BlackBerry smartphone trackball doesn't scroll upwards or downwards.

The track ball on my BB Curve 8330 Scrolls left and right, but not upwards or downwards, which really limits my use of it. I tried to take out the battery, clean the ball with alcohol, turning off and back on. The ball seems loose - not sticky. Would appreciate any help!

Thank you!

I got my BB to the store where they replaced the trackball for $10, and he now works as it should. As my warranty has expired for a long time, I was happy with that. Panic at the wire.

  • BlackBerry smartphone Trackball does not scroll down

    I'll start by saying the "push down and highlight" method has worked for me on the first 20 times.  Now, I think that its just making it worse. I tried to roll/pressing in the same direction and for some reason, I have problems make him down. Are there patches of others, or ways to get inside of the open ball so that maybe I can check if the contacts need cleaning?

    I called AT & T, and they sent me a refurbished phone. The package, they sent me included all done, a new phone. New battery, new case, charger, new everything, even the phone itself was in perfect condition. Not a scratch or ding on it.  Total cost was $ 12 for FedEx shipping, and they pay to my old phone in return of mail.

    If anyone out there has problems with their phone as if I were I recommend this. I have been very reluctant to give up my "BOLD", but after receiving this new one I have no regrets.  With Desktop Manager, I went to my normal use of BB in a few minutes.  Thank you AT & T.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Help! Trackpad goes upward / downwards when checking for messages!

    My trackpad usually up and down by checking the text messages and whatsapp, but it works normally when checking messages... as it can move up and down in the menu and the internet page, can someone tell me how to fix it? thanksssssss!

    Hello helasws and welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums.

    Sorry to hear that you are having problems with your trackpad.

    To clarify, it doesn't seem to stop the scrolling upwards or downwards when you are in the Messages folder and WhatsApp? On the main home screen you are able to navigate vertically?

    Did you do a restart again by removing the battery?

    Try to perform a Diagnostic self test, as shown in KB16037 using the Self Test application on the BlackBerry smartphone to test the response of the trackpad.

    Let me know the results of the test.

    Thank you!

  • Touchpad on the laptop does not scroll upwards or downwards

    The touchpad on the laptop does not scroll upwards or downwards, I was offline for 5 weeks that my router broke out between the change of operator, so I had to wait for another.
    When I was on the touch pad was'nt working properly. I can't do a system restore, because that would be the former provider. Ideas anyone please?

    First, check the scrolling settings in the advanced settings of Touchpad.

    If they are enabled, uninstall the mouse/keyboard 3rdparty as Logitech or Microsoft and Watcom drivers that may have installed you.

    If it's no good, uninstall the Toshiba touchpad driver, then download and install the latest version.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones without keyboard screen scroll

    I just got my BB Storm yesterday and maybe return.  I found that some software does not work on it because she needs another way to scroll and I can't use it without a trackball. Is it possible to use it without using the touch screen.  I know that's the beauty of this new phone but its useless with most of the software.  And I thot I saw advertised with the possibility of using YouTube in the United States, I had to screw not UK.  Perhaps rturn to my BB Curve

    Anyone else disappointed?  Or someone has found a solution to these quirks and if so please share your tips from TIA

    Not been caught in the STORM again!

    You must set the compatibility mode for the software you are using as it has not been developed for the storm yet. See the following article for more information about compatibility mode:

  • BlackBerry smartphone Trackball is broken

    Today the trackball on my 8220 steadily to go to the right.  I go to a T-Mobile tomorrow store to swap out.  Physically, it moves to the right.  My fingers sliding on top but the ball doesn't move.  It works well to go left or up and down, but not right.  It's discouraging.  I've been playing with it, learn how a BlackBerry works and finally get the hang of it.

    Is it something unusual or are they subject to rupture?  I don't want to go back, but I can't have a phone that breaks.

  • BlackBerry smartphone Trackball sticks sometimes

    Y at - it something that I can blow into the area of the trackball because sometimes it sticks. In general, I have to move where I can to loosen upwards and which works after awhile. I heard that you can blow air with a can that be clean watches so I thought who could work with that?

    Well I ended up finding there is a setting somewhere in the "BOLD" to change the sensitivity of the trackball. So glad I found it today after months of frustration. I was looking for something else and found. Now, I don't remember where. Basically it upwards or decrease responsiveness if you want;

  • BlackBerry smartphone Trackball does not properly

    I bought my 8800 1 year, 2 months ago - ideally past the 1 year warranty.  My trackball works in all directions except for left which seems very strange.  It is impossible to call the RIM without them charge me something to talk with them and Cingular / AT & T says there is nothing they can do that the phone is no longer under warranty.  Any ideas?

    Thank you

    The same thing happened to me. My trackball moved to the top, left and right... but not down. Big problem! So I google "blackberry trackball" and found this link useful:

    Clicking nor scrolling work.

    Thoughts?

    Greatly appreciate the input.
