If you are not seeing the "Get Windows 10" systray icon

FYI,

Microsoft is offering a FREE upgrade to Windows 10 for any system currently running Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1. The free Windows 10 upgrade is a full version with it's own valid and unique license key.and can upgrade from an older version of Windows or perform a standalone install. Microsoft will also make the software downloadable as an ISO disc image, for those who want to keep it on DVD or a USB memory key.

This includes our tablets. In order to get the upgrade, Microsoft is pushing a Get Windows 10 app to eligible PCs.

Sometimes the app does not appear on eligible PCs. The batch file I attached to this post should correct that.

The "Get Windows 10" icon allows you to reserve your free copy of Windows 10 and will even queue up the Windows 10 installer to download on your system if you like.

To run the fixer, simply extract the Win10fix_full.bat from the archive, then right click on the file and select "Run as Administrator"

Start with option 1 which will check to see if you have downloaded the proper Windows updates.

Do I have to go through this process for each windows device I own, or could I use the same key for all devices, AFAIR the reminder appeared on my laptop, I signed up with my email and dismissed it, I don't know if I have to do the same on my tablet, what do you reckon?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] tecknight:
I think you will have to do it on each device. You won't be able to activate Windows on multiple devices using the same key.

Hi, i have the 3g c9j8 variant( dual boot)

can someone please show me a guide on how to install mirek's lollipop rom without touching or breaking the windows side?

Also after i did some updates on windows, the free space droped for 10gb to 4gb. Has anyone experianced this

thanks
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] royeiror:
Ok, I just ran the bat you posted, signed up with the tablet, waiting for the day I'm notified of my download
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] ayyyyylmao:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLjayeQJg4Q

follow that tutorial from 01:45 to 08:10

when you choose the .xml file in Mirek's rom, choose the

flash-system_only_and_format_data.xml or flash-system_only_no_data_formating.xml

the file names are pretty self explanatory, but first one formats Android then installs 5.0. Second one keeps all the data, but still installs 5.0.

If you don't really have anything important on your tablet, you're probably better off formatting it, then installing. It's likely that keeping data might cause errors.

And yes, this will keep Windows.

Guys,

From your description it sounds like your batteries are charged or should be.

So try this:

Hold POWER, Vol + and Vol - at the same time for a good 30 seconds or until something powers up.

If nothing powers up, then try this:

On a windows PC, bring up device manager. Connect a USB cable to your tablet and while watching thr device manager screen, plug the USB cable into the Windows PC.

Does Windows detect any new devices when you plug in the cable ?

Do any devices go away when you disconnect the cable ?

Report back here what happens

That's funny, cuz I ordered my tablet from Geekbuying and the only good thing I have to say about Geekbuying is that the tablet itself got delivered by DHL very quickly and with no hassles or customs fees,

Geekbuying's support is non-existent unless you haven't bought the item yet

---------- Post added at 04:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

With the 2 options he mentioned, you DO NOT use or need a partition table at all. If you flash a partition table at all, regardless of whether it's the same or different from your current layout, it completely erases every partition and creates brand new blank partitions. Then it flashes Android, leaving you with a brand new android install devoid of any user data or apps and no Windows at all.

So you opened up your tablet and added some extra heat sinking ? How difficult was it to open and then to close back up ?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] siezed:
Well wasn't very hard, I have a case tool that looks like a guitar pick with flats on it so it makes it easier but you could use any pry tool, they're like little hooks you need to unsnap. I broke my sd slot cause like a fool I didn't remove the card so when I went to pull it off it bent the slot and popped the spring out :( might attempt to fix that idk how though. Also my cover isn't perfectly right anymore, like I can squeeze sometimes and tell there's some play, I could fix that with some light glue if I wanted but waiting to see if my case that I ordered will make it not happen. It's not super easy and requires some scary force on some of the snaps but its not complicated.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] tecknight:
I heard that the SoC was not sinked well at all. Is that true and did what you did make a difference of the heat ?

Bolemo,

This post:

reports that Teclast has a modified android boot.img

that you can download here:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/vxxcb5n1zuq8m8b/boot.img

I am going to show you how to replace your boot image from within Android. It should be a lot faster than using the Intel utility.

Once you download the image , copy it to a microSD and put the microSD into your tablet.

Now boot into Android and connect your tablet to a Windows PC over USB.

On the Windows PC, bring up a command prompt

type:

adb shell + ENTER

You should see something like:

shell@x98air3g:/ $

Now type:

su + ENTER

You should see:

root@x98air3g:/ #

Now type:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/storage/sdcard1/bootback.img + Enter

This will back up your current boot image to the microSD

Now type:

dd if=/storage/sdcard1/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 + ENTER

This will copy the new boot image to the Android boot partition.

Next you can type:

reboot + ENTER

Your tablet will reboot.

Cross your fingers, disconnect your tablet from the PC and boot back into Android and hope your touchscreen now works.

Thinking of purchasing a x98 air ii

Hey guys I hope this is in the right place, I was just wondering if it is worth purchasing the x98 ii now or waiting for the newer one if its due soon with the new line of intel atom processors ?

Also how does the cube i6 or i7 remix compare do you think we could get win 8.1 loaded on with the new remix O.S?

Cheers

p.s First post so any info or time much appreciated!

I have a Teclast x98 Air II (HG8N) dual boot, and I wanted to know if it would be possible to remove Windows (I never use it) and then install Lollipop on it.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] siezed:
Yes mine was just a cheap thermal pad stuck to the soc, mines an air ii which means there's no metal shield thing like on the 3G. Kind of a good thing as it allowed me enough room. What I did was use some arctic silver thermal paste on the pad, put a piece of galvanized steel I had on top then some electrical tape as a filler to make sure I made uniform contact with the back case, then finally some more thermal paste. I put the back cover on then took it off to see where the paste was contacting the back cover then bent it a little bit to make it all contact. But the general idea for me was to just get that heat transferred better to the back case. Any way you can do that would be good and I inly used those materials because they're what I had, you could also use aluminum, shielding or foil, copper plates, or even copper flashing, or even buy multiple thermal pads and stack em up to touch the back case. Although the guy on the first page here simply added copper plates under his 3G shield and claimed that worked as well.

Also heat then fully cool cycles really helped, maybe more for me cause I used soft materials like the paste and tape that can mold and align to better transfer heat, but it always seems to work on all my stuff to fully heat then let cool to room temperature a few times, I gained about 10c cooler by doing that, now idling at 35c before would be lucky to idle at 45.

Got the latest C5J6 64GB model just recently, noticed it's got a Samsung eMMC this time around which is great. I was worried it was going to be that rubbish Ncard 45mb/s max eMMC.

Anyone else seen that finally the Windows 81. image has English built into it and Chinese. It will install in English, reboots in Chinese for some reason on the first boot, but if you reboot it again it's in English without needing to download a language pack. Thumbs up Teclast, I guess they have caught onto the fact they are selling loads of these outside China.

Flash it using a partition tablet 100% allocated to Android would do the trick.

No luck, and geekbuying never responds to my messages. Sucks
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] tecknight:
Yes, mine idles at like 55. I may have to find me one of them guitar picks. Rather than the back of my case getting hot, it's my battery. Sounds like they were too cheap to put the right thermal transfer materials in there.

I have some experience with fixing thermal problems---I used to sell modded xbox 360s. I would buy non-functional xboxes from the pawn shop for 10-20 dollars each. Xbox 360s had a serious overheating problem. The GPU got so hot it would desolder itself from the motherboard, causing the failure. I was able to fix about 90% of them using my wave solder station and them some Arctic silver, some machine screws and washers to hold the heat sinks down TIGHT.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] guvno:
When did you buy your tablet? At least here in the UK, items shipped by DHL (from outside EU) are just like you say delivered quickly and without any extra fees... And then, about 2 weeks later, an invoice follows with customs, VAT and administration charge.

DHL cant hold all items back until you pay your charges. They do not have the capacity for that. Also, as you have then already received the item, it makes it so much easier for DHL to claim the charges... Quite sneaky here in UK...
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] tecknight:
I bought it about 3 months ago and I haven't heard a peep out of DHL.

Geekbuying submitted a document of some sort placing the value of the tablet at $40.

I'm curious, how does DHL get people to pay AFTER they already have their package ?

idk if id buy that one its from china though, i got mine with a screen replacement package when i bought a new screen for my phone. guitar pick would work about as good but the tool makes it a bit easier as its got a thumb indent and a guide u can rest on the case, make sure you do like a twisting motion to open it so as not to put a lot of pressure on the screen.

I remember someone asking about cases for this tablet and i just thought id share the one i just picked up http://www.walmart.com/ip/Lifeworks-LW-T1201B-9-10-Universal-Mag-Folio-Case-Black/38228446 got mine at walmart, lifeworks mag case. Its got some great features like the back pad the tablet attaches to rotates and comes off via magnet, the rubber holders can be manipulated so they actually sit right next to the power button on the x98 air and protect it a bit instead of push it like other strap cases, and the pad thing doesnt cover the back camera. It was a bit pricey, $35 but worth it its very well designed im liking it so far. if anyone wants pics of the way it fits the teclast lemme know, its like it was made for it.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] guvno:
Strange. Are you sure that yours came from abroad.?Geekbuyer and Gearbest do sell items that are "shipped from EU" you can look yourself. You can find a X98 being sold by Gearbest and "shipped from Spain" but the price is of course slightly higher, so perhaps your item did not originate from a country with different tax bands? I have had items delivered to myself and declared at a low value and as "gift" but if they are sent by DHL then there are always extra charges...

Just one example are a pair of shoes that I bought on Ebay from San Diego (USA) about 3months ago, they were £30.99. They arrived fine by DHL and I misstakenly assumed that the value had to be like over £50 to be caught by customs here in UK but I was very wrong. 2 weeks later a invoice arrived from DHL for £13.49 (custom charge, VAT and admin) that is almost a 45% add on to the original price?!

And yes, here in the UK they threaten you with legal prosecution if you do not pay your invoice, they already have your address...

So never again DHL. I will never buy anything of a seller who uses DHL unless the seller agrees to ship with someone else, who is probably cheaper as well. I am sure that DHL must be one of the more expensive couriers

Hello my friends

I am having a problem here with my teclats. I have the model with 32GB and windows and android working so fine. I installed the mirek rom using this procedure:

================================

In last few posts there are queries about flashing only android on dual boot tablet without affecting Windows. Here I would like to share the steps:

1. Download Mirek190's ROM (or any other which you like) from the links given in OP on first page (Anyone will serve the purpose, but as far as possible choose one nearest to your model).

2. Extract the contents on PC. You will see a file named "system.img".

3. Connect the tablet to PC (Hopefully it is rooted already). Also ADB and Fastboot must be installed on PC.

4. Reboot the tablet in fastboot mode by passing command 'adb reboot bootloader'. Tablet will now boot into fastboot mode. If it turns off, press power button once and fastboot mode will start.

5. Now flash the system.img from Mirek190's extracted ROM. 'fastboot flash system "yourpath\system.img"'. Flashing of ROM will now start and you will see the progress bar on tablet screen.

6. When finished switch off the tablet, disconnect from PC and power on. It should now boot into new ROM without affecting other data.

================================

Everything was all right but I decided to try Lollipop Mireks ROM. I did the same procedure. Now The tablet does not start in Android anymore. In Windows is OK. I can choose the Android in the beginning but the tablet restarts again to menu to choose the Operating System.

Is there anything that I can do to have android back?

Thanks for all help.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] siezed:
how is that even legal? a 45% after the sale tax that you never agreed to? thats insane id never pay that and would be very shocked to see something like that in the u.s., why is it only dhl? id investigate it, maybe the seller has an option to pay or pass it on to customer and is supposed to let you know or something.

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 PM ----------

Well, did the procedure but now I just have the

Entering DnX mode.

Waiting for fastboot command....

Well, I tried to check the values for VID and PID entering the droiboot mode but I can't see the ADB in Device Manager in this option. I hold the volume - and power but I can't see the ADB in device manager in this mode. So I can't enter the values for VID and PID. The first Values (SOC) where VID: 8086 and PID: 0A65. For Android I can't get the values. So I just replicated. I does not work. So I put the default values: 8087 and 09EF.

Anyone could help me please.

I was thinking here and I decided to use just Android, removing the Windows partition. How can I do that? Is it possible to use the Lollipop Mireks ROM in this process?

Thanks.

=====================

It WORKED here!!!! I just used the same values for VID and PID that are in techtablets video.

Thanks!!!

X98 Air 3g vs X98 Air II?

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to purchase this tablet, but can you help me answer some of the following questions?

1) Does the air 3g have a 60hz screen rate, the same as Air II?

2) If I'm planning to purchase the dual boot, would I be able to flash a different Android ROM without erasing or affecting the Windows OS? Vice versa?

3) Has anyone had a problem after 3-6 months of use?

4) Is the graphic performance as good as flagship smartphones from 2014?

I hope you all can help me out as I'm looking for a budget tablet in case my laptop no longer functions. I'm seeing a promo at banggood online with limited time at $203. Thank you.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] gajkax:
^

1.Yes it has 60hz screen refresh rate

2.You"ll be able to to flaah androis roms without erasing windows but no vice versa as far as I know.

3.I can NOT give an answer on this one, I have mine a couple of weeks and so far everything is in order.

4.The graphics are OK but not as good as flaship phones from 2014 ,but it ia not bad at all.

If you are going to play games you'll find occasionall stutter while playing games in windows,but not on all games,only on high 3d demanding games like asphalt 8 for example.

this issue is due to very high native resolution.

Yoi can lower the resolution in wondows and you'll have much more fluid experience while playing demanding games.

For watching Videos the graphics are perfect, the screen is gorgeous.

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] guvno:
The whole extra charge is not all tax... I dont know the exact figures but it is something like 16% tax, 7% VAT and the rest was some DHL administration fee. But it is all quite confusing. When you arrive at any UK airport and go through customs there are big signs saying that items under the value of £37 (I think) can be brought through as gifts... And yet my shoes for £30.99 are charged... No idea why... My last couple of items bought overseas were shipped with Singpore Post and NL post. All arrived with no extra charges...
