have 4s! But we use the same apple ID and ICloud ID! How can undo what happened? all my private stuff is now on his phone!!! help me plz!!?

    I found My iPhone contacts on my friends Iphone we both have 4s! But we use the same apple ID and ICloud ID! How can undo what happened? all my private stuff is now on his phone!!! help me plz!!?

    Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
    You can only unravel this by
    1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
    2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
    3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
    4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
    5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
    6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
    Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this.

    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.
