[Q] Is there dual touch for synaptic digitizers? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

[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..

)i know,but don't know,if you give more than 15$ it doesn't worth it.

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.

[Q] Buying a X8

Hi,
i want to buy a new X8. ATM i just have a K800i
I looked around here and saw, that there is a Problem with the MultiTouch Support.
My Question:
Is it the only way to test with a sample Programm, if it has a Cypress Digitalizer?
If yes:
Is there any Shop, which are selling X8 with Cypress Digitalizers?
All I can say is baaaaaaad choice. Get a Samsung or something. The X8 is pretty old. No updates from SE anymore. You're going to get bored pretty soon.
Can u suggest me then a Samsung? Max 150€
Go to your country's carriers websites. Prices aren't the same everywhere.
The Galaxy Y is exactly 150 € here in Greece.
I searched and found the Samsung Galaxy Y for 229 is the cheapes at the Samsung Website.
The Xperia X8 is for 117€
What? Are you kidding me
Here in Greece everything is overpriced and the Galaxy Y is only 150!!!
Then it is in Germany even worser
Just looked into Amazon: Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 - 116,49
So: Never buy from the official store
But it doesn't look better then from the X8.
Only it is better in terms of ClockSpeed and maybe RAM.
That's a big deal and it also runs on official Gingerbread.
Sent from my X8 that is soon going to be replaced with a Samsung Galaxy Nexus/S II

Its not a problem just x8 doesnot support multitouch by its hardware but all custom roms have multitouch built in, so its not real multitoch but it work very well....

You can test it by x8toolbox of puppet....i think that you can order via ebay cypress and replace it by yourself its like 10min of your time

What about Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570? It has slightly more RAM and ROM than X8 but only the display is not as nice as X8

Lg 4X HD and Vu p895

Hello folks. I have been comparing the two devices and they seem to be pretty much identical hardware and software wise. The only difference being the screen resolution and format. They run on the same SoC , same camera modules , I imagine same modem too. Any development done for the 4x should be pretty easy to port over to the p895 , similar to what happened with the xperia X10mini and X8 ( The only difference between the two was the screen resolution. The two phones shared a subforum , resources and dev's). Hopefully this thread grabs the attention of others interested in the p895 and reveals a possible cooperation between users of both devices. I will look more into this after I get my phone back from service.
P895 have 4G LTE
Sorry about my bad English
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
No they don't. I have one. It is the same device as the 4X. That is probably the Verizon version or some Korean only model. The international one uses the Tegra 3 SoC and has no 4G.
The xperia x8 was my phone before this. Damm life was easy back then(atleast when it comes to the bootloader)

yep, but we've had oc, uv,ext3/4-support,dualtouch, cwm, custom roms even with locked bootloaders
so why not here too? we 'just' need a skilled dev to work on it
We have a "skilled" dev to work on it. BUT, it would not harm if we had 50 skilled devs or even some help from LG to work on it. I mean, the 4X was never sold in massive quantities like the s3
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Both the Vu p895 and 4X didn't sell as much as other phones. Maybe it would be for the best to officially add the Vu p895 to the current subforum , more attention can't possibly hurt.

Or maybe the custom rom, etc from 4xhd could be applied on p895?

Most of us pre-ordered and got an extra item instead.
Some got the Sony MDR-1R
Some got the DK-26
Some got bluetooth speakers etc etc
Maybe that's the reason. I don't think people can still get those items anymore when they buy the phone, but these without the protector included are still from the old batch.
Who knows...

i guess i will always purchase older tophones like gs,gs2,gs3,gs4 and never the plus variations anymore even tho i am happy with my gs+, still the main topphones seem to have highest additional value due to the best devs owning them and updating them
