Search Results for 'usb wifi'

[Geve]

It could be straight forward, I guess, if you could get the “official release dual os package” which I’m unable to get my hands on.

The first day when the official release came out, the link was to baixxxx.

I managed to download the 64bit Bios package portion, not the whole package, which is a small file no registration was needed.

I used Showkeyplus to get the 32bit Win10 Key from my tablet.

Download Win10 home 32/64bit from Microsoft and save to USB key option.

I backup/dump the current bios of my tablet…just in case.

Did a system(basically just the C: drive) backup using Todobackup.

Update the bios to 64 bit in Windows which will shut down the tablet when done.

Before reboot …connect your keyboard…you need it

Plug your 64bit(from Microsoft)USB key and boot the tablet from there.

You might need to press ESC to change boot order if needed.

The Win installation will take a couple re-start…whenever you were left in the UEFI shell just type “exit” and Windows installation will continues.
When done……20 some unknown devices and no wifi as it is also one missing driver.

Download the Iwork10 flagship dual OS. I get it from techtablet here.

Actually I used drivers from the other package I mentioned last post… I think I could have skip if I just downloaded the much bigger file …. The Iwork10 (needed it for the battery indicator).

I use 7zip to extract the Windows/system32 directory from the file “Install.wim” which is

In the WIN10/USB2/images directory.

From here just go to Device management and update the devices without driver by pointing it to the directory we extracted.

I have no problem with activation using my 32bit win 10 Key.

I did chat with Microsoft tech online and was told updating the bios to 64 is fine as long as activation goes; before I update my tablet.

However, at this point, there is still one driver missing ….Its not something I “missed” at this point…lol

It could be back camera…could be gps? have’nt really look it at this time as long as I have internet connection and sound.
Yeah…the power indicator…don’t want to driain the stupid thing.

Wireless AC requires specific HW. A firmware can’t solve your issue.

Anyway the problem would persist because CHUWI HI12 dosn’t support WIRELESS AC (5Ghz band)

you could solve this issue with a workaround; if your WIFI router support 5Ghz band you could use a wireless usb pen on your tablet

What I've used and what I've got:
TECLAST X98 AIR 3G, TECLAST X98 AIR II, TECLAST X98 PRO,CHUWI HI8, CHUWI HI12, CUBE I9

Hi Everyone, Luka, Could you send a quick message with your notes on booting and restoring Windows partition? I am having trouble getting this tablet to boot from USB stick. Formatted stick GPT with Fat32 and copied Windows ROM to it. Tried using Vol+ while power button reboot. No response. Doesn’t know it has a second boot option. Can anyone offer constructive suggestion? Ordered hard-shell keyboard thinking it might help with resetting Windows partition. Have been using USB hub with keyboard attached. Thanks in advance for any constructive support. Regrets if this is a cross-topic posting.

If you want to repair the window you can use the build in function. I think it’s reset your PC (search in search box win10).

The cube IWork must install win10 + android from cube ‘s custom rom. If you try to install win10 from the iso ,even it is microsoft’s, you ‘ll end up with no wifi, no touchscreen, no sensor working. The rom is on the Cube website and some one in this 4rum uploaded it to Gdrive. I managed to reinstall android and win10 successfully, the guide i attatch below (english version by me).

Note that now if you update your andoid (setting>about phone>update), you will get Google play.

Hello from France!

I received my Hi10 (last model with W10 64bit and blue USB 3.0)  from Banggood 3 weeks ago and it’s running globally fine.

The only problems I encountered were:

1. one Blue Screen once, followed by a checkdisk that I was not able to interrupt (no keyboard!) but it rebooted fine.
2. Sometimes, randomly, it wont’ boot, the Chuwi starting screen shows then vanishes and goes black. Just pushing again on the ON button makes it start again. Sometimes, it need to be pushed twice to really boot. Not so often to be annoying (roughly once every week till now). Just hoping it won’t go worse.
3. Wifi transfer’ speed seems to be on the low end between a PC on my LAN and the tablet while watching a movie but I didn’t investigate it thoroughly yet, may be it has nothing to do with the tablet.
4. The  only concern I have is about the 3.5 audio jack. When using it, I get a hum/hiss/buzz in the earphones the whole time, which is soon becoming the only thing on which your brain concentrates…! Need also more investigation and changing the earphones for another one.
5. Using it mainly in my bed at night for reading PDF/epub,  browsing the Net or sometimes watching a movie from a NAS, with a screen at 0% brightness (!!!), the battery lasts between 7 to +8 hours which is fine to me.

All in all, I am very happy with this tablet and for the paid price.

I tried the new build 16.04. X98 Plus A5C6 Windows only Bios. Live boot (no install)

Wifi doesn’t work for me.

Screen rotation doesn’t work. I boot it up with the tab longways but I have to turn it on end because the mouse only works properly that way for me.

Virtual box kicks an error on boot for me with live boot.

The Spanish keyboard has caused issues for me. The other version has the little mini keyboard, but I couldn’t find it on this build. When I type an M it is an O or zero, not sure. I tried to delete the Spanish default and log out and log back in but it seems I need your username/password to do that 🙂

I can’t shut down the tablet either from the shell or the login screen. After I did a hard power down from the login, the drive would not boot again, I had to re-rufus it.

Not sure if my usb wifi works on this build, my password has an M in it…lol

I had a poke around at what you have loaded up on this distro…it is primo!   I am drooling, this distro is sweet.

Does the grub install work on this build? Maybe some of my issues are related to the fact that I am running it off a usb drive?

My sd card works perfect

I see that there are people downloading, hopefully others will chime in maybe the A5C8 bios runs this better.

P.S. Your 16.04 link on that page is not working for me now. I manage to catch the link before you edited the page.

It’s just fixed. Here I copy the last notes:
This is my experience so far on a Teclast X98 Plus A5C8:
– with Linux kernel 4.4.4 I can’t get to compile+install the patches for Realtek 8723BS. But it boots to the graphical interface.
– with Linux kernel 4.2.X I can compile+install the patches for Realtek 8723BS, BS_BT, etc. But it doesn’t boot the graphical interface.
– I am also trying the beta 16.04 and it can compile the patches with 4.4.4 kernel but then I can’t boot to the graphical interface…
– Kernel 4.4.6 doesn’t boot the graphical interface on 14.04 neither 🙁

** What works on 4.4.4 kernel and XJubuntu 14.04:
– USB Gigaethernet/WiFi cards in general
– USB keyboard/mouse
– USB pendrives/hard disks/card readers
– HDMI out and tablet screen at the same time (extended display or mirror)
– Screen Brightness change
– Touchscreen
– internal Bluetooth

** What works but needs improvements:
– You can rotate the screen but the touchscreen doesn’t rotate accordingly, it needs manual adjustements…
– Access to eMMC internal flash but the Android partitions are giving me some errors when I try to modify them from gparted, etc.
– You can install the distro on intenal eMMC and/or external USB drives. The problem comes when it finishes the install, it gives this error message:
“The ‘grub-efi-amd64-signed’ package failed to install into /target/ . Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.” Probably it needs to install the 32 bits EFI. I am looking for some workaround for this. And trying “Boot Repair”

** What doesn’t work on 4.4.4:
– internal WiFi
– microSD card slot access (I’ve only tried a 128GB Samsung Evo Plus) and BIOS from 15/01/2016. Maybe other cards or upgrading BIOS…
– battery charge info

With XJubuntu TAB you can choose to login on Unity or XFCE. Unity is better for tablet/touch mode but XFCE performs better for desktop usage with mouse/keyboard. XFCE is more customizable and faster, specially on low-power hardware like tablets.

4.4.4 kernel supports Realtek Bluetooth, touchscreens, rotation, etc. The changelog looks promising: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4.4-wily/CHANGES
Larry Finger (8):
rtlwifi: rtl_pci: Fix kernel panic
rtlwifi: rtl8192cu: Add missing parameter setup
rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: Fix handling of module parameters
rtlwifi: rtl8192de: Fix incorrect module parameter descriptions
rtlwifi: rtl8723ae: Fix initialization of module parameters
rtlwifi: rtl8192se: Fix module parameter initialization
rtlwifi: rtl8188ee: Fix module parameter initialization
rtlwifi: rtl8723be: Fix module parameter initialization
It’s just missing rtl8723bs!!! 🙁

The XJubuntu distro has UEFI enabled 32 / 64 bits and you can remaster your own customized copy thanks to Pinguy Builder. So the liveCD/pendrive will boot with no problems on UEFI 32/64 systems. The problem is when you try to install GRUB later on…

Please try installing it on your tablets and let me know what works and what doesn’t, or what would you change. Or change it yourself and make it work for your tablets. And then publish your new distro!
You can download it here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xjubuntu/files/Tablets%20Intel/

XJubuntu is an optimized remix of Ubuntu+Xubuntu with some useful and common programs pre-installed. More info: https://xjesus.net/xjubuntu/intro/

Popcorntime + Spotify + blockify
WPS Office + LibreOfffice
Firefox + Chrome + useful addons (anti-adds, etc.) + flash
Nomacs + Pinta + Gimp + Instagram effects + XNview + OpenShot video editor
Wine + PlayonLinux + Steam + Virtualbox + Dropbox + Teamviewer + …
All kind of codecs, tweaks and tools that you can find in webs like webupd8.org

*** After install you may still need to select your language/keyboard and reboot.

Thanks for your feedback!

 

Please follow up on this post so everybody can share his experience on his tablet:

I just finished uploading the last releases. Please tell me what release are you trying when you give feedback or ask questions.

In the README I’ve updated the last comments as well:

 

I need some help with the EFI 32 that I’ve seen some other people in other tablets/distros got to solve it manually…

And also need help solving the other things I comment on not booting some kernels or not compiling the patches…

But I need time or someone pointing me in the right directions.
This is my experience so far on a Teclast X98 Plus:
– with Linux kernel 4.4.4 I can’t get to compile+install the patches for Realtek 8723BS. But it boots to the graphical interface.

– I am also trying the beta 16.04 and it can compile the patches with 4.4.4 kernel but then I can’t boot to the graphical interface…
– Kernel 4.4.6 doesn’t boot the graphical interface on 14.04 or 16.04 🙁

I tried the iso with Rufus, live option. It seemed to boot fine and I got a splash screen, but at the end it flashed a couple of errors, which I didn’t catch, and all I had was a grey screen with the mouse pointer and the wifi icon. Locked up. Do I have to add the kernel??

Could you post a short how-to with rufus setting for linux idiots like me!

Ok, it booted on the second try, screen rotation is not working for me. Boy this looks sweet! It is in Spanish but maybe you could cook us an English iso?

My Dlink usb wifi worked right away.

Haha, actully, I think it will be harder for me to understand flawless danish than your english, Danish is a hardass language to understand 🙂

 

Yeah l´ll see if I have the time later today. Its just that in one way, I wanna do it, because it would be awesome if I could pull it off. And in another way I dont wanna do it, cause I might destroy the tablet…

Hi, something like this: 5ghz usb

Yuandao N70|ColorFly 808 3G|Chuwi HI12 + (128GB microSD;GPS VK-172 MCDODO case:Stylus Pro Fine)

[Daniel]

Im so so sorry for beeing a retard, but I dont understand a squak of what you just wrote…

The situation is like this:

I know the cable works since it works with other devices                                                                                                                                                                                     I know that the wifi-usb works since it works when I remove the cable and connect it normally to my PC

Hi everybody,

I’m also the proud owner of a Chuwi Hi10 (blue USB / 64 bits version / ordered from banggood). I received it about a week ago. So far, I don’t have too many serious complaints. It feels reasonably snappy, there is a big difference in using MS Edge vs firefox though, edge is much more fluid.

– I had some trouble changing the windows display language from English to my native language (Dutch). For some reason the language pack failed to install properly through the regional settings menu. Eventually fixed it by manually downloading some .cab file and using the windows command ‘lpksetup.exe’.
– I have a slight screen flicker every now and then, but I have not been brave enough yet to flash a new bios.
– Wifi is somehwat unstable. Signal strength seems fine, but waking up from sleep the tablet either fails to connect properly (‘no internet’) and sometimes it won’t allow me to toggle the wifi adapter off/on. Maybe it’s a driver issue. Tends to get annoying a bit.
– I can’t seem to pair properly with an el cheapo bluetooth keyboard. That may either be the el cheapo’s keyboards fault or maybe the default microsoft bluetooth stack isn’t optimal. It’s not a big deal really, I’ll order the dock eventually.
– Inbuilt speakers are really really poor. It’s a bit better with the equaliser trick described on the forums, but I’d use it for notifications only. Headphones or a bluetooth speaker are advised when playing back media (my Earson ER151 paired fine over bluetooth, although it lags about half a second when playing back movies – it’s better to use the 3,5 jack).

I wouldn’t mind trying android on this thing, but it seems we may never see that dual boot feature. Support for Chuwi’s seems to be on the lower end of the spectrum, not many forums discussing this particular model in detail.
