They said the same about my k750i.. That it is dust... But I don't think that could be right.
I unscrewed the cover and removed the keypad so I could see the joystick better. What I noticed was that it's just like a switch (you can't see that good because its internal).. So I can't see why it should be dust that causes this problem. What can dust do to block a switch...
WD40 can't go all the way in there (because its internal) so that shouldn't do anything. And I think that that also counts for dust... :/
Go ahead and flame me if you want.. that's just what I think.  I have gotten the same joystick problems and I resolved it by disabling the joystick shortcuts or removing the battery for some time.. It's just a firmware problem with my K750i...
BTW: notice how many people got this problem with "Down" pressing. I don't think dust is that smart to just #@%! it up for the down button.

WD40 does the trick with a cotton bud, I just tried it. So until it needs doing again hurrah!
Of course dust can stop the joystick working, it affects the contacts. The joystick is not protected from dust and therefore its obviously a fault even though SE claimed they had fixed this problem.
Once I fix the screen on my W800i I'm going to try the WD40 trick on that too. |

Guys this problem with the joystick is neither a firmware nor a hardware fault.It is a fault with the the angle of your joystick press.Keep the joystick sound on and try pressing at a slighlty different angle.The press is registered but the menu movement does not take place.The problem is that this is a full 8 axis joystick with 4 switches registering 8 movements.Most games register all the axis movements(thats why they work well).By default our wrong keystroke presses are more possible with the left and down movements(thats just the way our thumb works !!) |

Hi all,
I was today at Sony Ericsson Service point at Sony Ericsson headquarter in Lund in Sweden ..
I was asking about the problem with the joystic and slow menus in K800i .. first they removedformated the whole excisting firmware from it (which already was the latest one but downloaded and installed from SEUS) .. then installed again the latest firmware which they provied .. it took about 15 minutes while i was drinking cofe the phone was ready to be used ..
I noticed different as the service point man told me about before the update, the different is faster menus and better joystic reaction .. and they told me the phones get abit slower when we use SEUS ..
I am telling that, just for information for some people who complain on slower menus and bad joystic reaction ..
Thanks |

Ooh .. by the way
I was telling the service point man about the dust which can come in under the joystic and disturb it function .. he showed me another older K800i without the front, and i saw there is a big washer under the joystic and the main buttoms which not allow any dust to come under.. !!
So dont think about dust no more in K800i .. its a firmware problem actually .. and it could be ILLEGAL firmwares as well .. |

HOW THE BLOODY HELL CAN IT BE ILLEGAL FIRMWARE WHEN PEOPLE WHO HAVE GOT THE PHONE BRAND NEW ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM, AND THE WD40 SOLUTION FIXES IT??? THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO OTHER THREADS ON ESATO THAT MENTION THE UNRESPONSIVENESS OF THE JOYSTICK AND HOW WD40 CURES IT. HAVE ALL THESE PEOPLE GOT ILLEGAL FIRMWARE? I GOT MY PHONE FROM ORANGE. HAVE THEY SOLD ME A PHONE WITH ILLEGAL FIRMWARE? NO!!! ITS BLOODY CRUD UNDERNEATH THE JOYSTICK!!! READ THE OTHER TWO THREADS!!! OF COURSE SE AREN'T GOING TO ADMIT TO A DESIGN FLAW IN THEIR PHONES. ***END OF THREAD*** |

Yo Rajjy stfu. No one cares about your CAPS LOCK replies and how fast you want to close a thread because a cause is found.
Nothing wrong with people posting about similar problems, were just talking here... it is a forums btw. |

If the firmware update fixes the problem then why do I still have it when I have the latest firmware? and why has WD40 fixed this problem?
The joystick issue is a long standing problem with Sony Ericsson phones and it dosnt look like they are coming any closer to fixing it. |

I've had the T68i, T610 and K700i before my current phone, the K800i.... I've never suffered from any unresponisve joystick issues until the K800i.
Weird innit?
Check out this previous thread that discussed the same problem...
