Re: Blackberry Tour Track Ball

I've been reading up on the forums about the Tour Trackball issues and just wanted to share that my Trackball isn't working well even after applying all the fixes.

 

Last weekend I upgraded the OS through the Desktop Manager (About now says I'm on v4.7.1.61 (Platform 4.1.0.83).  For the next 48 hours it was like night and day - the Trackball worked extremely well.  Then it went down-hill again.

 

Up-down is fine.  Left-right is painful.

 

I have powered down and pulled the battery for a minute - same lousy trackball.

 

I've done the *228 option 2 (not sure how that would solve an issue with a trackball) - same lousy trackball.

 

This is not a sensitivity issue - as for the first month or so that I had the Blackberry it was great.  For about 48 hours after I did the upgrade it was great.

 

Now it's just lousy again - to scroll over one icon might take 5-10 swipes.

 

Sometimes, being very very gentle works - but not always.

 

I'm about to give up - Love the Blackberry - Can't stand the trackball.  Never had issues like this on the Curve.
