hello everyone,
I need help with my ipodtouch and I'm going to tell you the whole story
I bought an ipod touch a couple of months ago it had v.1.1.4(with soft ware upgrade) I wanted to get the 2.0 update but itunes isn't avaliable were I live so I went for leaked I downloaded a file from the web , clicked restore on itunes while pressing shift ,choose the update file ,then pressed ok it restored and I got 2.0 which had bugs and gliches then I upgraded to 2.0.1 . I still had bugs so I took it to the store to get it fixed . but they jail broke it! and I paid 20$ . so I restored and took it to apple head office where I spoke to the engineer he told me hw will remove the old software and install the official 1.1.4(with software upgrade)
I got it yesterday and I have been having some gliches:
when I was syncing my ipod I closed itunes and the ipod swiched on showing apple mark
when I used youtube search all videos times were 00.00 when I checed featured videos and went back to search everything was normal
and I feel that the sound controller sometimes freezes when I try to adjust the volume
I don't know weather it's normal maybe it's because sometimes I go far from the router
please help me my ipod is the 32gb and I feel very guilty
also when I put the ipod back in the box and then wanted to use it I found it turned on it was saying slide to power off at the head of the screen. I think it had been turned on while being in box
I am thinking of selling it what do you think? it caused me enough troubles till now
and I hope someone posts a reply!
anyones?!

To be honest that sounds like when you put it back in the box it was in a position where the sleep/wake button (the button on the top) was being held down by the edge of the box; that would explain why it got turned on and it would also explain why the "slide to power off" graphic had appeared.

think the problem could be becuse of the upgrade.

i think the 2.x upgrades the bootloader and if you go back to a lower firmware it will have bugs like that. well mine did after i tried 2.0 and went back to 1.1.4..

after 2.0.1 came out i tried that one and it's did fine. now i got 2.0.2 and i havent had any bugs. might restart on some apps but to me that normal in all firmware vers..

I use all of my stuff gently I have never dropped it I own the heeadphones and the usb cable and a stand I also got a hard case for it
but it has some scraches at the backplate as it is very sensitive
