My ipod feature on the phone keeps cutting out while at the gym. The phone and headphones have both been replaced, yet the problem contunes.

I have the original phone with extended warrenty. The Apple Store recently replaced the phone yet the problem persists. The problem occurs on all playlists but only at the gym. While docked in my stereo at work, no problems. At the gym I use the elyptical and place the phone in the storage bin covered in a towel to avoid moisture. I can only assume the unit is over heating. Very frustrating.

In fact, something very similar happened to me with a Microsoft Zune and I eventually was able to diagnose the problem. It was static elecricity! As I continued my repetitive motion (like an elliptical or a treadmill), I built up significant amounts of static electricity that were transfered through the headphones to my Zune, causing it to turn off or reset.

Hope this experience is similar enough to be of help to you! (I fixed this by using higher quality headphones, by the way, and also avoid touching the iPod while working out)

I have the same problem i think it is because the weights around you are iron and when your iphone comes in contact with there magnetic pull the ipod pice of your ipod dies due to the ion battery witch dose not interact well with iron.
