Pedometer and Nike+ Sensor seriously affects music quality.

I´ve got an iPod Nano 5th Gen 8Gb whit the Nike + iPod Kit, almost in every occasion that I active the PEDOMETER or the NIKE+IPOD link it the played music starts to sounds very ugly.
The music playback sounds in a slower rhythm and like it was a source with a very low bitrate (even thought that it was ripped with the iTunes 9.0.2 in the Apple Lossless Encoder format). It sounds slower and distort.
It has those playback sounds issues ONLY when its linked with the Nike sensor or the pedometer active. Whit so many ads of NIKE an APPLE together how can I have this problem when I am using both of them whit their latest releases?
iTunes 9.0.2
iPod 5th Gen 8Gb
Nike + Sport Kit
Windows 7 64bits

I could never get it to calibrate. Tried everything. Finally brought it back to the running store where I bought it. The guy went for a run a couple times with it and couldn't get it to work either. He opened a new box and tried it and it worked. I haven't calibrated it for myself yet. Too hot today!!! Will try in the am.

    As long as the profiles are different (ex. HID vs AD2P) you will not have any issues. But say if you try to use 2 keyboards at once, it won't work. Or 2 headsets at once. Your scenario seems fine.

  • Is new software around for Ipod Nano 5G with the Nike sensor and Polar wearlink HeartRateMonitor to get spoken feedback on heartrate-zone, so you get a warning if your heartrate is higher or lower than the predefined range.

    I have:
    Ipod Nano 5G with Nike+ sensor and Polar wearlink Heartrate monitor:
    works fine, linking is easy, but....
    Software is rather minimal: Heartrate is on the screen and you get feedback when the center-button is touched.
    To get better results, more functions would be useful, like defining a heartrate zone (like Polar`s own-zone) and automatic spoken feedback if the heartrate is out of the pre-defined range. Also automatic spoken feedback on actual and average heartrate every pre-defined time-interval would be very useful: like the spoken feedback on distance and actual pace I get on my Iphone with Nike+GPS
    Anyone have any suggestions ?

    I have the same issue! I purchased a nano 6th, polar hrm so I could run and receive spoken feedback when my heart rate was outside my preset zone.  My suunto t3 used to beep when outside the preset zones.  Automatic, periodic beeps or spoken feedback is the most important information to receive during exercise. I hope apple can update the software to add this simple yet critical feature.

    My iCloud on my phone is under another persons account I however am no longer with them and want to cut all ties and is there any way for me to change my iCloud account or will it affect my phone? And it's photos, apps, music?

    You have to delete the iCloud account but you can keep all your data such as Contacts, Calendars etc. when you delete the account you will prompted to "Keep on my iPhone".
    All your purchased content (like apps and music from iTunes Store) belongs to the original ID and you have to re-Purchase them under your Apple ID.
    Photos in Camera Roll remains in Camera Roll.
    Photos in photo stream that are not in Camera Roll must be saved in Camera Roll.
    Photo that previously synced from iTunes remains in photo library until you synced with another iTunes library (another computer).

  • 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.

    Hi there.
    Thank you neuroanatomist for the info on creating a ringtone. I'll try it.
    I should perhaps have mentioned that I have tried all the official channels, including contacting support and sending feedback over the last couple of months. The support people sympathise but can't really help me and I haven't received anything w.r.t. the feedback I have sent, more than once.
    I'm now turning to the other users in the hope that someone can get me into contact with a person/people inside Apple that might be able to shed more light on this.
    I've already contacted our local distributors and my mobile phone provider and they have told me that it is Apple and only Apple who decide what is available in the store.
    W.r.t. licensing etc, I suspect that there may be some legalities involved here, however it's not like we are on a different planet - we get the same DVDs and movies and TV programs here as everywhere else - just not on the iTunes store... So once again everything points back to Apple and not to local laws. As far as I know our laws w.r.t. media are pretty standard and mostly based on UK law, but I am no legal expert.
    I would even be happy to get a "we know it's not great, we're working on it", or a "it may take some time, but hang in there" ... but I haven't even been able to get that... which is extremely frustrating.
    Take care,
    Emile.

  • Nike+ Sensor and iPhone question

    Hello all,
    I'm somewhat confused about this Nike+ Sensor and how/why it interacts with the Nike+ app. I'm really thinking about getting one of these today but I want to make sure it does what I think it does.
    I play indoor football and I want to know how far I run when I play. Can I put the Nike+ sensor in my shoe, play football, plug the sensor into my iPhone after football and upload the info to my iPhone? Or would I need to carry my iPhone about for the time that I'm playing football as well?
    Thanks

  • Buying Nike+ Sensor and informations.

    I have a Ipod touch 2g and im interested in buying the Nike+ Sensor. There are a few questions i would like to ask. Firstly, is there any warranty for the Nike+ Sensor? Secondly, can i place the sensor in a pouch on my shoe or do i have to place it inside my shoe? Thirdly, i have heard from people saying that the sensor cannot be detected by the Ipod touch, what can i do if this happen? Thank you in advance.

    I started using the Nike plus kit with my Nano a couple years ago and loved it, so I was so thrilled that the 2nd generation Touch had the receiver already installed. I tried synching it to my sensor, and when it wouldn't synch, I assumed the sensor was bad. I just received the new sensor the other day, tried to synch it, and again, it wouldn't synch. I've been searching this topic to find out if Apple is going to address this issue (which is clearly happening to many people based on the amount of posts on this forum), and I haven't yet found anything from them. I wouldn't bother with the expense of the Nike kit until they work this major bug out.
    But in response to your question about where you can put the sensor, real runners know that Nike shoes just don't cut it. I run only in Asics and have for a long time. When I first bought my Nike kit, I purchased a little pouch that attached securely to my shoe (the laces go through it to hold it stable), and I never had any issue with calibration. As long as the sensor is held in place on the shoe, you should have no issues with mileage count. They sell different pouches on Amazon and most of them aren't more than $10.

  • Nike Sensor and Nano .

    I am using the Nike Sensor and am now getting the "you have completed another 500 miles" message  on my Ipod almost daily.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  I have done a soft reset but that has not fixed it.

    The recent iPod touch and iPhone models have the "receiver" built-in, but not iPod nano.  The "sensor" is the part that goes in (or on) your shoe.
    You need this kit (with receiver and sensor)
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA365LL/F/Nike-iPod-Sport-Kit
    When you insert the receiver into the nano's dock connector, the new functionality should become accessible on the screen.  I don't have the 6G nano, but that's how it work with my 5G nano.
    The sensor that goes in (or on) your shoe is an accelerometer.  It tracks movement and speed of your foot, which is used to calculate distance and pace (pretty accurately), and it also tracks total time.  You can pause and resume your run.  You can get an audio (spoken) status of current time, pace, and distance, at any time during the run, and at the end.  You can use any completed run to better "calibrate" its measurement of distance and pace.
    I wear New Balance, so my sensor goes in a little pouch that straps on the shoe lace.

  • Do I Need to Purchase the Nike+ Ipod Sport Kit or Just the Nike Sensor

    I'm a newbie to all of this. I am considering purchasing either the new Ipod Nano or the updated Ipod Touch (32). Would I need to purchase the Nike Sensor Kit if I purchase the Ipod touch or just the Nike sensor to insert in the shoe? Thanks in advance to whomever can provide guidance on this issue.

    I can speak for a new iPod touch and tell you that you only need the sensor. That's what I have and I love it. I'm really enjoying Nike's website and the history it builds.
    From what I understand about the new nano, it has some sort of pedometer built right in so you can get a calculation of steps all by itself. You can also add the nike sensor to get more information on your walk/run, I'm just not certain if its the whole kit you need or just the sensor in that instance.

  • Will screen protector affect the quality of the front facing camera?

    I got my screen protector cut out and fitted on my phone in Hanoi very cheaply - looks great. However, they were not able to cut out the hole for the front facing camera as well as I would want it to look like (it was either to big or not round enough, etc). So I ended up with a screen protector covering my front facing camera.
    They said this will not affect the quality of the front facing camera. However, Lenovo S90 has a 8MP front facing camera, so I it's not like fitting a screen protector on a 5 year old nokia with VGA front camera. How much do you think this will affect the quality of the front facing camera? Unless I can compare 1:1 pics, its hard to say.
    I know the Lenovo original screen protector has a hole for the flash light, camera, and the sensor. So I wonder if anyone at Lenovo ever tested how does screen protector affect the quality of the camera? (Btw. I really do not see a need for a hole for the proximity sensor, it seems to work well with screen protector on it, so why bother?)
    P.S. I am currently in KL, JameZ, so I was wondering if Lenovo KL can do a screen protector for S90 and how much would that cost. My screen protector is actually so well done that you could not say there is a screen protector on the phone. I only worry about the quality of the front facing camera.  

    Welcome to Malaysia mate!
    I think the best place to get screen protectors in Malaysia (KL) would be Low Yat Plaza. At the 3rd floor, there are heaps of shops selling accessories.
    Separately, I use glass based protectors and they are do have holes for Proximity sensor, light sensor and front cam.
    I don't think the screen protector would affect the quality of the front cam but rather the light sensor.
    Also if the screen protector you use is clear, it should be fine. Take a selfie!

  • Nike sensor drains my ipod battery after 5K

    I took it into the Nike store and they told me my ipod was ok and they thought it was the sensor. I tried my sister's sensor and the same thing happened. This is the new version of the Nano.  The battery is fully charged when I start a run. By the time I am done with 5K, it is almost depleated. Any ideas?

    The Nike Sensor plays a playlist, so I am listening to music. I can listen to music for almost 16 hours straight before the battery drains without the Nike sensor plugged in. But when the sensor is plugged in, it is 30 minutes before the battery is drained. I should be able to run a marathon or at least a 1/2 marathon. Any ideas?

  • Nike + sensor battery dying!

  • Nike+ sensor life

    I recently bought a Nike + sensor to use with my iPod touch. After only 40 odd miles I have got the low battery message. Now I know that the sensor has a variable battery life but the 4 and a half hours I have logged on the sensor is someway off the 1000 hour prediction. When not running my shoes are kept at the back of the wardrobe so they don't get knocked.
    Surely my battery can't be running out already? The only explanation I can think of is that it was very cold last time I went running.

    I started using these kits with the 1st gen nano and have one that's lasted over 1200 miles. Out of four sensors only 1 has dropped out prematurely (about 8 months) and that unit still had a lot of miles. There may be some bad luck or some weather issues involved that are seriously shortening the battery life. Cold or hot ground is the closest thing to your shoes. Getting only 85 hours is ludicrous.
    Other people might have the same experience as you, but you will always hear about the problems on support boards and nowhere near as many comments by satisfied customers.
    I do know that the kit has worked within reason for me and many others so I would suggest trying the system again, HOWEVER, I would hold onto the receipt and ask for the latest stock in whatever store you purchase the sensor at so you can a) hope to have a fresh unit and b) leave the possibility of an exchange open if the sensor fails early.
    Sorry to hear you're having bad luck, but it works both ways. Maybe next time you will have an everlasting sensor.
    Good Luck,
