Having been using it for a while, there is a problem with the battery on this one as well. It last maybe 6 hours or normal usage and then needs to be recharged, its terrible 🙁

 

If anyone know a resolution, it would be great?

im going to buy the teclast x98 air, is the freezing 3d issue still common and is there a fix

I’d maybe give it a pass if I had my time over. Theres alot of niggles with it. First off, the original chinese android is useless so you’d need to install a custom one from here. The rom runs smooth, but my battery now lasts less than a single day on light use – not sure if thats a rom issue or tablet. But the tablet still has other things amiss. Such as if you insert a set of earphones you have to take them out about halfway for them to work. Then if you decide to remove them altogether, there is no sound from the tablet – if you reboot its fine again. Also, I found if I remove earphones the screen freezes as well, a lock and unlock solves this. But still, in a quality tablet you dont expect these issues.

Hi Matek,

I still have the original Windows 10 Rom that came with the tablet and it seems to run fine with no power issues that I have noticed. I think I read somewhere about power issues too, but I have no idea if this is only for the Windows patrition, Android or both. But my power levels seems normal. So maybe you have some apps with notifications coming up while you sleep, or apps updating in the background perhaps. This would use your battery. All I can suggest is getting assistance from the knowledgable guys on here as I am new too really. Maybe in the meantime, until you find a fix,  you could turn tablet off when your finished with it, or use an app to stop the applications running in the background safely. Also, check if you have games that you have turned notifcations ‘off’.

 

My table came with Android 4.4.4 like yours I think, but I upgraded to Android 5 Lollipop Rom (X98_Air_3g_android_5.0_mirek190_v5.0-ultra-light) and this runs fine and smooth for me, and even fixed the thermal event issue. Maybe you could try Android 5?

 

I hope you get your tablet running well and get assistance better than my knowledge.

even the cameras?

Yes. Both front and rear work for me 🙂

Brilliant.

It’s slim, it’s sleek and runs smooth. And like you said, not one Thermal Event since!

Many Thanks

🙂 Red

Thanks TechKing.

I already had that rom downloaded but downloaded it again anyway. It has no XML files. Am i missing something here?

 

Edit*

The only files in the extracted folder are@

boot

droidboot

esp

null

recovery

system

 

Edit** I tried the suggested 7z unzipper and it gave different files. So thats a great advance. However,  when I open the rom in MTF i get different options that the expected ones:

 

full flash with repartition

flash system only no wipe data

flash system only wipe date

 

I only want to install the android on the same place the last version was on. Do I have this option here?

 

Thanks

 

Edit***

I went for the option “flash system only wipe date” and it worked!! Thanks for the assistance. I wont edit this post to clean it up in case it helps others in a similar position.

 

Thanks Again

I’ve tried again and its the same result. When I go to try a different Rom instead, e.g “X98_Air_3g_android_5.0_mirek190_v5.0-ultra-light”, there is no *.zip, or *.xml files to allow me to select in the MFT and move onto the flashing. I’m stumped here. Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply Julyfish.

I tried to install the Rom but got error at 80% following the instructions. I saved the log if its of any clue:
