I bought an adapter for my itouch 5 so that i won't need a computer to charge my itouch gen5 - however, i noticed that it was acting up in such a way that i was having difficulty swiping the screen and even tapping the icons. Is the only option for charging is the USB charger/connector? Or is there a specific device that I should use?

iOS 6.0.1

iPhone 5 and the 5th gen iPod touches are having this problem without a charger, and will probably be fixed in the 6.1 update. See http://www.imore.com/iphone-5-touchscreen-behaving-badly-under-multiple-rapid-sw ipes

That being said - does this mean that I will be experiencing the issue until a fix is ready?

Pretty much, you could try swapping it for a new one, but the issue could be even worse. I've also heard on other forums, that having the iPod in a cooler environment can help.

"that having the iPod in a cooler environment can help" - this is interesting. Literally "cooler environment"?

I don't think that swapping the device for a new one (in the Phils) is as easy as in other countries. But I'll go to the app store and see what my options are.
