PlayStation®Vita Technical Help

[taz546565]

hi i am having a major problem with my vita where the right stick does not register/is slow responding pushing right i have rang playstation and they had me restart the unit and it persisted eventually when turned back on then rang them again and had to recalibrate the sticks which worked for about twenty mins then the problem returned making games unplayable.they have offered to replace the unit which is great but is this a known issue what is the cause my vita is incredibly well looked after and is in a official sony case.

Hi taz546565,

I have only seen a few threads regarding analogue stick problems since the Vita came out so you would be quite unlucky to experience this again with a replacement unit.

nice i did see other people mention the case its kept in being the problem however i use the official sony case and its empty of contents other than the vita so theres zero pressure on the sticks at all so hopefully its just mines a one off very impressed with sonys warranty care though they did not mess me around tried their best to sort it out over the phone and when that failed promptly sorted the replacement to be sent.

Are all games like that or just one? Unharted demo has input lag on right stick for some reason. Is your system updated?

I wouldn't be surprised at all if your analog/s are failing because i have found some threads about issues by googling. I have played about 300-400H with my vita and games are: Dissidia 012, shinobido 2, monster hunter freedom unite, god eater burst, disgaea 2 and silver star harmony. I have used analogs for every game i have played and my left stick is quite loose. Its making my ocd pretty bad lol.

There's 2 things which gives people most issues and they are analog sticks and triggers.I think that there are many units shipped to eu/us/uk which have some hardware faults. Squeaky triggers can be fixed very easily but analogs can't and should be replaced.

I've been playing several Vita titles which make extensive use of the analogue sticks and L and R buttons and can say I have had no problems whatsoever. If you are experiencing issues then I would suggest contacting support and seeing if they can do anything for you about replacing it.

In future I would also suggest being gentle(r) as it takes barely any pressure on buttons to get a response

hey dude i`ve been experiencing the same issue & tbh i think its software related than hardware,first time it happend was on uncharted golden abyss,a vita reset seemed to fix it ,then it happened on the weekend playing gravity rush up ,down & left would work as normal but right would go really slow,again ,turned the vita off & on fixed the issue then it happened a day or so later on motorstorm rc ,i couldn turn right properly ,it would turn really slow so reset it again & its been ok since,but am curious why its happening & if its a fw issue or game issue,

btw its a 3G  vita on current 1.69 fw update

i should also ad that it happens after the game`s been paused & i`ve gone into another app like friends or trophies & then back into the game.

to strangeplaice i do play gently with the analogues i've lived through the n64 days where they had 1 bloody awfull analogue so i know what im doing and tbf its not really been played with that much and opiumgod i contacted sony about this and explained it through with them and they themselves told me to send it in as it sounds like a hardware fault i cant live with it doing that cant play any games properly.

I remember those! I'm still too scared to get Goldeneye back out out of fear of obliterating my remaining controllers.
If they're offering to take it though I wouldn't hesitate to send it in.

[taz546565]

its at sonys technical centre now being looked at so we shall see.
