Hi Guys,

I've got a 16gb 3GS and have just bought a new Nike+ sensor from ebay (model A1193).

When I follow the instructions to link it i hear "Walk around to activate your sensor" and see the pulsing blue searching logo, but nothing happens.

I've tried resetting my network settings, rebooting my phone, doing a hard reset (sleep+home button) but nothing seems to work.

I've also put the sensor to sleep (by holding the button in for 3 seconds) then waking it up (by pressing the button once.)

Any Ideas?

Try it with another iPod/iPhone if you can. If you can't, or it doesn't work I'd try to return it as it probably has a dead battery.
 
I agree, ebay might not be the way to go for these. Sounds like you got a dead one.

When you activate the shoe sensor you have to bang your foot down a bit, it should pick it up right away.

Make sure you link the sensor by accessing it through Settings - Nike+ - Sensor. Do not attempt to link it by using the Nike+ application first. Once it's linked, open the Nike+ application and the sensor will be linked this time around.

Let me know if that works.
