I have had my iPod touch for about 9 months. A few months after I bought it, I dropped it on concrete. The screen cracked but my iPod is still usable. Up until recently, the battery has been perfectly fine, but a few days ago it started dying REALLY fast. I would be on it for about 10-15 minutes and I would get a 20% battery warning. Is there any way I can fix this? Would resetting it help?
iPod touch (4th generation), iOS 6.1.5
Resetting may help, won't hurt anything. But knowing that you have other damage it may behoove you to take your iPod to an Apple Genius Bar and have it checked out, make sure to call for an appointment. Good luck.
Try:
- 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. Already suggested
- Restore from backup. See:
- 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.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.
A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

Fix the iPod yourself if you are up to it
