Work Ongoing on Pinch Zoom for Xperia X10 - XPERIA X10 General

Anyone read this GREAT news??
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2010/11/17/work-ongoing-on-pinch-zoom-for-xperia-x10/
Apparently the hardware did support for more than one touch..
I just want to expose this great news more. For I believe not everyone follow every thread in this forum.
You're freely comment to this thread or follow the MT thread from now.

read it a couple of minutes ago, Great news!

We are already discussing this in the MT thread and the custom rom thread.

Awesome news. Never say never I guess. Froyo anyone?

these [email protected]!! they lied to us! it's not supported by software etc... bull****!!

Did you watch the video? He never stated it was a software problem, it's a hardware problem. The behavior of the multitouch chip seems to work awfully if you cross axises.

They said the hardware is not capable and then they also said they screen is not capable.. and now they say it is possible..
Lies.. covered by lies mixed with lies that are full of lies.
Will i ever buy any SE product again? no..
I used to love Sony's work.. but the X10 has pissed me off till death.
Mainly my service provider also lied to me when i bought the phone.
When i went back to return it, i asked.. "why did you say the phone has multi touch?" where by she replied "whats multi touch?"
They would not let me return it!!
So let this be a lesson to all.
If a new phone arrives on the market..
1.wait 1 month.
2.see what ppl have to say about it first.
3.make sure what was said is true.
4.buy handset.
Now oddly just a few seconds ago.. after hearing mt will be enabled for the x10...
I heard a loud crash and found the my table fell over and the phone is now destroyed as it will not boot... life is so ironic.

Can develop multitouch app?

Cannot develop multirouch apps to x10?
You can create apps that use multitouch but since the X10 doesn't (or does it?) have the hardware to use it, it won't work. Right now, regardless of the hardware it won't work since the X10 has 1.6 Android.

And yet still I don't feel confident in the statements. They also stated "numerous times" that it would be MT capable. Every time anyone asks them what hardware is used they refuse to answer.
The guy posting to the se blog seems like a manager to me, if you read his posts. No-one really technical has actually said anything on-record.
I'm gonna reserve judgement until it's rooted. I'm sure the first thing many people will try is the G1 MT hack.
Geoff
Currently torn between the X10 and the Desire. MT would swing it.
I was checking out this handset when I came across this thread then found this article
T3:Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 to get Android 2.1 update
They have the info from the same source, so this article doesn't make it more likely to be true.

Claims of WP7 from Tom_Codon march 2010

Well were coming up to to the month milestone of when Tom dropped the news of having WP7 running on his HD2.
I know I will get flamed for this, but I am niave and a part of me still despite no real proof being given, is hoping.
It would be great if we got some news/proof at the end of this month.
Seg
da_g and chainfire have stated this exists....
that's plenty of proof in my book imho
please people, let it go....nobody was gonna get wp7 on the hd2 before the news and so there is no difference if it was all a lie...
that said, i do belive in it, reputable people have said its true. just enjoy the damn device and when wp7 comes, it will come, and i would like to see a thread with all the non belivers apologising
I know some good reputable ppl have clearly stated that its true. I am not doubting them for a minute. I personally expected to hear or see something else since the initial statement. I do enjoy my device, I just love trying new things.
The conversation surrounding this, had died a little lately, so I thought I would spark up some more interesting conversation/debate.

But thats just it, how can you EXPECT something from somebody when they dont owe you anything? you can expect customer service from HTC, or expect an official statement from HTC about wp7 (which we got), but you cant expect news about someones personal project...you arent paying them, they are doing it out the kindness of the heart and the passion they have for this phone...
well thats my opinion for example...i fix my friend's and family's computers from time to time for no charge. nobody can expect me to fix it in any reasonable time frame, nor even even expect it to be fixed at all, even if i say i can. if they do, then its really unnappretiative and its quite hurtful. alot of people did ***** about the videos of wp7 on the hd2, if it was me, i wouldnt even bother giving it to anyone, just on the fact that so many people grinded me down about it.

ah ok, well yeh one can hope for it, thats all good! even i hope for it! well actually i dunno, when they said wp6 and wm6.5 isnt interchangeable made me decide not to go with wp7. but still, id love to see it! but even if they lied (which i keep stressing i dont think they are!), i wouldnt think less of them, none of us are really gettin affected and we have got alot from them anyway with wm6.5

yeah I asked him last week in a podcast he visited on ppcgeeks...said a lot including a test rom for tg01 which also makes a lot of sense. I've said on htcpedia that I wouldn't be surprised the devices we see in the fall are very similar to devices released LAST year with minor improvements in hardware (if that)
If the htc touch hd2 and the g01 were the true test devices that wp7 was based on, then as a developer I'd just go hey why do I need to make a new device? Use the old internals and I have a wp7 device. I think for early devices that's what is going to happen but again that's just my speculation on htc and toshiba. Dell et al probably have devices built from the ground up...
I mean I want to try wp7 too and its looking better and more fluid every single day that gives me hope that microsoft has made a better "coded" os that when unlocked will actually be more open than the devices we have right now. To get to that point will take time, but that's what xda is for. I mean zune hd is hacked, I expect wp7 to be hacked too. just depends on time and devices
edit
hoping this conversation remains civil because so far no flames no claims of it was publicity and I said on htcpedia again why does a site like that need publicity it averages in US daytime 250 members per hour! late night 125! a site like that doesn't need real advertising.
We can't say its an april fool either that's come and gone. so the only other logical outcome is that it exists there are some issues (lo and behold tom said there were graphics issues)
so I am waiting enjoying wp 6.5
Does anyone actually know Tom or Da_G or ITJE? Could they ask them for an update? Anything is better than nothing.

I just don't see the draw towards WM7. I stopped using the iPhone because the locked down environment... even after jailbreaking. WM6.5 w/ Sense is the BEST OS and GUI that I've used on a phone. It has usability elements while retaining the functionality of WM. It seems to me that M$ is moving backwards.

Im with you 100% on that statement. I feel like M$ is turning into Apple.
I don't understand why you are talking like this actually..
Sure, WP7 is locked down OS with many disadvantages, I agree with that!
BUT it brings lots of new features and its going to have full flash support etc.
it's not all bad.. basically this whole thing is not part of this discussion!
This is about WP7 on hd2 which was claimed to be real by tom.
Cheers
Apart from the HD2 WP7 exists/doesn't exist...
....
I don't get why there isn't any news from tom_codon or any other people and why they aren't releasing it..
Sincerely, I'm not understanding why tom_codon gave the news of WP7 on HD2.
I mean... okay, WP7 HD2 ROM does exist, noone apart tom_codon and some other people has got it, but why are you saying to all that it does exist if you can't/don't want to release it?
It's not so mature and smart in a community where all is shared and that lives on the ROM sharing to say "I've got WP7! But you won't get it! Hah!!"........ am I wrong?

X10 has multi-touch - proved

X10 has multi-touch.
just check out sony's web page:
"Sporting an expansive, 4" multi-touch screen, the X10 showcases your movies and photos in awe-inspiring fashion. Every pixel is crisp, with saturated colors and details that come alive in the palm of your hand. And with the added real estate, you'll spend more time enjoying and less time scrolling."

Allow me to play the devil's advocate here for a bit.
The info on the developer's site is what you as a developer can expect to work with. What if the multitouch bits aren't present in the current SDK because they haven't implemented it yet? Without conclusive information on the hardware we can't say anything for sure. It might be dual- or multi-touch capable and could be exposed in newer versions of the SDK.
It's very unlikely we'll get multitouch but quoting SE's page on the SDK really only tells you which APIs they let you play around with.
One day. That's all I ask for. One day without a new Multitouch topic.
Is that too hard to ask for?

Jokes aside, speculating and investigating is a nice distraction from waiting for the 2.1 update.

Very true, but, on any other forum, reposting the same exact topic on a daily basis amounts to spam, and isn't tolerated.

They are talking about Timescape, not Mediascape.
Someone told that the mini have MT and have the same screen as X10... I don't remember when I read that.
timescape is great and fast on the x10 mini but bloated useless crap on the x10 maxi.
on the mini its nice to use as a notification tool, such as missing calls and sms and when you tap on the widget it loads instantly and scrolls smooth.
this is actually very interesting because if its listed on the site and it stays there and is confirmed not be a type then im pretty sure they will have to implemnt it or they will be an easy target for class action law suits
great finally with multitouch now X10 has become no 2 for no 1 call volume should be high

Xperia x10 Multi-touch and updates after 2.1

Hey guys,
I guess I'd share this with you.
I sent a mail to SE asking them about a more specific explanation regarding the multi-touch function. I also asked them about if they plan to keep updating the Xperia after 2.1.
What they said in reply to the multi touch part is that the X10 handset does not support the MT feature.
"This requires two layers of the capacity screen for this feature to be added succesfully which the handset does not have. The handset only has one layer of capacitive touch screen."
I don't know about the technical stuff, so maybe somebody over here can confirm this.
Their reply to the update part was that they haven't got any further information regarding any other updates until after the release of the Android 2.1 update. So it is still a guess.
What they did say is that 2.1 will be released in the UK before the end of September. So it is indeed several weeks away, if they are telling the truth.
These subjects are getting annoying now i understand that MT is a feature that lots of people want but my question to these people is why didnt u buy a phone with MT in the first place now for the 2.1 update we know its coming very soon so just be patient its not that big a deal i love my x10 and if it wasnt getting 2.1 id still love it also as for updates after 2.1 y dnt u just wait and see we aint got 2.1 yet and ur already thinking about whats gonna happen after that anyway thats just my thoughts
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
how about dual touch? does it require 2 layers of the capacity screen as well?
maybe we will get the missing layer by mail.
then we will have multitouch.

I believe a lot of people thought the lack of MT was probably due to 1.6 rather then SE deciding not to put in the hardware to support it. Who could blame them when devices from other companies had hardware support for MT well before the X10 came out. I bet a lot of people who bought the X10 were told that MT would be available with a software upgrade, hell even SE's US web site says the X10 has multi-touch.
I would love to know what the reasoning was behind not adding MT support. Was it SE saying we can get these hi res non MT screens for cheap, that no one wants & put them in our flagship Android device? If that is the case it makes me wonder if SE isn't on life support & desperate to cut corners anywhere they can to save money.
OMG, yet another MT topic, mods shuld really ban you guys, I would for sure, you are making this forum a junk forum, worst than spam topics !!

The lawsuit stuff may be a reason not to include MT but that could be accomplished through software. If I was working at SE I would have included the hardware support & at least left the door open to turning on the support later. Doing it this way just makes SE look cheap IMO.
I don't find MT a very useful feature but one that doesn't get in my way when doing other things, so I'm indifferent to it.
I agree with others there is no need to have all these different threads all talking about MT.

Pfff, you people should be happy you only hear this in the forum. Imagine living with a whiner. (me)
So kittens are killed hm? I don't care about that.
If it were puppies... but it's only about kittens
Even though it's worthless making a fuzz about it, since it doesn't change **** to the hardware of the x10 or SE implementing it sooner if possible.
Having that said, it is a disgrace that SE after almost 5 months since the release of the experia still dares to put up a big lie on their US website claiming the X10 does support multitouch. Such a thing is not an accident, the're not complete morrons at SE, it is purposely put there to mislead consumers into believing they are gonna be buying multitouch devices.
I'm really happy with my x10, but I find it a bit embarracing the way SE deals with information about the features and softwareupdates/bugfixes (like poor volume).
I think the people who care the most are those porn addicts who like to pinch and zoom the naked "whatever."
Please no more Kitten killings. Oops, I just did that.

No multi touch for x10

I contacted sony ericsson a few days ago and they contacted the global. They have now corrected their website and issued an apology. As this was only for the new line of xperias. The comment is on page 2.

Wow, really great news for us users of the X10, I thought 2011 would be clean in my X10.
Sony just to clarify this with my X10 MultiTouch will recognize more than TWO simultaneous touch right? Much better than the current DualTouch we have today.
SE Congratulations!!

Hello Felipe, okay? The multitouch feature on devices equipped with Xperia line Android 2.3 supports four simultaneous touches on the screen.
A hug.

Hi Philip. Unfortunately, contrary to what reported in the Android 2.3 update for the X10 win dual touch. We apologize for the mistake, because we just validate the information with Sony Ericsson. Support for four rings is present in the new line of business, including neo Xperia models, and Play arc.
A hug.
NOW. i'm pissed off.
I was too. When he said that I got so pissed. I mean at least give us improved dual touch. Jeez

That SE hates the x10 and all it's users?
The worst thing is the hardware does not limit us.
If it was the touch pad then it would only make axis bugs if fingers were to cross.
In this case you don't even have to cross your fingers.
It just does it randomly and if you cross axis's.
It's just to make games that use dual directional controls useless.
SCREW YOU SE, SCREW YOU TO HELL.

It took them a entire month to correct false information on a website.
A ENTIRE MONTH.
It's more like false advertising than anything else.
I know right. It makes me mad I even asked them and provided them the website to report to global Sony. But I guess its better than being dissapointed

There is no excuse to disable a good feature.
Or make a device uncomfortable to use. <<"it does not reflect well"
Unless it is for the money.
Why are you calling us pricks anyway? let me guess you have disposable income.
Also the phone was not cheap. but SE is.

What the hell?
Before this turns into a flamewar, I want to tell you:How are you sure that our device can even do multitouch at all??? The Nexus One, Desire all have the same buggy dualtouch we do, why should ours be different? How do you know that it's 'disabled', and not a hardware limitation, like it was in 2009?
You are just finding reasons to vent out your frustration on SE. You and Lion have whined about the update throughout this post, because of what? I NEVER trusted SE Brazil, these third world country company outlets more often than not don't know what they're saying, and are known to spread misinformation. If you guys took all the news with a grain of salt you wouldn't be dissapointed.
I've seen how you post in the forum. You are paranoid and critical of every small fault in this device. Just relax and be happy with what you get instead of being so angry all the time, you're also one of the catalysts of many flame wars because of your never ending quest to preach hatred towards SE. The disposable income comment was completely unnecessary. I also have disposable income. What are you trying to imply? See how you easily start flame wars?
@Lion. 'All that we are getting is camera'. Is that all? How about Gingerbread, facebook inside xperia, a new UI, and a lot of new apps? What else do you want?
Goddamnit people are hard to please. They take everyone's words for everything then get angry when it doesn't happen. They want more and more and more. At least be happy SE is giving us Gingerbread, instead of leaving us stuck with crappy 2.1.
