K800i Joystick Problem...Firmware?

Hi,
I recently bought a K800i, from day one the joystick has given problems, up and left have always been without problem, but down and right...are driving me mad! First no response only a beep. Then after pushing the joystick relatively hard it works! I turn the phone off and back to square one. I opened the phone.... the joystick is pretty well sealed with a rubber boot; using a meter the joystick is ok.
Now I’m thinking that it is firmware related, I flashed the phone to a K810.the joystick worked 100%! But Camera and Gallery gave problems. (No access) I have reflashed back to the original software and the problem with the joystick has returned..........
Any ideas...........?
Or a working firmware would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance Chris

Never heard of firmware related joystick problems. Your issue sounds quite strange to me. You should flash back to the original firmware and send it back to the place where you bought it.

Thanks for your quick answer...

It was strange, with K800 Firmware I had the problems with the Joystick,
with K810 MCU + FS..Joystick worked fine but no Camera Gallery etc.
So mix "n" match works fine!

I have just reflashed it again...
RED52\K810_R1KG001_MAIN_GENERIC_SM_RED52.bin
RED52\K800_R1KG001_FS_EUROPE_2_RED52.bin
And my problem is solved....

Works fine.
No problems what so ever, Keypad lights ok,
Joystick.ok, Camera etc. all fine.

I don't know the history of this phone, only that I bought it from a dealer on Amazon.de as New, when I received the phone it had O2 software branding but no Simlock, plus a receipt from the first buyer! So in essence I was the third owner, Local O2 shop didn't want to know, seller had bought it in good faith from eBay!! And I must wait 10days before I can claim under Amazon.de's warranty

Hello

Joystick problems is 90% from the Joystick itself ..

You can check it by disassemble the phone and try to drop few drops of alcohol on the Joystick and work with it in many directions ..

Then re-assemble and test if the work is better then it is better to replace it to be 100% operational.

Like raffi said: Joystick problems is 90% from the Joystick itself ..

Take it to service center.

Nice day
