does this happen to anyones joysticks?:

if u press either up or down with a bit more amount of force as usual, it'll go up or down normally then you'll feel a slight click. After that if u look at it CAREFULLY it has shifted up SLIGHTLY to an upper or lower position.

If u repeat the joystick move to the vice-versa direction as in the first step, you'll fell another click and the joystick will have repositioned itself.

You wouldn't be able to tell until you got it open, try it. I haven't opened mine...yet...so can't really say. Have a go, you can always take it back

I have the same problem. My first T68 didn't have this problem, and the joystick worked perfectly. Then i got the phone replaced, and the new one behave exactly the same way as you describe. It also seems to me that the new phone's joystick is much less precise than the first one i had...

Be careful when you open your phone. My SP called it "warranty void"

How do you mean? You opened your phone and the phone knew? or what? P.s. how did you open it? I got the 2 Torx6 screws out and then nothing? Do i need to pull off the top bit? if so how - cheers

you can tell from the screws that it's been opened, you'll have to change the screws everytime you open it, or they will loose it's colour
