Splash screen on iPhone4 shifts

I am working on an iOS app and for some reasons the splash screen shifts a few pixels up or stretches ( it's hard to tell) upon start up. This is only happening on my iPhone 4 devices. I noticed that if I set my app to fullScreen (no status bar on top on the phone for battery life etc), there is no shifting.

Also, no issues on iPhone 5.

I've checked the image size of my Default.png splash screen and they are 640 x 960.

Thanks!

Can you post a screenshot or two? – Zaphod
Are you saying that you have a splash screen that matches your apps background (in your xib file) and it is shifting or are you saying that while the Default.png is showing it shifts... – Albert Renshaw
Your Default.png shouldn't shift at all... if it matches something behind it in the xib it might give the allusion of a jump. – Albert Renshaw
Thanks for your replies. Please see the comments below. Any ideas on that? – m.y

To do this right, you really should have more than one Default file:

Default.png (320 x 480) for support of the original iPhone thru iPhone 3GS

[email protected] (640 x 960) for support of the iPhone 4 and 4S

[email protected] (640 x 1136) for support of the iPhone 5

Trying to use one Default for all different sized screens might technically work, but you certainly won't get the best quality.
