[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Maxximo88:
Hi,

with this guide you will erase Android or not?

So, if I'm on Win10, I can follow your guide (no Bios upgrade) to fresh/clean install Win8.1?

Could you open a single topic about your guide? :D

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] MrRimmer:
SOLVED: Battery drain on my X98

For those who can't solve the battery drain problem, my success came after going through all devices in Device Manager and noticing that the Realtek audio device was allowed to wake up the tablet. I unticked that box and now get days of standby time in W10.

Additionally, the error with unregistered device \_SB.PCI0.SEC0 is due to the driver used by Intel(R) Trusted Execution Engine Interface. Version 1.1.0.1064 causes heavy battery drain and a high PEP Pre Veto count. Rolling back to 1.0.0.1064 (09/01/2014) solves this problem.

Hi,

I want to install windows 10 from scratch on my Windows 8.1 Teclast Air II. Any experience? Would it be any issue with drivers? I have read some posts, but they are quite old.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] MrRimmer:
In my experience it ran very smoothly. Just make sure you have the 8.1 drivers to hand.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] jlanza:
Any link where I can download them? Is there any problem on using W8.1 drivers on W10?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Mikha777:
I would say no big change that I can see if you have a CH341A I will try the upgrade since worse case something wrong happen in the flash you can easily restore it bur if you don't have a programmer and everything work fine don't take the risk to brick your tablet :cowboy:

I can confirm the HG6N poor digitizer. The screen /video itself is great bit it's the movement on the digitizer is laggy as.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] valtchov:
Yes the win 8.1 touch experience on the HG6M is bad (see below).

My model numbers are HG6M (not N). Came pre-installed with android. The touch driver from from the Air 3G works but it is choppy. The touch driver from the driver pack for the "camera-fix" runs smooth but is messed up (the screen is split in two sections and mirror swapped - for the touch). So clearly it would be possible to get a smooth experience but I am unsure if a driver is available. I looked at the TouchSettings.gt files - they are all very similar.

My other HG5N (also came pre-installed with android) was installed with the Air 3G drivers and runs super smooth.

In both cases these were installed with a retail 8.1 pro image and the drivers applied afterwards.

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] YYCLeo:

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] THLW8+:
Hi I read only the HG5N is good. The other HG6N and HG6M are bad. I do not buy the wrong thing. Is it on the packaging it what version is it ? Maybe I can ask the seller if it is on the package. I will buy the X98 Air II.

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Estiui:
That's the question, how are we supposed to know which version of digitizer are we buying? :confused:
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] valtchov:
Here are my findings so far. HG6M is android installed from the factory. HG6N is Windows form the factory. I got HG6M, to convert I installed the the bios from the Air 3g, however, I think that I . need a real HG6N bios file since the hardware is different. Anyone have a link to the HG6N bios bin file? Thx

Vl
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Estiui:
So do you think that would solve the touchscreen problem? I can't help you because I still don't own any tablet, but hopefully someone will help with that!
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] JonMichaels:
Is your HG6M screen's refresh rate running at 60hz or 48hz? If it's only 48hz, that may explain why it's so laggy...
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] eltigroUK:
Just checked mate, 60Hz. The motion is fluid, just lag from the finger swipe to the screen reacting.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] JonMichaels:
Hmm... the Air II Windows 8 Bios file is here --> 1drv.ms/1EQ1X5v

AMIDUOS and WINDROYE

Hi all,

I've been searching a windows tablet to replace my old -heavy surface pro 1. I just want a tablet with longer battery life and flexible enough to live in 2 world (Android and Windows). Currently, I've installed Mac and Android on my Surface and it's working fine. It's just so hot and heavy when running, and battery is also part of the problem.

So, Teclast X98 has been in my radar. Is there anyone who want to try using AMIDUOS or Windroye in Teclast with windows pre-installed?

I'm just curious if it works. I still care for Android thing, but don't bother with dual boot thing. AMIDUOS is running android using virtual box, and IMHO, it's better than others. AMIDUOS is not free and WINDROYE is freeware.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] fcsabika:
Hi.

I read that HG6N is laggy.

Is there any solution for it?

Or where can I buy it with HG5N which does not lag?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] pet1700:
Could someone help? I am running the bios.bat file, but when I click 2 and hit enter, I get an error that states "adb" not recognized internal or external command. Could someone help?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] maxhasfun:
I had to install everything step by step from the first guide of this thread. Make shure you download the right Bios!

Another questions:

I am not really impressed by the performance of Windows 8 on that tablet. I got one of thos HG5N tablets but the digitizer is still poor (can't imagine how it is with the others...). So now I want to go back to Android:

Can I use the same Bios as for Version 1?

Can/How I install the official Intel Android Version and not the Teclast one?

Thanks for helping me out.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] pet1700:
I did. But i am stuck on the step where it says to right click the bios.bat file, and hit 1 plus enter, 2 and enter, etc. All those commands give me an error.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] maxhasfun:
Sorry, I meant this one with this Bios. Good luck!
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] pet1700:
Those steps are for the 3G version. I do not want to mess up mine.

For example, ADB states to load ./FPT -F X98Air3G.bin.

I don't understand, how are people using the steps outlined here to make their tablet into a windows tablet? If these steps are not valid, why are some saying it works for them?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] maxhasfun:
Come on, it's not that difficult. Just type " ./FPT -F X98_Air_VersionII.bin" (or how the Bios.bin from the link is called, I can't remeber exactly)
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] jlanza:

Hi there. Did you finally release an updated fixed 2.05 BIOS?

Thanks in advance.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] MrRimmer:
I guess most people have given up on this tablet now. I certainly have as I was fed up with the charging bug, which is a show stopper. It seems like every third tier manufacturer produces items with a significant flaw that renders then unusable. From now on I'm sticking to the big brands where at least the manufacturer pretends to fix problems. My tecast was replaced with a del venue pro 11 that has had over 20 bios revisions since release, and all glitches have been sorted.

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] TeutonJon78:
How bad is the touchscreen really? I was going to buy one, then started seeing all the horror stories about the refresh rate being blocked and the digitizer being bad. Is it just standard internet hyperbole, or is it actually pretty bad? The videos I've seen on Youtube of the newer model don't seem like it's THAT bad.

I'm hemming and hawing on the risk of even buying a Chinese tablet, but I'm also between the X98 Air II and the iFive Air (which although only android, doesn't seem to have the quality issues).
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] maxhasfun:
I got mine from the seller "ETstar" on aliexpress. Because I am a new member I can't post the store link, but you should find it. The cost for the Version II tablet is currently 200$, I bought it 10 days ago for 180$.

-- Thank you for the detailed guide, but i just wonted ask, why there are three parts of Win8.1 files and only pert1 being used?

They combine automatically when you decompress the files! Just make sure all 3 files are in the same directory when you unzip them.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] mtr33:
No touchscreen problems here (HG6N). AFAIK the refresh rate was a driver/windows-beta problem. The current Teclast image should be fine., but early HG5N users might be able to comment on that. See these video's for HG6N vs 3G (android > win).
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] eltigroUK:
Yup the problem is my Air II performed like the 3g in that video.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] TeutonJon78:
I wasn't referring to the display as much as the digitizer. The last few pages of discussion had people unhappy with the touch lag, not refresh.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] toms157:
It's not a digitalizer problem but a driver problem. I tried to install another driver on my HG6M Win8.1 and there isn't any touch lag but the screen is split in two part and there is only one part which works, the other part is "mirroring" and I tried to modify TouchSetting.gt but it changes nothing :(

Sorry for my English, I'm French
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] scrawl78:
Mind providing a link to the driver you tried? I'm keen to see the difference. After installing the driver, did you try running Window's touchscreen calibration wizard (where you touch all four corners of the screen)?

I have a HG6N. Personally, I wouldn't say the touch performance is terrible. The tablet is definitely usable. I've been playing Telltale's Sam and Max Culture Shock and Shadowrun DragonFall for the past week.

Where I notice an issue is when wanting to do a long scroll, such as viewing a really long webpage and wanting to quickly get back to the top or the start menu. I would expect a few quick flicks of my thumb to get me to the top of the page. But it's like the tablet/digitizer/Windows (I'm not sure which) doesn't register the speed or distance of my swipe, so the scroll doesn't have the level of velocity I would expect. I find if I make slower, longer, more deliberate swipes, I get the expected result.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] toms157:
I make a pack for that :

sendspace . com/file/z3br83

But do that only if you get a screen touch lagging :

To install this driver, you need an USB Usb mouse.

First, go to Device Manager.

Uninstall Goodix Touch HID driver.

Copy the TouchSetting.gt from "2 - Goodix Touch Driver"

Install the driver from "2 - Goodix Touch Driver"

Uninstall the driver and install the driver from "Goodix Touch HID"

One part of the screen works perfectly, but the other part is "mirroring". To return to the old driver, just modify the TouchSetting.gt : remplace SendCFG=0 by SendCFG=1 .

Sorry for my English, I'm French.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] mtr33:

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] a_kms:
Hey guys, i'm in contact with a seller on taobao for one of these tablets and i've asked him about the touchscreen issues. He says he hasn't heard of any differences between the HG5N and HG6N as they both have the same hardware, only difference is one is shipped with Android (HG5N) and the other Windows 8.1 (HG6N).

Would it be safer to buy the HG6N and risk the touchscreen or buy the HG5N and install Windows 8.1 on it? I'm after a Windows tablet so not too bothered about running Android or dual booting on this device.

Any questions you guys want me to shoot the taobao seller?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] pet1700:
I ended up just upgrading to kitkat and fixing the google play store. Thanks again for feedback guys. Maybe down the line I will give windows a try on this tablet.

The weird thing I do find on this tablet is that wifi stops working once in a while. To fix this, you have to power off and on. Anyone experience this?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] toms157:
Anyone could make a backup of his X98 Air II ANDROID Bios please and put it here ? Thanks. It's to reinstall Android because we have only the Windows version of Air II Bios.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] valtchov:
I have been doing more digging:

There are 3 Goodix touch drivers available:

v. 1.2.1.5 from 9/10/2014 (this is from the official Teclast win 8.1 image for the HG6N)

v. 1.2.1.0 from 7/21/2014

v. 0.1.10.0 from 5/31/2014 (this is the one posted above) (this was originally posted as part of the driver pack to fix the inverted camera)

HG5N with 1.2.1.0 works beautifully - ipad like touch experience

On the the HG6N/HG6M models:

v 1.2.1.0 is terrible and choppy

v 1.2.1.5 is better than above but still no where as smooth as the HG5N with 1.2.1.0 above

v 0.1.10.0 is as good as the HG5N above but has the split screen/mirror issue that was described above. Touch/Pen Calibration does not help.

Note that the the 0.1.10.0 driver has an extra co-install DLL. Also this driver ignores whatever TouchSetting.gt file you place in the inf directory. It creates its own everytime it starts. The main difference in this file that it creates is that it sets the SendCFG flag to 0 which tells the driver not to initialize the touch IC. I have not been able to get this driver to use one of the provided TouchSetting.gt files - it simply overwrites it. I looked through the driver files in v. 0.1.10.0 to see if I can find an embedded config blob that I can copy into one of the TouchSetting.gt files for the other driver but was unable to find anything. This driver somehow has an embedded IC initialization that gives a great touch experience but the screen size/coordinates are messed up.

So, after all this, I do believe that teclast can give the smooth touch experience for the HG6N/M models through a driver update, but I have been unable to find one that works. If anything, for the HG6N/M models, stick to the 1.2.1.5 driver - it is usable, but if you see how well the HG5N behaves you will keep on wanting that!

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] JonMichaels:
Does your tablet say, 'Limited Touch Support with 10 Touch Points' in the basic info panel regardless of whichever driver you have installed?

Actually, does anyone's tablet say anything other than 'Limited Touch Support?' Thanks
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] vgiozo:
Yes installed without issue, got the 1Tb upgrade on OneDrive too and 60 minutes of international calls with Skype.

The licence says I can install this software on 1 PC/MAC and 1 mobile device (2 devices overall)

Did you buy a Windows-preinstalled device?

---------- Post added at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ----------

It's not bad, it is mediocre.

But I witness this mostly on Windows folder and desktop UI environment and much less on Metro apps, e.g. IE when browsing.

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------

Mine says that too, I wouldn't worry about it.

Here is another issue I am having though

Some window or software contents appear "grainy" as if the fonts are not rendered properly under certain occasions.

Examples to try and reproduce it

1) Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management

That last window will show up in less than optimized visual form, like with non-properly rendered fonts

2) Install CCleaner, run the program.

The contents of the windows are also of sub-par visual quality.

don't know if this is a driver issue, have not seen anyone else mentioning it
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] eltigroUK:
Poor windows dpi scaling causes the grainy issue

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] amrod69:
Has anyone tried the dual boot feature? I am confused, does it run it as a virtual machine?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] JonMichaels:
Yes, it happens to mine too. It may also be a memory issue. When memory runs low, it seems like Windows automatically lowers the dpi to save resources.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] scrawl78:
Thanks. Interestingly, v0.1.10.0 installs on my HG6N but I get a message stating that the driver is incompatible with my hardware. That might explain the newer driver - Teclast could possibly be using a couple of different Goodix chips across the X98 family. It's quite common for these low cost Chinese tablets to have limited component supply chains, so they swap parts based on what's available at the time.

---------- Post added at 03:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 AM ----------

There's a couple of options that have been demonstrated:

1. Teclast created an experimental firmware which boots Android in a Virtual Environment. They have since stated this proved to be impractical and have given up.

2. gturnersr posted instructions on how to install Android and Windows and switch between the two. The catch is you need to reflash the bios every time you want to switch the OS.

3. Teclast has announced a new model X98 which apparently supports native dual boot support. It's up for preorder now and due for release on 12 December (a big sale day here in China). 10 users in Teclast's forums have been provided units to review and they're just starting to appear now. Here is one of them. Storage available on the dual boot model: Android - 5.7GB / Windows - 14GB.

That sounds best for me ... I'll wait thanks
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] TeutonJon78:
Could people post the PCI/USB Id of the digitizer between the different models? that would be a quick way to determine if they are the same or not and if it's just some odd driver thing.

On the 6 models, if the touch sensitivity OK in Android? I can always see it being a problem in the smaller fonts of Windows desktop mode, since it's not a full active digitizers like Wacom uses, so it's not going to be pixel accurate by any means.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] mtr33:
Yep, but I can't get past the Office launcher. No matter what I do it stays in Chinese and I can't sign in to my account. Would you care to give me a step-by-step?

When I launch the Office app, I get a welcome page with 3 options (T,B,A), the first being a link to the 395 trial, the second the option to buy 365 and the third the option to enter a key, which I can't find in the box.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Estiui:
Would you mind posting the review in here? For what I've guessed after Google translation, it seems like the full review cannot be showed to unregistered users not commenting on that post :(
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] vgiozo:
I don't think it is a memory issue at all though, because it only happens on some popup windows and only in desktop UI.

I was looking for the same step-by-step, but as I wrote previously this was not needed in my case, so I can't help you there if the process is different than mine.

- I only clicked the Microsoft Office icon in the metro list of apps,

- a window in Chinese appeared on which I just took a chance and clicked the button on the right (it had a pink-ish colouring), which I thought could be no other than "next" although I had no idea what it meant,

- then I was lead to sign into my Microsoft account (does not need to be microsoft's, just any email-password you use for one of Microsoft services, e.g. OneDrive) and was lead to a subdomain (h**p://office.microsoft.com/*)

- where I was shown the licence details and was provided a link to download an installer.

- I ran it and just waited for the installation to complete, hitting "next" (or rather clicking on an arrow) to move to the next step, while watching an introduction to the new office.

That's it. No product key in my box either.

Is your Windows activated properly?
