[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nemeth:
First read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_resistive_touchscreen

Now, when you depress on two points, the voltage reading used to provide the co-ordinates is exactly what it would have been had you pressed in the exact centre of those two points.

The screen cannot tell the difference between you pressing on two points, and you pressing on one point that is located at the centre of those points.

If you operate the device with your thumb, it does the same thing - activates the screen at the centre of the point of contact, as opposed to the stylus which is much more precise.

I don't know how else to put it, apologies if it is not very clear :(
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krist0ph3r:
i've been puzzling over the multi touch possibility because when using ie/viewing emails, if i swipe (vertically) using a stylus it selects text, while if i swipe with my finger, it scrolls. hard to explain if the screen is simply averaging out the positions, isn't it?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stormlv:
Biotouch.exe is responsible for that behavior.

Xperia's touchscreen is single touch only.

http://www.eetasia.com/STATIC/PDF/200808/EEOL_2008AUG27_STECH_EMS_AN_01.pdf?SOURCES=DOWNLOAD

Pages 2/3 of this document show the diagrams of a regular 4wire resistive touchscreen and how it detects the xy position. That should give you a more clear view on how/why it averages the way it does when you have 2 fingers on it.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuneee:
Gestures aren't exclusive to to multi-touch screens. You can write software (I have done some of this) that tracks a movement across the screen, use fancy math to get the direction, and implement that gesture. Not very hard.

If the average of movement of the two points moves enough in one direction to set off a gesture thats what will happen.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNicoT:
Oh deer, i guess you're very, very wrong...

Multitouch is possible with the Xperia touchscreen - but the rest of the phone (especially winmob 6.x) isn't ready. :(

See here how great resistive multitouch screens are:

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhyBe:
There's some WM software that does the multitouch trick on resistive screens. I think it does it through some intense calculations though (CPU heavy). I'm sure it's just a novelty and not useful for anything.

My theory:

Detect the first finger press, the second finger creates the average, from those two values you can compute the location of the second finger. This is a lot more CPU heavy than just reading two values from a true multi-touch screen.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnchan78:
Hi, do you have any idea how Biotouch.exe (the program that runs all the time on our Xperias) tells the difference between a thumb/finger press/drag versus a stylus press/drag?

I'm speculating/guessing that when you use a finger/thumb, when you press down, it creates little movements constantly (because your thumb/finger isn't exactly flat on the screen, it creates tiny little movements as your finger pressure moves slightly around)?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comeradealexi:
hmm - still possible though no? would be cool to see this if it really could work
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidneylopsides:
I've wondered about that too, I first noticed it when trying to scroll an email with my nail, it selected instead.

My theory is area of pressure, a stylus would have a very specific area of contact, an thumb would depress a much larger area, it would take the centre of the area as the target, but be able to act differently.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Sid:
Wow .. it really handles stylus and finger different !

Yes, it for sure is area size. You can achieve 'stylus' touch with fingernail too.

Then this is one and half touch screen .. not singletouch, not multitouch.

Old Palms had singletouch, and that technology can't detect center of touched area, nor size, it detects only lower-left (IIRC) corner of the touched area. Fine for stylus, but really bad for fingers.

Most touchpadts work just like this. They can detect upper left corner and bottom right corner of the touched area .. but nothing between it.

Anyway with this you actually can detect most of the multitouch gestures. You can detect 1 finger or 2 fingers drag (different area size), you can do pinchzoom (area size changing). I guess things like this would be possible on Xperia.

Only thing you can't do is using screen as gamepad .. which iPhone can do .. it can detect several areas (virtual buttons) with no interference at all.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuwings:
What I experimented on S2U2 software with xperia,

is to test the result is it with multi touch capability, but i am not sure.

You guys can have an experiment.

1. slide the S2U2 slide with 1 finger with ur right finger to the right.

2. then using ur left finger to press the slide bar somewhere at your left.

3. Play around by releasing the your left and right thumbs to test is it multi touch.

I am not sure, please some one tell me does it shows any clue. thanks.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azian_advanced:
yea my theory is that the hardware supports multi-touch, but the software doesn't recognize them as two individual points but instead takes all the values (or coordinates) of everything that is being inputted and takes in the average instead. if this is true, microsoft should definitely start developing multi-touch capability on their future winmo platforms.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corscaria:
The Xperia X1 touchscreen is most definately NOT a multitouch display. Multitouch works by actually using an array of touch devices on a single panel. This is true for both resistive and capacitive touch panel technologies. The result is the multitouch have a great many connections to a processor. While single touch panels only use 3 to 5 connections. The touch panel on the Experia X1's touchpanel has a 4wire interface, making it a common single touch device.

It is, as speculated, possible with some calculations to compute a second touch point with a little trickery. This is limited to a single extra touch point and results in both points being inaccurate.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leddy:
The X1's resistive digitiser doesn't support multitouch.

What you described (avg co-ords) is how resistive screens work. They can only detect one point. They have two sheets, one sheet detects X co-ordinate and the other detects Y (hence 4 wires- you can check this yourself if you pull apart your phone). Biotouch uses some mathematical trickery to guess whether you're using a stylus or a finger.

The X1 is not capable of multitouch.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] yellownese:
Was watching youtube videos last night before my phone died, now I can't get it to start boot into the OS. Not sure if this is relevant but my power button had been a little finnicky- rather maybe not the power button itself because it doesn't feel stuck or anything at all but I noticed that it would take an extra second or two after pressing the power button to get into my lock screen. I never really paid attention because it only happened once in a while and I would just restart my phone and be done with it. However I can't even get into the lock screen or anything now.

After my phone died last night I plugged it in right away and came back a while later to turn it on. I tried turning it on but noticed my phone just kept rebooting. It's still repeatedly rebooting and I can only get in the fastboot menu by holding down both volume buttons when rebooting. I get the options power off- which just reboots it after a while, start - which just reboots the phone, restart boot loader- which literally takes me back to the same menu, recovery mode- just reboots and show barcode which shows the barcode at the bottom of the menu.

I've tried downloading the qualcomm driver and trying to get into EDL mode but don't see it on my pc or msmtool, i'm also not even sure if i'm trying to get into EDL mode correctly. I've tried disable Driver signature Enforcement and then redownloading the qualcomm driver but still no luck. I don't know what else I should try. Someone please help me out, i'm pissed this happened just because my phone died, about to have ptsd whenever my phone is at 5% fml.

Also after seeing the 1+ logo and powered by android on the bottom, sometimes I would see like a line of color, which I would assume is text not being rendered all the way, fade out and then the phone shuts down and reboots itself.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] LinhBT:
Which OOS build are you on? And your device is unlocked or not?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Klusio19:
Getting into EDL mode is tricky. Power off device completely. With the device powered off, hold down volume up and volume up at the same time, keep them pressed all the time, and during that time plug into PC (phone all the time powered off). Still hold both of the buttons. By the time you plug into PC, you should be in EDL mode, BUT it only lasts about 10 seconds. I mean you have to click start in this 10 seconds time bracket, other way phone exits EDL itself. After you click start, you can release button, obviously
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] AlreadyFree:
I've got the MetroPCS variant of the Moto G7 Power with unlocked bootloader, Android 10 variant of CrDroid custom rom and rooted with Magisk. This setup has been working without issue for 4 years. Suddenly yesterday after the phone shut off due to low battery it now won't boot up. It loads the unlocked bootloader warning screen, then loads the first part of the CrDroid bootup animation but then gets stuck on the second part of the CrDroid boot animation. Anytime this phone was ever in a bootloop, back when I was setting it all up initially, it would always bootloop after the warning screen or after the first part of the CrDroid boot animation. I've never seen it do this before. By the time it gets to the second part of the boot animation it usually means everything is good to go.

Really stuck on how to proceed. Is it possible some system file got corrupted somehow. Should I reflash rom without clearing Data to repair? I really don't want to have to set this phone up again. I would lose a lot of data since I haven't backed up apps in a while.
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] AlreadyFree:
I just wiped cache & system and dirty flashed same rom I had installed before. However it's still doing the same thing.

Now I'm trying to backup the Data folder in TWRP but it keeps failing with this error:

"createTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255"

Does this possibly mean there's a corrupt file on the Data drive that is causing the boot problem and is also preventing the backup?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] 24ky:
As title states , this is me replacing the Pixel 4 XL 3700mah battery with a replacement battery from SNSOU 4500mah battery from Amazon. Replacing my battery because it has a total of 3000mah capacity.... I know some will be so against not using a stock battery replacement. But I'm okay with doing the testing on my 4 XL since the phone itself is inexpensive.. and phone is mostly used for work where I use navigation (maps ) all day.

What I'll be doing with this thread is monitoring the wear and tear on it weekly and post my results with screen on time, battery's capacity after numerous charge cycles, etc. This is gonna be my review on this battery company. Let's see how this pans out.

Here is the battery :

Batteries capacity is determined by size largely.

That much more capacity is the same space?

How?!!!

This is a better bet.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] 24ky:
The capacity of a battery depends on the many factors, one being the number and size of plates in a cell: Essentially, the number of plates or the large size means that the amount of active substance that stores energy increases. The battery's ability to store or deliver energy will increase if the active ingredient in the battery plates is excessive..so theoretically you can. Trusting a non oem battery from any company other then the supplier of the phone is a personal risk. Phone is cheap so what's the harm.. upgrading to the 6 pro shortly.

but also I'll be monitoring the battery heavily etc.. so who cares if it's non oem when it's my risk. But if my experience is better then prior testing with my old battery then I could care less. But if the battery yeilds great battery life then why not use the battery? Yes a I fixit battery would of been best choice. But I chose not too , but let's just see what I yeild in battery life first.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
A fully charged Li that suffers an internal short can leave it's mark in more ways than one.

Go with the guaranteed OEM parts whenever they are available to avoid wasting your time. The fact the Fixit is being provided by Google and Samsung with OEM parts is a good thing... if you use it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
I mean, you're entitled to assume whatever risk you want, we're just trying to discourage anything that could actually result in harm. Li-po batteries need to have room to expand, as they naturally do during use. If you try to stuff too much battery into too small a space, you end up with a situation like the Note 7 - where expanding batteries didn't have any room, causing them to short out and catch fire.

So, I'd say there's quite a lot of risk involved. Chances are the aftermarket batteries are either falsely advertised in their higher capacity, or they're dangerous due to the reasons I just gave. We don't want to see anyone get hurt, especially when the possibility is having your house burn down with you in it.

There is 1 SD card slot in the unit. I guess that's why I can't install the Toolbox package. When I try to put the files on the SD card, the Start/Update button is inactive. I can't start

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] secretsubscriber:
Hello.

I recently got an M8 to use as a media player.

I has twrp already installed and currently have firmware version 4.28.502.2, Android 5.0.2

I read that the most current ATT firmware included Android 6.x. So i've been looking into returning to stock.

1) Do i need to have S-OFF to return to stock?

2) Do i need to relock my bootloader to return to stock?

I downloaded RUU from the HTC site. It detects my phone but can't connect after it reboots the phone.

I've been looking a lot of forums and it seems like i need to get S-OFF to do anything and that means paying $25 to sunshine.

I just want to make sure I'm correct and I'm not missing anything.

Thank you

Hi,

Ive been trying to figure this out for more than one year and I havent been able to find any information on how to make this happen.

I have a P30 Pro bought on amazon, it is a DOCOMO Japan version but I dont live in Japan.

Latest security patch is from 2020 so I dont feel safe using this phone. I cannot update it since everytime I try it says I have to do it inside DOCOMO updater and when I try it says im outside their network and im not able to update it.

Is there any bypass? Ive tried VPNs on Japan but same, it doesnt allow me to upgrade. I would like to get some help on how to upgrade the phone to another firmware (GLOBAL) better, or to be able to upgrade it inside DOCOMO outside Japan.

Thank you so much, please any help I would be more than happy and grateful.

Hello. I need help!

I have a K20 and I made the mistake of locking the bootloader with the MI 9T room.

The cell phone does not turn on because it says "This miui version can't be installed on this device". So I have no way to unlock the bootloader by the traditional method that needs the cell phone on.

the only way that it authorizes the installation of a room is through recovery, but my pc sees my cell phone as an MI 9T and it only lets me install its room, since this room doesn't boot.

I also tried in MI Flash through edl mode and it says I don't have an authenticated account. I have no idea what I can do anymore.
