IPod Touch 2G screen goes dark...

I've been having this problem for a while now.  I might be using my iPod, or it might be locked and I go to use it, but the screen just suddenly goes dark (the backlight turns off).  Sometimes it comes back after a few seconds, sometimes it takes several minutes.  I don't usually bother with turning it on and off or anything, I just wait it out.  Does anyone else have this problem? It's really starting to be a nuisance... Thanks! 

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via itunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still a problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Did you purchase your iPod Touch second hand or direclty from the Apple Store? I would recommend that you go back to the Apple Store and show them both devices in action so that they can advise you closely.

    Music stops playing when the screen goes dark; the earbud jack is flush with the iPod. The Jack is hard to push in. what is the problem? How do I Fix it?

    And you are positive the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?
    Have you tried another set of headphones to see if the problem persisted? If so, it's likely that the headphone jack needs replacing.

  • 6288 - screen goes dark after 15 seconds

    Hi
    Have just purchased a 6288. Screen goes dark after 10 - 15 seconds if you don't touch the keypad - very annoying if reading a message. Have turned Power saver and sleep mode off, but screen still goes dark. Does anyone know how to stop it from doing this?
    Thanks

    Yes it is quite annoying. The screen saver time out does little to remedy this. A way around it that I use is to reassign the navikeys. you can dictate what each button does :go to menu > settings > my shortcuts > navigation key. my up goes to contacts, left goes to new message, right goes to music player and down does nothing. so every time the screen goes black, I just hit the down key to turn it back on.

    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

  • Screen goes dark after dialing

    When I place a call using my contacts or my keypad, the screen goes dark after hitting the green "send" button.  It stays dark until I hang up.  How do I get the screen light to stay on when I place a call?

    This phone has a sensor if you put the phone to your face or even put your hand over to near the top of the screen it will go dark. There is a sensor to prevent false activation of the touch screen.
    I found when my phone is working on the car adabter it goes dark rather fast when I make a call. I use a Bluetooth earphone most of the time with this phone.  I don't feel comfortable holding it to my ear.
    If I see the screen go dark and I need access, I simply run my finger up from the bottom of the screen to bring it back to life.
    I am going to look in to this part of the phones operation a little more closely to see if there is anything else I can bring up about this...

  • My screen goes dark to quickly.

    My screen goes dark to quickly when I'm using it for cooking.

    Then increase the Auto-Lock time in Settings > General > Auto-Lock.
    Of course, you can always just touch the screen to brighten it and reset Auto-Lock, however, this can be messy if you are cooking.
