Normally im on this forum for computer things, but for the first time I have a question as to whats going on with my what was... a very reliable nano.
The Problem
Starting last week, my 5th gen nano starting pausing its self on its own during playback. It would do it at random intervals. Sometimes it would let a full song play, sometimes it would pause every 5-10 seconds on its own.
Secondly, to add to this, the problem has also grown into the ipod turning its self on from sleep randomly, going back to sleep, and then again turning its self back on over and over.
Things ive tried:
-Full reset (Hold menu and center button on click wheel)
-fully recharging it
-Changing various settings that detect the headphone jack pausing when you pull it out during playback. No luck here. (Mine has a white headphone jack, I heard some have red ones?)
-Changing energy saver settings.
Nothing seems to help. Last thing I can think of is to do a restore on itunes back to factory settings. I doubt that will fix things to be honest though.
I did buy a brand new 7th gen nano, but i just hate to toss out my still good 16gb if its fixable. What do you guys think?
