Game doesn't fit the screen, iPod menu sideways
I have a 4th generation iPod Nano. The problem here comes from the game Brain Challenge.
This is probably a very confusing and complicated explanation of the problem, so I've provided photos of the problem at the bottom of this post.
When I start Brain Challenge the game video is not aligned with the screen so that part of the game is cut off when I play. The game should be displayed on the screen horizontally (with the ipod held horizontally - as in Klondike), however my problem is that Brain Challenge is displayed with a vertical orientation (with the ipod held vertically), meaning the right-hand side of the Brain Challenge interface is cut off by the edge of the screen and there is a large black area at the bottom of the screen (see photo #1).
To make matters worse, when I exit Brain Challenge the orientation of all the ipod menus are askew as well (photo #2). With the ipod held vertically, the ipod menus are now displayed sideways, with anything at the "bottom" of the menu being cut off by the edge of the screen, and a large empty black space at the bottom of the screen. I have found that the only way to correct this and reorient the ipod menu display is to go to Cover View (even resetting the ipod does not resolve it). When I exit Cover View everything is back to normal.
While I have been able to fix the display of the ipod menus when this happens, the problem I described above reoccurs each time I attempt to play Brain Challenge. Maybe the game thinks I have a 3rd generation Nano?
I have uninstalled the game from my ipod and reinstalled it with no better luck. The only other software I have added to my ipod is Ms. Pac-man.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
