[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SerbyFX:
I did not end up getting the touchscreen to work or the wifi in the device i had to use a USB with that windows could understand because i dont know what the wifi in the tablet was. Yes boot and install windows 10 from the usb drive. The touchscreen will show up in device manager as "user interface". Also there are more options after you get to the efi boot section hit Esc two times and it will take you to the Bios of the board. I ended up installing Windows 10 to a 320gb hdd connected by USB in a tri-boot setup Ubuntu, Android, Windows 10 an ran everything from the external HDD. i have since returned the tablet and nextbook sent me a new one. If you can get WiFi let windows update the drivers this was a lot of help. Let us know what you find please some of us are still working on this.

Im pretty sure the flexx 11a shares the same hardware, I'm thinking of picking one up doing a driver extraction and system image before returning it(basically I'm borrowing it) :laugh: then seeing what I can come up with. If I end up screwing something up will I be able to still get into android recovery, not sure if I can restore with just the update.zip for 6.0.1 or if I loose everything once I do a windows install. Or should i avoid installing to internal storage until I make sure it's going to work??

Also, dumb question I don't see an escape key on this keyboard just what looks like the old internet explorer icon and the backlight symbol.... I tried hitting it but it just booted right into android...

Try an put the USB drive in then boot, at EFI hit the Esc key.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
I have made no changes to the tablet yet, I have same model as you. This weekend sometime, I'll run over to Walmart they are supposed to have a few nextbook flexx 11a in stock, im going to pull the drivers, and make a system image with EaseUS todo backup, in case i need to pull anything later, I don't plan on keeping it, they want $200 for one, I only gave $45 for the Ares 11a.... If im successful I'll package everything up and pass it on....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
Hmm... Not sure what's going on, I'm holding power and Vol + to get into EFI boot, it does not detect usb Windows install media and it says hit esc to exit, it's not taking me into BIOS?? So I'm either doing something wrong or they have changed something :confused:

Just thought about it, do i need to unluck the bootloader first???
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qwzykx:
No need to unlock bootloader. Did you use the official M$ tool for your USB?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
Yes, I also tried using rufus, tried mbr then gpt none worked....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qwzykx:
That's odd, although I had mixed results with rufus. Official tool worked fine. I like to use Universal USB Installer for Linux and Android x86, but I don't know if it works with Windows.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
Are you running MM update on yours? That's the only thing I can think is maybe they disabled something?? I have tried both usb ports on keyboard and even an OTG adapter on tablet itself...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qwzykx:
I screwed up the native Android while testing with Windows, Linux and Android x86... none of which can support the hardware flawlessly. I got the backup from [MENTION=4247026]cabewse[/MENTION] and restored it but it won't boot.

I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure that your version of Android doesn't have any impact on booting and EFI. I once wiped the whole storage and I was still able to boot from USB or SD.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
Yeah, I don't understand either, I'll try booting from SD, or maybe a different USB drive, but not sure why that would make a difference, I tried booting from laptop and it boots windows install from USB, just weird...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
This is all I get
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qwzykx:
Did you try booting something else? Like Linux or Remix OS?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
Not yet, I will give it a shot. Were you able to get into BIOS settings like SerbyFX suggested by pressing esc, because that does not work either...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qwzykx:
I sure did, at least a hundred times this week. But aside from the boot menu, which you already have by pressing VOL+ at boot, there's nothing very exciting.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
Not sure what's different then mine says press esc to exit, and thats exactly what it does...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
I guess it's just not meant to be, I have tried everything I could think of, it just does not see any other boot device no matter the format.....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
Well a little progress, it booted Lubuntu 17.04 live USB. Touchscreen worked, no WiFi Sound showed up but could not hear anything. I shutdown then on next boot i get an error about failing verification but it reboots in 5 seconds into android, Im going to reflash the update.zip for MM and hopefully takes care of that problem
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qwzykx:
I think the failed verification error comes from the fact that Linux modifies the GRUB file. It's annoying but doesn't do anything harmful..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SerbyFX:
Yes i'm having the same problems now but how did you get to the Boot manager this is the window i use Esc and got to the Bios but i cant seeem to get back here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
I use Vol + and power, release power at nextbook logo continue to hold Vol +. But esc just exits that menu. And I cant get windows install usb to work at all, it refuses to see it, I was able to finally get it to see an Lubuntu 17.04 live USB. It's weird, if I could just get it to boot the windows install, I'm sure I can get drivers....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SerbyFX:
Do you have a micro to USB dongle? have you tried that?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
Yes, I am going to try to boot from SD later tonight when I get home
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
Nothing I have tried works, it simply will not see a windows 10 installation USB, I have used Microsoft media creation tool, I have tried rufus, UNetbootin from within Ubuntu. Different USB media, SD. Nothing I do creates a Device that the efi boot menu detects. It sees most live linux USB drives. I dont know what else to try....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SerbyFX:
With the new tablet they sent me as a replacement i cant get it to boot ether.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
I wonder if i can downgrade the firmware they have an earlier version on their website.

Update: apparently both files are the same, I gave up and returned one today, I'll just use the remaining one as a regular Android Tablet, think I'll save up for a Surface....

Now i used my Ubuntu USB and entered EFI select USB Ubuntu boots.

The problem i have now is that Windoz has changed the drive and Android will no longer boot my new tablet.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qwzykx:
I (almost) successfully restored stock Android after re-partitioning several times and trying out Linux, W10 and Android x86. After restoring [MENTION=4247026]cabewse[/MENTION] 's clonezilla backup the partitions were there but I was stuck at the Nextbook logo. So I decided to flash another boot.img. Oddly, the one that comes with the official update.zip from Nextbook doesn't work. I managed to boot by flashing the boot.img designed for the Ares 8A from this thread: https://xdaforums.com/android/development/nextbook-ares-8a-android-6-0-1-root-t3612397 .

However I got no sound, no wifi, no bluetooth. I guess it's unavoidable since the boot.img is from a similar, yet different device. Next time, before tinkering, I'll make a backup of the boot partition :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
yeah, i killed one of mine, I was going to return it for warranty, considering I only had to pay $45 for it on clearance, but I decided I didn't want the hassle so I just returned it to Walmart for a refund. I still have the other but I'm just going to leave it stock and not mess with anything. It's good for light browsing and word processing. Oddly enough Netflix is not available in play store, I downloaded apk and installed but still would not connect, oddly enough the easiest work around for that was to install amazon underground and install Netflix from Amazon app store, then it runs flawlessly. Kinda regret not shipping the other one off for replacement, even with paying $10 or so for shipping, would still have been a bargain...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popeye2014:

nx16a11264

So what I am gathering is that nobody has actually been fully successful rooting nx16a11264. When I went to install win 10 on it I got a acpi bios error. I'm assuming this might be because of the encryption that I can't remove without root access?

Can't pass safteynet even on stock System IMG with bootloader relocked.

Even after restoring the stock boot and system img (even relocking the bootloader), Safetynet would STILL continue failing on the CTS profile.

So now I can't even use some apps, even with magisk running in core only mode.

Is there some kind of counter that gets tripped when the device gets unlocked, that can't be reset by relocking the bootloader?

Can anyone figure out a fix for this, so no one who unlocks the bootloader has to deal with this?

Windows Drivers

I found this post while digging around for info on installing Windows:

Description of how to install Windows 10 on a Flexx 10.1

https://goo.gl/WtV2ri

That article has a link to download a copy of all the drivers for Windows for sensors, touch, etc. :

https://goo.gl/ruP9J1

This file resides on somebody's public OneDrive, so anybody interested should download before it disappears.

I know the 10.1 and the 11.6 (which I have) are different animals, but there may be enough good info in these drivers to get things moving. On a side note, the Ares 11A seems to be identical to the Onda Obook 11, which I believe was available as either Windows, Android, or dual.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qwzykx:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr_korb:
I have a copy of the driver package, just in case......
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qwzykx:
I already downloaded all the drivers, just in case... Good stuff on the internet is sometimes quite volatile.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qwzykx:
I couldn't manage to install the drivers. I think they are Baytrail drivers, and we have a Cherrytrail, which would explain why it's not working. After that I tried the official Intel driver update; won't work either, said that no new drivers were available.

Also, when first trying to install Windows I would always get a BIOS ACPI ERROR and couldn't install at all. However the solution is not ACPI related at all, I had to delete all disk partitions. For some reason the installer doesn't like stock Android partitioning.

Edit: The Realtek Wlan driver installed successfully, and Windows Update installed the Intel HD video driver.

Edit 2: Got almost everything working right by using these drivers: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxu7K5BxNw3Sd1I5dlI1OFhlaTA/view

I installed BetterBatteryStats on my phone and was checking some of the stats today.

The following information called up my attention:

View attachment 3926581

View attachment 3926582

During this period, the phone screen was off most of the time (at least 5 hours), but the phone remained in "Deep Sleep" mode for just a short period (12 minutes). The rest of the time, the phone was in a state called "Awake (Screen Off)", which I don't recall from my previous Android phones.

Did anyone else notice a similar behavior? Is that normal or should I be looking for apps that may be causing wakelocks?

My phone is still unrooted and running OxygenOS 3.2.7.

I was wondering if this behavior may be related to the OnePlus 3 gestures, which I have enabled on my phone.

Any ideas?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] ungeeked:
Not normal. Try installing wakelock detector and see what is causing this
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] tiagobt:
OK, thanks.

I'm now running both Wakelock Detector and BetterBatteryStats. I don't have root, but I figured both apps have a way of detecting wakelocks on non-root devices.

My first suspicion was WhatsApp Web, which I had been using lately. So I stopped using it for a while. I also disabled the OnePlus Screen Gestures to see if there was any change.

Even then, my phone is not going to Deep Sleep as much as it should. I took some new measurements overnight. The phone was not connected to the charger and was idle the whole time (screen off, no use). I expected at least 6 hours of Deep Sleep. But I got 1 hour of Deep Sleep and 7 hours of Awake (Screen Off). I'm attaching several screenshots of this scenario. During this time, the phone was connected to my Wifi network and bluetooth was enabled (the phone was connected to an Android smartwatch). Do you think that might be preventing the phone from going to Deep Sleep? Any other ideas?

Thanks a lot
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] tiagobt:
Mmm... I guess I finally found the culprit!

I decided to uninstall the Android Wear app, the Google Fit app and disable bluetooth. My phone is now going to Deep Sleep as it should. The battery usage decreased from 5,3% per hour to 0,9% per hour, which is just a massive difference! I'm attaching screenshots of the battery stats after getting rid of Android Wear.

Too bad Android Wear is actually an app I wanted to use... Anyone had similar issues? Anything I can do to keep using Android Wear and have a decent battery usage?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] tiagobt:
Actually, I'm not really sure if the culprit was Android Wear or Google Fit (or a combination of both).

I'll perform a few more tests and report my findings here.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] tiagobt:
I'm confirming that Android Wear / Bluetooth is causing the battery issues.

Google Fit is responsible for a few wakelocks as well, but the battery drain is not significant.

I'm attaching a few screenshots showing that a process called bluedroid_timer is preventing the phone from going to deep sleep. This wakelock is related to the bluetooth connection in Android Wear. This is very annoying because I can't use my watch and have my phone's battery lasting a full day. Anyone else having this issue? Suggestions?

I googled the issue and found similar reports, but none of the workarounds seem to work:

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] tiagobt:
I performed a few more tests and realized that the battery issue is indeed related to Bluetooth, but not to Android Wear!

I had the following app installed on my device:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.com.edeploy.gol.checkin.activities

After uninstalling this app, the bluedroid_timer wakelock disappeared and my phone is going to Deep Sleep as it should (even if I enable Bluetooth and use Android Wear). It appears that this specific app uses the android-beacon-library (BLE beacons), which causes wakelocks even if I'm not using the app.

Problem solved for now!

Awake(screen off) means that the screen was off but the phone was active and this value should be as low as possible. However this screenshot doesn't establish anything since it is not equal to an idle dump in BBS.
