[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1802687, member: 396914"] That could be it. The phone detects steps by a motion of the iPhone. To see it in action, hold the phone in one hand, on edge and with the short side pointed down. Now shake it (not violently) by flexing your wrist up and down so that it moves like it would in your pocket. You can see the step counter go up with the motion. So in your pocket it doesn't see as much shaking as in her purse, which probably moves more. I'm not sure it recalibrates every time. I think you have to be 3+mph for 20 minutes to do the calibration. [/QUOTE]
