I have bought a nextbook flexx10 but am unable to install remix OS. I have followed all the steps highlighted before.

1. partitioned the drive with gparted to make a 10G NTFS drive

2. downloaded android x86 5.1.1 iso and remix iso from jide website.

3. used android installer and android 5.1.1 iso to install the image

4. used 7zip to uncompress the remix iso

5. then copied over the 4 necessary files from remix to the drive to the android drive

6. copied over grub.cfg

Now, I do see the entry for androidOS but when I select that, I just get a message at the center of my screen that says "AndroidOS boot failed" and a blue OK button in DOS like font. thats it.. I am interested in knowing if any additional BIOS settings needs to be tweaked.

furthermore, I have tried installing android x86 6.0 by formating the same partition as ext4. All proceeded well and i got to the last screen that said "Run android-x86 now" or reboot. I removed the USB and was able to get into android. (some missing functionality). But when i reboot into windows and try to boot into androis, I get the same message of Andoid boot failed..

Thus I need to know if there's some BIOS settings related to permissions or sorts that i'm missing.

thanks

Sorry for the late reply, use the installer and create a separate drive using C: like a D: or E: and get android 4.4 the .IMG that should work for you and the installer should do everything for you.

So use the uefi android installer after you partition a drive to load android 4.4 the uefi IMG

Its just going to piss you off though because there's no audio and seemingly no way to fix it, which is a crying shame ��

P.S. typically secure boot is off in the bios on this machine, but if by any chance you turned it on or the newer ones come that way make sure it is off or this will not work.

UEFI Settings

So I can get to a menu with 6 icons (2 rows and 3 columns) by running the "shutdown.exe /r /o" command and then going to Troubleshoot>Advanced Options>UEFI Firmware Settings and clicking restart. The problem is that when I get to this menu the touchscreen and keyboard do not work, and I can only move the highlighter up and down, not left and right. Hopefully one you guys have figured this out. I contacted the Nextbook support desk and they were no help at all.

Okay. So I was able to test this one of my co workers Nextbook and it seems like its a problem with mine.

This might be beneficial for us Flexx 11 users. It's a full port of Remix 2.0 to the Ares 8 with everything working except the camera rotation issue. Very promising. I've heard the hardware is similar. Working on attempting to install on mine. Anyone else tried it?

Hey guys,

NextBook Flexx 11, 64Gb, NXW116QC264, Windows 10

I'm really interested in trying to install Remix OS in Dual boot. However, in my trials, I goofed up my tablet. I found an image, but it turned out to be a Windows 8.1 image, and it wiped everything from my tablet. I had originally had Windows 10 on it.

Could someone perhaps be able to send me the recovery partition of their Nextbook; as long as they had Win10 installed. Maybe if I dump a Win10 recovery partition, I can do a repair on it and restore Win10 to the system.

I can't find the stock/factory rom for the Win10 version of the Flexx.

Thanks in advance,

Kori
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Wiebenor:
Just to be clear...(and this goes for everyone wondering in the future) it was windows 10, from the factory??? Last i checked

they only shipped with windows 8.1 or android, depending on the model...If not and you put windows 10 on there, back when it was free, you just use the media creation tool from Microsoft to update windows 8.1 to Windows 10 (after restoring windows 8.1)... it can do this because most tablets have unchangeable hardware, so no cd key is required...it's like how your md5 hash verifies your downloaded files, Windows provides Microsoft with your hardwares md5 hash signature and if it is in the list, then it activates the pc/tablet... but, it only works if you got it free, not if you bought it... if you bought win10 then you will need your cd-key when you re-install, while the other steps are same as above... just note, that for the free upgrade there was NO cd-key, therefore in that instance, if it asked you for a key, you would leave it blank, which you can do in any case, and add your key in from Windows if needed...

And... as for the others having sound issues in Android, I read something about a reason for that having to do with something called an... 'audio stack', I think it was??? Not 100% sure what it meant, but basically, it is designed so the audio hardware only works in windows, I think... (so they can make more money, by making you buy the android tablet separately...)

hope this helps someone who stumbles upon this thread...
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] shinobisoft:
I realize this is a dead thread, but I had to chime in... I bought my NextBook Flexx 11 from Walmart 3 or 4 years ago and it shipped with Windows 10 Home, not Windows 8.1... However, IMHO, Windows 10 is a resource hog on this little device. I'm currently looking in to installing Linux...
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Wiebenor:
Definitely agree with you there... These things have netbook sized processing power, and have no business running windows 10, unless you only need 1 app running at a time... 64gig model isn't too bad, but the 32gig one, no way... And speaking of tablets, most tablets unfortunately, have trouble booting from USB devices, at least very easily...

Installed X86 7.1.1 changed bios settings. hard bricked

Hey Guys. I have a bit more of a disturbing problem that I dont know if i can fix or not... I used the x86 installer to install the 7.1.1 version and like the others missing sound and rotation but wifi and bluetooth worked. I was curious and decided to try the 5.1.1 version but it would not boot after install. I did use the actual "install" option where it reformats the partition and installs and not the live boot option. Under the boot menu / advanced section it gives the option to enter UEFI bios which allows for many settings that I have never seen before. I changed some of these settings and rebooted and now it will go to the first nextbook splash screen and just sit there. My computer does not see the device at all and no matter what button combo I use i cannot enter the UEFI bios, recovery, or fastboot options. It will only go to the first spash screen. nothing else... I looked all over the board for a way to reset the bios and cant find anything and even unplugged the battery overnight with no change in results. Does anyone know how to gain bios access or reset the bios on this device through any other means? I have the NX16a11264 64GB 2GB ram version. It charges and turns on so I dont want to call it a hard bricked device however I cant get it to do anything at all now. Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist me with this issue.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Mordred:
I recently ran into difficulty wherein my emulated/0 partition was borked after using TWRP recovery. In an effort to fix it I reformatted a partition (no idea which one I just followed some terminal commands from someone with a similar issue) and now the phone displays a brief message about being in factory mode (comes on for two-three seconds then disappears) and shuts off WiFi. Once I enable it the phone is fine.

I have looked at the various fixes for this but when I went into the efs / factory mode folder the two files mentioned in all the fixes are not there. I created them and gave them owner information, but this does not help.

Any thoughts? Would a flash back to stock solve this?

Thank you.

Hi, the stock Samsung keyboard will randomly capitalize words which aren't capitalized while typing. It happens to random words in the middle of the sentence.

Any other users here with the same problem and an idea how to fix this?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
This is an issue with how their user dictionary works.. anytime you capitalize something, it saves that word as if it's a 'custom' word to your dictionary.. once I capitalized the word "Habit" when I was texting my wife because of a restaurant called The Habit where we live, now it always capitalizes that word when I swipe it. I've tested this theory and it does operate this way, unfortunately. What you can do is clear the user dictionary in the keyboard settings then it will revert all of those words back to normal.. until you ever capitalize them again. Sucks, but it is what it is.

I have found, however, when you "force" the UNcapitalized version of the word manually (after it auto-capitalizes it) then the next time you swipe or type that word it will be normal.. it uses statistical use data to decide which you use more, and will default to that..
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spelaben:
Well, I'm pretty sure I never capitalized words like "so", "or" and "and". :D

Will try your suggestion though, this also happened after I clean flashed a new ROM few days ago. Maybe the cloud dictionary data is messed up and flooded with falsely capitalized words.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cola Vs Pepsi:
Timeline of events:

1. Got M7 from my friend

2. It had a purple tint issue and the front camera was very pixely

3. Opened the phone up

4. Added more copper tape to the rear camera and replaced the front one.

5. Turned on the phone and the top speaker made weird static/crackling noises while playing anything in medium/high volume.

6. Disassembled the phone 3 times, and realigned the front speaker several times.

Till this day since I've opened up the phone I get weird noises coming from the top speaker.

You can hear it in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dearBj9NZUo

So the question is:

1. Did I damage the speaker

2. Or Did I aligned it wrong the 4th time?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Hard to tell, both scenario are plausible. Speakers for this are really cheap (4$ + shipping on ebay) and since you are comfortable with assembly/dis-assembly of the M7, I would simply try a new speaker.

Not sure if this is common knowledge by now but on my bus ride home yesterday I had sunglasses on and changed the orientation of my phone to landscape for a video and the screen went black. I thought it was a bug but when I removed my glasses I was mistaken.

Go ahead, try it out. :cool:

[G4 General] fireguy0306:

[G4 General] TheBiles:
Side-effect of LCD screens.
[G4 General] keithwalton:
The screen will have a polarization filter on it as well to reduce glare / reflections, when your glasses oppose the polarization of the filter you'll see nothing.

Cheap sunglasses ...

Good polarizing sunglasses will have one lens orientated at +45 degrees and the other lens at -45 degrees. That way each lens will knock out 50% of pure horizontal and vertical light each and when tilted one will let all the light through and the other will block all of the light.
[G4 General] dontbeweakvato:
I did that yesterday. I was so pissed when driving somewhere for my job. I had my sunglasses off for a min and noticed that. Freaked me out.... Big time. I was already looking for lgs number. When i figured out out. (sigh)
[G4 General] tsayin:
This is just how lcds work. The liquid crystal changes the polarization of the light when electricity is applied. Thus it switches from allowing light through the polarizing filter or blocking it.

What I still don't understand is why oled displays are polarized, though they seem to use a 45 degree angle, so they get dark, but not black with my sunglasses in either orientation.
[G4 General] guest_2011:
I first learned about it when i bought the Stylo earlier this summer. I wear polarized Rx sunglasses most of the time. My phone is 80-90% in landscape mode when i'm outside or driving. I take lots of pics, video, dashcam, gps. I returned Stylo. Just bought moto G3. Same thing. None of my other phones and tab have this issue. I've had LG optimus one, Nokias, cheaper older samsung, recent devices LG L9/90, galaxy s3, tab3. Never had a problem with polarization. I wanted to give moto a chance so i put a spare tab3 protector over the screen and it was perfect. Ordered cheap ebay protector for moto, put it over the screen, still perfect. Cleaned moto, peeled protective layers, applied the protector. Better but still dim and annoying. I then put one of the protective layers over the screen and that made viewing in portrait and landscape perfect. I can't apply the protective layer back to the protector, its not as smooth, i'm not getting rid of rx polarized sunglasses, i hate to return moto g3 bc i like it, i'm buying locked overpriced samsung S5 because it has a better screen. Somehow the thin protecting layer has the ability to neutralize polarization. I'll continue looking for solution.

Update: applying either a protective layer or another protector on top of a protector resolves my landscape dimming issue with polarized sunglasses in moto g3. I only placed it over the screen. Not sure if changes screen responsiveness on the long run. Didn't test long enough. I'm also changing my current polarized G15 rx lens to non-polarized. I'm a bit tired of always using polarized lenses anyway.
[G4 General] fpsq:
It is common knowledge.:mad: It's physics and happens every time you wear polarized sunglasses and try to look at a something that emits polarized light in the "wrong" (90° rotated) direction. Smartphone manufactures prefer to cancel out landscape view, as this is the less frequent view mode.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_%28waves%29#Unpolarized_and_partially_polarized_light

And no, it is NOT cheap sunglasses. Quite the opposite. Sunglasses that polarize the light are considered to have lenses in higher quality. It is a feature that is asked for and common for example in the better Ray Ban glasses.

When you live and/or work near water, on snow you will always want to use ONLY polarized sunglasses.
[G4 General] guest_2011:
I had some improvement indoors with a regular cheap ebay screen protector but in car its dim, almost no difference with or without protector. Applying another protector on top of a protector makes a difference, but still not perfect. I'm trying to find a protector that cancels polarization in LCD so i can use my rx glasses and the phone in landscape mode.
[G4 General] RedOCtobyr:
Very interesting discovery! Please forgiving me for posting the basically same reply (with added details at the bottom) that I did to the other thread on AC.

I just tried this myself. I used a common polyethylene ziplock bag, laid over the screen. Then put on polarized glasses to see what it did. If I rotate the bag so it faces in a certain direction, I can once again see the screen in Landscape mode. It happens to look brightest near the ziplock strip. The bag film may be thicker there, the surface is also textured in that area.

If I then look at the screen in Portrait mode, however, the screen looks dimmer near the ziplock strip. So in this particular example, there seems to be a trade-off in how the screen looks in Portrait vs Landscape.

There may be other materials that do a better job of reducing the polarization of the light from the screen. I tried having just 1, or both layers of film in the front of the screen, the results seemed about the same to me.

See the attached pictures. I put a polarizing filter on my camera, to simulate wearing polarized glasses. I oriented the filter so it worked like glasses (bright in Portrait, dark in Landscape). Then oriented the bag to maximize the brightness of the screen in Landscape mode, with another picture taken in Portrait, for comparison.

For testing, at least, perhaps you could try a large screen protector, like for an iPad. Something with enough real estate that you could cut a G4 protector from it, in the orientation you needed.

This assumes, of course, that the single film of that screen protector would help provide what you want, if oriented at the proper angle. Can you test this theory by peeling off the cheap eBay protector, and test rotating that film while wearing polarized glasses and viewing it in Landscape orientation?
[G4 General] guest_2011:
So i've finally done it. Thinking two protectors would do the trick i applied another protector. Coincidentally i couldn't peel off the top protecting layer so i kept it. Now the screen is viewable again. I decided to peel off the top protecting layer just enough to test what it would be like with just the two protectors. Dim in landscape. I left the protecting layer on for now. Hopefully someone will come up with polarization canceling protector soon. I don't feel too bad because i didn't buy flagship g3/4 but still upset. See pics below. Without glasses, portrait, landscape.
