iPod touch Ipod Touch Falls When Cold

[meyer1131]

When I was outside in the cold, I was taking my phone out of my pocket. When I did so, my ipod touch, which did not have a case on that moment, was also in the same pocket; therefore, the ipod touch fell out of my pocket in the midst of the situation. I have a minor scratch, but the bigger problem is that my ipod touch has become drastically slower and the some applications freeze up when I go into them. Usually, I do have a case for my ipod touch. However, this was the one time I did not have it on. So please help me out because this is a brand new ipod touch from Christmas.

Wow that sucks. Well I still don't see how a fall could result in the OS running slower (the ipod has no moving parts)?.

i also don;t see how it would affect your OS, maybe it did slow down and by coincidence this happened right after the fall, try a hard reset, or maybe even a full restore through itunes...

The hard reset works again. It just needed to be recharged and shut off for a little while. Thanks guys, your the best.

Interesting. I have heard that the OS slows down in cold temperatures. Might have been something to do with that?

All those little electrons freeze in place in the cold

Cold might drop the battery output, but that should go back up once the Touch warms up.
