Anybody else getting a screeching sound when doing twist for scrolling? Like a kid trying to play a clarinet. If "Yes" does it ever go away?

I'd get it sometimes. What I did was buy some Pledge, put a tiny amount on an old cloth, and spread/polish the trackball with it. You have to repeat this every few months. Alternatively, just roll it around in your hand and let the oils from your skin act like a lubricant.

Yes... the scrolling is done the same way. It seems that it scrolls on its own, but it's just how your holding it. You can stop the scrolling by left clicking. Hopefully I have answered your question.

Many of these 'nrtbooks' make that sound. Some are just louder than others. For me, that sound does not bother me as much as fan noise. That will make it or break it for me. But I know the 'ticking' on and off can get annoying too.

I have this mouse and the wheel does not turn smoothly but has slight stopping clicks. This scroll wheel in my experience is garbage. Trying to scroll to read and it constantly jumps up and down only to return to the same position no matter how may spins and clicks. Only way to scroll is very slowly and deliberately. Make me want to throw into a wall.

When your music is on push the 'menu' button twice. Not too fast. The second push should show 'Random' that is your shuffle. If that doesn't work then when you push menu and it shows folders...then scroll with the right side of the button and it should go to the second page to show 'Random and Intro' scroll to Random and hit 'menu' and it will show a "R" with an arrow at the top, then you know you are in shuffle mode. Hope you can play with it and get it figured out. it took me lots of time to figure it out, It works great for what I got it for. It can be a real pain sometimes. It can be inconsistent at times.

perfect timing, answer is 'not for long'. scroll has failed already. right click is malfunctioning. nice mouse while it lasted. will not buy another.

Ivan I have air play issues. It could be just my rauter location. The amazing sound makes up for the air play issues. Buy it.

I guess I don't understand what you mean by "screech." Mine just glide without any noise when scooting. Perhaps it's the type of wooden floor. Do you have wooden floors or laminate? Maybe that's the difference, I don't know.

No and I'm on my second. If you push on the scroll wheel, that might make it behave strangely. Or maybe it is your OS?

It screams when it lands. I think the impact sets it off. It will not scream at all if you do not remove the tab after you get it. It you stick something into where the tab was, you can probably get it to stop screaming when it lands.

I love my sound twist, do not habe these problems. Make sure your volume is up all the way on your device, then manage volume from speaker.

Yes...I'm hearing a "beeping" electronic sound too. I actually returned my frist Flip due to software errors and also this noise problem. I just got a new one in the mail and it's making the noise too. Not as loud as the other one, but it's still there....and very annoying! If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please reply. Thanks!!!!

Yep, same here. My original unit used to work with occasional screeching sound.. Replacement worked for a week, then screeching came back and now disconnects as soon as I try playing something...

My scrolling with the mouse wheel is very steady with no choppiness. Possibly you might try to change your mouse settings to either more lines or less lines of movement for each scroll. Hope that helps.

Geologist is correct, I think. It is a processing power issue. I have an old single-core Pentium 2.4GHz and no matter which player I try, I get stopping and starting when playing back.Strangely enough, I've had much better results by uploading the videos to the FlipShare website and playing them from there! I guess they must be compressing them somehow, which is ordinarily a bad thing but in this case allows you to see them without the "stuttering" in the playback.
