Charging again

Managed to get it to charge again.

Went to "control panel" "Device manager" "Batteries"

Then uninstalled "Microsoft acpi compliant control method battery"

Then from "Action" menu selected "scan for new hardware changes, and let it reinstall the acpi battery driver (from the web).

Now it charges up when in Windows 10.

The battery level indicator shows the percentage charge, and this increases when connected to a charger.

But it still just says "calculating" when it's trying to work out the estimated run time during battery use.

Hi everyone.

My tablet is Chuwi v89 windows tablet, not dualboot version. So I have installed androidX86 on my device. But after installition touch screen does not working. I don't find any suitable sollution to my problem. After installition I want to re-install Win 8.1 but in opening GRUB works and I can't enter anyway to bios or boot options. I tried many things to fix my tablet but I can't. So I want to ask is there any solution to my probelem. In shortly I want to re-install Win 8.1-Chuwi Rom, I want to reach my bios settings, I want to enter my bios. However I don't know how it is going to be.

Thanks
[Android General] ayamgoreng:
32bit or 64bit ?

thank you
[Android General] corduroy27:
Any Windows device that has 2GB RAM, (like our tablet), have Windows 32-bit versions only.

Also, you can't update from 32-bit to 64-bit in any case...
[Android General] corduroy27:
Does any of you tried to Factory Reset the device on Android mode?

Does this process affect OS Switch?

I don't want to risk this... :confused:
[Android General] uncleabubear:
Have you tried attaching a keyboard and mouse with a micro USB port hub? You should be able to get into the bios that way
[Android General] uncleabubear:
I recommend you don't do that, I had many problems on a different model dual boot tablet. Just delete any data, all your apps and all your accounts
[Android General] corduroy27:
[MENTION=5845407]uncleabubear[/MENTION], thanks a lot for your answer.

If you have some time, can you be more specific? What kind of problems?

And what about OS Switch?

For example, when I upgraded to Windows 10, there was no more OS Switch button on the Windows TaskBar!

I had to look for (on internet) and get it back, so I can go to Android again...
[Android General] uncleabubear:
It was another tablet so not relevant, trust me it took ages to sort out and I regretted doing a factory reset.
[Android General] uncleabubear:
The V89 works well with Google Chromecast
[Android General] corduroy27:
Well, I haven't problem with that, (the time...)

My only concern it's about OS Switch.

And I believe it's not the case. On Android, it's on Quick Settings as a feature.

Not as on Windows, that was a separate .exe file that disappeared after Windows 10 upgrade...

Anyway. Thanks again for your answer.

my Chuwi V89 Android /system partition messed up after factory reset

i tried flashing using needrom's image but it seems the bootloader is locked, the manufacturer flash tool crashed right after the flashing start

anyone can share how to unlock the bootloader?

i tried fastboot command, but all of them returned FAILED (unknown command)

anyone has tried flashing Android ROM?

it's been 2 years but i'd like to get more life from this tablet

Thanks
[Android General] Bixx:
[MENTION=231943]ils[/MENTION], Thanks for the link to the Rom.

Does anybody else have slow/fix issues with GPS?

I can see 19 satellites at times and still not fix, and at other times 5 will fix all 5.

hello friend. I want to buy this tablet and I'm curious aboute gps. did gps work on both os and where is gps better on android or windows?

thank you
[Android General] ils:
yeah, the GPS kinda weird

can see a bunch of satellite but no fix

but at least Waze works fine for me :)

I think the GPS works on both OS, it shows on the device manager

but I don't have Windows app to test the GPS
[Android General] corduroy27:
I would buy this tablet.

Does it have PlayStore?

If not, can I add it by myself without issues?
[Android General] ils:
yes, it does have Play Store

Overall Android x86 performance is quite good

but the CPU tends to run hot (55-65C) while gaming

as somebody said in the 1st page, display resolution in Android is "not native", because it's not as sharp as Windows

but i think this is because the software built because CPU-Z app detect 1920x1200 as display resolution

hopefully someone from Chuwi or modders can shed some light about this device :)
[Android General] corduroy27:
Thanks for reply!

Do you think that's a general issue for tablets on 16:10 ratio? (Windows Resolution in 1920x1200, but Android Resolution in 1280x800!!!)

or it's a CHUWI V89 problem?

I hope to find a solution for this somehow soon.

I will search for it, because basic I want this tablet for the Android part and I want it for reading too...!!!

Add any news about this if you find something.

I'll do the same.
[Android General] suspect008:
Planning on buying this, Help me on these please

Hello everyone, Im also planning on buying this but I have been thinking about following matters, if you could share some of your info with your experience with this tablet, it would be much appreciated,

1. first and foremost, is it worth to have dual OS, as seems android is not optimized ( I mean the screen resolution low and UI being blurry) almost on all these dual boot tablets? how is your opinion those who already own this tab. do you use android part?

2. It seems like GPS have some issue, but thats not that much important to me. but how is the in built 3g connectivity? is it stable and fast from anyone used it?

3. and how is the sound output, through the speakers and through headphones? Im mostly buying this for entertainment purposes as Im traveling and its hard to carry a heavy notebook everywhere I go.

4. And just above I see while gaming tablet heats upto 60C. does anyone experiencing this too? Im leaning on Chuwi over Teclast is because even teclast has a better build quality on outside, but almost all of there tabs have some kind of defect. means their internals are some what low quality I think. I ve very rarely came across defects with chuwi. So what about this heating issue for some general gamin like asphalt, dead trigger and pc game like plants vs zombies? Ive seen teclast x89 runs call of duty modern warfare 3 (2011) in fair framerates.

I hope we would build some community over this tab as it seems very reliable and quality tab.
[Android General] ils:
actually, Android Resolution is 1920x1200 but yes, the text and icon still a bit blurry than "retina"

i tried to change resolutions to 1280x800, it's getting worse (this proves that by default, resolution is set to 1920x1200)

and comparing this tablet with Yoga 8 (1280x800) in Chrome, also shows larger display area

1. i do think it's worth getting this tablet, but i bought this tablet because "Windows tablet first, Android is a bonus"

I use Windows for work, but in the end, i mostly spent the day using Android to play games :) (FF:Record Keeper, One Piece Treasure Cruise, Terra Battle)

i don't mind the "blurry" part because it still look okay+

2. sorry, haven't tried 3G, but i made a few tests call, it sounds great. the microphone also okay (i'm using speech recognition in Windows)

3. Speaker is quite good, a little on par with iPad but less bass. it definitely better than my Xperia Z Ultra

i really hope somebody with Chinese reading skill can "teach" us how to customize this tablet :)

there's a lot of resources in http://bbs.chuwi.com/forum.php
[Android General] RakeshReddy:
Just visited the forum using google translate but did not find anything useful apart from a post stating that windows 10 10049 version works and official drivers available, but no download links. Very less posts or videos on Chuwi V89 compared to Teclast anywhere
[Android General] ils:
yeah, I read that too

at least it confirm Win 10 will run on this tablet :)

I actually more curious about the resolution in Android and how to format each partition (Windows and Android) in case we need to re-install

I can access the BIOS (or EFI) and maybe we can install Windows using regular ISO, but I wonder how to flash Android OS.

about the resolution in Android, the screen capture is at 1920x1200

still wondering why it didn't look "retina" :(
[Android General] RakeshReddy:
Win 10

Hmmm USER: ayamgoreng on the first page of this thread said that there is a way to adjust partitions maybe he can help, but as per my knowledge when you try to install Windows it will give you an option to choose partition and it will install in that partition only without affecting any other partition and thereby not affecting Android partition. Yes you can use regular ISO via USB or a USB DVD Drive and install Windows without affecting Android but am only worried about dual boot switching. Teclast uses American Megatrends for bios which gives an option for Windows or Android during boot but Chuwi like others uses Insyde bios system it just switches without any option for the OS boot. I even assume there is a recovery partition available. and to top it official Windows 8.1 rom and Dual OS rom are available here

[Android General] RakeshReddy:
DPI

Have you tried changing the DPI under android???
[Android General] ils:
yes, i tried changing DPI before

it only makes icon bigger/smaller etc

didn't make the display sharper

this tablet default setting is 1920x1200 @ 220 DPi

changing to 1920x1200 @ 254 DPi makes the icon bigger (maybe a little clearer) but break SwiftKey keyboard. changing to 220 DPi back didn't restore SwiftKey, so i had to Restore Factory Default :(

i actually tried a few "button restart combo" from Android side :

holding power + Vol Up :

[Android General] suspect008:
Hello again, seems you've been busy with the tab figuring out things. sorry for my late reply as yesterday I was going home for vacation.

any another couple more things I need to know before purchase,

1. How is the front cam quality and whats the Mpixel size please? I found some says its front cam is horrible in chuwi vi8 even for skype use. so how do you feel about it? is it pixalated blurry and dark or okay for general video chat? I dont expect it to be ipad face time camera quality, but in par with a s3 or samsung VGA camera. and about the Mega pixel size is, I found 2 aliexpress sellers sells this at 179$ but one claims its 2Mp front camera and other says its 0.3Mp. and this 0.3Mp guy says 2mp is wrong and he is right. almost everywhere I find its listed as 2mp. but just I had to ask.

2. and I saw that you played some games on this. how about the heat when gaming and in general use? only one person said its going up like 55-60 when gaming but no info on what type of game or anything. but for casual games, if its going up like that means its bad.

and people, please say thank if someone helped. just a request as I ve been in xda for years and its what we can do least. :):):):)
[Android General] ils:
Front Cam Quality is not bad at all

the image size is 1600x1200, and i don't think its an interpolation from 0.3MP. 2MP sounds about right but i can't confirm the actual specs

this is the sample image

http://s529.photobucket.com/user/IDComp/media/IMG_20150409_153706_zpsuhohjzka.jpg.html

as for the heat, yesterday i reached 63-68C and there's warning like : screen brightness is reduced because of throttling (or something like this)

it was happened when i play One Piece Treasure Cruise while charging, with room temp @ 28C

well, overall i think this cheap dual OS tablet is great, especially with "Windows 1st, Android is a bonus" mind :)

but it looks like my Android OS has already "broken" because DPI changing thing. my SwiftKey layout is messed up even after i reset factory default.

maybe i'll revert to stock Android keyboard for this tablet.
[Android General] suspect008:
image sample looks good enough but cannot be compared to a s3 front 2mp cam. anyways I suppose your android is rooted. why dont you try Xposed. you may change dpi per app with the app settings module. or give google keyboard a try. it adapts to most of dpi settings.

about the temp, wow thats really high in my measures. I see its a simple android game. how about working in windows in general. watching movies, skype editing a doc or and browsing, does it heat up too? and same for android?
[Android General] ils:
tried Xposed latest APK, and i got boot-loop :(

took 3 hours to restore it, mainly because this is my first time using ADB-shell-command

LOL

as for the SwiftKey messed up UI, i think i already solved it

using DPI Adjuster, it can show the saved DPI and current DPI

as long as both has the same value, SwiftKey works okay. i restarted a few times and SwiftKey still good

and according to DPI Adjuster, the resolution is 1400x800 (plus minus the black bar)

here is the screenshot :

http://s529.photobucket.com/user/IDComp/media/Screenshot_2015-04-08-16-46-26_zpsfc3ppwem.png.html

Windows part is working like a charm

mainly because no games i'd like to play in low spec devices :)

i use Windows for work, VPN, Office app, browsing using Chrome, watching 1080p movies using MPC with DXVA, no problem

as long as you didn't gaming, the temp only range between 35-50C (depends on your room temp)
[Android General] suspect008:
wow, thats some pretty down scaling from a FHD panel. Seems like for work its just perfect, everything is good except some gaming. I do play some heavy games like asphalt 8 boom beach(believe me this thing uses processor power like a hungry animal when going on attacks) and I was hope to run some windows games just to see if it can be pushed to that level(like age of empires etc, those 2010 2011 little games) but all in short ursts like 10 or 15mins maximum 30min. perect size storage storage speed speakers 3g but this heating issue kinda worry me. and also theres no better alternative under 200$ with less than 10" and with 3g. cant consider 32GB ones because too less space on windows department. it will end just after installing couple of softwares and windows updates.

based on your hands on experience, do you think it will suffice these usage pattern?

and have anone played asphalt 8 on this tab please?

---------- Post added at 09:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------
[Android General] ils:
i downloaded Asphalt 8 from Play Store

play 1 race, the temp only reach 56-59C. maybe it'll reach 60+ if i play it longer but most likely cooler than One Piece Treasure Battle

the FPS also a little lag, but still playable, i'm guessing 24-29FPS

i think with your usage pattern, it'll suffice.

but i can't comment on "long gaming session" since i only game like 15 minutes tops in 1 session
[Android General] corduroy27:
Well, for me is the opposite!!! :rolleyes:

However, I did't find something better until now in this category. So I did my order yesterday... :)

I think in this Size, Ratio, Resolution, overall memory, (internal + external) there isn't something better on the Market right now.

The strongest opponents (in my eyes) I think there are Ramos i9s Pro, (old and more expensive), Onda V891w (with smallest battery!)

My concern now is the clarity of the screen on Android. Until I receive it I'll be in anxiously...

For those who have CHUWI V89...

On Android mode, regarding the sharpness, bringing your mind and compared with a 1024*768 display and with native retina. What do you think is closer?

...οr it's somewhere in between?

I hope that too...
[Android General] ils:
it's actually depends on your viewing distance

but i think it's closer to retina than non-retina but you get that "unsatisfied feeling" that your device didn't show its full potential :)

it's "retina-like" or imagine a retina display with blur+5% applied LOL
[Android General] suspect008:
LOL :D:D:D:good::good: Good One

Seems like Me too settled on this because of the size and 3g connection and all characteristics u mentioned. only issue seems to be the too much heat generated even for short gaming period. but I think im willing to bear that with the price point.

Can we all share where we make the orders so we know reliable suppliers. as for me here is the place im about to order,

Hi,

Has anyone attempted to do video out to an HDMI on one of these (in Win 8.1, rather than Android). How do ou go about it? Is it MHL compatible in Windows?

Thanks!

[Android General] corduroy27:
I'm glad for your answer. :D

So, it's just something that someone may can notice.

I think I'll not have problem with a 5% less Retina...

Anyway, I'll return when I have a personal opinion about it. ;)

You have right. It's good to know. Mine was made from geekbuying.

Has not shipped yet. I will inform about it...
[Android General] ngandjui:
Hi everyone, i received my chuwi today and i'm pretty impressed with the tablet and build quality.

The tablet seems to be already rooted cuz i used root checker and 2 others root checking apps and the result was it is rooted.

But binary su is not installed so i cannot used apps that requires acces grant. I installed supersu and when it start it ask me if i want to install binary su but the installation fails, same thing with busybox.

So i guess my question is, the add users and permission apps in the first post of the thread is it for binary su? If no how can i install binary su so that i can use apps like adaway, titanium backup etc
[Android General] ils:
you could try to re-root it using the app from 1st post

it will install SuperUser binary (not SuperSU)

but since SuperSU seems more reliable, I change it to SuperSU

I rarely root my tablets but is it possible root checker shows "green rooted status" without binary SU "grant"?

I thought every root operations need to be granted manually the 1st time
[Android General] ngandjui:
thanks for the answer bro

My tablet camed already setup to english also, so when i cliked the os switch button i didnt have the option to consigure Q2S config utility. i tried looking troughout the apps on the with the windows search options and in program files but i dont have any clue how to find it so maybe this is a case where the mute enable was actrivated.

any idea how to find the Q2S config utility ? if it is in fact that it is not accessible anymore does restoring windows 8 to factory will allow me to get it back ?

i'm just worried in case i accidently remove it from the taskbar and cant find it anymore
[Android General] aseem00y:
Windows 10 Upgrade

I dont feel like it would be receiving an Windows 10 Update.

Since this device appears to NOT be an x86 architecture.

If by any means it is, does it means that it will support linux too?
[Android General] ils:
my tablet also came with English option

no Q2S tools like OP explained in 1st post

the icon on the taskbar is only a shortcut

the real app is inside Program Files, look for Insyde bios folder or dual OS or something similar

(you could right click on the icon and Find Target/Open File Location to find the correct folder)

Windows 10 can be installed in this tablet (this tablet using x86)

however if you mean the official update ROM, yeah I wouldn't bet on it

but at least the new OS will run on this tablet, confirmed by the users on the chuwi's own BBS forum

I never tried Linux, but we can boot into the BIOS like normal PC does

maybe someone will share their experiences later :)
[Android General] ngandjui:
thanks again man, you're putting a lot of work in finding how this tablet works

i wanted to install xposed framework too but seeing that you had a bootloop before i'd rather have a turorial on how to fix it in case i got the same lol. Is there anyway you coiuld do one, it could benefit to everyone here in case their devices bootlop. Also on a lot of android with custom recoveries, you can save stuff like original rom, kernel and others stuff. Is it possible with adb to make a opy of the rom in case something happens ?
