No worries - happy to help :)

[Android General] bluiis48:
My humblest apologies ma'am ( embarrassed )
[Android General] chat1978:
Obviously the decision is mine. That goes without saying. You guys are always here in terms of discussion and advice and as such I made my remark.

Thank you for your answer. You have a fair point.
[Android General] Blandroid:
Thanks to you too :)

I can honestly tell you that I love mine. This is the first Chinese tablet I've owned that I could find a TWRP recovery for, backup, root and install a custom rom on within hours of getting it.

Hand on heart - I cannot fault this tablet in any way except possibly the volume could be improved in android which isn't a big deal for me as I can just use a BT speaker.

In terms of bang for your buck, I don't think there's anything better out there.
[Android General] chat1978:
Thanks. You had me convinced but then I checked the prices and they have gone up. I remember (if I'm not mistaken) ~190$ and now its 240$. I suppose its selling well and there is demand.

Once you saved your answer, the price went up :)
[Android General] Blandroid:
I think you might be mistaken - the only model I've seen for that low a price is the X98 Plus which is similar but has 2GB RAM.

I had my eye on it for a couple of months before buying and it has always been around the £172.00 and upwards ($245) mark.

PRO and PLUS are not the same tablet.......................dude

i never say they are the same, i say X98 plus have 4GB not 2GB, that's all i say

[Android General] Blandroid:
Ah, well maybe that rumour a few pages back is correct then and they're doing away with the Pro.
[Android General] chat1978:
I'm confused now. What is the difference between plus and pro? I though it was the cpu and the ram.

I'm mostly interested in the 4GB ram.
[Android General] supercowz:
Both have 4gb

But not same CPU/GPU

Envoyé de mon X900+
[Android General] chat1978:
Ok thanks. Seems that the pro has a better cpu z8500 than the plus. At least it has two memory channels so the bandwidth with the memory has to be better.

I saw the price difference in amazon and that was no more than 10$ per soc. Funny how that becomes almost 50$ difference on otherwise identical devices.
[Android General] printsofwhales:
I lost the option screen in normal use! I haven't rooted or anything. One boot I had the choice next I didn't. It boots into whichever OS I was last in. I can still switch but it is a bit of a nuisance. Anyone know how I can get the choice of OS on startup back, please?

Any more promo codes?
[Android General] Fma15:
Is this still one of the best teclast tablets? Is the overheating problem fixed at all? Overall would you recommend this tablet?
[Android General] Crazy_Oni:
Yes it is one pf the best tablets for me. The overheating problem is only at Windows. With Android there are no problems with overheating. I recommend it.

Gesendet von meinem A0001 mit Tapatalk
[Android General] Fma15:
Thanks for the reply! I plan on using Windows for more of the powerful things, so the overheating would he a problem even if it's just for Windows. Is there an easy solution for the overheating?
[Android General] Crazy_Oni:
There are two possibke fixes.

First you have to edit an xml file for cpu boost preferences and the second one is a heat sink modification with copper plates on each chip of the tablet.

Gesendet von meinem A0001 mit Tapatalk
[Android General] Fma15:
Editing the xml file doesn't seem too hard. Is that a guaranteed fix, and if so does it do a good job?
[Android General] mdrodge:
I haven't had to modify my unit apart from replacing stock Android with the Mirek190 ROM.

Windows is fine for normal use (not even warm).

I'd say the fixes mentioned above should be pretty much guaranteed to give you killer processing power without thermal throttling.

but ONLY YOU CAN GUARANTEE YOUR MODDING.

Also how much power do you need?
[Android General] mdrodge:
Ok I'm wrong after 2 hours of light use in windows it got warm.

Then I shut it down many hours later I booted in to android, after 2 minutes it turned off (I don't mean it shut down I mean it just went off)

Now it won't turn on.

Looks like 3 months of lite use once a week killed it.

Don't buy this.....
[Android General] mdrodge:
So yes I'm guessing I've melted the solder that holds the CPU on. I'm trying to send it back. If not maybe attempt a reflow.

Bad News. :(
[Android General] mdrodge:
He won't let me return it so it's a very expensive paper weight at the moment.

Don't buy this.
[Android General] JammerD:
I decided to completely wipe the Android partition and just have it as a pure Windows 10 tablet, problem I'm having after installing the G sensor and touch screen driver, my screen is now upside down and the touch screen is inverted, I guess I could try completely reinstalling and hoping for more luck with the drivers, as the g sensor seemed to be fine at first, any one know of any fix for this ?
[Android General] a1bin:
Please help :(

Hi everyone!

I purchase a Teclast tablet on Aliexpress on september. When I received the tablet everything appeared to be fine but when the tablet was on Windows mode or Android it crashed with lines.

I sent it to China for repair and have come back with the same problem.

Here is the video of whats happening:

Does anyone knows if this can be fix?

Thank you!
[Android General] shaunydub:
I received this tablet last night.

W10 took about 3 hours to do all the updates and reboots but is now looking good and in sync with my other devices :)

Android version I found to be useless so I flashed the Mirek V3 and installed Nova Launcher, it is now much better.

Will test the device today with some apps and games to see how it performs.

By the way this is K9C6 version - should install the bios flash I have seen around or just in case of issues?
[Android General] Crazy_Oni:
Never change a running system! That's my opinion.

[Android General] shaunydub:
Cheers, that's my preference too but just in case someone had experience it's good to check.

Thanks :)
[Android General] yurirui:
I have a K9C6 and it already came with the latest bios version.

Has anyone tried a 128gb SD card?
[Android General] agaryt:
I use one :) There is no problem with it at all. It works with windows and android as well.

The only problem is that I cant install programs on it when on Android but movies, books eg. no problem :)
[Android General] shaunydub:
Nice,

Can you install W10 apps from the store to it and normal desktop apps too?

X98 plus problem

I bought x98 plus . I waited for him for 30 days in Serbia itself . Finally, when it arrived I paid customs duties and VAT 70 euros. I turned on the tablet and worked ok . He offered me the update I did for android and everything went ok . Then he offered me an update for Win 10. I have left to do. When he’s done is just on the outskirts of a blue screen and turned off the .After that went off and did not want to be hoped all day .. After that, I charged it all night , and when I turned to morning . Android is no work or windows . I tried again to do clean install to win , as stated on the website again

the same thing ever happened to me , again, can not be turned on and the charger is already 3 hours and gives no sign that it is charging. When the work on android appeared were some lines and I had to turn it off , so turn on again.

Now will cease to work ... sometimes wants to bios and sometimes all day will not start.

Sending my unit back to techlast to see if they can fix it under warranty. I f###ing hope so.

---------- Post added at 03:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

I used a 128gb SD card and it was fine.

Just remember Android only works with sd cards that are FAT32 but windows will not want to use FAT32 for anything bigger than 32gb so if your card is not already FAT32 you may have issues formatting it but once it is FAT32 all should be fine, (unless)

Also there is a known issue with windows devices like this (laptops & tablets) where the SD Card will disappear in windows it's impossible to say who will be effected by this and at least one x98 pro user on this page is effected but at least two are not.
[Android General] agaryt:
of corse, why not???
[Android General] shaunydub:
Well I would expect it to work but you never know sometimes.

The specs say it only supports upto 64gb mem card but looks like this might just be for the Android side?

If I can put my Windows things on a 128gb mem card and Android on the internal then all is good.

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

Thanks for the warning, I have a 128gb card in my W10 phone (950XL) so will try that in the Teclast before buying an additional new card specifically for the tablet.
[Android General] agaryt:
Let me make it clear...

I use my devices quite intense and microSD/SD card smaller than 128 just doesn't suit me.

Therefore I do not have different ones... and because of that I got some experience with cards 128 GB. In my case I didn't met

128 GB for less that 35£ ( last one I bought more than year ago) which worked properly. All cards I bought cheaper didn't work...

The card I use now in my Teclast is about 3 years old. I paid a lot back then (don't even ask how much:( ... ) but it worked in all kinds devices I had with no problem at all form cheap Chinese no names through samsung's LG's Toshiba and others no matter what specifications of devices said...

My conclusion is. : Get original good card and it will work.

My card in Teclast is formated in NTFS and it works in windows and android. And what more important both systems can use this card with no problem at all the only thing is that Android doesn't allow to write programs on it. ( no problem with others like photos or music etc..)

I attach screen from my Teclast as a proof :)
[Android General] mdrodge:
Many devices say they only support up 64gb but that's support for you.

What they arnt saying is that they support xc class etc but my old galaxy s4 works well with a 128 card and that only supported 64.

I'd say the techlast could take a 256 or maybe more.

Also like he said get a good card.

(But that's not the reason behind disappearing cards in windows ((see x98 plus blog and you'll quickly find this)))
[Android General] agaryt:
And one thing more.

I know that nowadays you can buy it cheaper...

For example right now Mymemory uk is selling micro sd cards 128GB for 29£ and this company doesn't sell bad stuff :)

But one has to be careful anyway...
[Android General] djgholum:
Hi, I ordered this tablet and wait for delivery.

All of 30 pages of this thread I have read carefully.

New I want to ask for an easy instruction for start using this tablet. Because I read to many paradoxical ideas. For example:

1-Shall everybody try after receiving the tablet, to update Windows/android, then factory reset? Or just try to update?

2-Then which one shall be the first for update: Windows or android?

3-how we can get everything in both OS clean from Chinese things?

So please kindly somebody who has this tablet write here any kind of instruction for normal users like me, who wants to use Windows for office works and android for messaging etc.

Thanks a lot in advance
[Android General] shaunydub:
I got mine last week, first thing i did was update Windows which took a long time - about 3 hours with the various reboots and additional updates.

It ships with quite an old version of W10 but once all is updated it is great.

I then installed Office 2016 on it before trying Android.

I used the stock Android for a day but found it to be pretty useless so I do flashed the Mirek version I found reference too in this thread.

This was much better but I didn't enjoy the launcher so much so I switched to a different one which suits my needs more.

Now Android is great and I can use it for apps and games not available on W10.
[Android General] agaryt:
Windows:

For the beginning it depends where you get your tablet from... My tablet came English ready without any - even smallest- Chinese trace... ( apart from it's name obviously) I guess it was prepared by company which imported it to the UK. It is not difficult though. Google it and it will take you maximum 2 minutes to get full language of yours. On the youtube are hundreds footages how to do it.

Second - if you upgrade windows and then make factory reset you'll get back to the start point... just clean windows without upgrades and then you'll have to do it again.. so I'm not sure what are you actually asking about ??? Again -in windows operating system, factory reset means exactly what name of it says -return to the certain point without anything what was done after that point, in other words you'll get to the point when tablet left factory and you'll lose all upgrades... I think answer is clear now. Just update.

Android:

Yeahh... there are some Chinese programs etc. But for me personally Android out of mobile phone is good for... putting it back to phone only...

If you'll need to help on matter how to get rid of it without reinstalling/breaking windows I can help. Maybe the others can help about upgrades and Chinese language.

:)
[Android General] djgholum:
Thank you very much. I bought it from Ali express international version. So I hope just English. Let's wait.
[Android General] shaunydub:
I got mine from Gearbest.com.

It was also international version and everything could be setup in English.
[Android General] TheRektafire:
Is the X98 Pro still being sold? I read a couple of pages back that Teclast were discontinuing it in favor of the ****ter X98 Plus? :( I hope that's not the case, as I just started looking into this tablet and was immediately interested...
[Android General] Blandroid:
I got mine from Geekbuying and it was already set up in English - both OSes.

Teclast (unlike Onda) don't put loads of Chinese crapware on their tablets - I don't remember getting rid of hardly anything. Once I've rooted, I just freeze any odd Chinese app if I don't know what they're for or what they do - just to be on the safe side ;)

What update are you expecting to do in android? I didn't know there was one? There's a custom rom available on the Tech Tablet forum by a guy called Mirek.

Considering W10 was only released at the end of July last year, it's not really possible for there to be any 'quite old version' surely?

I think that's just a rumour. That random post was never substantiated in any way that provided checkable proof.
[Android General] djgholum:
Thanks. What is with heating problem?
[Android General] TheRektafire:
Hm, yeah, just checked both Gearbest and Banggood, on sale on both sites... That other guy is full of crap :/
[Android General] Blandroid:
I haven't had this issue and I use mine mostly for streaming videos.

There are fixes on Tech Tablets for this - one of which involves opening the tablet and sticking a pad inside to dissipate the heat. You'll find a video on how to do it on YT.
[Android General] djgholum:
Thanks, I saw some videos but they are too difficult, for me to do this, thanks again
[Android General] Blandroid:
Fair enough - hopefully you'll be lucky like me and won't need to :)

Enjoy your tablet when you get it :cool:
[Android General] djgholum:
Thanx, I hope so.

Any hope to get update for Android on this tablet?

And which way you suggest for rooting method?

And also is Cyanogen Rom available for this tablet?
[Android General] Blandroid:
I'm not sure - my experience of Chinese tablet manufacturers (Onda for example) is that they'll release a new tablet version with the latest android firmware rather than providing upgrades for existing customers.

Teclast's own rooting method is very simple - details in this brilliant FAQ thread by juan on Tech Tablets. I joined the forum when I got mine - it's where you'll find the most useful help and advice :)

Not to my knowledge. IDK if there's enough of them on the market for the CM team to entertain doing one.

Mirek's custom rom does bring some improvements though and is 100% stable.
[Android General] djgholum:
Baby Thanks for Feedbacks
[Android General] Blandroid:
YW :)
[Android General] moeds:
Hello,

I'm planning on buying the x98 pro.

I already have the x98 air 3g and want an upgrade. What is the battery life on Windows when you shutdown some services like Bluetooth, background apps, etc ?

I'm mostly using it for surf and movies but play sometimes 3d games.

Does the last one who ordered it have the heat issues or any known problems ?

Thank you
[Android General] robbbzilla:
I just got my Teclast x98pro and I am very happy so far. I did run a full scan in malwarebytes and in windows there were 2 trojans and one pup. I just wanted to warn other users and see if anyone else had the same results.
[Android General] djgholum:
Thanks for warning and enjoy your device.
[Android General] shaunydub:
I had no such things on my X98 Pro..only things I took off were a couple of links to Chinese website and messengers.

Had it around a month now and loving it...in Windows I am playing games such as Age Of Empires II, Championship Manager, Rollercoaster Tycoon and lots of other games from GOG perfectly.

I can even run Prison Architect on it, which is something I can't run on my HP laptop as it doesn't play nicely with the ATI video card. Finally I can play this game.

In Android I am enjoying Football Manager Mobile 2016 even though it isn't on the supported devices list the X98 Pro is far above a lot of tablets spec wise and this game is flawless.

I noticed the Wifi is not as strong in Android and it's not much use in the sun but apart from that I have no complaints and it far exceeded my expectations.
[Android General] robbbzilla:
I reset Windows 10 with no problems and installed mireks rom v6 and it is way better than the stock version of android. You can even get rid of the annoying volume and screen shot buttons.

Also when I reset windows and ran Malwarebytes's I still found two trojans. So be warned the latest version from Teclast seems to come with Malware. I bought mine from Geekbuying and they did set the tablet up. I like geekbuying and since the malware was still there after a reset after I previously got rid of them it tells me it is baked into the Windows os.

Overall impressions on the tab are excellent. It is very responsive. It does get warm only if doing intense work otherwise it stays cool. For the performance it is not bad. Battery could be better but it seems about 6 hours in windows average maybe more.

I do not think you can find a nicer tab for the money. I put a tempered glass screen protector and am very happy so far.

One annoying issue is the power button is a little tricky. Sometimes it doesn't want to work when you turn it on.
[Android General] djgholum:
Hi thanks for feedback.

Regarding Trojans: was it successful with malwarebytes to remove them?
[Android General] A.N.Droid:
I accidently broke the ribbon cable to the board with the volume and power buttons. Does anybody know where to get a replacement or if one from another teclast would fit? Also lost the mic. Must be drunk or something…
[Android General] A.N.Droid:
These are no trojans. Just have a look inside thise files.
[Android General] Novakingwai:
Was thinking of getting this tablet. Never done Chinese tablets before, I've only had name brand like Samsung and Apple. I've heard stories of these things stop working after a couple weeks. But I also know there are 1000's of people with working ones that you see no complaints.

Is this a good tablet? Anything similar in a similar price range from a better brand?
[Android General] djgholum:
Be sure it is good
[Android General] Novakingwai:
I ordered one. Thinking of doing a heatsink mod. Any recommendations on thermal pastes or parts to get?
[Android General] Novakingwai:
Any good cases? Would like drop proof one.

is there a tutorial to root and update the bios?
[Android General] djgholum:
You can order the original case with Bluetooth keyboard. It is nice and has good quality. I have it in white very satisfy[emoji1]
[Android General] Blandroid:
I've got this one :good:

I had to customise it with a Stanley knife to cut holes for the power/volume buttons because they're obviously on the opposite side to the iPad Air. Apart from that, it works great and the stand is handy when you're watching videos :cool:

The model has been updated but I don't think the newer one will work - looks like the plastic would be too thick to cut through accurately.

Sorry, I don't know anything about the BIOS and tend not to mess around with it.
[Android General] A.N.Droid:
http://xdaforums.com/x98-air/development/x98proandroid5-1mirek190v1-0-rom-t3268738

Prerooted rom, highly recommended.

If you dont have issues i would avoid uprading the bios. You only need to if you want to ugrade from a non multiboot x98 pro to multiboot or if you have some kind of trouble with booting. Cant remember exactly but i think some bios versions have some kind of emmc bug.

The original tronsmart case is a good deal.

After flashing Mireks rom 3rd option (removed windows, Android only) I dont have a charging screen anymore when the tablet is off, is there a way to get it back or flash something similar?
