Q: My nano is stuck with the volume screen showing and the volume at the lowest setting

My iPod Nano suddenly went to the lowest volume setting and keeps returning there no matter what I do, also the volume icon has stayed frozen over the screen, even though it does allow me to access the buttons behind it.  Anyone else experienced this?  What did you do?

    I have had this issue 3 times now and unfortunately just started to experience it again. This iPod, though great in idea, has been a horrible design. The buttons stick and render it useless. My local Apple store has been great with exchanging it since it is under warranty but having to exchange it every 2-3 months doesn't make me a happy consumer. One time they asked if i use it to work out. When I said yes, I was told to maybe try to avoid getting sweat on it. Really? You put Nike+ on it for me to run with and then you suggest I not sweat when I run? Perhaps if the product was designed better, it wouldn't keep breaking. I got it because of the Nike+ and I'm not going to haul a phone around when I run. God luck, I will be taking mine back as soon as I have the time o get there.

    Oh, and I bought the Bose earbuds with the volume controls built in the wire so I didn't have to use the buttons on the iPod.. That didn't seem to work though.
