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.

IF your digitizer broke then your touch screen would not be working... if your screen still works then your digitizer is fine...

The digitzer is a film on the back of the glass, if the glass breaks you need to replace it along with the glass.
Anyone else confused?
swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2
Just a warning, replacing the digitizer/glass alone is going to be fairly difficult for anyone who isn't experienced in phone repairs. It is glued to the LCD and it is extremely easy to break things during the process.
Here is a video (although a bit long) on the process.
I broke my LCD screen as well. Sent to the Samsung service center to have it replaced and cost me $260 including the silver frame.
I managed to find a gnote II with a bad esn for $70 on Craigslist. Scooped it up for the parts, even though it's a fully functioning tablet now.
The digitizer is what u touch. It can shatter and still work.they are cheap. The lcd screen is what u see. Expensive but probably fine. Ive done a couple go slow and its no big deal watch a youtube vid

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

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?

Hello all.
So, the screen from my nexus 7 is broken, I had it in my back pocket with the minijack attached.
I got a tilapia version.
Is it worth it to replace the screen and the digitillizer?
If yes, do you recommend an online shop? I live in Germany.
I am not really familiar with eBay, I will use it only if it is really trustworthy vendor.
Thank you all in advance

I've tried - no Gorilla Glass in front so will brake in no time as mine did.
Not worth as an investment in my humble opinion.
Try searching ebay for the unit with the working screen.
ok i need some help here, i dropped my n7 and it seems the glass is cracked and thus digitizer fails completely (damn you single glass system).
Now i dont understand is what do i need, does it have to be touch screen + digitizer or is there simply top glass assembly cum digitizer online. i will be ordering from india so i dont think i will be able to get it replaced. so its just one time buy.
screen combo is massively expensive at 40$ something which is basically the cost of my tablet itself. however touch screen assembly seems to be just 10$ affair with free shipping. which one will be for me?? please help

If it's only glass cracked, then you can do it - just need some patience and skills to disassembly digitizer glass and LCD, you can look at THIS
I doubt you'll do it if you've never done something like this before, but you have nothing to loose.
the new lcd+digitizer you can get for about 20$ with free postage, if you search in right place - just checked it and found one for 19 in 1 min

well even $20 is huge for me at INR 1400, i went with digitizer only for $10. lets see if i have just trashed $10. i fear i might damage the lcd. thankfully i have a heat gun.
