Remember the shake sensor back when it first came on to the market and didn't seem to be so easy to get the shake sensor to pick up a shake unless you rattled your phone to death. Remembered about that feature and tried it on my new G4 and it works like a charm, what are ways that people use the shake sensor, any apps that can be used to trigger things with a shake?

Parents of 12 to 17 year old boys? We KNOW you want to say something. No judgments here on MyBB. Go on. Say it... SAY IT !

Maybe you can use it to pick up if a person is coming down with Parkinsons?

Lol

Tried using a app to switch the flashlight on with a shake but it has no control for sensitivity so it switches on randomly in my pocket

hi,
i am using 2 x excellent live wallpapers
Chrooma live wallpaper and Chrooma Floats live wallpaper. You can shake your device slightly (you can adjust sensitivity in settings) to change shapes and colors etc. on you homescreens
On a side note
i only use live wallpapers as home screen. (Battery use is not even noticeable)
Good luck
