Title: Android Wifi Problems
Hello!

Got my HiBook and like it so far, aside from one very annoying, bad issue – under Android I can’t keep a stable and fast Wifi connection. Wifi will slow down randomly, disconnect every few seconds/minutes, becomes unresponsive and such. I tried a multitude of Wifi networks and locations, and it’s all the same. Anyone have any idea what to do? It’s working just fine in W10, but unusable in Android.

Thanks already in advance,
Zax

I have registered on Chuwi’s forums a couple of weeks ago, however, I can not verify as I have not received an E-mail from Chuwi, there is a post from emily saying that if people register and don’t receive an E-mail to contact her but to contact her you need to be registered, LOL.

[Andy B]

I have not registered there at all (yet).  But you don’t have to register to download the file. @nbat58

Strange, the cloud asked for a password and accessing it from Chuwi’s site it says that I needed to be verified.

I will try again.

@nbat58 I just registered on the Chuwi forum.  They instantly accepted my registration without any email verification.  They never sent an email – they just said basically “welcome, you’re registered” as soon as I submitted my desired username and password, etc.  Edit: It looks like email verification was dropped on May 17th.  They were having problems with their email system and getting complaints about verification on new registrations.

I will have to register again in that case, thanks  for  the update.

How exactly do you install this Bios update? I cant seem to find any instructions.

Are these the instructions you followed? Sorry if I’m being a bit obnoxious here, I just don’t want to kill my new tablet.

[Jarrod]

I have tried flashing those bios multiple times with no luck. When I try to boot from the usb stick it just boots normally. Has it worked for anyone?

[Andy B]

I will be trying out the instructions as soon as I get the darn thing delivered. Hopefully someone else can chime in beforehand and help you out. Chris updated his… Lots of people here have updated.

I just tried to flash my bios and my tablet won’t turn on now. Screen is black and it doesn’t do anything. Is there something like a recovery mode or something?

[NB]

@Ahmed, you may need to contact Chuwi for the steps to recovery, you can get help from emily either on this forum or Chuwi’s own forum.

Hope you’ll get it sorted mate, please let everyone here know how you got on.

Someone who already update bios can give me instruction how to update it?

[Andrew Birch]

I tried to update the BIOS too using the update on tech tablets download section and mine is bricked too. Cannot even get a charge LED.
