Thank you. I was to unpatient and used vroot.

I will definitely format my device. I think this software got me some serious **** deep into the system.

Update re: rebooting issue

In case anyone else is still facing the same issue, here is a final update on my findings regarding the rebooting problem. It seems that the main issue was the WiFi sleep policy, as I'd previously suspected. Setting it to 'never' has left me having no reboots or hangs in a week or so, which is fantastic compared to before. The other changes (no SIM, no microSD etc.) seem to make no difference. The one other thing that has helped (admittedly, with a slightly different problem) was unfreezing the Teclast apps that I had originally frozen with Titanium Backup. Apparently having them frozen was causing an occasional failure to wake. Not sure which one was doing it, and don't think I'll bother experimenting to find out. They don't appear to be doing much unfrozen anyway.

Hope this helps some of you.

Thanks for this link that finally helped me install the missing pieces that Tasker complained about!
[Device Reviews and Information] cycojesus:
I've removed all chinese apps except Teclast Autoupdate and I haven't noticed a lack of stability. It's been quite stable for at least a week now with the only "problem" being that the battery drains fast even while asleep (~40% drain just sitting in my bag all day (15 hours))
[Device Reviews and Information] amadeusklocker:
Interesting. Maybe the hanging issue is still there on my X98, then, and it just hasn't reared its head since I enabled the apps again. Also, for reference, I'm getting about 10% drain per 24 hours if unused, with WiFi always on, and mobile networks on 2G only with mobile data disabled (I manually enable it when I need it, for battery reasons). Hopefully some other people can chip in and tell us what is normal for them. If other people have been getting similar battery life to me, my guess would be that you have some app installed that is either keeping a 3G connection going all the time, or preventing deep sleep. I've had both issues on phones in the past. Unfortunately very hard to troubleshoot.

On the subject of power consumption (although in use rather than when asleep), something else I've noticed is that I can underclock the processor under load to prolong battery life without any noticeable impact on CPU-hungry apps (games etc.) From memory, I've currently capped it to 1.5gHz instead of 1.8, and it seems to extend game time from about 2.5 hours to 3. Still not great, but something. In other usage (reading PDFs, browsing the web, watching videos), I've been getting around 6 hours all up, which is reasonable.

x98 Battery

Here is my experience with the Teclast x98...

(all Chinese apps are disabled except Auto Update, which is off but the app is there for manual use)

1. I'm using the tablet without sim card (no 3g). Out of the box this made a huge drain on the battery in standby and when used.

Looking in to it I noticed that the tablet was continuously trying to connect to a mobile carrier although there was no sim card and data transfer was off.

Solution: Turn on the Airplane mode and always keep it ON. Then enable wifi for usage.

2. After solving problem no.1 I encounter new battery drainer. When the tablet is in standby the build in app launcher tUI drains the battery.

Generally, in standby the tablet looses around 10% a day. That is not so dramatic until you see that 90% of that is used by tUI.

Since I come from iOS i like the launcher so I'll try and keep it. I had a feeling that the problem was caused by the WiFi so...

Solution: turn off the WiFi manually when your done with the tablet. I tested it like this in standby for few hours and looking at the stats I think the tUI stooped spending battery. Now I'm trying with WiFi always ON, and I'll see what impact it will have on the battery and see if tUI spends battery like this.

If you have different experience and solutions please write...

I also have 2 questions.

1. anyone knows when/if 4.4 is coming for Teclast x98?

2. The system version says 1.11. I red somewhere in Chinese forum (as much as I can with google translator :) ) that there is system version 1.12

But in the AutoUpdate app when I click the button it says there is no update found... So does version 1.12 exist and if it does does it fix or brake something and how to install it?
[Device Reviews and Information] BobBro:
ROMs

1.From what I have read 4.4 was going to come out yesterday and next week. I watch this site (Mike Cane's xBlog) for some updates along with the Teclast Forum. http://mikecanex.wordpress.com/ http://bbs.teclast.com/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=51

2.They talk about 1.12 but I can't find it anywhere to download or do I know what it will fix. Also no auto update for me also.
[Device Reviews and Information] chernorat:
Firmware 1.12 is required for installing windows 8.1. I am not sure if it includes any other improvement or fix. The instructions to get the firmware files can be found here:

Not original but it works =)
[Device Reviews and Information] cycojesus:
More about the battery : today I've taken the tablet with me, turned off the Wifi and didn't use it at all and in about 11 hours it lost only 4%. That's with CPU governor = on-demand, no Chinese apps except Teclast update (auto update = off).

I've added a rule in tasker to turn off Wifi when it's not connected to any network
[Device Reviews and Information] TrueKAA:
Hey Zereus! Can you pls give me the permission to download the file?
[Device Reviews and Information] Zereus:
Sry forgot to make it public access

Feel free to add comments of working changes =)

I'm realy interessted to tweak this thing.

I hope they'll release kitkat soon. Xposed framework should work for intel with 4.4
[Device Reviews and Information] TrueKAA:
Damn, unfortunately it does not work. I have copied the build.prop with adb to "/system". Unfortunately, the tablet still does not start. Any idea? :D
[Device Reviews and Information] Zereus:
Ouch...

I don'I know how to get it booting without losing your data.

bit you could try to wipe in recovery or reinstall android?

I just noticed... When I plug my Teclast x98 on a charger in settings/battery it says Charging (USB) as if I'm charging it on a standard USB port.

That will explain the slow charge time. The 2.5A charger should full charge it in about 3,5-4 hours and mine takes much more.

Anyone has the same problem or knows how to fix it?
[Device Reviews and Information] TUAAM:
I got mine yesterday and flashed windows. However the touchscreen doesn't work. Has anyone else encountered this? Or does anyone know if there is a generic touch screen driver?

[Device Reviews and Information] leroys:
What version did you come from before you flash? I know this is a different probem but suggest you try http://www.microsofttranslator.com/....php?mod=viewthread&tid=247020&extra=page%3D1

You will need to translate in Bing if your not Chinese!

try flashing from v1.12 seems to work for most.

---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 AM ----------

I have just ordered this tablet, I just wish all the info and files in the Teclast forum were easy to obtain, very difficult to find English support!
[Device Reviews and Information] TUAAM:
I just rooted then flashed the BIOS and installed from there.

I can't view that website, get a proxy error. Do you know how to flash back to android?
[Device Reviews and Information] chernorat:
I did the same and found the same problem. I think it is mandatory to install windows from firmware 1.12 to avoid the touch screen problem.

I went back to android using the instructions from the following page, under the Windows 8.1 => Android section.

cngadget.info/2014/06/11/windows-8-1-firmware-for-teclast-x98-3g-instructions/

Notice you have to copy the folder into the tablet, and execute the commands from there.
[Device Reviews and Information] TUAAM:
What file is it asking me to rename. I can't find a download link for W3G03802.bin or Rom_8MB_Tablet_Android.bin

Sorry to ask but could you write instructions in a readable format please?

Many thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] chernorat:
Download the files as described here: mikecanex.wordpress.com/2014/06/13/teclast-x98-3g-windows-files/

- Copy folder FPTW to the tablet to C:/

- In the tablet, open the windows command shell (cmd) with administrator rights (just in case). Execute the following commands:

cd c:\FPTW

fptw.exe -F Rom_8MB_Tablet_Android.bin

-When the process finishes, shutdown the tablet by pressing the power button by several seconds.

- Install ManufacturingFlashTool_Setup_6.0.30.exe in your PC (you would need iSocUSB-Driver-Setup-1.0.4.exe and IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.5.0.exe to be installed in your computer before and in this order).

- Copy CUSTOM_CONFIG.INI file to C:\Program Files\Intel\Manufacturing Flash Tool\

- Execute Manufactoring flash tool. Go to File->Settings. You have to provide the VID and PID values. In my case, they were:

SOC devices-> VID:8087 PID:0A65

Android devices->VID:8087 PID:09EF

I think they could be always the same, as I obtained them from a different forum. Anyway, you can have a look at the help document of the application for instructions about how to get this data.

- Click on Apply and OK

- Go to File-> Open and look for the flash.xml file. It should be located in folder "X98 <chinese characters>" (Rename the folder to remove the chinese characters to avoid problems to, for example, "X98 Android").

- Switch on the tablet. The Intel logo should be displayed. Connect the USB wire and the application will show the progression bar. It takes some time, so be pacient until it finishes.

- Once it finishes, the tablet will restart in Android (but in Chinese).

For me, it was not required to rename any file (except the folder to remove the Chinese characters). I think that was needed if you download older files, but it is not necesary with the current ones.
[Device Reviews and Information] TUAAM:
Thank you so much. I take it, this will upgrade it to 1.12 and I can flash Windows again straight. Is this correct?

Thank you again
[Device Reviews and Information] chernorat:
Yes, I think so. However, this how I recovered Android but I have not tried to reinstall windows 8 from 1.12 yet.

Anyway, if you plan to stay in Android, it would be better to go to firmware 1.11 (it is better). In this case, you would have to install 1.10 first and then move to 1.11. If you install 1.11 directly, then the touch screen could fail.
[Device Reviews and Information] TUAAM:
Were you able to reroot 1.12? I am using vroot, which installs but I can't get root permission in any app.
[Device Reviews and Information] chernorat:
Yes, using the chinese version of vroot and after several tries.

WiFi problem

Hi, do you have some WiFi issues with this tablet? I got mine before 5 days ago and my WiFi signal is very poor compared to my other android devices. Only when I'm very close to the router and have full signal internet working very well, but when i have signal 50-60% or less download is bad and upload is awful (on speedtest) and internet don't work or work with many packets loss and very slow. Also when I'm holding it in my hands or in landscape position signal decreases. Do you have some advice how to improve this or resolve problem?

Thank you in advance.

In terms of game play and their screens if possible please.
[Device Reviews and Information] Zereus:
cube 9x talk antutu fraud

The cube is Not faster then the x98.

The fastest tablet should be pipo p1 but i wouldnt buy a rockchip device a second time.

The x98 is absolutly smooth and has enough Power to play any game. The only problem is, its inkompatibel to some games due to the intel processor
[Device Reviews and Information] Marvido:
Maybe the intel chip is more compatible to new/upcoming games ?

I am leaning more and more towards the Teclast, if i can find it with in EU prefferebly.

Does any know what type of glass it has, Gorilla or ?
[Device Reviews and Information] cycojesus:
x98 doesn't have gorilla glass.

I have both and prefer the Cube so I'm looking to sell the Teclast (shipped from France) ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] Marvido:
How come, im curious to hear your experience with both :cool:
[Device Reviews and Information] Zereus:
I'm pretty shure it's only hard plastic and no glass screen.

And yeah, intel support on android gets better and better. Only a few apps wont run. I have more Problems with my rk3188 device than with the x98.

Hello Guys,

So I just want to reinstall the stock firmware... but I can not find this firmware... can anybody help me???

Thanks for your answer - I got the correct RAR file from this side.

But inside there are many *.img files - and a flashtool.

The Flashtool needs a BIN file... (called Download Agent).

I dont have this correct bin file.

.... tried to copy the IMG files to the sd card - but in Recovery mode I can not flash this files...

can you help me to restore?

Thanks for any help...
[Device Reviews and Information] chernorat:
I think you need the Intel flash tool.

There are some flashing instructions here:

http://cngadget.info/2014/06/20/windows-8-1-firmware-for-teclast-x98-3g-instructions-english/

You would have to follow the steps from:

1). Upgrade TP firmware in Android

to:

Root the device:

You don't have to flash the 1.12 firmware, as it is specific for installing windows, and 1.11 is much better.

Ubuntu?

Hello,

I'm impressed with this tablet but my main question is: is it possible to run Ubuntu on it?

If Windows is runing than anyone tryed Ubuntu?

I would love to run for example Xubutnu, it sould run smoothily.

Thanks.
[Device Reviews and Information] Loller1337:
I solved my problem in installing the original Firmware.

First I downloaded it from teclast.com/tools/pad/putcode.html

Now Problem was that the Flash tool did NOT recognise my correct MT Model and I was not able to flash.

Solution was to rename the cinese folders into... after that I started the flash tool and it got my MT8135 correct!

After that it was a little bit tricky with the drivers... but finaly it suceeded in flashing the stock rom back.

Thanks for all your help!

How is it going in terms of firmware updates ?

Dont intend to change to win 8.1 for now, but chose it for the intel inside so i might could go that way sometime.
[Device Reviews and Information] Logseman:
Here's a little guide on how to increase battery life on Android (Windows has a slightly better battery life on stock). The Teclast X98 has three main battery drains: a "normal" one and two stupid ones.

The "normal" drain (which could be avoided with some talent in their software department) comes from the 3G radio, which is always trying to find signal even when there's no SIM card. The best you can do about this is switch on Flight mode. You can activate Wi-fi separately from Flight mode so if you're not going to use the tablet with a 3G card there's no problem with putting it in Flight mode indefinitely.

The first dumb one comes from the processor governor: possibly in order to improve performance, Teclast put a weird minmax-like governor to the Intel processor, so that it fires up the maximum frequency when the screen is on, and one can not really be sure how well old Android 4.2 manages that sort of processor. This causes a huge battery drain alongside the much too bright screen. At any rate, the solution is simple, but it needs root (you can do this with the Chinese app VROOT): you need to download a CPU manager like SetCPU and change the governor to OnDemand. You can also lower the frequencies: the tablet does go quite fine at 1 GHz. Additionally, you can set up profiles like "min speed when screen is off".

The second dumb battery drain comes from PicoTTS: it generates continuous wakelocks with a process called AudioOut_2. The solution is to wipe PicoTTS. Since it's a system app, you'll need to be rooted.

The battery gains that we're talking about are like this: from 4 hours of screen time and terrible standby drain you can get 2 hours of additional screen time and quite good standby drain (like 8-10% every day). Sure, we're basically substituting for some of the work that Teclast software engineers should have done on the stock ROM, but if you do these steps which take 30 minutes max, your tablet experience improves quite a bit.
[Device Reviews and Information] BobBro:
Thanks for the great tips. I will give them a try. I have a 3G card in mine but unless I am going out with the tab I stay in airplane mode at home and leave the wifi on. Hope we can get some people to develop for this tablet soon as Telcast has not been doing ****-it looks like all they are interested in is rolling out more tablets. Thanks again :cool:
[Device Reviews and Information] netnoise:
Hello guys,

what would you do? I really like to buy the Teclast X98 tablet, but I am afraid of having problems with this device. It will be quite difficult to handle a warranty issue when it is bought in china.

Alternative I could buy a one year old Nexus 10 and have one yeat warranty.

What do you suggest?
[Device Reviews and Information] SonicPLD:
I wonder if someone tried and installed Windows 8.1 on it.
[Device Reviews and Information] peasodecesar:
I tried it and works well (as seen in the chinese videos) after installing some drivers packages.

I returned to android 2 days after installing windows due that my favourite apps for the tablet are easily installed on this OS.....main problem on going back is that touch panel in 1.11 rom doesn't work...so there are 1.12 and 1.13 roms for solving this issue, but are quick-cooked roms.

Hope you find my experience useful.
