apparently, all problems with se joystics are caused by the pocket dirt. that's why they work incorrectly from time to time and then, out of the blue, they repair themselves and seem ok. waiting is the best solution to the problem although when it happens too often and/or doesn't change for too long, take it to the service. of course if you happen to have a warranty.

my T616 has little fits where the joystick decides to be slow or unresponsive for days on end. I started using number shortcuts on the icon desktop and the plus and minus buttons on the side to navigate menus and webpages. Now I find I actually use my phone faster since I started using keys other than the joystick. and with less usage it tends to act up less often.

I should be getting a P910a so this issue will go away soon.

Why not just open up your phone, clean out the clumps of dust, and reassemble the phone back. Worked for me. I foud a WHOLE lot of dist in there.

Hi I have a solution.

I had a problem with my t630 joystick to. It did not respond at all loads of times.
Well I ran to the store bought WD40 (loads of other stuff you can use that to like crackling volume controls.).
You open your phone:
this is dutch put it contains excelent pistures http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/942139
the top is the hardest to open.
With a screw driver you just lift it up a bit. Now SLIDE the top of.

once you know it is easy.

For the rest remove the keyboard and the joystick button. Now drop a couple of drops onto your joystick and press and play with it for a bit so the WD40 can sink in. Clean up all the mess on the side so that it is good and dry.
After 20 minutes put back together your phone again and for me it worked like a charm again. Like it was new.

PLease note that I am not responsible for any broken phones trying this out. I think it is safe and for me it worked perfectly. But be carefull with spilling wd40 as it is conductive. Also do not USE the CAN spray. Spray a bit on a stick so you can make small drops and put that on the joystick....

Good luck....

I can report in 3 t610 phones, my and of 2 mates of mine. My case is almost paradoxal- i really handled it gently, and mostly use numpad and shortcuts, never play games on it and it started to fail up direction after 3-4 months. My mate abused his phone for 18 months (he only didn't use it as a skateboard i think :-]) and now his joystick works better than mine :-[. How come?

my k500i's got a bit dodgy after a few months (after playing breakout more weeks) and the down had to be pressed harder, but after a while it started working normally again.
