Guys, I have an issue after installing win 10. Tried the upgrade and a fresh clean install.

So basically after everything is up and running my wireless works without an issue. But after the screen goes off and you turn it back on the wifi says connected but not a single webpage or network link will open. Changing access point, have different wifi routers here, while the issue is present (like in always) results in a wifi connect but no data at all. The only thing that works is a reboot.

I also checked to see if I could ping the default gateway (192.168.1.1 in my case) and not a single reply. I thought it was a bug in the power saving options, but as far as I can see it there are no options available in the wifi driver settings.

Tried different Realtek driver versions btw.

I tried this in Android and no issues at all.

Can someone re-up the download for the root file? Google Drive says it's infected and can only be downloaded by the owner. :confused:

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 PM ----------

Try the drivers for the Hi8 model, which is almost virtually identical but has no HDMI port and was made with Windows 10 or use a Ethernet USB adapter temporarily to download and run Slimdrivers. Google Slimdrivers and click the first one. It might also be that Bluetooth needs to be on at all times or turned off. I would recommend getting Slimdrivers even if you manage to get it working without Slimdrivers.

System OEM Information

Hi,

i did a clean install and everything is running smoothly, but as I used a new Windows 10 ISO of course my System OEM Information was deleted (showing the manufacturer, phone no., support times etc.)

Could someone who did a "normal" upgrade or is still running Windows 8.1 do me a favor and export this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation

and upload it somewhere or mail it to me?

Many thanks in advance for any help :)

Hi

Just bought one of these from ebay and when i connected the USB c charger i kept getting a message saying the device connected to the usb had malfunctioned over and over (very annoying)

So i decided to factory reset windows 10 by going through the windows 10 options to rest my pc

It took about a hour to do and then got stuck in a boot loop with a window popping up saying something like windows could not install press ok to start again and then it just loops back to that same pop up

So id like to factory reset the tablet ive ordered a usb c to regualr usb to connect a keyboard

Ive been to http://www.needrom.com to get the official rom for it

But the .rar is not a ISO image

Can someone kindly link me a guide to installing windows 10 back onto the tablet please

thanks

After a full week of trying everything, drivers, drivers, .... on windows 10 I finally used my win8.1 pro key that I once bought. Installed fine and nice. Drivers and how and in which order they were installed was important. But on win8.1 my wifi speeds remain normal and always up and running while on windows 10 they were an absolute disaster.

A nice tool I recommend to everyone is http://www.lovesummertrue.com/touchmousepointer/en-us/index.html

Most apps are way to small to use a finger and this thing creates a onscreen mousepad that you can easily switch on/off. Seems like an absolute lifesaver.

So no windows 10 for me on this tablet ... had enough wasting a complete week and frustration.

2. increase the free space with deleting any extra no needed file or directory, or moving the restore iso file to my desktop.

after resetting windows my touch is all wrong (inverted) i tried removing and installing the touch driver mentioned in "http://techtablets.com/forum/topic/how-to-update-to-windows-10-on-chuwi-vi8/" but the behavior stays. are there any other steps i need to take to fix this?
[Device Reviews and Information] BlueFlame:
Search this thread and the chiwi website (with google translate) for drivers for your model (serial).

They use different drivers for different serials, so pick a driver that is suited for your device.

Is it possible to install os to my tablet if i have wiped it's hard drive?
[Device Reviews and Information] CosmicDan:
Yes, you need to flash it with genuine firmware from Chuwi forums. Search for my posts in this thread, I share a few links and my experience of a fresh flash from fully wiped device (it's quite complicated and involved).

Note however that you will probably lose Windows 8 license, they key included in official firmware has been blocked. I had no issue because I already got free upgrade to Windows 10 before and kept key for it, but Windows 8 was still no longer genuine.

How to upgrade my android 4.2 os to 5.1?
[Device Reviews and Information] tiagao_extremo:
Hi, i'm hoping someone could help me with a question about usb hubs. After i bought my chuwi vi8 i was using this generic usb hub otg:

http://aliexpress.com/item/4-Port-M...ndroid-Tablet-Smartphone-YKS/32341401782.html

Surely it was working just fine and it actually could charge and otg at the same time, even with my external hd attached to it which is wonderful for a device with just one single micro usb port available. Unfortunately it just stopped working a few days ago, and it barely had a few months of usage. I had this other usb hub otg from acacis, which has a better build quality, but it's a disappointment because it can't really charge and connect devices at the same time. Even setting it to the position 2 it will still discharge a little bit over time:

http://aliexpress.com/item/10070TW-...-Simultaneous-Charging-Power/32278209427.html

Now i need to buy another usb hub, but i would like a recomendation from anyone for a hub usb otg that it actually works. Surely i could just buy another of this generic one, but if anyone could show me a better and real option i would be really grateful for it. Thanks!

How can i install windows or android if i have wiped my tablet pc's hard drive?
[Device Reviews and Information] tiagao_extremo:
Create a bootable windows 10 pen drive using official microsoft tool and choose your language, windows 10 home and x86 version. Charge the tablet to 100%, use a usb hub with a mouse, keyboard and the usb drive and you're ready to go. It doesn't matter if you had fully erased all the partitions. Windows will create all of them again.
[Device Reviews and Information] valipalakeksi:
But how can i install it then? From bios? And where can i download that tool from?
[Device Reviews and Information] darangel212:
Bro, I have Win 10 (Ver 1511 Build 10586.214) with Realtek chip, is there any solution to my wifi issue? Driver is installed but not working. Attaching screenshot.
[Device Reviews and Information] tiagao_extremo:
Yes, you must install it from bios. First you need to download microsoft tool from here:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

Like i said before, you need to use windows 10 home x86. Also, you will need an usb drive with at least 4gb. This will fully erase the usb drive.

When it's done, connect a usb hub and then connect the usb drive, a keyboard and mouse. It's better if it's usb, it won't work with bluetooth devices.

Power your device while pressing esc. This will take you to the bios setup. Choose Boot Manager

After that choose EFI USB DEVICE

Then you will see the usual standard windows installation screen. Just the usual. Windows will choose the home version and will activate it using the installation key recorded at the bios.

When it's all done you will need to install the drivers. If you want you can download them from here:

https://mega.nz/#!Rc00zYaL!INlC8bvEPAVVn_yyw2y3fMo70gix71Qd28Llw5VG38o

And that's it. It's not complicated. If you need something else just let me know.
[Device Reviews and Information] valipalakeksi:
Thank you. I got Windows 10 home installed. How do i install those drivers? There's no .exe-files. Do i have to install them from device manager or?
[Device Reviews and Information] tiagao_extremo:
You're right. You will notice at the device manager that there will be many unknown devices. After unpacking the drivers to a folder you will need to manually install each one of them right-clicking each one of them. I don't remember right now, but there will be an option for start or update driver, and then pointing to the drivers folder. After all installed you will also need to install the graphics driver, just download and install. This is the only one you will use the usual standard installation with a .exe driver:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/do...0-15-33-?_ga=1.236575043.379726733.1461191104

And that's it.

for those who upgraded to windows 10 or reset your windows, and trying to get touch working(it's miscalibrated): u need your android rooted, install paragon & hfs+ for android, some file explorer(i use es file explorer, its useful but full of crappy ads).

first, download the correct version of "SileadTouch.fw"(i think this is the calibration data) to anywhere, then open paragon app it will ask you to change selinux mode click yes, then go to es file explorer, copy the downloaded SileadTouch.fw to 0\paragonNTFS\windows\system32\drivers\ click yes to overwrite the wrong one. Then boot back to windows and congrats u have a working touchscreen again.

fyi, press power + volume up to choose to boot into android.

I haven't found yet a tempered glass for chuwi vi8 (neither do I believe there will ever make one) , but the very next best option is a screen protector I recently bought. it IS NOT tempered glass but it seems like almost glass when touching the screen.

(search " vikuiti chuwi vi8" in ebay. I bought 3x red item for about 15$)

i repeat for avoiding misunderstanding. it isn't a tempered glass but a better solution/option than the cheap film protector for screen.

Problem with chuwi vi8

Hello,

I have had my Chuwi Dual Boot with HDMI working for one week. Then all of a sudden it started showing problems to start both OS so I tried to reinstall everything. The bios gave me problem of the reknew blacklight only and I tried to reinstall the BIOS blindly, but after reinstalling the BIOS when I press the power button the led backlight doesn´t swith on and neither recognizes any USB, it only sends electricity to the USB hub.

Has anybody have any similar problem? which could be the sollution?

Great tablet but i have one issue in that the micro hdmi works fine on android albeit with borders but will not work on windows 8.1. It seems to get a signal but displays no image. I have tried to refresh windows through recovery on win 8.1 but it still does not work. Any ideas why its not working? do i need different drivers?
[Device Reviews and Information] mosbie:
I had the same problem. I wasn't able to merge the android partitions into the C partition of windows. Same screen. With an usb keyboard connected I was able to do a recovery and get back into windows. (unfortunately I don't know exactly which buttons I pressed, I had to reboot like 5 times before I had the correct ones, you need the second button on your screen, that's the one I can remember. After that you get buttons with pictures, so it's easier).

I ended up, after the recovery, by formatting the android part as a D drive.

My Vi8 arrived yesterday. I must say I'm very impressed with its performance when compared to its price point. With regards to the 'roughness' of the screen, my son and I discovered a very well applied screen protector film that was almost undetectable. After we removed it, we felt it was much better.

I've come across this problem as well. I just assumed that I would be able to move apps to an SD card but haven't had any success. If anyone would care to chime in, angelodm75 and I would be very grateful.
