Finally got my tablet rooted and everything is working great apart from a couple of wired problems.

First - A couple of times when I've booted up the bottom 1/2 of the screen is dimmed, it's not doing it everytime only sometimes maybe about 30% of the time. Putting it to sleep and then back on again and the screen comes back fine. When I was watching the tablet get flashed to Kitkat I 1/2 remember seeing a message "could not open somthing/backlight". Anybody else got the same problem or have any idea what might be causing it ?

Second - I installed VCL when I tried to run it I I get an error message " x86 build on a non-x86 device" that stumped me as it worked just fine on 4.4.2. I checked the sys info in AnTuTu and it says processor : ARMv7 processor and CPU-Z Kernel Architecture is armv7. :confused:

I also seem to have some kind of problem the the file picker in some apps not see the ext sdcard but I'm still trying to narrow that down.

First - sometimes it happens, don't worry, be happy :) it's a firmware issue, hope, Teclast will fix it. As for "could not open somthing/backlight" - IMHO, everyone sees this message.

Second - Update VCL, they fixed this issue. IMHO - the best player for Android, sorry MXPlayer users :)

To see you configuration use "CPU Identifier" https:// play.google. com/store/apps/details?id=com.Bfield.CpuIdentifier , the only one App, that shows correct data.
[Device Reviews and Information] iggy-in-FL:
Thanks iG8R, if the backlight is a known problems I feel a lot better I was worried my tablet had developed a problem.

I got the lastest version of VCL from the app store 0.9.8 which I'm pretty sure is the version I was running before the update. I went to the VCL archive and tried all the version back to 0.9.3, all have the same error. I guess I have to wait for a new update and see if that one will work. :(

This one is working for me.

By the way, if you are going to install XBMC, use ARMv7 version. I don't know why but only ARMv7 is working on our Tablet.

Anyone tried spotify with kitkat?

The app compatibility in 4.2 was by far better...
[Device Reviews and Information] iggy-in-FL:
If anyone else is having a problem with the intel version of VCL I went to the VCL archive and downloaded the arm7v 0.9.8 version and that seems to work just fine on my Teclast.

teclast x89hd

hi to all,

I know i am out of subject but i can not find any forum about my tablet.i have read all the pages of this forum and i have found similar problem with yours.

a)to high temp,my tablet is overheating after 10 minutes in heavy 3d at the point i have to stop and leave it down to floor to cool down!!!

b)the battery lasts only 4 hours screen at mix use(videos,web etc) and only 2 hours on 3d games

c)backlight and low brightness the screen is like flashing

d)some time i get problem the gapps loading when i open it from sleep mode.

i have contact 3 times with the service of teclast but i got answered only once and only for the overheating they said to reduce the speed!!!!!:laugh: of the cpu and that it is a known issue that the intel cpus are overheating,for the battery they did not replied at all.

with tinydeal i have contact and after a week of emails they said to me to send it back for service exam (they ask me pictures and videos) i sent them only pics with the battery stats,i can not measure the temp but i feel very discomfort with the temp of the tablet,its the worst tablet i have used.the process to return will take 2-3 months.(greece).i believe that its working perfect for the teclast standards.(for me i would like to last at least 6 hours on screen)

i wait for a kitkat version to see if it has any change but i believe its in the build problem with to small copper of the cpu and gpu at this tablet.i have reduced the speed of tablet to 1333 and the scaling on demand but still it has overheating problem.

thank you for time

no touch in windows

I am stuck: the touchscreen does not work in windows 8.1.

what I have done:

1) rooted. then flashed the windows bootloader (without knowledge of the firmware version) and installed windows afterwards. I have read that this might be connected with the firmware version.

2) so back flash of droid bootloader and flashed a new droid (including firmware?) with intel's ManufacturingFlashTool. Droid showed firmware version 1.12. The touchpad behavior was inverted!

3) so, then back again to windows 8.1. but no difference: still no touch.

Q: which drivers exactly have you installed?

Q: which device is exactly responsible for the touch (I guess HID)

Q: can so send me a screen shot from the device manager?

Q: ... and detailed information about the installed HID devices?

my device manager shows 2 unknown devices:

I2C-Controller + UART Controller

one HID device is showing a warning: "I2C HID-Gerät" (=hid-device, German Windows)

device could not be started (code 10)

The device returned an invalid HID descriptor

so I wondering if the damn driver signature system of windows is messing up the touch funtion? Or is it related to the teclast firmware v1.12?

tnx for help
[Device Reviews and Information] Zeblade:
Ok I need some help. I have got it to install Windows 8.1, and then android 1.10, 1.11, 1.12 ,1.16. Yet with each of these I NEVER get to run Intel flash tool. When I start it I have to change the 8087 to what "intel android phone" shows in device manager. intel Soc.. I go through ALL and it has NO 8087 numbers. So I put the same in both 8087 09ef.

It will say booting to droidboot success! Now all it does is restart the tablet but the tablet NEVER goes in to droidboot just restart to the OS. What in the world am I doing wrong here? I can do the stuff in dos prompt.

2nd what bios should it be on? Like I said I can get 1.10-1.16 (4.2.2) working every time through the dos prompt. Yet if I install 1.11 then go to droidboot then install this kitkat ..it all installs fine just when I reboot its stays at the red ****PAD***** never changes. Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] iG8R:
Zeblade

Please, tell me, what do you want to do?

Flash a new firmware? Use ToolBox from kostyamat https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2EtzBgf13KZOXFWRHhQMlZnLVk&usp=sharing

Get in to the "Droidboot"? - Install Android Terminal Emulator https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm and enter:

su

reboot bootloader

Or in PC terminal (cmd.exe or Cygwin Terminal mintty.exe)

adb shell

su

reboot bootloader

Or use Power and Volume "+" and "-" at the same time when you power on your Tablet.

I think you shoud start with 1.11 and now You MUST apply update_signed.zip by teclast upgrade/update android application on tablet

h..p://pan.baidu.com/s/1c01T6rl password sazr - sorry link is broken

then flash to 1.13 (touch screen doesnt'work) and then win 8.1
[Device Reviews and Information] pumputipum:
3 first issues sound like what i had with the x98 with 4.2.2 android it came with. Now with 4.4.2 kitkat situation is much better. No overheating and battery lasts much longer. Some issues still with backlight stability at low brightness. Device has also become stable by itself and have not had issues with crashing apps for few days now.

Hopefully they release kitkat for 89hd soon so you may get those issues of yours sorted.
[Device Reviews and Information] Zeblade:
What I want to do.. would help huh haha..

Ok I wanted to put KitKat on but it wont get past the 1st boot screen. For ME I cant get the Intel "ManufacturingFlashTool" to work. When I get it all set up it finds the device then reboots the device and no longer on droidboot.

So to get KITKAT to work I install 1.11 through dos yes I have tried the xtool. It installs all then just sits at the 1st boot screen. Only this kitkat. All others from 1.10-1.16 all work perfect even Win8.1.
[Device Reviews and Information] iG8R:
Zeblade

Maybe it's worth to redownload KitKat files as they could be broken?

My sequence of actions was: 1.11 -> update_signed.zip -> 1.12 ->1.13 -> KitKat -> 1.13 -> 1.16, and all firmwares worked fine just on KitKat I didn't have functioning touch :( due to update_signed.zip.

PS. I haven't mentioned "xtool", only ToolBox.
[Device Reviews and Information] Zeblade:
Ah THANKS.. big thanks.

You are SO right. It was one of the kitkats I had. I now got it working lol but no TOUCH SCREEN!. I missed the "update_signed". Getting closer.

Since I didnt come here to read lol I was putting on 1.10 then 1.11, 1.12 1,13 ,1.16.. no touch screen. Tried a different bios that started with "3G" thought..ooh an old bois. Nope WINDOWS..pffft had to almost reinstall windows but got around that to dos prompt and flashed android bios. SOOOOO .. anyway .. thanks man..
[Device Reviews and Information] Zeblade:
Well getting kitkat to run is easy just no touch screen no matter what I do. The singed update installed fine but still no touch screen. No matter doing 1.10 then kitkat all the way to 1.16 then kitkat no touch screen. Going back to 1.13-1.16 screen works great. I hope someone can figure this out.

Only thing I can think of is after installing win8.1 then this goofed it up.
[Device Reviews and Information] Doc Bubba:
It's Alive!!!

Well, after a rather torturous deliberation, and driven by what I can only describe as an unquenchable thirst for self destruction, I installed the Kit-Kat update on my tablet, for no discernible reason at all... and it works!!! (Laughing weakly in relief, and wiping brow). I don't know yet it was worth it, but it doesn't matter: kudos and deepest gratitude to all the amazing people who labored to find and prepare all the necessary files and instructions for us laydorks. You are great, guys, keep up the good work!! :good:

Also, I'd rather not stress about rooting. Anything wrong with using it "as is", when my device arrives?

Success!

So back to 1.11 -> update-signed -> 1.13 (update-signed failed) --> windows bootloader --> 8.1 --> lenovo driver package --> profit

For the 4th time my tablet shows black screen when left for a while. It gets a little hot, but screen wont turn on. When turning it off and on i get first Teclast logo, then nothing else happens.

Every time i have fixed it with a recovery wipe, and it works for a while till same thing happen again.

Now i am considering going win 8.1 and see if this is a solution, but i need to know if the touch screen, camera and 3G wont work if i do ?

Or is there any news on kitkat for the HKC2 model ?

Otherwise i will have to contact the seller, but China is a long way from Denmark so i prefer to know if this is a software or hardware related issue ?

Please advice me on this matter soon, as i really enjoy using my tablet.

Thanks for the reply. The new McDodo w/ pyramid stand is only $10.99, but I didn't see it until I bought the one with the big black badge in the middle. I'm happy with the one I ordered because it is the only one with multiple angle propping and half of it pops off the back when propping, giving the tablet some breathing room.

[Device Reviews and Information] whateveryou:
Yeah, that's the one I didn't notice until after ordering a different McDodo. But like I said, this newer pyramid one only has 1 propping angle and doesn't provide breathing room for the warm/hot back of the tablet. I recommend mine, even though I don't have it in my hands, yet.

Hello Guys,

did have anyone of you the chance to compare the Teclast x98 and the Cube Talk 9X? I had the Cube and sold it, still interested in the Teclast.
[Device Reviews and Information] iG8R:
As I noticed, both McDodo and Teclast x98 protective case have polyurethane back shield with only 1 hole for efflux of the warm/hot air. Furthermore, McDodo has closed space at the back side between back shield and back part of the cover, i.e. we have a structure like a sandwich - back side of the tablet -> polyurethane back shield of McDodo -> back part of McDodos cover. IMHO, it's not good for a heat removal. Also, as I noticed, McDodo provides the ability to place the tablet only in landscape mode but with Teclast x98 protective case you can place it both in landscape and portrait mode.
[Device Reviews and Information] :
Hey guys.

Probably the wrong place to ask this (sorry), but how is the performance of this tablet as compared to the Onda V975M?

The Onda seems to have easier steps to upgrade its ROM, plus supports TWRP, and I don't really need Windows 8.1. It would be nice to have it, sure, but it's not that much of a selling point for me.

The CPUs, though, is. How does this compare to the Onda under normal circumstances? Gaming? Battery life? General fluidity?

Thanks!

Edit: Alternatively, is there another similar tablet I should be looking at? The Cube Talk 9X, for instance, or the Onda V989? Or the P98 Air?
[Device Reviews and Information] iG8R:
As Teclast x98 3g has the same platform as Onda v975i, you can compare Onda v975m with Onda v975i, e.g. here

I have this mcdodo cover would not recommend it, its heavy and flips down very easy when you put it up , almost impossible to use in a sofa or bed, a table and not touching the tablet is the only way ,should have been some rubberlike material instead of that slippery plastic, the "riffels" is not very high either, so go buy some other cover.

Hello. Try to wipe data.

When tabled is turned off hold down volume down + power button, when screen is on release power button. Recovery menu will be loaded. From there select "Wipe data" ( or something like that ), then reboot the device.

Hope this will help.

p.s. If not you can try to flash firmware with Intel Manufacturing Flash Tool. Search this post - you will find how to do that.

Cheers Borislav

Thanks for the help. Unfotunately, factory reset didn't help, and the PC doesn't recognise the tablet on the Intel logo, therefore i can't flash it.

Any other ideas?
[Device Reviews and Information] borovaka:
You must install usb driver and hold volume up+volume down + power button to be recognized by PC.

You must use USB2 port on the PC on USB3 tablet is not recognized.
[Device Reviews and Information] Ezzored:
Yeah, i tried that, nothing helps. I guess it's dead...

Thanks for your help, i will send it back!
[Device Reviews and Information] borovaka:
Then try to return the tablet.

If you can not, you have one more option - to falsh bios directly to the chip.

Find thread in 4pda forum. There are tutorial how you can build bios programmer and flash the chip.

h.ttp://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=584828&view=findpost&p=34192046

If you do not have experience with electronic do not try this. May be go to some service with this tutorial and let them fix it.

sh: can't create /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/jit_reset_offset: No such file or directory

And I've solved it in a such way:

1. Install Xposed (don't run it)

2. Reboot the Tablet

3. In PC Terminal (i've used mintty.exe from Cygwin, you can use any PC Terminal, e.g. cmd.exe)

adb shell
su
echo 0x98 > /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/jit_reset_offset
