IPOD Touch 3g 64G, applications jumping back to home page and random scroll

Hi, I hope someone can help;
I have recently purchased a 3G 64GB Ipod touch, I have purchased several applications for it over the last few weeks, as well as upgrading it to the latest version and ensuring I have the latest ITunes. My ipod has work fine up to the last couple of days and now I get the following symptoms;
1. At random times in any app it will jump back to the home screen.
2. Whilst scrolling around the home screen it will "jump" back to the previous screen or keep scrolling left until it reaches the search screen.
I have tried the following;
1. A full reset from the ipods menu
2. A full restore from ITunes
3. A hard reset (hold down power and center button until eventually logo apears
4. Removing all apps
5. Power off (using red slider) and back on again
6. Removing all apps and only installing those that were workind a week ago
7. Deauthorising my PC and then reauthorising followed by a full restore and resync.
7. Throwing it at the wall and flushing it down the toilet (not really but I am getting that way :S )
Any one have anything else I can try please?
Thanks in advance

Roaminggnome, I did think of this but I can't seem to make it happen in any way physical (gentle tapping around the button, slight pressure etc etc). Also I have now cleared everything with no apps on I can not make the fault happen any more this time around ???? I then loaded one app again no problems, I am currently doing one app at a time to see if/when it starts again is linked to one app

My ipod touch 4th gen will not find my home wifi and im standing next to the router? i did not do anything to the ipod nd im sure its not my router since my laptop and PS3 work perfectly

i know for a fact its not my router because everything else works fine

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Why does my ipod touch 4gen keeps going back to home page when browsing on the apps store

Why does my Ipod touch 4 generation keeps going back to home page when browsing in the apps store.
I called apple 5 times today and asked me to restore it 3x the problem still exists. This problem starts to occur yesterday after upgrading to IOS6.
Apple customer service is not good enough as they cannot fixed the problem or tell me that I can change the unit as I just bought this 2 months ago.

Because there is a bug in iOS 6 that effects the 4G iPod touch.

When I try to play a song on my iPod Touch, it shows the information screen for the song and then skips to a new song but then goes back to the main playlist page without ever playing a song! Help!

thats tough man, yeah exchanging it is the best option. But why do people always leave a message saying" i'll probably just by an ipod" and it's usually followed by, "even though i don't like apple or ipod" . I mean fine, if u feel like giving up on the zen micro thats fine, i personally don't care if you're going to buy an ipod. for god sakes ipod isn't even the next alternati've mp3 players, theres plenty. Are u just trying to get the creative people saying "oh man we lost another one to ipod" cuz i'm sure they don't lose sleep over u wanting to buy an ipod instead of a zen. *done ranting*

The screen on my Ipod touch came away from the back.

The screen on my ipod touch came away from the back and then stuck back down a couple of days later. The battery seems to be weak now but everything else is OK. What could have caused this? Over chargibg in the car cradle?, Heat? Being held too tightly in the cradle?, Getting water inside?
Has this happend to any of you.

If you have successfully restored the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

"You can restore to Factory Default which should go back to the original system"
This will not work..
A restore will always install the latest available software.
Again, there is NO legit way to go back at all.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
