One week later...

Hey guys,

So I've had the tablet for a week now. I bought the Windows version. But it turns out that Windows, as a tablet, currently ... is very poor. If you want to use it as a pure tablet, there's close to no good content when compared to Android or iOS.

So, knowing this could run a Dualboot of Android and Windows, I installed the dualboot, Windows 8.1 Enterprise (only version I have a key) and Mirek's Android build.

First time around, I uninstalled the wrong things, and broke Android, ended up re-installing everything.

2nd time around, I installed the wrong Android Flash, lost Windows, had to re-install everything.

3rd time around, I tried a different ROM, but it seemed unstable and didn't seem to work well, so I reinstalled Android only.

That last time, I have Mirek's ROM for Android, and Windows 8.1 Enterprise, and it seemed like it was going well.

Problem now: yesterday, Android started to complain with "Throttling display due to heat issue" or something. This morning, I had a BSOD in Windows for no obvious reason. It seems also that the graphic chip started to have troubles; heck, I don't think flash games for kids (like on y8 or friv) should be slow; but they are!

I am Under the impression the tablet went Under too much stress for what it can support, and the cheap material and build with which is is done is finally coming out.

Am I wrong? Are my assumptions bad, and perhaps I should get only 1 OS instead of dualboot? Could it just be the setup?

Anyone has equivalent mixed feelings about the tablet? I want to like it, I want it to be a good choice, but the more I try to use it, the less likely this becomes...

I now feel slightly better now that I have shared my thoughts!

X98 Air II Wifi Issues

I purchased 80 of the X98 Air II tablets for work.

I was sent a selection of HG5N and HG6M tablets in my shipment, roughly 40 of each. These all shipped with Android installed.

These tablets have all been flashed with Android 4.4.4 now.

After 2 weeks deployed, I am having no issues with the HG6M devices, but my HG5N devices keep dropping Wifi. Only a power reset fixes the problem.

ideas?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Xpedience:
Followup to above. We have a secure WiFi, and a Guest Wifi. The secure is managed by AD Accounts. When i built these tablets out, I used my Account. For whatever reason the secure wifi keeps bouncing these tablets off. The guest network isn't secured and works fine with the tablets.

So whatever is going on seems to only effect the Secured wifi? and the HG5N devices.. oddness.

Hello all.

Is there an english version of the Teclast Autoupdate app on android? Or perhaps an english guide for it? No idea what the info it's giving me is and of course what each clickable button does as everything is in Chinese. I'm pretty sure an update is available through the app however.

Thanks.

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] MrRimmer:
I tried but still the same problem afterwards.

Please search the thread, this has been mentioned many times before. Also the 3G thread where you'll find most of the information. Hint: use Frontiers toolbox.

Can anyone with air II originaly-android-transormed-to-windows (fe. HG5N) check if the HDMI-out is working? I have HG5N, flashed windows 8.1 with bing, only this syste, hdmi out is not working. Tried with few different cables and adapters which work with other devices.

contacted seller and geekbuying insists tah I should install android, with thich tablet came. is it the only option to have hdmi out working? could you please check if yours is working? thanks
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] tyle1720:
Hello all. Just wanted to say how helpful and in depth this thread goes. My question is regarding the Air II (non 3g version) HG8N. I want to remove the android side and just boot Windows. If I follow JonMichaels post I think i will still have the dual boot.

From what I read i need to Unlock the Bios from there I should just be able to boot a windows installation from usb. This is where my confusion comes in. Everything I have been reading is how to add windows to the single android boot. Mine came with a dual boot and an activated copy of windows. Has anyone done this or can anyone point me to a link that works? I want to fully understand the process before attempt anything.

If anyone needs a driver backup from the HG8N Non 3G I would be happy to post.

Thanks in advance
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] olibertu:
Hi, I have also HG8N version and would like remove android from tablet. But I have problems with growing temperature in Windows if charger is connected to device. If I use CPUs, in example play youtube videos in chrome, temperature is growing to 68°C on devices (90°C on cores), then tablet is automatically shutting down, or suspend. Do you have same issues, or not? Could you please check it? For checking of a temperature I using SpeedFan 4.50 program.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] tyle1720:
I can confirm that I have not experienced any over heating issues. When I first received the tablet I put it through a few burn in and bench marking programs to stress test it a little. Mine gets quite hot but has never shut down.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] olibertu:
Which programs did you use? Had you connected charger during stress tests?

For me is running in chrome enough where temperature grow to 68 degree and about 78 degree on cores
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] tyle1720:
I was running heaven benchmark 4.0 on the basic setting. I tried on battery and while plugged in. I monitored the temps with HWinfo and they did not reach 78c

Any luck figuring out how to remove android and do a fresh install of windows?

Teclast X98 Air II Crashed flashing to Android

Hi everyone,

I have a Teclast X98 Air II HG6N and I was trying to flash it from Win 8.1 to Android with Manufacturing Flash Tool and in the first try I was successful but then I realised that the partition is not what i wanted so I committed to reflash it, and in the second it started to flash normally but then it crashed and the tablet went off, since then I tried to flash it again but everytime it crashes again. Could you please let me know how i can fix this issue???:(:(:( I am really disappointed!!!

Thanks
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] rwanek:
this is important for me - Can anyone with HG5N (originaly android) check IF HDMI out is working in Windows 8.1? Mine is not working and seller claims it's because this tablet is android version and i should flash android back.

Thanks

I have a HG5N with dual boot, HDMI works in windows.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] rwanek:
Thanks!

So i seems that i have some hardware issue or maybe it is also a bios difference, as you have dual bios, and i have windows only....
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] olibertu:
I have tablet a few days, I want install only windows without android, but first I must solve problems with high temperature. If tablet will be replaced I don't want touch to it. But I think it will be similar as installation windows on computer, but there are also extra drivers and maybe different version of BIOS.

I would like use 64bit version of windows, but I don't know if it's possible.

Hi all!!!

I've made a custom ROM for my Teclast x98 air II Dual Boot (HG7N) based on the latest teclast update (Android 4.4.4-V1.02) and JCEspi2005's air 3g custom ROM.

Description:

Fully rooted (Just launch SuperSU and update binary)

Deodexed

Zipaligned

Chinese Apps deleted (system should boot EN or ES, choose when downloading)

Nova Launcher as default Launcher

Google Play Fixed (integrated on System partition)

Audio fix by Frontier

Viper4Android

ES File Explorer

DPI: 264

Three XML, one stock, nopartition and the other one to flash SYSTEM partition

Original HG7N partition.tbl

Download:

X98 Air II (HG7N)-Android4.4.4-V1.02_elvisi (MEGA) -- https://mega.co.nz/#F!S0B3hJoI!114VElC-x6_wd2T_S0vb2A

- Choose between english or spanish by default (EN or ES)

I've tested installing system only, and it works fine, stock flash.xml and flash_nopartition are as they come in the official teclast update, so I'm not sure how it affects windows partitions

Enjoy!!

Slow WiFi

Hey guys,

I've been using Teclast X98 II, HG6N, Windows 8.1 for few months.

WiFi works fine only when I'm in front of the router.

As soon as I go few meters away or in the next room it goes 10 and more times slower.

I tested it with 3 devices (x98, Iphone 5 and HTC desire 500) and 2 routers (Cisco e1000 and Linksys WRT54GL)

Started with speedtest at 50Mbps on all devices, when i went in the next room it kept the speed on the phones, on X98 was 5Mbps, and it didn't kept that speed, it'd go even less at 0.5 Mbps.

It shows that the signal is there (at least 3 or 4 bars on wifi icon) but the connection is slow.

I tried the following actions:

- installed multiple driver revisions.

- Also tried all options that were suggested here in the forum, like changing settings for wireless mode to IEEE802.11 b/g

- Installed Device status dynamic regulator (it has some improvements but way beyond normal usage)

Noting improved the performance.

So I'm thinking maybe it's antenna issue, and if some of you experienced this kind of issue to share which steps were performed.

I'm also thinking to buy external WiFi on USB so I can use this tablet when I'm not in the same room where the router is.

Thanks

How to Install?

Hi Elvisi, thanks for the links - am downloading now.

Can you please advise how to install this on my tablet? I couldn't get it into recovery mode to install zip files.

Am not very familiar with installing custom roms.

Thank you.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] elvisi:
Its not installed in recovery, you have to use Manufacturing Flash Tool.

Use this tutorial www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLjayeQJg4Q, but just the part of "How to install the Flash Tool, drivers and flash the Android rom"

The way is done is:

1. Prepare Intel Manufacturer Utility using the normal process

2. Select the "System Only" Xml

3. Boot your tablet holding power + vol - vol (yes, the 3 buttons together, took me a couple of shots to realize that haha)

4. plug it in your PC USB

Intel Manufacturer will update only the Android System partition.

If you have already dual boot and you just want to install android keeping everything as it is, you have to use flash_system.xml
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] cc-band:
A quiet more easy way would be using / installing a recovery like CWM or TWRP!

Is this possible?

Any experiances?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] elvisi:
At the moment there is no custom recovery for this tablet, I think someone is working on it, but I don´t know in witch point it is now

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] microb77:
Hey Elvisi,

I didn't test it yet, got dragged into something else... Before doing it, I'd like your opinion.

I already have the "other" dual boot, the one from the x98 3g thread. I installed the air ii dual boot bios - can't seem to see any difference (maybe there's none?). Right now I run Windows 8.1 Enterprise and one of Mirek's build - but my tablet is recognized as C9J7. It has all the GPS & mobile crap - which I can't use (don't have the hardware). I really only have 3 "problems" - and they're not really problems...

1. There is no OTA - which I would like to get back in case teclast eventually push something worth it

2. The tablet thinks its a C9J7 when it is not and there's a couple of unusable things like dialer & gps which I can't uninstall (when I tried, it broke my android)

3. It is a tad bit slower than it was originally - and I think this is due to the fastmode fix for 3D games which Mirek included in his ROM.

Given all the above - would I benefit from using your Android ROM? Is it guesswork? Or would it just be the same?

thanks!
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Alan1977:
Hi

just been pointed to this subforum from the air 3g subforum

I have an air 2 (HG8N) Dual boot

ive decided that the windows installation is unnecessary and pretty useless to me

so i was looking at going full android..

so, wit that in mind, can elvisi's HG7N image be safely used? :S

Thanks
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] microb77:
Yes sure. You should be able to use flash.xml which uses the whole space.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Alan1977:
Yes, i see that form the past few posts. But is there any compatability issues with installing the HG7N Rom on an HG8N device? or is it really only a software variant?

Thanks
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] MrRimmer:
I've updated my H6GM with 15.33.32.4061 and all seems OK.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] elvisi:
I tried jcespi ROM because there wasn't any ROM for my air ii model, and I had just the same "problems" you mentioned in point 2, that's why I decided to do my own air ii ROM. So it depends on how annoying those aspects are for you, I couldn't stand the signal icon on the notification bar. hehehe

About the OTA app, I kept it on the ROM but I'm not sure if it works on a rooted android

I didn't applied the fastmode fix because I didn't have those issues so I don't know how it affects to tablet's performance, mine is working great by the way.

So I don't know how its going to work this ROM to you, but it should fix some of your issues. I recommend doing a fullwipe before installing it.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] BITO12:
I did it exactly like that and everything worked fine but when it wants to start installing windows it says "Install.wim NOT found" in the little cmd box. What can I do? I already copied it over again and right now I'm downloading it again. Could it be the memory stick that's bad?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Okay so I got everything working now. I just had to put the memory stick with the windows image in the first slot of my USB hub and then start the small stick (slot 2, WINPE) through the BIOS. Then everything went just fine. So if anybody has the same problem: switch the positions in the hub!

Special thanks to JonMichaels.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] microb77:
You convinced me, I'm off to try it!

Full system wipe, you mean redoing the whole partitioning and reinstall windows afterward?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] elvisi:
No, I mean just going into recovery (you can do this with titanium backup or link2sd) and do wipes from there.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Alan1977:
wouldn't work for me

i followed hte intel flashing info from the air 3g thread

found the SOC ID and put that in

but couldnt find the android device id, when booting with -vol held i get the dual boot menu, aad it doesn't show up as a USB device, and thats where im supposed to get the Android device id's from
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] microb77:
Didn't work for me... I had to re-install everything (including windows). It looks like the partition size were slightly different between yours and the one I used (Mirek's).

Now, I'm almost up & running, but I cannot get Google Launcher to actually kick in. I installed it, but cannot "clear defaults" on Nova. So I installed "Apex", but google launcher is not showing up no matter what... Any hint?

---------- Post added at 01:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

Ok, finally it is because the Google Services were not up to date; updating that solved this issue.

I don't have the HG7N but the HG6N (no clue what the difference is?). What I can tell you now is I get throttling due to thermal events, which I didn't get with Mirek's. I also cannot use OneNote - for some reason it just doesn't work (also was working on the other rom?)

I will continue to use it for a while for future testing, but I think it is not quite yet ready.

Michel
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] elvisi:
SOC device VID: 8087 FID: 0A65

Android Device VID:8087 FID: 09EF

This according to the last HG8N update manual from teclast.

Sorry to hear that, did you install system only xml?, because it shouldn't mess with partitions. If you used any of the other xml's the partition table changes from mireks (3g air model) so its normal everything change.

I have the message of throttling due to thermal events, but everything works fine for me, I mean, doesn´t have any repercution in performace, at least none I can notice.

I'll try to install OneNote later, because I don't understand why is not working, the only thing I did is deleting chinese apps and install some new apps. I had some problems with some titanium backups, I had to install some apps from playstore and restore just data, but I thought it was ebcase I made the backup from a odexed rom (stock one) and I was restoring it in the modified rom, maybe has something to do wiht that? lets find out and try to get a better rom for all us air II users ;)

Edit:

I've just install oneNote and its working fine, try to delete data or reinstall the app, or even wipe dalvik cache
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Alan1977:
Bingo

thanks.. almost perfect.. i chose "flash" which i thought was the whole partition, but storage seems to not be the full 32 gb

i have 6.55 available

I assume only the android partition has been flashed

Edit

its the last partition in partition.tbl that needs to be increased to full size?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] elvisi:
That's because it has used the air II dual boot stock partition.tbl, here is a link to a set of different partion.tbl made by mirek, so all the credits to him

Yer that makes sense

Hmm the files there show 0 bytes for me, and largest data partition is 10gb.. ive got 32gb total....

I assume i can just amend the size of the last table manually in the tbl file, just trying to work out to what size

Thanks for your help
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] elvisi:
Try again, I modified the link. there is one folder called android only, that's the one you should use
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Alan1977:
Ha yer that works now, has my hardware id changed now that i am on the HG7N rom?

so sorry for all the questions
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] microb77:
Wiped the cache, didn't fix it :( I log in, and it crashes on "Setting up OneNote".

Also, I cannot launch Asphalt 8 - it starts loading and just go back to home screen, or will crash, before I get anywhere...

I like not seeing the phone stuff, but it looks like for now I'll have to live with it. Perhaps that the fact that I have a HG6N instead of a HG7N makes a difference?

Which BIOS are you running?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] elvisi:
I'm with stock bios (I think is 1.04), I'm really sorry its not working ok for you, I'm not sure the difference between hg6n and hg7n, maybe is there the reason, beacuse everything is working fine for me :(
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] YYCLeo:
Great work, Elvisi!

I take it this won't be an issue if I flash the rom on a HG5N? Any chance you're going to give the Air 2 a taste of lollipop? : D
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] elvisi:
Now your tablet should be recognized as a hg7n, I don't know if that is what you where refering. Don't worry about asking questions :)

---------- Post added at 06:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 AM ----------

Thank you!! :o

I really can't assure in witch model works, It should work on yours, but microb77 tryied it on a hg6n and is having some issues with some apps, so I'm really not sure why it works in some and why not.

I'm just a noob "cooking" roms, and still learning, but at the moment I don't have the knowledge to port lollipop, I'll love to by the way, but I'm staying with simple things for now. :)

Is it possible to completely remove android off this Tablet and make it 100% Windows only?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] microb77:
Sure, either you flash the dual bios and install Windows only or you install the windows stock bios laying around in the 3g thread. You will need a windows key unless you have the dual or windows version already and extract the key.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] littld:
Thanks JohnMichaels for your superb instructions. I just got my Air II from eBay and was looking forward to using it with Windows. I had to use one of my own Windows 8.1 keys but it's all set up now.

Not sure but I think WiFi might still be a bit slow. I might need to use a dongle. Typing isn't as good on screen as on the Surface 2. Battery has gone down to 7% and has been stuck on 7% for an hour. But the screen is so good and the device is so thin and light I can see past the niggles. Thanks again.

screen rotation

I got a small problem with the screen rotation on Android. I simply rotate the tablet but the screen does not rotate after the first 5 seconds or so, and I have to switch off and on the screen to get the screen rotated. So the sensor is not defective, I guess it's just a software problem. Anyone knows a quick fix on this?

BTW it's a HG9N, rooted and removed most of the chinese apps with Jumobile's system app remover.

Thanks.
