My accelerometer is not calibrated properly

I have an Ipod Touch 3G running iOS 5.1.1

when i try to play any racing game with accelerometer, like temple run for instance, if i keep my itouch on a flat surface, the character just moves to the right.
The accelerometer calibration if totally off and is extremeley difficult to play anything with it,
how do i solve this issue ??

thanx !

iPod touch (3rd generation), iOS 5.1.1

There is not way to calibrate the sensor

Try the following to rule out a software problem:

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Reset all settings

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

- Restore from backup. See:

iOS: How to back up

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
