There is no way you can buy cypress digitizer for x8, if it comes with phone you are lucky.
Huh??? Its the chip inside?

For those with Synaptics digitizer, yes, it's a sad trouth. The digitizer chip is inside the motherboard, the digitzer board (screen) itself are the same for all X8, but what decodes the touches is the digitizer chip, but it is embended in the PCB.
I'm lucky tough, 'cause my is Cypress
Ha ha ha... guess buying an x8 need luck... lots of them...
This also apply to w8 I assume.

That's lucky for me I have cypress and i have activated dual touch
sent from my xperia x8 using xda premium
Actually, the controller is in the flex cable of the digitizer, not the motherboard
There are lots of sellers on ebay selling the touch panel, one might ask which digitizer they use.
Psyionx, just out of curiosity, what did you think the cypress digitizer was?
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
so it is possible to just buy a touchscreen for X8 with the cypress digitizer to get dualtouch?
Why you think digitizer chip is on PCB? It's not true, show me the proof first.
I've disassembled my X8 and I know it's on touchscreen's flex.
No I just wasn't sure. I accually hoped that the chip is on the flex cable.
I only asked cause I was thinking about getting a new digitizer from ebay or some place to get a cypress digitizer. Is it easy to take the digitizer out of the front cover?

I don't think anyone tried it.. it is glued, i just don't know how much force you need to make to separate it.. Buying a digitizer already with the front cover might be easier..

Ok thank you I'll contact some ebay users and report back here if i have news.
Yeah, it's glued very hard. But if you manage to remove it, you can donate it for trying to develop real dual touch on Synaptics digitizer.
Also I believe the front plastic isn't really digitizer, it's only protecting piece covering the TS, so you might try removing it from the inner side of front cover.
is there any way to see if the digitizer is cypress or synaptics without haveing to put it into a phone?

If that's true maybe it identify the second finger with a digital simulation like with the one of Doixanh, or maybe the chip that is better than the one of the xperia x8, the only thing I want to know is why but why the freaking people of SE doesn't want to put the dual touch feature to this machine, they say hardware limitation bull****, the E15i supports it, and there are phones that are crap in front of this and they have Android 2.2 at least, so what is the problem of SE.
And if you don't believe me that there are crappy phones with 2.2 look at this http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i5500_galaxy_5-3371.php
Ps
I'm just a little pissed off about that xD
ok I found a seller on ebay from the UK
HERE (HERE for germans)
He said they were Cypress (CY8CTMG) ones.
I will buy one and report if it works.

I have a question, is there a way to remove the scratches from x8 screen?
My screen really looks bad and the worst part and that makes me trully sick is that it wasn't even my fault! You know when friends ask you to see your cell and send it straight to the floor? That's it.
Would it help if I used screen protectors now? I heard it disguises it.
Thanks in advance!

if am not mistaken the x8 is scratch resistant,see if u have a screen protector on already,check edges of the screen,its better to put on a screen protector

I don't think it has a screen protector, if it does it isn't noticeable. I remember it came with one but I took that out many months ago.
Thanks anyway
I have screen protector from ebay or dealextreme (not sure any more) and it's almost unnoticeable visualy and touchscreen works with no difference.
If phone came with one already on, I have 2 now and have no problem with that
If you want to change it you only need to change digitizer. It's not too expensive. You can put cypres one for real dual touch if you don't have one now.

Thanks! I'll check fo prices of the digitizer. Mine is synaptics (I think it's called that), do you think cypress is better? I know it has errors with some roms/kernels.
Bro,you will have real dual-touch with cypress:>.

Hi all,
My X8 is currently lying on my table all the time, gathering dust, so I thought it might be fun swapping out the synaptics touchscreen for a cypress one!
I find that the synaptics digitizer feels really flimsy and plasticky, can anyone who's used both give me an indication of how cypress compares? Does the cypress digitizer give it a much more solid feel, and have better touch accuracy? Or is the X8 screen just poorly built?
Thanks.
Maybe there are some minor differences between these two but u wont be able to feel them i mean touch sensitivity, quality etc.
The thing is that cypres digitizer has real dual touch after hacking
Well it is kinda the same. But cypress is better because it really supports Dual Touch and on the Synaptic it doesen't.
Mmm, well I find that my X10 mini pro's screen is very nice to use, and that's cypress. I find my X8's screen not very sensitive, and it just feels... cheap. :/
I'll ask around and see if any of my friends have an X8 with a cypress digitizer.
Its not screens its digitizer.
you need to be swapping digitizers not screens

dualtouch
well,one thing is that you can have real dualtouch/multitouch in cypress.
but our awesome devs are developing synaptic drivers aswell

cypress > synaptics thats true, but with synaptycs you can use only Pinch-To-Zoom in Browser\Gallery. You can use it ONLY IN A FEW apps (Like a Cut the rope) but in FIFA it doesnt work :|
Hello,
I need to replace a galaxy s5830 glass, but I am confused about digitizer, is the digitizer connected to the glass? or it's separated from the glass and connected to the lcd like in Galaxy s3? or I really have no idea about neither, and even in the galaxy s3 the digitizer is not connected to the LCD?
Anyway, I was thinking of buying a digitizer+glass together but I didnt know how to glue it, will that be ok?

Thanks all :cyclops:
I also cracked mine. as far as I know the Digitizer and glass is the same thing and not connected to the LCD. Please help us understand someone....

Yep, I think that each phone has a different construction method. some phones have glass and digitizer together, like the s5830, some have digitizer and LCD together like galaxy s3.
but still, I need to find the materials to get a proper adhesion, I want it to be very similiar to the original.
Do I need LOCA too? or double sided tape is enough?
can I use one of these instead?http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-for-Samsung-S5830-Galaxy-Ace-Touch-Screen-Digitizer-Adhesive-Sticker-ZVRT005-/300630210770?pt=US_Other_Cell_Phone_Accessories&hash=item45fef4f8d2

I know there are some videos but none of them actually discuss the adhesive =/ or at least no one says how is the feeling of the touch after replacing to a new screen without applying LOCA.
*Hey, is it possible to use OCA instead of LOCA (non-liquid clear adhesive? or I'd better use the liquid one)
Thanks!
Always try looking in the comments section -_- they discuss there

I also cracked my screen when my phone came out of my pocket. I can't even use it not because it wont let me unlock the swipe.
how did you determine that you need the LCD also and not just the outer layer which i assume is the digitizer? When you change yours, will you take a vid for tutorial? Im afraid to touch mine unless there is a tutorial.
Thanks
I wouldn't recommend to do that alone if you aren't absolutely sure what you are doing.
It's very tricky to assemble device again and even if you managed to disassemble and assemble it again you could leave fingertips on it or dust and it'll look terrible...
I won't even mention waterproof - no way to do all assembling right without proper tools.
Leave that to experts.
My wife's Xperia U felt down and front screen (digit) broke.
We paid only 200 kn (around 30€) and it was perfect.
Give 20-30€ or $ more, it's expensive device and 20$ could turn into 1000$ damage.

the reason is most smartphones now lcd and digitizer come super glued together, you gonna need to replace both, also i think they only sell the all together.
i still have my acro s so when the price goes down on the set i'll make a video tutorial and post it here for you.
besides the glue and seals the xperia z1 is quite easy to take a part.
oh one more thing, i fix phones and computers for a living
Hi just dropped my xperia z from about 5 foot height onto pavement and the screen is not broken but it isnt responding to any touch.
Is there any chance it can be fixed without fitting a new screen?
That mean touch may be broken get to some hardware repairs shop

just asked the guy who fixes my phones he said bring it in and ill see, said it could be digitizer which if it is then im ****ed.
had enough of this, broke the screen 2 months ago and spent £150 fixing it and £20 for a broken sensor.
arghhhhh.
Flashed a new firmware on it whilst deleting everything on the phone through pc companion but still no luck.
Im confused here, the phone guy said the digitizer is built in with the screen but im checking on ebay and theyre selling a seperate digitizer.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-Touch-S...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item4d1637f583
So if the screen is ok and digitizer broken would installing a new one fix it?
Let me know please, confused and angry,
Apparently the screen and digitiser are glued together, making it extremely likely that one or the other will break when attempting to separate them.

Hi I'm trying to find a case that will protect my screen something like a thin plastic sheet my mate has such a cover for his iPhone 5.
Or is there a thick screen protector that someone can recommend?
