Hi all. I prefer for music to be shuffled when I listen to music on my IPhone5s. I have discovered the shake to shuffle feature. Its a nice feature. I have turned this feature on in settings. However, I have picked up something. the voice over gesture to start music is nice; its a 2 finger double tap. however, what I have picked up. If I double tap with 2 fingers while I am not inside the music ap, music still plays but the music is not shuffled. I have picked up that music plays in original order, its not shuffled. Then I go into the music ap while the music is playing and I shake my phone and then music is shuffled again as long as I'm inside the music ap. If I'm outside the music ap like on the home screen and I double tap with 2 fingers, then again music still plays but its not shuffled. then again I have to go into the music ap and shake my phone and then music is shuffled. So each time I want to listen to music I have picked up that I first have to go inside the music ap by double tapping on the music icon on the home screen and then only double tap with 2 fingers, then shuffle will not be deactivated as long as I'm inside the music ap. Has anybody picked this up? Many thanks for any feedback.
