joystick will not work Jun 28 2007, 10:27 AM EDT my 2125 is useless as anything other than a phone. i can no longer read or add contacts (w/o using outlook & syncing) or move anywhere because the joystick appears to be the only way to get anywhere. there do not appear to be menu options to bypass this problem! i am hearbroken - i raved about this phone to everyone and now... this problem of course came about just after 1 yr warranty expired and cingular did not offer insurance option.. so sad! 3 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: joystick will not work Jul 20 2007, 7:53 PM EDT same deal here. i love this phone and have gotten around using the joystick with most things but scrolling through e-mails and webpages still is a pain. i wish they wouldn't use a joystick and just use a simple navigation pad like on the cingular 3125.

RE: joystick will not work Aug 29 2007, 3:22 AM EDT This is due to dirt accumulating around the joystick over time. You can fix this by blowing onto the joystick really hard or using an airgun to blow the dust from the crevices around the joystick. Do this a few times, and you will be surprised that this fixes the problem! Also, you can use the Smartscroll freeware to use the keypad to suppliment the joystick for navigation. 3 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: joystick will not work Oct 7 2007, 10:19 PM EDT I've had the same issue with my phone. I'm on my 3rd handset. Fortunately they've been warranty repairs thus far, but now my warranty has expired. I hope my phone limps along for a few more weeks until I can find another phone I like. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: joystick will not work Jan 9 2008, 10:34 AM EST Did you ever get this fixed. If not, I just cracked my screen and am looking for a non-functioning phone for parts. [email protected] Do you find this valuable? |

RE: joystick will not work Jan 14 2008, 10:11 AM EST Yep it is a dirt issue, I was about to toss my phone and then I got it working again and this is what I did. I blew out the area with a can of air, this didn't do the trick fully, I then started really jamming the joysick around using my thumbnail. I had problems going scrolling down I kept doing this and it started to work a little. I then shot more air into the phone and sure enough it started to work. Good luck to the rest of you!

RE: joystick will not work May 20 2008, 12:28 AM EDT The joystick needs a floating lubricant for contact and it dries out over time. I used a wd-40 equilvalent for electronics called Corrosion X. You need a cocktail toothpick with a sharp point. You do not need much lubricant, just enough to wet the tip of your toothpick. Apply around the based of your joystick. Work the joystick and you will see improvements as the lubricant gets down into the contact socket. Lasts 6 to 12 months. Then redo again. Do you find this valuable? |
