Can anyone explain to me how this shake control works? Sometimes it kicks in, sometimes, it doesn't. Is there some kind of setting to turn it off and on?

The shake control is kinda neat, but also kinda pointless. To use it just hold down the Walkman key (the one with the same stylized 'W' as is on the back of the phone) and give the phone a shake or flick and it should work! The feature seems to work much better if you shake the phone side to side instead of up and down.
I'm not aware of any way to turn it off.
for me it didnt work, dont know how to turn it on :-(

Keep the walkman key pressed shaking the phone left or right. It works like a charm 4 me. Ther is no option to turn it off.Quote:

Hi Guys,
I came across this website which has the steps on how to use the shake feature in w580i without pressing the walkman button.
Here it goes.
1. Press Walkman (W) button.
2. Press Play.
3. Press down arrow (V).
4. Press right arrow 2 times (> >).
5. Press Walkman (W) button again.
6. Shake the phone left or right.
Shortcut - ( W Play V > > W ) - Shake shake.
Song shuffles. Cool isnt'it?

Video tutorial - YouTube - Shake control trick on sony ericsson w580
Hope all like it.
It cool that I can shake without press and hold the walkman button.
You can tap, slide, and spin the phone.
in my W580 the shake contol is working..but when we shake its not playing the next song but 4 or 5 song after that..Is that problem or is it like that?Please help
wow..i've never tried the method dominick mentioned...i should try that...i only know that holding the walkman button and shake works..
wow nice trick.. thanks dom!
wonder if there would ba any way to keep this seting on??
The Sony Ericsson W710i has an accelermetor. So how come sony havent added this feature on the w710i, wish they did.
Your walkman's playmode is most probably on "shuffle". I tried it and it worked perfectly.Quote:

like dre@ms said.
I hate it dosnt play the next music
Unfortunately I don't think this can be helped. It seems if you want the next track you need to actually use the d-pad because I haven't found any options for making the shake control not function as a shuffle to next track button.Quote:

Nice to hear it works!
I don't have a phone with shake controll, so i couldn't try
the w580 shake control its actually a sensor that senses when it has been moved from its original place,, kinda of like a laser toa ball and if the ball moves it changes songs,,,,,, u cant turn the aplication of or on, u can just not use it without pressing and holding the W key,, if u wish to use it just press and hold the W key and flick it sideways so it actually registeres a movement and changes song
its possible to do this with w910i . . . or other version for this phone ...... please im going crazy trying to do this trick
i knew w910 has the shake control... didn't know shake control was even on w580
