Well, I think it is fixed or I have gone the longest amount of time with the screen not going dim, no thanks to Apple.
I went as far as trying to jailbreak my ipod and "downgrading" to iOS3. I got it jailbrokenm but could not downgrade to anything, so I went back to iOS4.2.1. It actually worked worse while jailbroken, the screen never lit up. The "fix" came about when I created a whole new library for the ipod, loaded a fresh download of iOS4.2.1 and took all of the extra apps off and so far the screen has been staying lit all the time. the only thing i can think off was that there was something wrong with library file. Now if Apple could come up with an easy was for me to have my ipod open the new library when connected istead of me having to do the Shift+click method, becasue I am not sure if it is safe to delete the original library file.
Anyone having the same problem try creating a new iTunes library and copying your music files over, hopefully it helps you too.
Playing angry birds by any chance!!?
No, never
Well.... almost 3 wks of nice bright screen, just went dim. I made the mistake of putting some apps back on since it was working. So ,1)start removing apps, nothing...2) reset, nothing...3) finally, restore andstart out as a new user, don't use back up!!!!, back to nice bright screen. I think I prefer bright screen to apps.
I tried that, it didn't work.
unfortunately this little fix stopped working for me and now I am back to a non-lit screen. I have tried everything that I can and still no luck. what is really sad is that I still don't see any other ideas from Apple, I guess they never look at this forums.
