Put iPod Touch screen to sleep, leave accelerometer on?

I know that it has not been possible to put the screen of the iPod Touch to sleep but leave other parts of the Touch on. I don't know why Apple designed it this way since it is possible to do this on the iPhone. I have tried to determine whether this was remedied in the iOS4 update, but I can't find anything about it so I'm guessing no. I am specifically hoping that it is now (or will be soon) possible to use the app "Sleep Cycle" on the iPod Touch, which would require the accelerometer to stay on while the screen is off. The app's creators currently say it's not compatible with the Touch because of this problem. Any insight?

Bumping since maybe no one saw it since I posted it late last night?

  • How to put iPod touch 5g to sleep while listening to a song on youtube?

    right now if i put the ipod to sleep then it stops playing the song on youtube.  any way i can fix this?

    If you go into Settings>General>Auto-Lock and tap Never, your iPod should stay on... Of course this will drain the battery in a few hours because the screen is staying active all the time, or until you manually lock it / turn it off. And if a thief picks it up they will be able to use your iPod also, at least until they manually turn the screen off. Things to think about. Hope this helps. Cheers.

  • 5th Generation 16gb IPod Touch screen unresponsive

    I have a 5th Generation 16gb IPod touch and the screen became unresponsive just today. Just a couple minute after using it just fine, the screen became unresponsive to anything, not swiping, tapping, sliding... nothing. The screen turns on and off, and the Sleep/Wake button works. So does the home screeen. But i cant swipe to unlock it or swipe to turn it off.i did not drop it, get it wet, press to hard on it, i was holding it and taking a picture. then pressed the Sleep/Wake button and then turned it on a couple minutes later and the screen was unresponsive. I dont have any money to get a new one, and i dont have the warranty for it. i propbobly might take it to the apple store to get it checked out. one of my friends said that it has three layers a light layer and other one. she said the light layer got unwired or something and the apple store got it fixed. I cannot pay too much for it and definately will be getting a screenprotecter and cas e for it IFF it gets fixed. my other ipod had a similar problem, and i cant offord to lose another one.
    Any help would be VERY appreaciated

  • Ipod Touch Screen Black Lines

    I use 3g ipod touch 8Gb product. I press the middle button iPod while you sleep. IPod wakes up. Looking at the clock. After waiting for a self-closing. Ipod again going through sleep mode. Horizontalblack lines appear on the screen. These lines are slowly disappearing. It was removed at a time, such as batteries. IPod saw no damage. Ipod did not fall into any water. I look very good to my device. I use the most recent firmware. Please help me in this regard.

    - After charging for half an hour see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Next try DFU mode

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • My iPod touch screen went fuzzy with pink and white stripes

    Hello! I really appreciate if anyone would tell me what's wrong with my iPod touch.
    I have been using my iPod touch for less than a year, and honestly, I have quite a bad habit: I always use it for playing games. And sometimes, I even use it while it is charging. Usually it's fine, nothing went wrong, so I keep doing the same thing sometimes.
    one day, I'm visiting my relative and tried to charge my iPod. Since my iPod doesn't have an adaptor, I usually charge it using my laptop (the seller told me to charge it in a laptop/computer). One day, I borrowed my cousin's laptop to charge my iPod, but she only gave me an adaptor (not made for iPod or any apple products, but it fits so I thought it's okay). But the next day, I found out that my iPod went off by itself and I know that my battery isn't low.
    I Tried to charge it using my laptop at home, but it still went off! Also, it went normal in my laptop (the iTunes appeared automatically, as a sign that my iPod is charging). So, I tried to restore it and I worked (at least I thought so), until I saw my screen went fuzzy (pink and white stripes). So, almost everyday I turn off my iPod, turn it on again, wait for a while, then use it normally. Usually it lasts 'normal' for hours, but it will still be error as usual.
    So, my question is:
    What makes my iPod touch screen went fuzzy?
    Is it because I used it while charging?
    Is it because I charged it with an adaptor that is not made for Apple products?
    please help me, I don't know what else to do! I have restored it, I didn't download many applications like I used to before, and I left it alone when I was charging (I didn't play it while it's charging any more), and I even didn't turn on the Wi-Fi if I'm not using it (I almost NEVER turn off the Wi-Fi before my iPod touch went error)
    Thank you for answering..

  • Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up.

    Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up. Restored multiple times and didn't work. Ipod works with Itunes fine (can put music and podcasts on the ipod), but can't take songs off of the ipod. Using windows xp and everything is up to date. Any ideas of how to fix it?

    I didn't know that it was posted three times. My computer didn't say that it posted anything.
    My ipod still syncs to itunes and I can put podcasts and music on my ipod, but I can't delete songs after I put them on the ipod. When I try to delete songs I try to delete it from the main music list on the ipod. It's also doing all the other stuff that I posted before. The screen will go black and then the power off slider thing shows up for a few seconds, then it'll show the unlock slider bar. Then goes black again. It will also do that when I have the ipod unocked and changing songs or playing a game. I've restored it to the factory default/new ipod and it still does the same thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and then restored it again to the factory default and it's still doing the same exact thing. I checked and my computer is up to date.

  • Why is my ipod touchs screen blank?, why is my ipod touchs screen blank?

    Why is my ipod touchs screen blank?

    how do you mean? does it not turn on? or is it on but nothing booting up?
    If it doesn't turn on is it possible that the battery is totally drained? if so, charge it fora  while and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't boot up you can try resetting it - hold down the sleep and home keys, past the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple logo come up.
    You can also try restoring it with iTunes.
    If that doesn't work then you may need to take it into the Apple store and have them take a look at it.

  • Dead iPod Touch screen

    Hi,
    my 2nd generation iPod Touch screen won't work properly (which I got a year ago along with a university special with a Macbook Pro). When I plug it to iTunes, it shows all the info thats in the iPod, but the screen would only turn bright-white for 15 seconds and then stops. It worked well when I last used it, a couple of hours ago.
    Anybody had a similar problem ?
    Thanks!

    Did you already try to reset the ipod by holding the sleep and home button until the Appl logo comes back again?

  • How to make iPod Touch screen more sensitive?

    My iPod touch screen is not very sensitive to the touch. Sometimes i have to press down with a little force to get it to press what i want. I have tried other peoples iPod's, and compared to theirs, mine is not very sensitive. PLEASE HELP!

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
    Try each of these.
    Did your put a screen protector on it?  Try removing it and see if that helps.

  • My iPod touch screen is dark, brightness setting all the way up. how do I get it back to normal?

    My iPod touch screen is dark, brightness is completely up and can barely see it. Started all of a sudden.

    I am experiencing the same problem.  There are lots of discussion threads on this topic.  Several people have had short term luck restoring their touch or wiping it clean and starting as a new ipod again. Not a great option, but better that losing the darn thing completely.  What has worked for me several times is to power the unit down and leave it for a day or two then it seems to work again. It seems clear to me that this is not a hardware issue, as when it first powers up the screen is fine and sometimes it lasts and other times only for 5 seonds. Also since resetting the software address it, there is no problem with the hardware.  SO where is tech support in addressing this.  My gen 2 ipod no loger has any sofware updates, thanks apple! 
    Anybody found a long term fix for this???????
