[Q] screen and digitizer - XPERIA X8 General

hey guys..
okay, here's my problem. i dropped my Xperia x8 and there's a crack on the screen. and because of that, i can't use the phone as the crack damaged about three quarter of the screen. the question is, i've decided to change the screen but will the new screen replace my digitizer (cypress)?

It all depends on the screen. If u want cypress, tell the shop. U can check at the chip attached to the screen

I had screen replaced and I think they only changed screen not digitizer (which is part of front mask).
But I'm not 100% sure

So tell me guys, wich one do you have ? (are you happy with it ?)

Cypress, and YES!! I`m very happy with it, it`s a little bonus to an already good phone, and an amazing ROM (MiniCM7 2.0.5a)

Black one, Cypress digitalizer. And yeah, I'm pretty much satisfied with it.
So it seems that there is no guarantee of getting a cypress, just luck. Thanks for telling us what colour x8 you have guys.

Sounds like something got messed up in the replacement. I had the same problem after shattering my screen and replacing digitizer. I just did a warranty replacement with att.
try this.
but I think pre4speed's right..
I had screen issues after replacing the screen as well. What I did was go to best bust mobile, open a line with the atrix, wait a week, return broken phone and profit!

the screen and digitizer are glued together, expensive
It is possible to separate them but it is fiddly, hit and miss, and requires skill and patience.
There is a thread in s3 general about doing it, with a video.
Ahh I thought was separate sorry for misunderstanding

They are very hard to prise apart so my suggestion is live with the scratch and get a screen guard.......always, whenever you get a new phone!
Depending on your phones colour, this is what you will need. He is a UK seller and trusted i can confirm his item is legit. I was playing Basket ball with my brother near my house and the floor was concrete floor. Anyway i took a shot and the phone fell out my jacket pocket and landed face down. The screen protector got totally f'd up and i still got a scratched and a cracked screen.
I was looking at youtube videos on how to replace the screen it looked hard till i found these two items on ebay.
Blue touch panel and metal frame with hardware buttons.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORIGINAL-...arts_Tools&hash=item5aea0d4273#ht_3037wt_1163
White touch panel and metal frame with hardware buttonss.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORIGINAL-...arts_Tools&hash=item5aea48657e#ht_4474wt_1163
Anyway so i have a white phone i ordered the white digitizer metal frame thingy it is quite expensive, When it arrived all i did was take my phone apart and take the important parts like the mic, motherboard, front facing camera and etc and swapped it into the new one and it works great again looks brand new as well.
Thanks that's what I'm looking for

Ouch - 1st things first get a screen protector/ seriously to protect the broken glass (not to the protect the phone) / Its probably too early, but u can look for a new digitizer / it's gonna be expensive / i'm assuming you don't have insurance (or the co-pay is really high)/ sorry about the phone...
edit double ouch... ($262)
http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-samsung-galaxy-s4-gt-i9500-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly.html
If u have insurance, i would go that route...
Yeah tell me about it, bad luck and ouch..
I was thinking about the digitiser and stuff, but isn't that for the touch screen function? That works and so the screen, any way to replace the top plastic only?
Sorry if silly question, making suire
Thanks in advance

It's quite a specialist task with a very strong chance of things going wrong (you can see an example here); I would recommend just buying a new digitiser + display.
Damn, I'll see what I can do. From the UK, need to find UK parts

Must be bad luck to you. A lot of users including me had worsts experiencing dropping their xz but it survived.
Send it to repair,the repair centre sended it to sony itself because they cant fix a xperia z they said,but not a word yet from sony soooooo i gues they are repairing it under warranty because its already 5days in the shop whitouth any word from them,
Ill keep updating here

That sucks, my Bench jeans all have little plates of metal screwed on to the right hand pocket so I removed them and screwed them to the left pocket precisely to prevent this sort of thing.

Ladies and Gentlemen, ...lets get a team together, get into Sony HQ, and get that phone.
No, seriously, I've never been so nervous with this week-old phone. I hope yours gets back into tip top shape.

What the hell are they thinking...the repaircentre didnt even tryed to contact sony becauce the fractures doesnt fitt the profile for warrenty and on top of that the repaircentre told my provider that some motherboard needs to be replaced due to falling damage......wtf...MY SCREEN BROKE BY ITSELF!!!!
So guus what can you suggest me to do at this point im allmost a month on my old gnex and no step further....

Het kan geen kwaad om Sony een bericht te sturen.
Translation: It won't hurt to send Sony an email... what is there to lose?
Where did you bought your phone? If you bought it in a shop that's located in the country, why not contact them?

Yeah it looks like there's a sweet... or should I say sour spot where the screen breaks easily... is it near the headphone where it first broke? That's where mine broke and the screen stopped responding immediately also... that's what I was saying about it being fragile in my thread. The digitizer is very fragile.
