Some questions regarding Chuwi Vi8 Dual OS version

[Justin]

1. Yes. All these tablets suffer from heat especially if you are playing games. See if this helps: http://www76.zippyshare.com/v/fmAPgRzV/file.html
2. Yes it works on the Windows side, not Android
3. Don’t know but you can find the complete set of drivers in my tutorial, including the switcher here: http://techtablets.com/forums/topic/how-to-update-to-windows-10-on-chuwi-vi8/
4. Not that you can delete/merge “Safely”
5. There always is. Use a proper Partition manager, Although after upgrading to Windows 10 I had 18 gigs free in Windows AFTER installing the OS.
6. Yes. I used the files here. Extract, and run the .BAT file. This worked for me. You will need to install the Android SDK. Included the needed windows drivers. http://www83.zippyshare.com/v/RdE4SlUs/file.html
7. No. And I don’t think there will be.

Thanks alot for the info, just ordered mine at geekbuying.

1  . Was referring to those severe problem where the temperature approach/reach Tjmax and throtting will occurs, such as those in the x98 pro (without heat mod).

2. Hmm.. thought acronis supported ext2,ext3 and ext4 for disk/partition level backing up and recovering, what file system is android using exactly?

3. I have trouble opening the downloaded drivers pack for some reason even though the full 60.5mb is downloaded, will have to try again later or another day on another connection, keeps showing as corrupted.

 

And another question, what do I get if i factory reset the android system? Back to the state where bloatware and the windows/OS switcher is installed? Or to a state that even these 2 (the OS switcher is important) are gone?

Hi…I have a Chuwi vi8, I have managed to delete both the windows and Android OS. I put on Windows 10 tried to download the drivers for it from the link given here. My dekstop computer tells me the winrar file has an error, so cannot get the necessary Win 10 drivers.  Just want to return my Chuwi back to Windows 8.1. Have made a bootable Windows 8.1 usb flashdrive but now when I go into the bios boot manager my usb flashdrive does not show. Have reset the bios to optimal settings and tried 3 other flashdrives with win 8.1 still does not show for me to boot off. Any ideas how to get my flashdrive to show.

1. Not Sure
2. Haven’t tried but you can.
3. UPDATE your Winrar. This file was not uploaded by me and was also made using the latest version of Winrar which is not backward compatible. So get the latest official version. The file is NOT corrupt.

Factory reset is just that – the image stored on the hidden partitions are put back. ALL your apps will be removed. As though this is the first day you got your Chuwi. Of course after the reset you can download your apps as Google keeps a list of them.

Hi Justin…Yes you are right. your file is not corrupt. I was trying to open the Windows 10 driver file with an older version of winrar. Have done as you suggested, downloaded a current version of winrar and it opened the downloaded file. So thanks once again for the info.

Anybody else noticed the malware on the android side of the tablet. Keep getting full sized adverts popping up from nowhere anyone know how to get rid of them . Tried antivirus and malware programs which find the problem but can’t delete them. Thanks

No malware comes with the tablet. This is from some APP you installed after that. The best way is to get CCCleaner and remove the apps YOU installed one by one and also check what is running in the background. If that fails then do a clean Refresh and get back to the Factory settings.

Hi, just got my vi8 dual os version, but I noticed

1. Upon booting into windows, the OS switcher will automatically pop up. It can be safely cancelled but is quite irritating. Have tried uninstalling original switcher and installing the one in the link above, same results. Cant find any related startup items except for a service which needs to run if you want the switcher to work. Can anything be done for this?
2. When using android and using the OS switch button to windows, microsd card cannot be detected in windows until a shutdown is performed and tablet is repowered on, any idea how to fix this?

Thanks.

1. Uninstall the app and reboot. Check if the annoying window pops up. Then install the one I linked to. If it pops up then somewhere in Windows is a setting to run this file on startup. You will need to check where it is starting from. For that the best is Autoruns from Microsoft.  Link() Autoruns Using that you can find every program and service that starts up automatically. Find the app and you can then disable it from startup.
2. This is a known problem with Android. It locks the SD port and will not release it till you reboot. Unfortunate but that is not a Win problem. No known workaround found as yet.
