Not even Lenovo or Xiaomi?

That’s strange. I ran files on my old Teclast X98 in Android, and my pen-drives were all formatted in NTFS.

Only one of my stick-drives runs in ex-fat. I never installed anything to run the files.

If that’s an Android thing, it’s a very serious limitation.

[Carlos Martinez]

Why use ex-fat format at all? Why not NTFS?

Not having usb-3 is a bummer indeed. I wonder why they didn’t add it.

Interesting you also had problems with the Teclast x98 3G and with the X3. Maybe the x98 is one of their weak models, as you said. Mine lasted two years and stopped working.

Sorry, just now did I see your video on the three best 2017 tablets, and the T10 seems to be your choice. That certainly says a lot for the Teclast.

It’s a pity you can’t install another OS on it to serve my purposes, or is it possible to install Windows?

[Carlos Martinez]

New contenders have shown on Banggood offers: Teclast 98 and Teclast Master T10.

The T10 is more expensive than the Chuwi, but screen is 10″. Some other things for the T10.

Pity none of them is dual OS, as I was looking for a way to record location quality audio, and Android seems to be bad for that. Windows 10 has several programs that can be used.

Hi Chris,

Even if asked this somewhere else, I would like to ask you here. About the FNF iFive Mini 4S problems I’m having.

As it was on your list of recommended tablets, I wonder if there’s a reliability problem that you can’t judge when you review your samples. The iFive looks very well built, but it freezes and has some other issues. I did read some complaining about it, but I don’t remember where. If you have a suggestion on what to do, please tell me. Perhaps resetting something, I don’t know.

Going back to the Chuwi Hi9, I wonder what I should do. Gearbest is offering other tablets, but I wonder if they are good: Cube iPlay 8 and 10, Onda V10.

My application would be watching movies when bus/plane travelling and card games for my wife. The attractive thing about the Chuwi is that it also Windows 10, which might be interesting for hiqh quality audio recordings, which is impossible with Android.

My only tablet reference is the Teclast X98, which I very much miss and lasted only two years. Are those Cube or Onda tablets worst or better than the Teclast?

[Carlos Martinez]

Which choice is better: Cube iwork8 Pro or iFive Mini 4S?

They are selling for about the same prize in Gearbest and Banggood.

The battery now seems to be empty, so the problem might be the battery.

Pity I don’t have any 3.8v battery around with capacity to power the tablet.

On the external AC supplies, which I will provide one, one did not handle the current and the other, that would, seems to have a defective regulator.

I have a few of those external round 3.7v li-ion 3Ah batteries, but I don’t have a battery holder with terminal cables to use. I’m not sure what the Teclast current needs are.

Perhaps there’s some battery holder where you can series or parallel those 3.7v batteries.

[Carlos Martinez]

I didn’t measure while it was booting, I still can do that. But before that, yes, to check on the voltage. It was 3,8v, as it should.

No, I didn’t unsolder the thermal sensor. That only works for when you are charging the battery, not when running.

[Carlos Martinez]

Will try that. Thanks!

[Carlos Martinez]

I haven’t opened my X98 3G Air II, so I don’t know if it’s possible to perform this full sized USB mod on it.

Has anyone looked into that?
