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 :)

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

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.
