[Remix OS for PC] Vioner:
I've decided to make an exclusive thread for Asus T100 series - T100 / T100T / T100TA / T100TAL / T100TAF / T100TAM, because maybe this way we'll be able to work on hardware compatibility by either dealing with it ourselves or with the official Jide's help.

Of course we can discuss all matters related to T100 and Remix OS here.

I only have the Asus T100TA, so for now I'm sharing information only about this model, but with time and depending on users activity, I'll add information about other most popular models.

There can be significant differences between T100TA and other models when it comes to Remix performance, because other models' specs differ more or less. Have that in mind.

What doesn't work properly - Remix 3.0.206 32/64 bit:

Hyperlinked issues lead to GitHub RemixOS-for-PC feedback repo - check them out for log files.​

Power management

Sleep-wake handling

Black screen sleep. Often freeze upon wake - even ALT+F1 won't work.

Only force shutdown with the power button helps.

Brightness control does NOT work (works on Android-x86 6.0 R1 / Phoenix OS and some previous Remix 3 releases) - fixed

Shutdown/Reset often fail fixed

Audio:

Audio stops working - microphone as the trigger

Video: Asus T100TA Remix OS Audio problems

It seems like using the microphone is a trigger to failure of sound and whole system failure.

Power management, apps with video/audio usage, shutting down the system fail + freezes and lags happen..

Internal microphone doesn't work at all

I think this is related to the problem with Camera in point 3.

External microphone doesn't work at all

In previous versions it worked, but with very poor quality - oversensitive.

Headphones detection & isolation doesn't work

It seems like the driver doesn't handle jack plug-in-out action. Because of that there is no audio output isolation - when headphones are plugged in, the audio comes both from internal speakers and the headphones. I know this is one and same output, but that's just how I call it. No logcat for that, because plugging headphones outputs nothing.

Workaround for this is to use AlsaMixer (ROOT) app and manually mute internal speakers.

Noises in headphones

If sound comes out of the headphones I can hear crackling and other noises in the background - not loud, but it's there just like with really poor quality soundcards. If audio stops playing, the noise persists for few more seconds and then it silences until I play audio again.

HDMI output doesn't work

Camera doesn't work

Camera LED is always ON which normally indicates that either camera is ON or that the device is starting to boot.

I guess that the system is somehow using the camera device or it tries to enable it and that switches the LED on.

The camera and the microphone are both on the same PCB and they are most likely interconnected, so I guess that as long as the LED is ON we won't be able to use neither the camera nor the microphone.

Screen rotation doesn't work. (works in Phoenix OS and Android-x86 builds)

I have tested rotation vector sensor with Z-Device Test app and it seems like the sensor works fine, but the system won't autoratate. I also didn't find a toggle for rotation in settings.

I guess this is just software issue - screen orientation switching disabled in the OS?

WiFi

It won't automatically connect to a network after a bootup. (works on Android-x86 and Phoenix OS)

Video: Asus T100TA Remix OS Wi-Fi not connecting automatically

If I start up my device, I have to click the WiFi icon on the taskbar or enter WiFi settings to make it auto-connect to the WiFi network.

This didn't happen in Remix 2.0.X - it automatically connected. It also works fine in Phoenix OS and Android-x86 builds.

[*]Sometimes system starts with WiFi disabled and impossible to enable, only reboot helps. - fixed

External display

Won't boot with external screen attached

If I attach a monitor before I boot the device, Remix will not boot - it will stay in terminal - right before the Remix OS logo shows up.

Screen mirroring related to the above

Works, but only if you attach the display after Remix boot logo shows up or the system is already fully booted.

Exclusive external display output - internal screen switched OFF

No longer possible; works in Remix 2.0.X, Phoenix OS <1.1.0 and Android-x86 releases upto 6.0 RC1.

It was possible before by either applying specific grub video output commands or by just having the monitor plugged in before the bootup.

Some very valuable commits on Github relating to the issues.

Even more patches, pretty much everything except camera fixed

Maybe devs could apply some of them to current kernel?​

My impressions comparing to Phoenix OS and Android-x86_6.0-R1:

All systems speed is practically the same. Both Remix and Phoenix are still too unstable for daily use (remember it's still, beta:)). Freezes sometimes, system UI reboots, and the storage scanning keeps working the drives and lagging..

What now?​
