When I play Asphalt 8 racing game, I have to tilt the ipod touch 5g so much, it doesn't make sense. When I tilt the device, the car won't turn all the way. I think there's a malfunction because I turned the accelerometer/gyro sensitivity all the way up, and it still isn't sensitive enough. Thanks
iPod touch
maybe the accelerometer is defective
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.

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:
- Delete the app and reinstall it.

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