So I have a 1st Gen 8GB iPod Touch that I got free with my MacBook Pro purchase last summer that is giving me a little trouble. I wanted to get it fixed/replaced if there was really a problem with it before the warranty expired.
Here are the problems I'm having:
The touch screen seems unresponsive at times.
The automatic brightness does not work at all. Really annoying when driving from home to college and vise versa because I leave pretty late most times.
Apps frequently crash. Even the Apple designed Apps like the App store
WiFi problems. It says it's connected, but the internet doesn't work
I did a complete factory reset on it about two weeks ago that temporarily fixed some of the problems, only for them to come right back within a day.
Should I return it to the store and get a new one, or is this all pretty common? Also, what are they replacing iPod touches with now? The iPod touch 2G, or just the 1G? I kind of like the 2G because it has a volume control button because I have a lot of trouble using the one on my 1G iPod. I also like that it has a speaker built in.
The screen unresponsiveness really crops up when using any type of sliding, whether it's the volume or brightness. I have literally fought with changing the screen brightness for over a minute. Moving left and right would instead go to different menus and scroll up and down.
