[QUOTE="MadScience2006, post: 144685, member: 1356"] Was this after wiping the device clean by restoring it (NOT from a previous backup but as a NEW device)? In other words, the device is as you just took it out of the box. If so, then I'd venture to say it's a hardware issue and the device needs to be exchanged if you still can. At the same time, if it does this ONLY in TPA, it makes it questionable about being bad hardware. You might want to poke around the App Store and see if there is some sort of app that will allow you to test the touchscreen to see if any of the touch regions quit for a second...but in my experience, I don't believe I've ever seen such an app. Something may exist but I have personally never heard of one. You might want to Google this as trying to find an app of that sort will not be easy searching in the App Store itself. It'll be even harder to find something if your device is NOT jailbroken. If your reported outcome is based on wiping out TPA only and NOT restoring the device as new, doing that would be the next step in the process. EDIT: Looking at your video, it appears that you have could have *two* bad flipper solenoids...or more likely, two bad flipper switches...:p [/QUOTE]
