Buttons unresponsive on iPod 5

[Jacob007]

Sometimes during a game/app (most noticeably Asphalt 7), on my iPod 5 the buttons temporarily become unresponsive and I can't press them for a few seconds. Does this happen to anyone else?

Sounds like a software problem (this always happens only when you're in an app, right?). Did you try to restore the device?

[SkyMuffin]

maybe the delay from logging into game center?

Usually whenever my iDevices stop functioning just right while playing a game, I will just lock the screen, and then when I unlock it's back to normal.

But it also could be a software problem. Just my suggestion on what I do.

Thanks guys. I haven't tried restoring my device yet since I want to use that as an absolute last resort, and I don't think its the delay of logging into Gamecenter because it happens a while after opening the app. I did try locking the screen, but this was only a temporary fix (as much as I noticed). I may have to restore it, because the buttons have been freezing too frequently for me to tolerate.
