Is he the same user Jemmini here on XDA ? Is it possible to tag him directly here in order to let him discuss here in this thread? - I would like to involve him in this thread so to solve any possible problem with TWRP for T10. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------

Firmware v1.03 has been provided by Teclast to me only after my feedback via Facebook, so we cannot consider it as an official firmware, unless Teclast has provided that firmware with tablet (obviously).

My tablet has been given to me with firmware v1.23, so I prefer to follow this numbering (now I have v1.28) - I am worried that Teclast removed the v1.03 full zip file from the cloud service, may be that Teclast has received some claims about this firmware (may be due to ghost touch?).

A humble suggestion to all the owners of tablet T10 : if you have problem with your tablet, follow ONLY the instructions provided by Teclast and/or by the store you've purchased this device from, this is a mandatory rule to be followed to keep the one-year warranty.

This tablet is so recent, unfortunately we may face some problems, the usual problems related to all new products.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyanders1987:
When I got the tablet (im in US) the version was v1.02 and there was an update available through the Teclast OTA app. This brought it to v1.03. I did not use the tablet for more than about 1 minute before i updated it so I cannot say that v1.02 had the same issues i was experiencing.. but I think I will just stick with v1.28 for now. Seems to work just fine.

and holy moly, thanks for making those threads!

In the weekend I flashed 1.03 downloaded from italianquadcore link, used it for several hours in the last couple of days with not a single problem :victory:

Fast and responsive, touch is perfect, plain android with just the Teclast OTA app.

My T10 came with 1.23, upgraded via OTA to 1.31, then the severe ghost touch issue appeared.

So I'm actually staying on 1.03 for now, for daily use. Hope there will be OTA upgrades following the original "chinese" branch of firmware.

I say thank you all for you support, one more time ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyanders1987:
Status Update

For me, v1.03 is just plagued and I am still getting the constant force closures of everything! Everything wiped, not rooted, stock everything. The tablet starts up fine, and I can use Google services, but as soon as the tablet sleeps for a bit none of my apps will open. Also, if Spotify is downloading songs, it will give an error "Storage cannot be found". Almost like something is going to sleep but not waking up. Tried so many different things to remedy this, but no success.

I used the files from italianquadcore's link as well as the original software that came with the tablet (v1.02 then OTA to v1.03).

Back to the v1.28 for me!

Also, what means did you use to contact Teclast on Facebook? I tried Messenger and still have yet to get a reply (sent yesterday). I'm sure I have to wait longer, but if you used a different route I'd like to know! thanks.

I'm in the same boat as you, is v1.28 a chinese firmware with bloat apps or is it pure like v1.03? thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyanders1987:
Spoke too soon :(

Welp, I think I have a defective tablet. Clean flashed v1.28, signed into Google. Let the tablet sleep for about an hour, woke it up only to see that darn "Google Services Has Stopped". I think eMMC is bad / faulty...

Another observation, once all these crashes start to happen - no settings or changes to the system will be saved. Example: When the crashes start, if I change the volume (can't really access much else) it doesn't save upon reboot.

Had HIGH hopes for this tablet. Haven't gotten to enjoy it for more than a few minutes. Even if it did work after all this, I'd still be wary about installing all my apps knowing I'll probably have to format and re-flash a different firmware anyway.

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

It seems to be the same. It just starts up with Chinese as the primary language. You can easily navigate (i had to use my phone as reference) to change it to english. And there are a few apps, but can be removed. There is ONE app (AppLock) that is in chinese that cannot be remove. but essentially the EXACT same thing as v1.03 from my experience.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyanders1987:
Ha! That means they know their firmware is f'd up. Garbage. However I can't even get my tablet to recognize a 32 sd card (tried 5, yes 5). Asus zenpad 10S is looking pretty good right now.. any other viable alternatives?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitsch266:
I contacted teclast also via Facebook because of the touchscreen problem with firmware 1.31.... They send me a zip file with firmware and an instruction... Installed that firmware (v1. 03) and touchsreen works just perfect now... :):):):):)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyanders1987:
Yeah thats nice you got a good working tablet! I think most peoples' issue can be resolved with a firmware update. I fear mine is an actual hardware issue. Which I work in software engineering so I can understand issues with hardware and software. Kinda the risk I took for getting a non-google certified tablet from a Chinese maker.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedriVia:
Just asking, when did you buy the tablet? Have you tried another firmware version other than v1.28 and v1.03(G)? Yeah, it seems there is a component fault in your copy, but experimenting is worth a try at least.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyanders1987:
Thanks for the suggestion.. but I have been around the block a few times with this tablet. Tried, downgrading to v1.28 and thought it was ok - nope. Then back to v1.03 with the provided files, nope. Factory reset, reboot, reboot, reboot... nothing works.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedriVia:
I feel sorry for that. If those defects have been around since you unboxed it, there's no other way then. :(

I'm thinking if the actual problem for everyone here is the OTA update app itself or any other combination/algorithm which mess the system, but that's hard to imagine anyway....

Same boat

I contacted Teclast via facebook, they sent me a link to a dropbox rom but it turns out its just 1.03 which I already had. Even so I installed it clean just to make sure and I still have ghost touches but only when playing games so far.

Have you tried any other roms yet? I might try one of the first roms they had

Also if you go into developer options and turn on pointer locations you can see it draw where the ghost touches are.

I have also contacted Gearbest and they have said to send a video of the problem, so I will see what they say. :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyanders1987:
Yeah, same here. Teclast got back to me last night with a link to the same darn v1.03 firmware I already have too.. crashes still and no SD card detection whatsoever. Now both GeekBuying and Teclast want videos of the issues.

No I have not tried any other ROMs.. I didn't want to have to try different ROMs! I just wanted a frickin tablet that runs without issue!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LannyJoeShoots:
Thanks just found this thread total noob i contacted Teclast same as you got the firmware link couldn't even open/root my T10, downloaded on Mac but couldn't open on Win 10 and have been constantly asking them on Messenger when a future OTA will sort things out, heres my Video i made for Gearbest glad i found out through here the earlier firmware had no sd card detection as i couldn't figure it out and i don't want to roll back to that, just want a working tablet rather than hassle of sending it back + currently GB are trying to offer me less refund than i paid!!! don't know whether to wait for OTA or send it back

oh since i just joined it won't let me post links but its up on youtube - 'Teclast T10 Master Issues for GearBest'
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazray:
Gearbest refund

I'm in a similar position, Gearbest want me to make a video about the ghost touches, mine are not as bad as yours and only happen in some games. I bought mine in their sale for around $175 how much did they offer you back?

Years ago I had a problem with an older tablet similar to this, the fix back then was to use a heat gun around the edges and soft clamp them down carfeully, I have also seen on youtube people using and old lighter piezo ignition to zap the capacitive screen and it solves their problems. I don't really want to do either but if they dont refund me I'm kind of stuck.

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

May I ask a favour from someone with a working tablet, Can you install a game from the play store called extreme landings and play it for 5-10 mins and see if the screen start getting ghost touches. On mine it starts off fine then it switches various things on/off and looks around the cockpit on its own and views change. If you go into developer options and turn on pointer locations you can see it draw where the ghost touches are, if you dont get any can you let me know which firmware you are using please :)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.rortos.extremelandings&hl=en

Some games work fine but others don't for me I can't work out why.

Thanks in advance :)

---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

As a side note when you say your crashes does it stop responding or does it back out of apps, the reason I ask is I keep tapping the fingerprint reader by accident and that makes it back out of apps. Also have you tried another sd card or one formatted in an android device, sometimes certain sd cards dont play nice.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedriVia:
That's kind of dangerous, isn't it? Which model did you mention?

Those ways probably won't fix T10 issues, though, since the problem only affects certain firmwares. (correct me if I'm wrong)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyanders1987:
Tried 3 separate SD cards, 16, 32, 64gb all different brands. Two were from my phone, one was fresh formatted to fat32 as it should.

When it crashes: nothing will open, no settings are saved, launcher crashes, etc. Have to reboot and I'll maybe get a few minutes of no crashes. My tablet is essentially unusable.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazray:
It can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing or rush it, my model is E3C5 but it has firmware v1.03. Some people here have firmware problems and some have hardware problems. I will try other firmware first, if I still get problems then I guess its a hardware fault.

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

Sounds like yours is knackered, maybe get a partial refund and sell the unit on ebay as spares, I would think some of the parts a reusable.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyanders1987:
Negative! I will be returning for a full refund, whether they (geekbuing) like it or not!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazray:
Just make sure you get proof of postage as quite a few people get problems with returns.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedriVia:
Well..., it's hard to tell whether the issue's related to the driver or the component at times like this. Even so, does that mean Teclast has a really bad manufacturing then???

Btw, I'm asking about your “older tablet”. xD
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazray:
I'm not sure if the fault is in the assembly or the part, they are capacitive so if not shielded correctly they can cause problems. If yours was working before then I would say its a firmware issue, I upgraded mine the day I got it so I can't say if it was working or not.

Oh my old tablet was called an Advent Vega, only sold in UK I think, like this:

Anyone tested the new firmware?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazray:
I have tried the new v1.32 firmware and at first I thought it was fixed but alas no, well at least not for my tablet. I managed to play a 3d game for about 3 mins with no issues then it started playing up. I recommend going into setting/developer options and turning on pointer location even if you think your tablet is fixed, as it will display any screen touches (real or phantom).

Also install ghost touch tester and try the first pattern (top left) it makes my tablet go nuts, it seems my issue is similar to the nexus 7 issue where the capacitive difference between pixels creates phantom touches.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.nexus7tester&hl=en

I haven't tried v1.28 yet, if that does work then its going back to China.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedriVia:
Just some useful UX tips here.

Avoiding screen stutters

If you encounter the screen stuttering every 2-3 seconds when playing a game, try setting all animation scales to 1x in Developer options (my tablet had those set to 0.5x initially). It makes the gameplay smoother somehow.

Before that, I was having fun with some relaxing games which also need reflex (such as Alto's Adventure), but those periodical stutters were truly ANNOYING. =='

Decreasing touch lags

I'm also shocked that T10's touchscreen response time could reach a gap of 70ms (normally Android devices only reach 20-40ms). This app called Touchscreen Repair should reduce touch lags, although the impact is... too small. (only 6-9 ms difference here)

UPDATE: Moved this section intentionally to Teclast Master T10 | General thread, since that thread is too empty right now and this thread is getting more OOT. .-.

--------------------------------

....That's a shame, however you said that before it could be your hardware's fault. It almost seems that's true after all....

I do really want to give it a try, but my current firmware is a global one — v1.03(G). At least my tablet is safe and more stable here.

Thanks, [MENTION=2571521]CrimsonKnight13[/MENTION]. Had a trouble downloading it from Baidu. Will also update mine in Google Drive. Edit: DONE!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] High-T:
I recommend upgrade to v1. 32. I have done it from v1. 31 and found ghost touch problems are eliminated. I do feel it a little stuttering when scrolling up and down websites and apps but set those animation settings to x 1.0 in developer options has helped. My touch screening time was 88ms, in real life doesn't feel slow(my Samy note 8 has 44ms). So far I have used the T10 on v1. 32 for a half day and have not found any problems. Better than v1.28 IMO.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedriVia:
I did the comparison of this tablet with my Samsung J1 Ace (which is much more responsive — 30ms average lag), but yeah, even 10ms difference is too hard to notice.

After good reviews of the latest v1. 32 firmware I performed OTA upgrade from v1. 31 to v1.32.

My tablet had TWRP recovery and it was rooted (Magisk).

Now, after OTA upgrade tablet won't boot to the system. Instead it boots to TWRP recovery.

Any idea how to fix this without factory reset or reinstallation of full ROM v1. 32 and loosing everything?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ubivec:
Only way i've found to fix such issue is to turn off the tablet, flash stock recovery, stock recovery will try to flash, without success, but anyway, tablet will exit from this boot loop to recovery.

You can reflash twrp and magisk after this.

P.S. OTA upgrade is not working after rooting.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dstenc:
I tried to flash stock recovery but when tablet is turned off after I plug USB cable it immediately boots into TWRP. :(

How did you flash back stock recovery in this case?

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

I managed to fix the issue. I posted the answer in general thread for T10 but since I asked for the help in this thread also let me post the same procedure here:

1. Workaround for boot recovery is when in TWRP to reboot into bootloader. This will boot into fastboot.

Connect tablet to PC and enter: fastboot continue

Tablet will now start Android OS.

2. Open Magisk and deinstall it completely.

3. Reboot tablet. Since bootloop is still present TWRP will open. Reboot again into bootloader from TWRP.

4. Open SP Flashtool and flash bootloader and recovery only.

5. Power off and power on tablet. You'll see that android is updating. Be patient. It takes several minutes. After the update reboot tablet to confirm that tablet will boot normally.

There is a problem with that TWRP or something else, in order for TWRP to read the internal memory (DATA) you have to FORMAT DATA, in the WIPE section. Of course you will lose absolute all your data, apps, etc.

As far as my research, your case is unique here. Did the touchscreen still work before updating? How about full re-flash any firmware?

It's not going to strengthen the signal, though.
