@Windave : Do you have detailed pictures ?

[esjay]

Both Android and Windows don’t read my SDCards anymore. They are detected but fail to mount.

[esjay]

That looks like a hardware issue. I haven’t seen anybody report this. Contact your seller and good luck.

It’s included in the zip, as well as the drivers you’ll need.

I’ve also been experimenting with creating flows in “automate” from play store that disable wifi before the device ends up in deep sleep. I’d like to share them. Maybe somebody learns from it , maybe somebody has superior ideas.

Btw @piotr : you have my attention…maybe we can help you test?

I would go for teclast x80 variants. Similar device, no complaints seen on the internet.

TWRP 3.0.1 and SUperSU Beta 2.71 on XDA worked for me too.

Does anybody know how to boot in TWRP with the key combination ? power + volume down/up doesn’t seem to work.

Then the next thing… did anybody managed to install xposed framework ? I’m currently stuck in the bootloop, failing to boot into TWRP(key combination?) , meaning i can’t disable xposed. It looks like I have to flash again

TWRP + ROOT.

I succeeded in TWRP but not in root.

Dual boot or single? Android or Windows?

@emily

Are Engineers working on the sleep of death issue that is plaguing our Chuwi Hi 8 Pro Dual boot – Android ?

[esjay]

I’m not sure that it’s bios. My screenshot shows at least a serious battery drain issue in android system. You’d expect it to be between 5and15% on a normal functioning device.

Even their forum is junk. I can’t activate my account. The activation email, i received contained a bunch of weird characters and no link to click. Probably it was in Chinese. Until now i failed to make it readable and clickable. Grrr frustration with Chuwi is growing.

[esjay]

What can we do about it ?
What if we start complaining and asking for a fix in their forum (http://forum.chuwi.com/forum.php?gid=38)? Would they respond to that ?How are the resellers responding ?(Gearbest, Banggood,…) Can we put pressure on them to make Chuwi fix this ? I guess they don’t like bad reviews in the first place…

Together with the fail to wake from deep sleep, i noticed a battery drain. My device had this waking up issue almost every time I dare to leave it alone for a while. Even while charging. This is how i was able to proove it that it was having battery drain.( In battery stats the charge level was lower after reboot than before reboot).

[esjay]

I have the same issue. I’ve bought my Chuwi hi8 pro from gearbest.

A tip if you don’t care about Windows:

Somebody on needrom.com posted an android only ROM. I’ve tried this ROM and it doesn’t have this issue. (http://www.needrom.com/download/chuwi-hi8-pro-dual-os/)

 

Edit: 2 days later, battery drain/no wake also started with the android only ROM.
