[Q] Screen Replacement

Hello there!
I use a SE Xperia X8 with the Synaptics touchpad.
I found out that the only way to have a TRUE dual touch screen is this: [Module] | X8 only | AX8MT v005 | Dual touch for Cypress touchpad. (Thank you AnDyX for your great work on Cypress chipset and doixanh for your X8Gesture for Synaptics Chip)
Although this only has effect if the phone is equiped with the cypress chip
So I came with the idea of replacing the Synaptics Chipset with Cypress which is the one that suports dual touch.
My question is: Is that possible? I mean are there any other hardware parts that were made to work only with Synaptics?
And if this is possible, then is it something I can do it my own, or sould I visit a service center or something like that?
P.S.: In the same thread ([Module] | X8 only | AX8MT v005 | Dual touch for Cypress touchpad) it is said that: "The CY8CTMA340-XXX-03 (two-finger support) and CY8CTMA340-XXX-11 (four-finger support) device families are both available today from Cypress. Qualified customers can contact Cypress for more information and to obtain samples.". So, are they both compatible with our X8? (I of course mean if Cypress chipsets are at all compatible with Synaptic-chiped-phones)

You probably could replace it but you would have to take apart lots of parts and search a few marketplaces for the chip ect

Im not shure,but i think ive read somewhere that if you replace the digitizers(that is possible) you have to edit something in the software.no one never tried it tho..

Ok, so if I somehow find a way to buy a Cypress Digitizer is it possible to replace it myself? I mean is it easy, or I will probably damage my phone?

Hi maxnaxos and welcome to our community . It is really easy to replace the screen on your own even a kid can , the only difficulty is to find a digitizer that has cypress chip on it but you can recognize it from the code that it is written on the chip that has on it.Cypress chips starts with CY###### and continues with numbers.Use ebay and contact the sellers and i think you will find the one that you looking for.
Take this guide : x8 dissasemble guide it will help you to open and put the parts again to your phone , for any questions i am open to pm's.
*The only tools that you need is a t4 screwdriver with star end , a mini philips screwdriver with positive end and a removing plastic tool usually these come in one packet so you dont have to worry..

I never took apart my x8,but i did all the other phones,a nintendo,psp,that like ****s...generally you will need really small screw drivers.like cross screw driver,flat screw driver etc..

And what's de price?

Youre always so negative. Let him do what he want. I think this could be a nice story if he do it.

It can easily be done, a user already changed his digitizer, check the acessories forum for a thread called "looking for cypress digitizer" or sth..

If the price is only 15$, then it certainly worths it! We may need another 10-12$ for shipping and with less than 30$ we have real dual touch. Why should we buy a new phone that may costs more than 500$?
I think that tomorrow I will try to find someone in eBay that offers Cypress screens.

Which phone ?

Hi to all going to get a new phone but can't decide between the xperia S and the galaxy S 3. To me they both have good spec and both have there own + points
Please give your views on The 2 phones
Thanks DJ moley

samsung gs3

I would go for the SGS III.

Well if you are clumsy i would recommend Xperia S but if you need Quad core (i doubt) just buy SGS III.
But if i would be buying new phone i would go for some HTC

SGS III has 16/32/64gb internal memory,1gb of ram + Android OS, v4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich),buy it if you have money!

Didn't you dream about Sony Xperia U?

I say HTC ONE S
OR GS3
Is it important how did i send this?

I don't like HTC there build quality is not all that IMO my friend had HTC desire HD and shattered the screen by sitting on it.
And I'm always dropping my phone

SGS III
coz have quad core processor :good:

Even though I absolutely hate Samsung with my heart and passion, get it.
Sony will dump the XPERIA™ S.
It probably won't see anything after Jelly Bean, if it even gets it.

why an htc??

Go for SIII
Like so many top-end phones of this generation, the Sony Xperia S does not let you use memory cards
Also processor is quad core in SIII
Camera has more features in SIII than Xperia S
Also samsung is known for their tough and sturdy design so even if you drop your SIII... I guess their will be no problem

Take the S3, its better supported by samsung and xda.

Also the Galaxy S3 has Corning Gorilla Glass 2, so you can't even scratch the screen

I recommend the Xperia S. It is wsy better in design than sgs3...........only bad point is that it has dual core not quad core..

[Q] Is there dual touch for synaptic digitizers?

So my digitizer is damaged and I need a new one. The ones available here are most probably cheap chinese ones with no model number written on, so I can't identify if it is Cypress or Synaptics without running the Emulator thing. So my question is, are the chinese ones Cypress or Synaptics, and if it is Synaptics by any chance, do I get dual touch with the latest ICS roms? I can't get one from Ebay so that's out of question ._.
Any help is appreciated.

Yeah, fake.
search in general section , u wiil found

You have been a member for one whole year and you still don't know if Synaptics has dual touch?

I wanted to do the same but in every review i have read they are complaining about the display and the camera. The camera on the X8 is lousy too, but the display is ok. So I will wait for another cheap replacement for the x8.

Huawei=better speed
Sony=quality
also check support on xda for those 2 phones then decide :good:

No, only xperia sola.

Xperia Tipo is definitely faster and better than the Xperia X8. I have both the phones, Im seriously bored of the lags on the X8. The Tipo runs ICS jus fine, actually quite smooth even with a 800MHz processor. The camera is still a let down because its still 3.2 fixed focus. Image quality is not upto the mark, but price-wise its fine.
The choice is yours actually, there are better phones now. Wouldnt you want a bigger screen like the Sola or Xperia U?

What price is xperia tipo?
Even xperia mini pro run ics without lags

T-Mobile offers the SII for free with a two year contract. Of course, you will have to pay the taxes and activation fee, but will be within your budget.

i am in india...

Try looking at the Galaxy S or Galaxy S 2. Anything lower than that would not be good for HARDCORE GAMING

Both are above budget well i use galaxy mini for gaming .its quite well..i think the devices i stated abive will do well too

It's an awful Froyo device. Also it's not ICS ROM capable. My friend sold his Optimus Me and got a HTC HD2. Xperia Tipo is the only device that supports 4.x in that price range.

Don't buy Micromax. They are never going to provide any OS update for their phones.

Thinking about your budget and your wants, I just don't think is possible. Why not save up some more, and get a S2. Is there cell service providers in India that offer discounted phones in exchange for a contract?
