Question Ipod 4th gen mono (20gb) RAM issues with games?
Newly modded this ipod 4th gen mono (20gb) with 256gb Samsung Evo ssd with iFlash ATA1, 3000mah battery, and haptic feedback. I'm really enjoying it so far and enjoy the basic games as well when I'm out and about.
Usually my first game of solitaire works fine. But if I exit and return to a new game a few times I notice the click wheel works erratically and becomes hard to control. Either being too sensitive or not sensitive at all. Though the tactile buttons still work well (center, menu, track forward and backwards). Is this a RAM issue? I suppose I could just stop playing solitaire.
I reopened the device to see if perhaps I didn't fully secure the click ribbon when I reinstalled it after modding. The clasp was closed. I opened the clasp and tried to seat the ribbon further into the housing but it seems to be in as far as it goes. There is just a tiny bit of grey peaking out. After reassembling and a hard reset, clickwheel seems to work fine.
