I bought my nano week ago. Everything worked fine until updating it to 1.1 version. Now every time i turn off the screen, the currently played songed is paused.
Anyone got similar problem? Any ideas to deal with it?
I'm having the same problem. Since I installed the new version,when I'm playing music and let the screen go dark for energy-saving mode, it stops playing as well. I've jiggled the earphone plug and checked the sleep/wake settings. It will play constantly if it's plugged in and charging, but otherwise, it's useless.
From the experience I had, if you can jiggle the earphone plug it's not inserted all the way. There shouldn't be any space between the white of the plug and the nano.
Hope that helps.
Cord jigglers are wrong. The update to 1.1 on the nano seems to have caused the problem. When listening to an audio book from Audible (file type AA), the playback pauses when the screen goes blank. The screen seems to have three modes (on with backlight, on without backlight, then off) When the screen goes off, playback stops. It takes about 60 seconds for the screen to go off. You then have to push the power button and hit the play triangle to get another minute. If I keep hitting the screen to keep it from dimming, the playback will go for more than a minute. As soon as I stop touching the screen, it goes dim then off and my playback stops. This is not an "undocumented program feature" it is a bug. Hey Apple... Fix it.
I don't have an audio file to play but I just let it run through the 3 screen modes you mentioned while playing music and it worked correctly. I agree, though, that it is an update bug because it didn't have the plug problem till after the update.
I am SOOOO frustrated! I have had this Nano for just 2 weeks and I stupidly installed the update because like everyone else it now shuts off in the middle of songs. As soon as the screen dims and then turns black the iPod goes into sleep mode and the song stops. I'm listening while I work and well I have work to do other than tap the screen every 15 seconds to avoid the screen dimming. I have tried restoring to get rid of this **** update 2 twice and the update sticks around.
THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP OR I'M RETURNING IT TO TARGET!
I'm sure you read through and tried fooling with the earphone plug but I just wanted to make sure because it worked for me and was a huge relief! There should be no space between the white plastic of the plug and the Nano.
hey the problem has been solved. you are right,be careful with the way you insert the earphone. no space between plastic and nano!
thank you! everything is fine!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I have spent the whole day searching for a fix to why it was shutting down in the middle of a song and sure enough it was the simple headphones not plugged in all the way!
I have the same problem and created another thread because for me, it has nothing to do with the headphone plug. Did anybody found a fix for this issue ? thanx
I agree with cwilmire. On some headphones, the song pauses every sixty seconds.
My apple-provided ear buds (with the controls on the wire) work fine with the latest update. My old-school Sony headphones (no controls) also work with the update. However, my Skullcandy ear buds (with iPod 'compatible' controls) makes my iPod nano pause every sixty seconds.
I downloaded and re-installed iPod version 1.0.3 (iPod
1.036A00403.ipsw) and the songs played until the end again. Option-click the Update button in iTunes to install the old .ipsw file.
iTunes will remind you that you don't have the latest version of the iPod software. I plan on putting this off until the problem can be resolved.
I experienced the same problem (music stops after approx 1 minute, when the screen goes blank) after the 1.1 update. Same this thread suggesting headphones not fully plugged in, thought no way that is my cause and it didn't help. My headphones (the Apple In-Ear Headphones, the ones with the silicon tips)work fine before the 1.1 update, they work fine with my iphone 4 and my sons ipod touch.
So I kept searching and searching and couldn't find any other solution. So i tried a different set of headphones on the nano (the stock ipod ones) AND everything is fine! Go figure.
