ok, so i did all methods i read here on this great forum, minus actually removing the damn ball..over time i lost even the 'gritty ness' feel of the ball itself..i did alcohol,air blowing...i even somehow dislodged a gasket that sat under the ball housing using the paper method where you go into the balls housing or whatever...
so the ONLY method i thought was stuopd and didnt try was the one where you take your phone, place it ball side down on a regular piece of white paper (flat on desk), and roll it around with slight pressure..this method worked best and even gave me back the feel of the original griityness... and im a HEAVY user logginf easily 6000 texts a month and a BUNCHA kb's of info..lol..
