Nike + with Non-Nike shoes

Has anyone used the Nike+ with a pair on running shoes that are not Nike brand? I really like my current shoes and don't want to buy new ones.

I use mine with a pair of Saucony's too. I just taped the sensor to the laces (lowest lace on the right shoe) and then did the calabration. I calabrated it running and walking, each for 1.25 miles. I went to the track and was careful to run 5 lapes in lane one to ensure I was running (or walking) 1.25 miles. Once I dd this, I found it to be very accurate, it registered 5.02k for a 5k race I ran. I ware my iPod on my right hip.
At least until I started having a problem where my workout is ended early, when t shouldn't.

Receiver with non-Nike shoes

What options do I have if I don't want to use the special Nike shoes meant for storing the remote receiver?
Dell Inspiron 6400, Windows Vista Other OS

I had the same problem and my boyfriend found online this little case that fits around your sensor and attaches to your shoe laces. It seems to work great. It was like $20 online from some chinese company i think its called the SwitchEasy "runaway". I would recommend it as I don't wear Nike shoes because i the fit. I use it with my Brooks. Hopw this helps!!

Non-nike shoe first experience

I used the sport kit for the first time today with my New Balance shoes. The distance was off terribly - distance was actually 3.7 miles but it monitored it as 1.52 miles. I put the sensor under the insole of my left foot...and it did move around slightly during the run...Not sure if I need to buy the Nike shoes or if calibrating the sensor would help - this is a really BAD reading and I am slightly discouraged!

Of course, Nike makes a great shoe, so for most people the simplest & best solution will be to buy the Nikes. But having different shoes will not keep you from using the Nike+ Sport Kit.
I have heard many excellent runners who have a problem with Nike shoes (because they need custom made shoes or they have wide feet or any number of issues) say that they are successfully using the Nike+ sensor with non-Nike shoes. Some people carve out the same kind of hole in their non-Nike brand that the Nikes have. (It's not that hard to carve a hole to fit the sensor.)
Others have simply placed the sensor under their laces where the tongue attaches (making sure it is really secure--this is problematic with some brands). Others have used various means to attach the sensor in roughly the same position.
Still others, like myself, have cut a SMALL slit in the fabric of the underside of the tongue just above where it attaches and popped the sensor in there.
As long as the sensor is not moving sliding around freely but is fixed in position and is relatively level, your readings will not be affected.

Problem with Nike plus and running in non-Nike sneakers

I love running with my Nike plus and my itouch, but I've been having trouble with my Nike plus logging incorrect mileage when I attach the foot sensor to my non-Nike running shoes (in one of those little velcro pouches secured to the shoelaces). For instance, I ran a half marathon and it logged 4 miles. When I put the sensor back in my Nike plus shoes (which aren't quite as comfortable for me) everything is fine. Is anyone else having this problem? Should I carve a hole in the insole of my other sneakers to embed the sensor?

Seems something got corrupted with this VI. Copy things over to a fresh VI and things should be OK.

HT1602 Hi, does my iPhone need to be on the left side of my body to work well with the Nike+ sensor in my shoes? I used it on my right side and the calibration was so off point.

Hi, does my iPhone need to be on the left side of my body to work well with the Nike+ sensor in my shoes? I used it on my right side and the calibration was so off point. I recently got a Bluetooth headphone and the antennae is on the right ear piece. For seamless connection am required to have my iPhone on my right arm if am using the headphone outdoors.

I was wondering this too. Did you ever get an answer? I just bought a non-nike pair of sneakers and have a pod pouch now on my laces. I have it tight, at the lower part of the laces so its flat. When its on the left side my time is very similar to what it was when I used the nike shoes. When it is on the right side, my time is about 35sec/mile higher. I wonder which is more accurate and if you are supposed to have them on the same side. If so, then that is as accurate as with my nike shoes. Hope we get an answer soon. Im about to return everything its so frustrating.

Options re: Nike+iPod compatibility with non-nano iPods?

Hi,
I'm a runner who bought a fifth generation ipod (mainly for running) in late 2005. I am interested in the Nike+iPod system but was disappointed to learn it is only compatible with iPod nano, though many nanos use OS 10.3, like the fifth gen. ipod.
Any suggestions beyond selling the one I have and buying an ipod nano?
Thanks

{quote:title=Jeff Bryan wrote:}
The compatibility of the Nike kit with the nano has more to do with the nano being more suitable for running as it has flash memory and not a hard drive (no skipping or moving parts), and is lighter and smaller too. Much more suitable for activity sports. It has nothing to do with the Mac OS version.
Thank you for the reply, Jeff.
I appreciate your points and I don't mean to belabor the issue. I meant to say I purchased the iPod in late '06, which makes it just over a year old. Technically the Nike+ kit was available then, but it was basically brand new and I don't recall being aware of it.
To respond in support of the 5th gen ipod, personally I've run with it well over 500 miles, up to 13+ miles at a time, over steep hills and through heavy rain and skipping has not been an issue once. The same is true for a few other runners I know who use this model. While the nano is smaller, the 5th gen is a good size as well, and a marked improvement over older devices runners used happily for years, so it is far from a critical issue.
There's nothing you can do other than replace your 5th gen with a nano. There are no options to make your 5th gen work with the Nike kit.
I understand and appreciate Apple's making an iPod tailored to running, but logically activity sports would have been considered a key use from the first iPod, and the pre-nano models are suited to this very well also. I am a usually-happy and consistent Apple customer, am just once in awhile annoyed when good (and relatively new) products are not included for compatibility with new systems. It seems to me that the points you mention, while logical, are far from critical, and that a product less than 18 months old using the same OS could easily have been made compatible with the Nike kit.
Thank you again for the reply, I'll forward my thoughts to iPod feedback.

Can I use a Ipod Mini with the Nike running chip?!

I'm looking at buying a Ipod Mini, but I was told that it might not work with the chip in my running shoes from Nike! Is there anyone who knows if this is true or not!!

Can I use a Ipod Mini with the Nike running chip?!
No. Only the iPod nanos and the second generation iPod touch are compatible with it.

Can I use my Nike+ with 2 Different Computers: my home mac and work PC?

I use my Nike+ with my Nano on my home iMac and track my runs on Nike+.com. Works great. However, I travel for work and will be back on the road next week with my work PC. I don't have itunes loaded on my work PC (not allowed - its not "corporate" software).
So, will my Nike+ and Nano store a week's worth of workouts till I can get home and connect to my home iMac? Is it possible to somehow upload to Nike+.com from my windows PC without loading iTunes?
I want to track all of my workouts, even when I travel.
Thanks for your help!!

I have the same question. On a regular basis I use my Nike+ with my desktop. However, I travel quite often and run while out of town, and would like to also use my laptop to send my run info to Nike+. I have looked on the Nike+ website and also found no answers. I do not want to sync my music on my laptop to my Nano, only the run info.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Apple: Please add GPS and non-Nike workout apps to Nano

Apple,
I've bought three earlier incarnations of the Nano, but stopped upgrading after the 4th gen, when the product lost versatility. Among other things, please consider adding GPS capability and the ability to load non-Nike workout apps such as Runkeeper and Edomondo to the Nano. 64 GB would be nice too.
Thanks.

To do what you want the Nano would be the size of an ...iPod Touch. Maybe in 3 to 4 years they could get a functional one down to that size.
The 6th Generation Nano added a much smaller form factor, a touch screen and a clip. The 7th Generation added Bluetooth (a welcome addition for me), added back video and still has built in Nike +.
The iPod Touch is lighter and a bit smaller than the iPhone, you might give it a look. There would be no way to squeeze the features you want into the Nano form factor due to the size of battery you would need.
But you can tell Apple what you are dreaming of: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodnano.html

SSRS report with tabular model – Create a dropdown report parameter with "None" option as the top value.

Hello Everyone,
I would like to create SSRS single select dropdown list parameter (it is using MDX query in dataset) with "None" option at the top. Note: this parameter is dependent parameter and getting filtered based on the selection of another parameter.
How can I add hard-coded "None" text at the top of the parameter values? Can Union function help me to add this hard-coded value? The purpose is, when user selects None from the dropdown ignore the condition of the parameter from MDX query else
use the selected value in query condition.
Thanks, Ankit Shah

Hi Ankit,
In your scenario, you can achieve your requirement in report level other than in query. Add a Filter like:
Expression: =IIF(Parameters!Name.Value="None",1,Fields!Name.Value)
Operator:=
Value: =IIF(Parameters!Name.Value="None",1,Parameters!Name.Value)
In this case, report will ignore this parameter, and show all the records on the report when selecting “None” value. I have tested it on my local environment, the screenshots below are for you reference.
Reference:
Add a Filter to a Dataset (Report Builder and SSRS)

BI-IP with non SAP environment

Hi,
How is BI-IP suitable for Planning , Budgeting and Forecasting with non-SAP environment?
Regards,
UR

Hi UR,
BI-IP works on top of BI (datawarehouse). If you mean load data from non sap into BI and then plan with IP, it can be a good solution, if you mean plan data outside BI it is not possible.

Problem with Non-English Fields Output to PDF by JASPER in JDev10.1.3

I am using jsprx files(designed in i-report) to generate pdf reports out of an oracle database.
The non-English fields are shown correctly when I output the report into an HTML or when I view it with JasperView.
If I try making PDF files (JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile) the static fields containing e.g.Arabic/Chineese characters won't be displayed and dynamic fields from the database with non-English contents will be shown as ??? or null.
I received some suggestions about using PARAMETERS to feed the report instead of FIELDS, which I think can not be helpful in this case and in general.
I think this should be a common problem. These are the components I am using:
itext-1.4.7. jar
commons-digester- 1.7.zip
jasperreports- 1.2.8.jar
Any comment or help is appreciated.
Thanks
