Problems with the Accelerometer?

Maybe go back in and exchange it for a new one. In my experiences using it, sometimes it goes take a second or so for the sensor to kick in and adjust the screen. But for the most part it works really well for me, not perfect but good enough. Only happens to me when using Safari and I change it while its loading a page, but also occurs sometimes when loading Coverflow.

 

Are lying down ? or have the touch on a hard surface ? It won't know what way its up when on a surface... it has to be in your hand.... also when your lying down it gets confused.......

 

try updating to the latest firmware, I had read in another thread that someone said it worked bit better after the update.

 

it works fine - an accelerometer is a physical thing not a chip or anything.

It works when the ipod is vertical not horizontal.

Hold the ipod up in portrait and then turn it so its landscape but keep it vertical.

That should work.

 

Yep. Mine occasionally sticks. Usually when I'm trying to show the damn thing off to my friends.

Been umming and ahhing about whether to take it back - if it gets any worse I probably will.

 

Easy Fix

I have been having this problem on and off for a while. I have just found an answer though. Just run a fridge magnet over the back. Problem solved.

 

Mind never works... Kinda sucks because I can't play a lot of games.
