iPod touch Top Quarter of iPod touch 4G Screen Badly Calibrated

[dwarnecke11]

It seems when I tap near the top of the screen, it registers a touch a few mm above where I tapped. I confirmed this using the Draw 4 Free app. It only does this near the top, so I'm always missing button presses on apps with tabs and such. I can compensate by tapping a little lower than the requested button is. Anyone else have this problem?

Should I exchange it? I bought it at Best Buy on Sept. 8th. It doesn't have a light leak, clicking during recording or other bugs and a replacement could have these problems.

Exchange it, now you can.

Wait a moment - in Draw 4 Free I flipped the iPod over and it exhibited the same inaccurate presses on the other end of the screen (bottom is now top) and the "top" became accurate. I guess this is software-related. I'll hang on to this one.

Then you might try a restore.

Then you might try a restore.

Being an iOS n00b, I just sync it in iTunes, and click "Restore"? Will it then resync all my contacts, apps, music, etc?

Uhh never restored so..

But I think if you got it all checked to sync on every connect then I think it will sync when restored.


Someone correct me if I am wrong.

It seems it syncs everything but the contacts...

Fixed that. This option is under the "Info" tab on the sync screen.

Hmm I am going to assume that a light leak means that you see light shining from the gap between the screens glass and the metal shell. I have had that on both of the iPod touchs I own. Is it really a big problem?
