iPod touch Problems

I'm posting this here because I know that I'll get pretty sharpish advice.

I have a G1 iPod touch, and the other day I upgraded the software to 3.0. When connected to my PC I use an official iPod Universal Dock.

However, since upgrading to OS 3.0, I've noticed that occasionally my volume slider vanishes completely, rendering me completely unable to control the volume on my device. The problem doesn't go away even when I turn off the device, unplug it, then turn it on again. I find that it takes a lot of fiddling around with restarting and cold booting the device will bring the slider back.

I really don't know what to do about the problem, it never did anything like this when I was in OS 2.2.1 - instead of getting a volume slider I get a message under playback controls that reads "Dock Connector" and I once spied a message that popped up when I docked it saying that the dock was unsupported?

If by "works" you mean "strives to p*ss me off" then, yes.

Turns out that I won't be able to get volume playback control on it until I plug headphones or other such audio output to it - don't know why they didn't just leave it the way it always was.

I'm going to try it out a few times and confirm this for sure.

Interesting. The same system that pauses playback when you pull the headphones out coming into play here? Goodness knows why though - unless it's a power saving feature that disables the heaphone amp when there are no headphones in.

I know - but apps will still play sounds even though I won't be able to hear them, and I doubt it saves that much power. Personally I don't know why they feel they have to do this - probably to embarrass my iPod because it doesn't have a speaker.
