[Teclast X98 Air 3G] poodoogames:
I have purchased this tablet and using it for a few weeks now. Dual boot Air II (not the 3G as I've seen videos on youtube showing that they are slower than the Air II). When I first got it, the play store wasn't working, however, when I updated the software through Teclast's update app (all in chinese) it work.

I haven't had any problems with it so far, everything is working fine. I've tried some very heavy games without any lag. It just lowers the brightness if it gets to hot. Also another note, I hated their UI, I think they tried to copy iOS. So I just downloaded a custom launcher and fixed the problem.

Based from my own experience I would recommend this tablet. I also bought it for the dual boot capabilities. (came pre-installed with dual boot windows 8.1 + android 4.4.4)
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] deepmenace:
im quite frustrated with mine...here are the reasons.

windows runs very well. would be great apart from the fact that the battery wont get me through a whole day of fair use. also, wifi seems to drop sometimes.

android runs SLOW. launcher stuff is a bit laggy. it has to pause to think quite often. and wifi, again seems very spotty - stops working for 30 seconds randomly - frustrating.

also....with regards putting different roms on, etc - there is less knowledge out there about the Air ii - most of the posts are relevant to the 3g model so finding solid information about the Air ii is difficult. I cant recommend at this stage...
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] bnsuki:
in regards to the wifi, try turning off wifi optimization in the settings

it seemed to work better on mine after I turned it off.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Luckzzz:
buddy,

how's the battery life?

any cons now???
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] arcanadei:
Got the Teclast X98 Air 2 HG8N a few days ago from TinyDeal. Arrived with dual boot 4.4/8.1, both in Chinese. Had to change to English, get online and ran OTA/Windows updates. No issues with camera orientation or Google Play. So far, very nice tablet. The Windows experience is odd. I want to swipe a lot for navigation since I've owned a few iOS/Android tablets before. Taking some getting used to actually using scrollbars again. Also found out that some sites and programs really are not designed for such a relatively small screen. Options are very small and hard to hit correctly with a finger. Stylus helps, but still tricky occasionally. I would recommend it with the caveats that it will not be in English, Android has a lot of crapware, and Windows can be tricky. I would like to install W10 and custom ROM but still trying to get a handle on the process for this model. Similar model threads are hundreds of pages, and may not be entirely compatible with this one.

Editing my post after getting a few more days hands on with this one. Initially there was a lot of focus on setup, config, tweaking, it was my new toy. Got it to a comfortable, useable state and now down to actual usage. The screen is gorgeous, that part still holds very true. The battery life is terrible. Android seems better than Windows, but I haven't done any benchmarking or close examination. It looks like for Android at least, the OS itself is consuming the most battery. I haven't gotten a single day of usage without stopping to charge at least once. I pretty much just keep it plugged up unless I walk outside with it for a bit. Right now focusing on how I can replace the pre-installed OS's and see if that will be any better. I have years of experience in IT, but not in an area like this so it is slow going for the moment. I'd recommend this still, but be prepared to tinker a long time. If you want an out of the box experience ready to go then this is not a good choice at all.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] RyanDre:
I have had my airII 3g since about february 2015. I still like it. screen is great - usually have the brightness turned right down to low as I use it indoors. have used both windows and android and it works well. I prefer to use android, windows buttons can be small to try and touch. Main use for mine is just facebook and internet browsing, and reading books, I did take it on a couple 8 hour flights and watched downloaded videos in windows and it was awesome. Speakers could be a bit louder. Once I rooted it and removed chinese android seems to run way better, battery life is good in my opinion but I guess im not a heavy user. I do have wifi drops in android although I recently downloaded wififix from playstore and it seems to be a lot better. Also after rooting i have found I rarely get the thermal brightness throttling message - cant remember last time I saw it. Tablet seems well made and has a bit of weight to it, I have mine in a Ipad air case which is good, its just the camera holes dont match. The 2.5amp charger that comes with it would be the minimum I would want to charge it with, my kids have teclast x80h with 2amp charger and its too small. I think there is also an issue when having bluetooth on for my headphone and using the wifi at same time can cause wifi to be slow. either way I am happy with purchase, knowing that at the end of the day it is a chinese tablet and would require tinkering with and maybe some issues, but its great specs for the money. I dont use 3g on it, i mainly only bought it as it was 64gig model.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Protein-:
It is a great device
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] siezed:
i have the air ii hg9m and i would only recommend this to someone who is comfortable troubleshooting and fixing small issues as these chinese tablets are plagued with them, fortunately theres tons of support from this site with lots of cool people fixing any issue that might arise, as for mine (the newest air ii at the time of this hg9m) ive only had minor issues, like choppy 3d games in android, standby battery drain in windows, some overheating, slow charging and battery calibration issues, and no ota updates in android. but the basic functionality of the device has remained in tact. Thats also a huge advantage of dual os, if im having an issue with one os i can try the other to do what i want. If youre truly looking for a trouble free experience then apple is the way to go, imo they are your best bet at a good 100% trouble free experience, but you pay a lot for those odds.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] gatorgal88:
Stylus?

Would you mind sharing what stylus are you using that works with this tablet? I have not found one that works.

Thanks!

Couple of little generics I had laying around but both had a metal mesh tip. The rubber tips didn't work for me on this one either.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4321:
Hey guys,

My girlfriends S4 mini has bricked. I've tried flashing a totally stock firmware via odin to recover it. This doesn't seem to help at all, it still gets stuck at the splash screen. I've tried flashing TWRP via odin too but that fails as well, AFAIK drivers are installed correctly, odin detects the device, it wouldn't do so if drivers weren't install correctly surely? The only mode I can get it into is download mode, if I try to reboot into recovery mode it'll say 'booting recovery' for 5 seconds or so then reboot and get stuck at the splash screen again.

Any help is appreciated, I'm a samsung noob, thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bajanman:
What recovery was on it prior to having this problem?

I read that someone was having a slight problem like you (twrp recovery), and they flashed PhilZ tar using Odin, in order to boot back into recovery.

You could try a older version of PhilZ foie your device might help...

Look here>> http://goo.gl/2xlUCO

And have you tried using the kies emergency firmware recovery? That saved a device I flashed with a stock firmware, and then the phone wouldn't boot, soft brick.

Ran the kies emergency firmware, it downloaded what was needed, then flashed it on the phone. Takes about 20-30 mins.

Keep in mind if you do try that method, no need to put the phone into download mode. Kies will recognize the phone when you connect it thru usb. And it will do the rest.

Hope this can help you fix the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4321:
Thanks, I'll be sure to try that a bit later when I get back later.

It was 100% stock when the issue occurred, no root, no custom recovery, knox is still 0x0
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bajanman:
Wow then yes that is kinda crazy then being fully stock set-up.

Then you'll want to try the kies emergency firmware fix.

Lmk how it works out for you.

I'll keep an eye on this thread for your feedback.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkywalkerZ:
Try doing [MENTION=1840999]Bajanman[/MENTION] said

If it doesnt work then try a new firmware which isnt for your carrier or maybe a different country. This is because samsung has this long lasting tradition of some of its firmware being corrupted/not booting. Screw you samsung moment when you realize that the firmware you have cooked/themed on is bullcrap
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4321:
Thanks [MENTION=5432718]SkywalkerZ[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1840999]Bajanman[/MENTION] for your help,

the current situation is that I've tried the kies recovery method, but when doing tools > emergency recovery mode, it asks for a recovery code which I dont have,

If I try tools > firmware upgrade and initialization, it asks for the model name ( GT-I9195 ) and the seriel number, which I also enter. But it then says 'GT-I9195 does not support initializing'.

I'm currently downloading a new firmware of sammobile which I can try flash through odin right?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkywalkerZ:
Yeah, odin :)

let us know
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4321:
So I tried that, unfortunatly the same issue occured, when the flash is done, it trys to reboot into recovery, fails, then reboots to the splash screen, reboots, then back to the splash screen and so on until I remove the battery
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bajanman:
Can I ask what recovery is installed? And have you tried flashing a different custom recovery thru Odin? To see if it will help boot the phone..

Someone else was going thru the same as you, and that help get them back in order.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4321:
Yeah I've tried flashing a custom recovery, nothing seems to stick, it's so strange.

Everything is 100% stock and knox is still 0x0, I'm running out of ideas. Might have to send it off.

It's frustrating though because I can get it into download mode, but the flashing doesn't seem to work
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bajanman:
I can understand the frustration you're going thru trust me.

I know you know what you're doing, but the person who said they fixed a soft brick, flashed a really old version of PhilZ to get it back. Then flash a custom Rom to get the phone up and running.

But I know you've tried Odin back to stock and nothing is working for you. What's the crazies part is that the phone was completely stock. And it's still broke:eek:...

If I see/find any thing that may help you I'll post it here ok.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4321:
Appreciate the help mate!

So I tried an old Philz recovery, that didn't stick either. I'm wondering what is really happening since if I flash a custom recovery then knox should void right? but anytime I flash TWRP or Philz, then head back to download mode it still says knowx 0x0.

What drivers did you install on your PC, do you have a link? I'm starting to think maybe that is the issue, but surely odin would refuse to flash at all if no samsung drivers were installed...?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkywalkerZ:
Sorry i lost touch with this thread and busy with studies

The only drivers that are needed are the ones that will be installed with KIES

Nothing else is needed

This is really weird of how it doesnt want to boot up even after flashing stock firmware via odin

Just a quick check, ..what options did you choose in odin ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4321:
These are the options, see the photo.

I've tried trying a few different options. Is this how it should look?

I'm a full on Samsung noob
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N0Ntoxic:
Hi, re-partition should be not ticked!, download firmware from sammobile, select it only as AP.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4321:
Cheers for the reply, so I've tried that before, saw the instructions in another thread, I'll give it another try though and untick re-partition
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N0Ntoxic:
May I ask which firmware exactly are you trying to flash?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fburgos:
From your pictures youre trying Bml4 i think its a jb with Knox , if the phone has a kk it will fail install

Why are you trying to flash with repartition and pit file?

Did you messed somehow with the partition table?

What is exactly the the phone got bricked, normal usage overheat, water damage, dropped if you have no signs damage if it's under Warranty and knox 0x0 Send it to service.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkywalkerZ:
yeah, as another user said

Re partition shouldn't be ticked

Now hopefully this does the trick

and also, if your phone came with 4.4.2, flash 4.4.2

dont downgrade. to 4.2.2
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNexus:
Try this:

Flash a custom recovery

wipe internal sd

Flash stock firmware and try booting up

Hopefully that will fix it

HI friends. I recently got my OnePlus and rooted it a few days ago. After rooting it, I put my music and pictures onto it and never plugged it in again until today. Now, it still detects my phone in Device Managers but it does not show up under "My Computers" and I cannot access the SD Card with my desktop. I tried reinstalling the drivers and having it plugged in other boot modes but it still does not work. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

[G3 General] Akhayev:
Hello everybody i had lg g3 32gb and the screen got broken so i sold it and bought sony z2.. And i really regrets buying this phone.. The best phone i ever used was g3.. So please guys dont do something stupid like what i did you really will regret..g3 much better than z2 and z3..when i get money i will buy g3 again.. I really wish that i will get money soon so i can buy it again :(
[G3 General] Polygoon7:
G3 to Z3 would be comparable. I'm not surprised you are upset with the performance on the Z2.
[G3 General] zkyevolved:
Really? Performance was solid on Z2 for me. But every device I owned had issues. I really liked the Z2, but it had SOOO many problems! But NONE of them were software or battery realated ... It was all defects... After 6 or 7 Z2s, I went for the G3 and I don't regret it. Fantastic device! Love it :) But I wouldn't say the Z2 or G3 are much better than the other! I'm just very happy with my defect free G3 and solid performance (and slightly larger screen :) )
[G3 General] schaggo:
Interestingly, I jumped from a Z1compact to the G3 and am regretting it. Software-wise, it seems, LG is/was (especially with Lollipop) rushing things. It seems incomplete, rushed, bugged. The experience feels unrefined.

The recent Sony devices (Z and up) are much closer to the Nexus in terms of flashability and handling. For the serial flashing interface (S1 mode = download mode) there is a very nice flashtool available, unlike the vietnamese-hacked LG thing there :p (no offense intended).

Overall, I like that much more than the mess the G3 is on that regard.

Screenwise though, the G3 is an upgrade from what the Z1 is. Especially viewing angle stability. The resolution is undoubtably unneeded high, 1080p is enough on the screensizes in use, period.

I will switch to the Z4 or Z5, depending on money, contracts and release date of either of those devices.

Edit

: not to talk about the battery on Sony devices... Geeeeez the G3 is hungry, unbelievable.
[G3 General] crzygrmn:
I was thinking of jumping the ship to. I have the chance of getting the z3 but that 16gb is telling me dont do it. I had the z1 and my kids liked it because of the camera and that app with the little people.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackay508:
I recently got the Shield tablet and its updated to 5.0.1 (updated as soon as i got it so never tried it on KK) but recently the controller has been randomly disconnecting during gaming but it reconnects after holding the middle button. Has anyone had simialir issues and know of a fix? Ive not rooted it yet as I havent seen a need to.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1mz0r:
I haven't run into this, but it sounds like either the Shield and the controller (and possibly other devices) are competing on the same channel; or the Shield is losing connectivity, reconnecting on another band or channel and forcing the controller to reconnect.

Example:

The Shield is connected to a dual-band router at 5GHz and loses connectivity so it tries to reconnect at 2.4GHz. It reconnects on that band on whatever channel and forces the controller to reconnect on that band.

That's conjecture, but you're not the only one experiencing it.
[Samsung Gear VR] 3dFreek:
Hi,

I have a Samsung Note

model: SM-N910F

Snapdragon

NOT an AT&T phone.

Before the arrival of GearVR I downloaded to my Samsung Note from the Play store the "Quick Shortcut Maker" then launched "VRSetupWizardStub"

Now I have the Oculus software installed and registered. Already downloaded the movie player, several games, and movies from the Oculus environment.

I received my GearVR and connected it to the Galaxy Note. The Oculus software is supposed to launch once connected to the Note but nothing happens.

(The volume is turned up. There are no apps running in the background.)

I'm lost. Any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Gear VR] boodies:
I personally had the same issue and I have a rooted t-mobile phone. What I did was update the phone to the latest firmware using kies. After that, it finished the installation once connected to the Gear VR.
[Samsung Gear VR] 67srbell:
I had the same issue. You have to physically maneuver the device ALL of the way onto the VR port. Play with it a little and it should work.
[Samsung Gear VR] jarazmek:
If you're current on firmware then make sure that the jack in the VR is pushed into the phone completely, I found since it is on a spring sometimes it will not seat all the way.
[Samsung Gear VR] Rayan:
If you are using custom ROMS you need to install AEL Kernel in order to be able to use Gear VR.

I'm running Gear VR without issues under FireKat V9 and AEL Kernel Version 7.2

Cheers!
[Samsung Gear VR] hashcheck:
If you download the gearvr sdk from oculus website inside zip is a few apks install anyone and and click open after install. It will force gearvr setup. I did this before I got my gearvr
[Samsung Gear VR] bhb01:
Hi Rayan!

as a newbie :confused: I have a plenty of question, but first of all: what if I update an original firmware with kies? I'm hungarian and my unlocked (910F with NJ4 fmw) note 4 cant find any update. But at sammob there are 3 different fmws, with NK4.

First question: (im a newbie - again) Are there any provider data in the firmware - I mean will my phone will be unlocked after an update as well? Silly question maybe.

Another one: Can I try a german firmware? Is there english language avaible? 'cos only germans has a Lollipop update (is it worth it?)

AND A MOST IMPORTANT: Will my gear VR work with NK4 or OB4 original firmwares?

if not, I have to use a custom ROM, as I see, as U mentioned.

Thanks for replies!

---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

You are right! It forces the setup, but not a firmware update! Works only IF your provider has an update. Otherwise it says "There are no updates avaible" - still stucked. Same for me too.
[Samsung Gear VR] Rayan:
Have you tried to use this German NK4 ROM and then flash AEL Kernel?

http://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/n910f-custom-rom-t2941006

But before you do anything don't forget to backup your current setup with TWRP.

But most importantly, you need to make sure you increase your knowledge from newbie to a more comfortable level, please read everything in regards of your particular Note 4 model BEFORE you do anything.

Don't rush things.... Learn, learn, learn, it's not that hard to make it work, but first you need to understand about TWRP, ROMS, Kernels and such.

Good luck!
[Samsung Gear VR] bhb01:
Thx Rayan!

And the German NK4 ROM flashed with AEL Kernel will do the trick - to recognize my Vr?
[Samsung Gear VR] Rayan:
Supposedly it should work since that setup should meet the Gear VR requirements, unless that German rom developer removed the Gear VR services (unlikely). It won't hurt to try, especially if you make sure you TWRP backup your current setup in case you need to rollback.

Good luck
[Samsung Gear VR] bhb01:
Success!

Finally done. If U have an european 910F note 4, U can force your note 4 to recognize VR. But there are a plenty of things to do before..

1. Root your phone!

- Use twrp method - google it, first hit with talkative domain name ;) IMportant to use ODIN 3.07!

2. Backup EFS, I used this one: EFS☆IMEI☆Backup, and backup current firmware in twrp

3. Download a note4 firmware from sammobile, I tried several ones, but software downloading and connecting to oculus worx only with a german lollipop (only lollipop in list)

4. Flash with ODIN, followed description of sammobile

It worked for me. I'm from Hungary, with Vodafone.
[G 2014 General] crkndll:
A number of people are trying to get the stock recovery.img for Lollipop so we can get root access, and I think I have it. I can't post it to the development section, since I'm under 10 posts.

I have an xt1064 that I flashed KennyWuLee's TWRP flashable 5.0.1 ota with. When it booted, it reverted recovery to stock. I installed BETA-SuperSU-v2.42 via TWRP, then followed this to revert to stock recovery:

http://xdaforums.com/moto...overy-t2962444

I then backed it up with Flashify. I tried rebooting first, but got stuck at bootloops, but I did verify that recovery was back to stock. Had to re-flash TWRP and clear dalvik/cache, then repeat the procedure. The recovery image I got from Flashify is a different size than the TWRP I was flashing, so I'm pretty sure it's stock.
