[Windows 8 General] articsilverfox:
Yeah for me it was key to log into my google account and then do nothing in Chrome or Youtube, just let it sync and settle. Because when you first log into your google account in Android it starts syncing all your bookmarks and gmail email etc in the background. So if you go straight into youtube its just too much work for it.

So just after that first login give it 5-10 minutes, then try or at least reboot first.

I rebooted before trying anything and it was all perfect, youtube did not stutter etc.

But also I am increasingly believing how nice and stutter free the performance is also based on how good of condition your eMMC storage is. I just tried the Bliss rom I first installed when trying any of these and it was completely unusable before ( Bliss-v7.2-android_x86_64-OFFICIAL-20170626-1536_k4.9-b_m17.1_pw_rc_01.iso ) but this time placed it +15G deep inside the built-in eMMC storage and now its fantastically smooth and nice. (except zero sound, I got around that by using Bluetooth earphones, I am now tempted to just use this one for ever).

As for how the rom (Bliss-v7.2-android_x86_64-OFFICIAL-20170712-1941_k4.12-SP3_m17.2.0_01.iso) is going for me now its not so good.. I boot up the Teclast X16 the next day (today) and find youtube is failing to play and sound is totally gone again.

I reboot again and youtube plays but still no sound, sound has disappeared fully. Its almost like there is an embedded 12 hour timer inside the rom to make sound turn off as insanely paranoid as that sounds.

*EDIT*

I rebooted the Teclast X16 with out having my headphones plugged into the audio jack and the sound comes out of its built in speakers just fine. It seems if I boot up with my headphones jacked in I get no/zero sound but if I boot up with nothing plugged int I get speaker sound.

If I plug in the headphones sound continues to only come out of the built-in speakers and not the headphones!

I think if I could fix this annoying but completely debilitating idiosyncrasy I would stick with this Bliss rom, but have no idea how.

Some of these idiosyncrasies are so bizarre and annoying I am again getting paranoid wondering if there some how deliberate, but why would someone do that? lol.

Well, I think I am just about done with all this, I think I might just reinstall Windows 10, I think I will continue to use the seconded less corrupt partition for my new Windows 10 install and just use it like that, at least trying out these roms dug up this interesting issue.

I am disappointed that I think I will revert to Windows, the web browsing etc in this Android is delightfully fast. That reminds me of one of the reasons why I turned to Windows only in the first place was I was hoping to see come to these new Android releases was the ability for Chrome to have all your bookmarks just below your url space, the bookmark bar. But this seems to be strictly a feature for desktop MS windows Chrome only. For me this missing feature in Android Chrome makes me feel like I am just not at home, but I am willing to give that up so I can have more general web browsing speed.

Intel did initially support the Atom Cherry Trail chips for Android as it was Intel's aim to try and fight ARM etc from completely taking over the mobile market but it appears they totally gave up as the prices ARM based processors were being sold for wasn't something Intel appeared to want to fight for, as well as the fact device makers weren't breaking down the door to buy Intels new atom chips, well at least thats my point of view on it. I think in the long term this just helps ARM as it leaves the door open for ARM to just continue drilling deeper into Intels turf long term.

But Intel did abruptly stop providing support and development in the Atom space for Android as far as I know but I think most of what they needed to do to help kick start 3rd party development support was done.

I assume you want access to the bios so you can boot off USB devices? Yeah I don't know about any other device other then the Teclast X16 pro, I think this might of been one of the original reasons why I got this device because I could see it was a well priced complete PC equivalent with the ability to install what ever OS I wanted on it and it has a decent quality screen.

I still only really use it when I am in the coffee shop, browsing the web/youtube on the go and the ability to type stuff up with the keyboard/case/stand dock when I want to do something a little more intense but still be in the coffee shop.

When ever I updated the Teclast X96 pro I had to install a ton of Android developer tools on my windows 10 desktop PC it felt like all junky bloat software and boot into these DNX mode and only 50% of the time did it ever work.

I much prefer simple ISO downloads put onto a bootable USB stick, simple and clean, the other methods seem so ****ty.

I still have and use my iPad 3 as my bedside device, its power draw in stand-by mode can last up to a week with out having to plug it in for charge, I can still youtube and listen to internet radio going to sleep and it never ever fails me. I could never get that kind of reliability out of my Teclast X16, all you need to do is forget to the leave the Teclast on charge each day and its no tablet available for the night.

I originally got the Teclast X98 Pro and thought it was pretty good, I have no idea if I could even make that device boot from a USB stick, I gave it to my dad but he managed to damage the USB/charge port in no time and then the thing started rebooting by it self for no particular reason, I dont think these devices are ideal for non-tech savvy folks as they seem to be able to break them quite quickly.

I think the whole Teclast device buying experiment has been an interesting mixed bag for me, I was really curious what I could get if I spent less and bought a non-retail store device and its takening me a while to learn why local major retail stores would never sell such devices, as there's just way too many idiosyncrasies with them and most people wouldn't put up with it and demand their money back.
