YES!...Yet another trackball issue but MAYBE DIFFERENT?!?!?
- Hi i bought my tour about a month ago from a sales rep (outside of bell mobility) therefore i have no warranty. I am now having trackball issues.. scrolling left to right is not working HOWEVER i can feel a rough spot when this occurs.. almost feels like something is stopping the ball from turning. Is this the usual case with the regular trackball problems or is this something different that can be addressed with a simple trackball cleaning from the inside?
Also is it best to replace with a curve trackball...have noticed a few threads talking about them but havent really seen a definitive answer..
Thanks guys09-30-09 05:36 PMLike 0 - Try this first before going any further.
1) Press the lock button on the top of the phone
2) Press the trackball in hard
3) While holding down, roll ball left and right
4) Unlock and test
May need to repeat more then once09-30-09 06:12 PMLike 0 -

A lot of the folks complaining about their trackball issues have had that fix work for them. I do it once in a while just to keep it clean when it starts acting like yours and it fixes is very well. I work with my hands alot sooo, ultimately the ball is gonna get a bit of dirt and grime on it. That's life but there is a fix lol.09-30-09 06:15 PMLike 0 - almost feels like something is stopping the ball from turning.
