Is there an application to change songs by shaking the phone ? - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I need to get an application that when you shake the phone right/left the song changes. There was a same application on iPod Touch and iPhone called PocketTouch and was only for Jailbroken devices. Also Sony Ericsson has this fuction on Walkman Phones.
Is there a possibility that it will be coded an application for this or to get the code from pockettouch , modify it and make it for Android ? Or it would be better if there is one....
Thanks

Come on guys answer me , an app like this is needed for me!!!
Thanks

Why don't you answer me please ? I need this as soon as possible and I search all over the internet

Maybe nobody knows of one?
Maybe there isn't one?
It's counter-productive for everyone to reply and say "I don't know" so until someone does know, you get no answers.

Do a search on market, I had seen several apps that did that.

MOTOBLUR for Windows mobile smartphones

This is more an inquiry that a request. If it can be done then of course I am requesting it... it is very new so.... here we go. (BTW I know this is for Android at the moment.)
Is there any software that remotely simulates what Motoblur does?
incorporating all feeds from all social/web services onto your home page?
Can this be ported some way? Very interested to know.
If this is in the wrong area I am sorry and please adjust.

[Q] Where is voice talk?

Hello,
I just purchased a Galaxy S II, model SHW-M250S. However, I do not think it came with the voice talk software. Does anyone know why that would be? Any way to add it to the phone (other than vlingo from the app store) I have been trying to figure it out online for a little bit now so I am posing the question to those with a lot more knowledge about phones than myself. Thank you.
You mean a voice command application? Vlingo is the closest you can get right now.
Yes voice commands. I thought the GS2 came with a "voice talk" application preloaded. In videos I have seen users just click applications and it is right but my phone lacks this.
There are three, voice talk, voice command, and voice search. Not sure what are the difference among them as they all seem to do more or less the same thing.
Sent from my phone via tap tap tap
Hmm, well I have the voice search but it just searches google. It won't open apps or let me dictate messages or anything.
You are right, I got them confused, voice search does google, but the other two more or less do the same thing. They should all be in your app drawer.
I don't think they are I wonder how it got left off the phone? Kinda disappointing. Too expensive of a phone to be missing stuff imo.
I have been searching high and low for an APK that has those, but I have not come up with anything so far... lost it when I flashed a complete WIPE custom rom... I'll be ever so thankful if anybody uploads or directs me to said APK...

IDK, I uninstalled swapchat because my contact list was empty. I don't know any pretty girls that would sext me...
either way, I tried it once but couldn't do it. The issue is that you have to keep your finger on the screen to display the image, when you let go the image disappears. But you can not make a screenshot if the display recognized a finger input iirc.
Ah, didn't know that about the screenshot function. I suppose that does make it somewhat useless for this app (to the extent that the app can be called useful in the first place, LOL).

Searching for an app...

Hello !
I'm very new in this community, but I thought I could start with a topic. I'm searching for an app where I can meet new people around my new hometown. I changed my home two months ago but I didn't find new friends yet. Are there any apps where I can search people for common activities? So I didn't search people to flirt or date, I just want to do something with people in my neighbourhood.
Hope you understand what i'm searching for
Thanks and have a nice day!
You should be meeting them face to face or go to your local community centre to "break the ice". So far I don't think there is an app that does this.

of course, that's one way. But I thought the qoute "there is an app for this" is correct. Maybe there are some apps that I can use to accelerate this progress of finding new friends.

Yes but I use my Facebook-App only for privat friends or my work. So I not want to chat with new people or write under pics from other people so that my real friends can see this. You know what I mean?
Just want a new app like Tinder and so on but not with this dating part. Just for friends.
Found some apps called MeetMe, Meetup, Mico, NewFaces.io and WeChat. Did anybody know some of these apps ?!
I know Wechat lets you talk to strangers...

What "useless"? Searching for a useful answer and not for such a useless comment! Tried to find something in the web. Couldn't find anything regarding my request. Since my last device restart the Google search looks like in my screenshot. Square, simple and without the "G" logo and microphone.

Don't wanna blaim anything nor anyone. I just wanna know if it is normal and if someone else's got the same look of the search bar. Is it kind of new design or is it an ui failure on Sony devices. That's all. Hope some useful answers will follow!?

Yes I know. But it's kinda implemented in the Sony UI. And no one else of my friends with smartphones from different brand got the Search bar looking like in my Sony at the moment. And I don't mean the widget. I am talking about the Sony Homescreen setting option.
That's a Google mandated feature for "Android" phones. A lot of people change launchers to get rid of the search bar. You could do the same to change it.
I quickly switched back to the Xperia Home launcher to take a look and yes my google search bar is the same as yours now. All generic looking rectangle. I tried changing the way it looks in the google app, I tried clearing cache and data of both the google app and the xperia home app, and nope, it stays that way. It maybe a bug introduced by Sony, or it maybe on purpose, we will never know. Sony's customer service is one of the worst ones out there when it comes to communication so asking them will probably never work.
(I use nova, but unlike all these "elitists" I do not scold ppl for using something they prefer and I try to help them if I can, so on the behalf of the old xda when there used to be more helpful ppl compared to the current generation, I apologize)

While it maybe mandatory to have the search bar a part of the launcher, it is not forced upon the user they way you mentioned, as we can opt to not show the search bar in the Xperia Home launcher settings. We don't need to change launchers just to get rid of it like how you implied.

Thank you very much. That's kind of answer I was looking for. Just wanted to know if someone else got the same. So I don't have to look for a solution or start troubleshooting. Will stay with. For voice requests I can still use the assistant button and for the rest the search bar is still working the same.
I'm on stock Android 12 with stock Sony launcher. Mine looks the same as always

Just done the same test also. I can confirm I have the same issue.
Currently on FW 61.1.A.11.36 if it makes any difference.
I use Lawnchair so this issue doesn't really effect me, but still Sony should fix it.

Found the same request in the Sony Support Forum but no answer/response yet.
Sony Xperia 5 II Search bar is strange
I have a strange search bar. I made a screen capture video and took a picture from it, of topic question, can you make a screen copy of the home screen in an android phone? As you see in the bottom the search widget is square and not with the Google G. Just the word Sök, Swedish for search...
community.sony.co.uk
FYI: Issue got solved due to the current Google app update!
