Ok on my k750i my joystick has a mind of its own. On some days it works extremely good. If i press left it goes left etc. On most days its just anoyying. To move down i have to pull my joystick down as hard as i can just to move it. To move left i have to pull it to the left like hell or press it a million times. Who else has this problem. If so is there any solution to solving this. [addsig]

my joystick started having the same problems the topic starter was experiencing... took it back to service (was under warranty)... problem was solved...

however, in the past few weeks, the problems are back... i'm out of warranty.. so i'll have to check to see how much the problem costs... it is an intermittent problem, some days it works perfectly well... not sure if its a software or an actual part problem...

tips on cleaning the joystick would be good... i just push down the end of a squashed tissue into the hole, and do circles...

to clean the joystick it may be good the compressed air cans, the ones that we use to clean computer keybords etc.
i didn't need to clean my joystick yet though, it's just a thought.

Just a thought..............but anything with a recess will attract dust - it's a fact of life. I use a silicon case on my K750i but the joystick is still exposed. I can recommend Isopropyl Alcohol for cleaning a phone, particually before replacing a case as it's a proven grime beater. If you buy a cheap CD cleaning disk or get the fluid from a VCR cleaning tape, nine times out of ten, the active ingredient is Isopropyl Alcohol.
