> Sick of Your K750/W800 Joystick Yet?
Bookmark topic
When i had my k700 i never once had a problem with my joystick...but since getting my k750 in august , im completely sick and tired of having to put up with my joystick not wanting to go in certain directions...currently it won't go up or right:(
It seems so many people share this problem of 'dust' getting under the joystick...why is it such a problem on this phone particularly, can se not manage to create a joystick which doesent let dust under it?

I know many have these problems, but cant say why.
Personally I have never experienced joystickproblems on any of my S//E phones, neither on my sons S//E phones. All our S//E joystick phones through time from T310/T68i, T610, K700 up to K750/W800 still are in pefect functioning order.

i had a k500 and indeed it had a lot of dust under the joystick, but on the w800 i hope i won't have the same problem ... cuz i don't want to go to a service to get it cleaned every 2-3 months

I found that if I give the games a real lashing, the joy stuffs up so I've learnt to be more gentle on it. Once you learn to use it gently it recovers and works like normal. I don't know why, but this has happened to mine. It recovers if I don't hammer it so hard in games.
I'm guessing that with heavy pressure the joystick somehow becomes separated from the contact, but once used for a while with lighter pressure it reattaches or re-seals or something.
Now that I've got the pressure right, it doesn't stuff up anymore. I wonder if that gells with other peeps exerience?

My V600i joystick is fine at the moment but i am totally anticipating it phutting out. My K750i one felt much sturdier, you guys should be be pleased with yours! The K600/08/V600 ones are stubbly and smooth metal so its harder to use. The K750 ones are fantastic, W800 come in second place.
I think, reading and viewing all the new rumours, Sony Ericsson might be moving away from joystick. I hope they are. Or they could at least sort out the problem with joysticks.

I've experienced this problem on both the K700 and K750. Beyond dismantling the phone with a T6 (which I'm too scared to try), I haven't found any other viable solution.

My joystick on my W800i is fine, it is the first time I have had a joystick phone and I quite like it, although it is possible to make the occassional mistake. I just hope after a few months or so my joystick doesnt befold the same fate as many people's have on this board.
