The stoopid thing seems to think it's docked so won't turn off, meaning the battery runs down after a couple hours. Anyone seen this before cos its really irritating? Hey Guys,
Off the point but i seem to have develpoed a software problem with my 5G ipod. The stoopid thing seems to think it’s docked so won’t turn off, meaning the battery runs down after a couple hours.
Anyone seen this before cos its really irritating?

Before the 1.2 update, you need to touch the click wheel then move your finger slightly. Sometimes you want to see how many minutes is left of the song or how far you've gone into the song, but if you move your finger too far you change the volume instead. So this eliminates the possibility of a mistake. There’s another little thing, you can trigger the backlight by just touching the click wheel and then removing your finger.

I did not get the bevel effect though. I will check back on feedback from others. take care.

Thanks Karsten, I totally missed everything! I didn't see the actual event with Steve, so I only got details second-hand. I completely missed that. Well, it was exciting for me I guess... And I typically just listen to music on my iPod and haven't clicked around much, so I'm not totally surprised it's been there a while. oh well. haha, wow.

The brightness also persists in the regular menu system - which is nice for when you're iPodding in the dark When watching a video you can now alter the brightness just you you were previously able to fast forward.

The bezel-overlay is the whole 'fast-scrolling'-feature that Steve Jobs anounced, if i'm not mistaken. And the stopwatch has been there for a long time already... So... nothing shocking, i'm afraid ;) Errr… The bezel-overlay is the whole ‘fast-scrolling’-feature that Steve Jobs anounced, if i’m not mistaken.
