iPod Touch "virus" issue

wth lol. that's whack....i dont think it's a virus...

 

That's why you shouldn't jailbreak your iPhone.

 

+1

Also I doubt its a virus. Despite what Hollywood movies show most of the times people have a virus they have no clue about it. Malware writers usually want something specific so they make sure that their "app" is never detected so it can keep stealing credit card numbers, downloading illegal porn to your computer that others can access, etc.

 

try resetting settings? sometimes fixes it for me. sounds like you downloaded something with bad coding, (not intentionally malicious), but that it caused ur ipod to play through both, so in a way ur ipod got confused. so try resetting settings, and next time dont give ur ipod chlamydia.

 

I'm not sure what makes you think this is a virus? Sounds like a common issue between programs or dependencies in the OS. Certainly doesn't warrent crying wolf over OMG VIRRIIS!!

And the reason is? Jailbreak caused this how? Care to explain why you fear jailbreaking beyond mythical notions of a ruined device?

 

Jailbroken phones are more unstable than official Apple releases, which isn't even arguable.

 

Jailbroken phones are more functional than official Apple Releases, which isn't even arguable.

 

Function doesn't mean anything if said function doesn't work correctly (see OP)

 

Back up and reset all settings. If nothing changes restore it. If the problem persists then you'll have to go to Apple.

If the problem's gone jailbreak again and install one app at a time checking the iPod after each install.. If problem persists then restore and either don't add the problem app or don't jailbreak again until the new version appears.

Tbh I think the iPod's just having a messed up moment, I've never experienced anything as a direct result of jailbreaking but iPods and iPhones do spazz out occasionally (technical term )

Since you've got the extra factor of jailbreak you'll have to check that's not the cause, but I'm sure a restore'll fix it.

 

Funnily enough my 3g did that on the day after i got it. I didn't jailbreak it or anything so it must have just been a little fault. I managed to fix mine by just unplugging the headphones and putting them back in.

 

Did you happen to do a reset after you finished downloading the app?

Because by the sounds of it its the cyndia apps that are not installing completely until the device has been given a proper reboot.

oh yeah ....jailbreaking is bad mmmkay

 

seems like i have a similar problem, i installed dark nebula on my touch and didnt use it for a day, and when i turned it on, bookworm started like it was on automatic mode and started playing by itself..., lousy speller by the way...
also dark nebula seemes a little unstable.

any clues ?

 

I have no problem with jailbreaking. I had my iPhone jailbroken for a while. I do have a problem with people who pirate apps. Stop being a cheapskate. You deserve any instability you get for pirating apps. Grow up and pay for the apps you use that are available from the app store.

If you can afford all the toys in your sig, you can afford to pay a dollar or two for apps.

 

The more important question is: why do you need three iPod Touches?

 

I would suppose that it's just a bug in the systems firmware. Mainly because a restore fixed it. Meaning it can't just be a hardware problem.
