It says it checks whether the time going up is shorter than the time going down to keep people from throwing it off a building. So I have a feeling it wouldn't work... Especially since part of their intention is for people to break expensive phones they bought only to show off while trying to show off even more.

Don't think you can calculate that based on acceleration, you are at zero g the entire time you are in flight. I suspect it's looking for the acceleration peak when you throw it up, as opposed to just dropping it from a high building.
