Hardware "bugs" should I care? |

Hi.
I RMAed my phone a couple of weeks ago (W800), some of you might have read my thread of the letter I sent to SE's CEOs... so, what I see now is these two things:
1) The joystick isn't PERFECTLY NANOMETRICALLY (?) centered... it's more to the left; it works OK but I think that when pressing left it "clicks" a little softer than in the other directions... maybe if I try too many times to go as soft as I can with pressing, sometimes it moves but doesn't moves on the menu (like if it didn't reached the end...) maybe it's me; I think it's normal since seems to happen with other directions (maybe)
2) The handsfree included may "jiggle" a little from the left, when plugged... I think it may be normal?
Hope I didn't messed up your heads with this post; please tell me not to worry and start enjoying my phone!  Thanks in advance

it's fine, but if it worsens and makes it difficult to use the phone you should get it replaced on warranty (I can't remeber did you have warranty on that?)
If it get's alot worse and no warranty, time to get out the old pen and paper again |

No need to worry
1. The joystick: It doesnt mean anything that its not nanometrically centered, Ive opened up many K750's and W800's at work, and it doesnt matter if its nanometrically centered. The way the joystick is attached to the board, and the way you put on the frontcover, mean thats its often not 100% nanometrically centered. Its only a design issue, not a functional issue in any way. The joystick is fully attached to the board, the frontcover doesnt interact with it as such, it only has a hole where the joystick sticks through.
Should your joystick ever start acting up you are naturally entitled to get it fixed under the normal warranty, but I assure you 100% that if so, it has nothing to do with weather its nanometrically centered or not.
2. Its also quite normal that when you attach the headset or usb cable, it can jiggle a litle in its socket, if thats what you mean.

Yes, but when it got under your skin was it nanometrically centered? |

LOL!
Well... I know that it probably didn't affect the functioning of the joystick... it was just a maniatic thing that I have... for everything to be perfect (specially these gadgets); as the world itself, which it's REALLY perfect... couldn't be better if it tried
Sorry... bad day...

Hey, don't be sorry. It's been an interesting topic. And we've all learnt a new word.
Nanometric. Great word. So many uses. Could well replace "a bee's dick" in common usage |
