All of a sudden, the scroll wheel on my device will barely move at all. It's only a week old so I guess i'll take it back. Anyone know of a way to fix it?
Did u push it in to hard? and got it stuck try wiggling it around a little and spinning it around a little bit harder.

So i've been using my hermes since december i think but my scroll wheel has been acting wierd since day 1 and was wondering if anyone else experiences the same thing.
Basicly as i scroll down the page (or whatever i'm scrolling) jumps up.
It looks like for every 2 clicks down i get one click up... anyone else having this issue? should i send it in for warranty repair?
I get that randomly and I have seen it reported before. Not aware of anything possible to fix it though.

my scroll wheel has been playing up a month after i got it and now i don't even bother to use it since its useless and irritatingly so ie. you scroll down and the cursor goes up!
oh well, just ignore it till i upgrade to the next phone

yah i was thinking along the same lines... posted this cuz i was curious to how many are seeing this and if i should send it in for warranty repair...
mine works, but i feel the quality is poor.
I have to be EXTREAMLY carfull when i press the scrol wheel in that it doesn't scroll up or down as its being pressed in!
the quality when compared to a blackberry scroll is IMHO very very poor.
I have similar problem. I can scroll down without problems (and very exactyl), but scrolling upward need 2-3 times more finger action (and is not ecact too, sometimes jumps 1 line up or down).
First I thougt its hardw
re related (maybe dirt in the wheel) but after a hardreset its gone. But comes back after some software is installed.
Thats really bad, because the scroll wheel is the key for 1 hand usage!
Why HTC can not use Sonyericson (P900) type of wheel?
I have the same problem but it started after 5 months of my i-mate JasJam usage. I went to warranty claim center and they boot it up with clean installation. It seems work for some hours fine then again started to skip the lines of selection. Till now I am also searching for solution coz I can't go again and again to that place its far away man. I think it is neither hardware problem nor software problem. The thing is its flop and HTC has removed it from their new device HTC Touch.
This jog system came in Sony (not Sony Ericcson) mobile and it failed to take share in market even .000001 %. Now you will not find any device with this thing coz dust make it weak to sense and if I am not wrong just recall the 70's and 80's radio transisters
Decrease sensitivity?
Scroll wheel is perfect thing, but I experience same issues as mentioned above. I think that if possible to decrease it's sensitivity (maybe registry value or some more dirty software hack) will make it more precise and without counter movements (up instead of down or moving during push).
My opinion is that scroll wheel is order of magnitude better way of control than sliding with fingers over screen (iPhone is spreading this stupidity all over and designers are blindly copying that).
So, anyone that is capable of decreasing Hermes scroll wheel sensitivity?
My problem with the scroll wheel is that in a program or settings list, it scrolls up and down but jumps and doesn't go across first, then down.
The softkey on my keyboard popped up and will not go down!!!! help!!!
Well I had to take the phone apart to get the key to go down... Talk about stressfull the phone is a week old and I had to take it apart. Well anyones everything went ok minus my screens light will go out for a second or two while im typing or when i flip the phone open the screen changes right away but the light takes a few seconds to turn on. Is there any reason why the phone would do this? I thought I might of messed up a connector but the screen will rotate it just takes a while for the light to catch up... Any ideas?
looks like a loose connector(loosing light when pulling the keyboard)
Yeah but I just checked out the other thread and it seems there are a lot of people who have this issue.
I'm having some weird issues with my touch screen. I'm using the Touch Keyboard input method so I can use my thumbs for typing instead of using the stylus all the time.
Very frequently, when i use my thumbs to push buttons near the bottom middle or bottom left of the screen, the start menu auto pops up! It is absolutely driving me mad! I tried to recalibrate the screen, doesn't help. I tried to take off the screen protector and try again, no difference.
Has anyone else has this happen?
Hi,
Yes, it's a common Problem with the Trintiy.
But be happy, that you don't have these Problems.
I have heard, that there are Problems, when the device heats up and the casing pushes on the top-left corner. But with my Trin it only occurs, when I'm tiping something and push a little bit to hard in the middle of the screen. But it doesn't disturb me too badly, as long as it won't get worse.

So it's more of a design issue than anything else? Damnit! I was hoping there'd be some sort of fix or that it was just my phone that was defective somehow.
Sigh, I've never noticed this problem until I started using the soft part of my fingers to type.
Anyways, thanks for your reply.

Thanks very much to mikechannon once again.
Hi, seems I'm asking for a bit of help lately
Anyway on my qwerty keypad the letters U and O have to be pressed harder than all the others otherwise they won't register, I mean hard enough to slow down my typing quite a bit. I have pulled the phone apart many times and played with the keyboard position, put bits of paper in between the membrane and pop buttons etc.
When I first opened it up I noticed that the keyboard PCB was sitting above the hook looking piece of plastic holding it down and the board had been ever so slightly warped from this, I have since rectified this but the keys still need pressing hard.
Any ideas? Anyone with a similar problem?
EDIT: This is the Hermes I got from ebay second hand BTW.

Hey guys so recently my GS5 has been acting all messed up.
The bottom of the screen has been really un-responsive and every now and then, the phone starts freaking out, tapping a bunch of things. (for example, if the keyboard is open, it would click on every key a bunch of times near the bottom)
My phone is almost un-usable now. The only thing that could have messed it up is that once I was playing around with a suction cup on my screen, could that have messed it up?
If so, what should I do to fix it?
Thanks
