Bookmark topic
I've the W800i for about six months. As you see this thread is for it's joystick. Mine still works perfectly, but I've read manu threads (including this and other forums) which says or asks about W800i joystick that makes problems. So those of you who own a W800i, I would be glad to know which is your thinking about the joystick. How long do you use it and does it make problems?

I also want to ask you, if it is going to stop working for about a year. Today I've read that the w800i joystick start to make problems for about 12 months. Mine has 6, I care for it like a baby, but still I use it veeeeeeery often and for a long time.

had my W800 for a year now, the orange pad in the centre of the joystick is long gone
The down direction is occasionally delayed now, so i guess its getting old.. or perhasp just dirty inside, not sure i fancy stripping a W800 to clean it, or replacing the joystick.

Thanks for reporting. I found a solution for the orange rubber in the middle of the joystick. Maybe it is silly but it works for me. I went to the green market a month ago to buy something for home, but I saw a guy who was selling tapes, clothes, batteries, clocks and etc... He had Super Glue. The glue I use to put the things together. The glue of my life
. I used it once for my bicycle brake and til that day it has 3 years gone and the brake is working perfect. A GOD for plastic materials. And I filled joystick middle with it and put on the rubbet tip. From that day, no one can take it off the joystick, ot even God. I'm joking. It is very strong., so I think it will never fall of again, but the only thing that worries me is the joystick directions.
Thanks

766 sms and 3 mms
81 hrs of talk time.
Still wondering how?

Marvy. I think your love for the phone and my are the same level. But I've taken about 4500 pictures in half a year. But my worring was about the joystick. It is nothing unusual and unnormal for me in the way you've used your phone. It is like it has to be, cuz there are some people who break their phones down much earlier.

U're right!!
I guess am a little too lucky and careful to have a perfect w800. I hope it will get along for another year as well.

My dad says, If you use your device(no matter if it is phone or anything else) properly, as the factory says, It will work for a life. I think he's absolutely right.
