I have just received my teclast x98 iii android 5 tablet and am finding the sensitivity of the touch screen a bit laggy, I tried subway surfers game and it was nearly unplayable, also browser scrolling was a bit jumpy and sometimes when switching home screens it will open an app . just feels like the screen touch is lagging behind and the touches have to be a bit more deliberate to get it to react. Anyone had this problem is there a fix or tweak for screen sensitivity or should I send it back for replacement. Thanks in advance
My X98 Air 3G also have this issue but after using several time it improve abit , sometime it will hang. So i was thinking flashing a custom rom ,
not sure it will help .Or this is the touch issue across the board for Teclast product.
Let me know if flashing new rom will solve the issue. I am quite new also so don't dare to flash.
Thanks
Same thoughts here
May be people raving about this tablet haven't used good tabs
I had the laggy, jumpy browser at first as well. Now with the guvno ROM on m5c5 and the 2.05 bios update the tablet is pretty snappy. No more touchscreen lag

How's the scrolling when u keep your finger on the screen? My scrolling is smooth when I release my finger from then screen, but little laggy when I keep my finger on the screen while scrolling.. So I'm just wondering if newer bios can fix this.
Seems fine to me. Its definitely a whole lot laggier than my iPhone but I don't find it too bad for what it is (600$ cheaper)

I have a Touch currently and I’m thinking of getting the Diamond. One of the many things I didn’t like about the Touch is how hard you have to press the screen. Does the Diamond screen have the same issue? Or is it more like the iPhone screen.
I have the 200mhz version of the Touch and I find it a bit sluggish sometimes. Although the Diamond has a 582mhz I’ve read a couple of reviews that state it’s sluggish at times, have you guys experienced this?
Thank you.
The screen is very responsive to my touch.
However, I have ran the application "Diamond Tweaks".
It allows you to change the sensitivity, and also has an option for TouchFlo3D speed.
Overall I barely notice any sluggishness unless I'm running many programs.
Either search the forum or google it, it's readily available.

Do you know if the Diamond screen is as hard to press as the Touch screen?
I have them both. Diamond is a little more responsive to the touch but nothing earth shattering. Speed is about the same if you're running 6.1 on your Touch.
The resolution is where the upgrade comes in. If you put the Diamond side by side with the Touch, it's like comparing a standard TV with rabbit ears to a High Definition LCD...
Now, if all you're looking for is a fast phone and don't care too much about the screen resolution, go for a Touch 3G as this has been described as one of the fastest and most responsive WM phones ever.

Have them both too, and too answer your question: NO, you dont have to press at all on the diamond, screen is much better then the touch, hope it helps.

I actually think the difference is quite noticecable between the two.
On the diamond I can actually press very very lightly using my finger while on the Touch I found myself having to poke at it sometimes with the finger nail - but as compared to the iphone it's definitely not as sensitive as they are two different beasts in that regards.
I feel I should mention I have the US 3G Diamond from sprint, and yes it is extremely responsive, quite amazing actually.

I played with the touch(for a month) and own the Diamond for almost 6 month now.
They are on a totally different level. Everything is better on the Diamond, except the batts.
The screen is double in resolution compared to most phones out there, once you go Diamond VGA screen you cant go back.
Screen is very responsive and I must say after some quick tweaks under da hood you are looking at a very responsive screen and device.
You wont regret it for a second if you switch.

Not entirely true, I'd gladly turn in VGA for QVGA to speed things up really. And the new HTC Touch phones seem to be way more responsive than the first/older models.
That being said, I went from a HTC Touch (one of the first) to a HTC Diamond. The difference was indeed almost day and night (so to speak).
I've played with some newer Touch models, and it has improved quite a bit (or I just had a 'lucky' model which was very responsive). Still, the Diamond has a really nice Touchscreen.
Also the VGA is/was very nice (especially at the beginning), but now the lack of speed starts to annoy me.
Reason for me to start looking at the Touch 3G and the Asus P552w. Where the Asus is the preferred one at the moment since benchmarks (see here and here) show that little thing rocks.
And I've kinda lost faith in HTC and their Qualcomm drivers. That Asus phone really looks like it could be one of the fastest and smallest wm6.1 devices out there. But I can only tell you for sure once I've given it a testrun myself .
Edit:
To come back to the HTC Touch 3G speed compared to the Asus P552w, it could be nice to compare the following two benchmarks made by the same site:
HTC Touch 3G Benchmark (half way down)
Asus P552w Benchmark
As you can see in my profile my ROM version, so I don't know if I have one of the good HTC touch or not.
The screen on my Touch has weird colors on it and I'm wondering to get it fixed (my warranty runs out on Jan 7, 2009 so in 1 week) or should I do a hardware upgrade to the Diamond.
Why not get it fixed in warranty ánd perhaps get a Diamond? That way you at least have a good Touch you could sell or something.
Unless they give you a Diamond in exchange, but I very much doubt that.
I purchased a note from amazon last week . when the phone arrived the screen had the banding issue so I re ordered a replacement
The smoothness of the banded phone was really good - yes the home screens lagged a little however the new phone which arrived today has a real lag .. it doesnt seem fluid when moving between home screens , the apps tray does seem smooth ..... i have HD widgets on my home screen, my email app and message app widgets and couple of contacts on direct dial
It just doesnt seem fluid as it should be with a dual core 1.4 .....
Is it possible for the processor to be faulty or am I worrying about something which will be changed on ICS .... I know I am looking hard for faults as I want the perfect handset at the price ive paid ...
The screen on this one is perfect as far as I can tell (ive decided some apps have the banding not the screen) I have decided its perfect because a HD film is out of this world .
What do you think .. if im happy with the screen and everything else .. is the lag something which will go over time with firmware update
Thanks in advance
HD widgets make the screen transition laggy(only on that page).. just try removing it./..
I'd say its fully possible with faulty hardware similair to pc with fault ram. Me and My friend have the same issue, my note is fully tweaked and he is on stock rom NO tweaks. He never experiences the 1-3 lag that i've described in my topic so yes I think there are faulty units, since In my case even when reverting to stock the 1-3sec lag is there, yawn!
Were they both running the same firmware?
Did you upgrade your Firmware OTA (Settings -> Phone Info -> Software Update)? If no, do so. The current firmware is WAY more responsive.
Its probably possible everyone goes on about lag here but mine is smooth always, the only time it lags is when I first get on the homescreen after boot up after a couple of seconds though the lag disappears.
There are a lot of lag complaints on the note, Im yet to actually see one though so Im guessing it could be a defective part.. why not try to hardreset the phone and see from there?
first, this thread is not the same with the one titled multitouch lag/issues. i think mine is different. Just recently my galaxy ace touchscreen became unresponsive, i mean the touchscreen doesnt work and i have to repeatedly press an item inorder to select it. the phone boots up pretty fast and when the touch screen works sometimes the transition effect is fluid thats why i think its not related with the processors speed. i have tried reflashing another custom rom and flashing through odin but its still unresponsive. and im pretty sure that i havent dropped my phone in the past few days. what could be the reason behind its unresponsiveness? and anyone knows how to solve this thing?
Reply
Did you put screen protectors on your ace especially the ‘’fingerprint-less screen protector''? that can decrease the sensitivity of the touchscreen or you can try applying patches to improve the sensitivity of the touchscreen. Most probably the touchscreen is somehow damaged. But remember, our phone's touchscreen isn't good enough as the armv7 devices. hope it helps!
Hello everyone, I am very interested in buying this tablet because of the win 8.1+Android boot BUT I have read mixed reviews that some come ok while others come with problems. I personally don't want to deal with broken youtube, play store and etc.
Is there like a stock android ROM for this? Will flashing a new ROM damage the windows in the Tablet? Is it fairly straightfoward like a normal android tablet? Any tips, opinions, reviews and etc. Are greatly appreciated.
I have purchased this tablet and using it for a few weeks now. Dual boot Air II (not the 3G as I've seen videos on youtube showing that they are slower than the Air II). When I first got it, the play store wasn't working, however, when I updated the software through Teclast's update app (all in chinese) it work.
I haven't had any problems with it so far, everything is working fine. I've tried some very heavy games without any lag. It just lowers the brightness if it gets to hot. Also another note, I hated their UI, I think they tried to copy iOS. So I just downloaded a custom launcher and fixed the problem.
Based from my own experience I would recommend this tablet. I also bought it for the dual boot capabilities. (came pre-installed with dual boot windows 8.1 + android 4.4.4)
im quite frustrated with mine...here are the reasons.
windows runs very well. would be great apart from the fact that the battery wont get me through a whole day of fair use. also, wifi seems to drop sometimes.
android runs SLOW. launcher stuff is a bit laggy. it has to pause to think quite often. and wifi, again seems very spotty - stops working for 30 seconds randomly - frustrating.
also....with regards putting different roms on, etc - there is less knowledge out there about the Air ii - most of the posts are relevant to the 3g model so finding solid information about the Air ii is difficult. I cant recommend at this stage...
in regards to the wifi, try turning off wifi optimization in the settings
it seemed to work better on mine after I turned it off.
buddy,
how's the battery life?
any cons now???
Got the Teclast X98 Air 2 HG8N a few days ago from TinyDeal. Arrived with dual boot 4.4/8.1, both in Chinese. Had to change to English, get online and ran OTA/Windows updates. No issues with camera orientation or Google Play. So far, very nice tablet. The Windows experience is odd. I want to swipe a lot for navigation since I've owned a few iOS/Android tablets before. Taking some getting used to actually using scrollbars again. Also found out that some sites and programs really are not designed for such a relatively small screen. Options are very small and hard to hit correctly with a finger. Stylus helps, but still tricky occasionally. I would recommend it with the caveats that it will not be in English, Android has a lot of crapware, and Windows can be tricky. I would like to install W10 and custom ROM but still trying to get a handle on the process for this model. Similar model threads are hundreds of pages, and may not be entirely compatible with this one.
Editing my post after getting a few more days hands on with this one. Initially there was a lot of focus on setup, config, tweaking, it was my new toy. Got it to a comfortable, useable state and now down to actual usage. The screen is gorgeous, that part still holds very true. The battery life is terrible. Android seems better than Windows, but I haven't done any benchmarking or close examination. It looks like for Android at least, the OS itself is consuming the most battery. I haven't gotten a single day of usage without stopping to charge at least once. I pretty much just keep it plugged up unless I walk outside with it for a bit. Right now focusing on how I can replace the pre-installed OS's and see if that will be any better. I have years of experience in IT, but not in an area like this so it is slow going for the moment. I'd recommend this still, but be prepared to tinker a long time. If you want an out of the box experience ready to go then this is not a good choice at all.
I have had my airII 3g since about february 2015. I still like it. screen is great - usually have the brightness turned right down to low as I use it indoors. have used both windows and android and it works well. I prefer to use android, windows buttons can be small to try and touch. Main use for mine is just facebook and internet browsing, and reading books, I did take it on a couple 8 hour flights and watched downloaded videos in windows and it was awesome. Speakers could be a bit louder. Once I rooted it and removed chinese android seems to run way better, battery life is good in my opinion but I guess im not a heavy user. I do have wifi drops in android although I recently downloaded wififix from playstore and it seems to be a lot better. Also after rooting i have found I rarely get the thermal brightness throttling message - cant remember last time I saw it. Tablet seems well made and has a bit of weight to it, I have mine in a Ipad air case which is good, its just the camera holes dont match. The 2.5amp charger that comes with it would be the minimum I would want to charge it with, my kids have teclast x80h with 2amp charger and its too small. I think there is also an issue when having bluetooth on for my headphone and using the wifi at same time can cause wifi to be slow. either way I am happy with purchase, knowing that at the end of the day it is a chinese tablet and would require tinkering with and maybe some issues, but its great specs for the money. I dont use 3g on it, i mainly only bought it as it was 64gig model.
It is a great device
i have the air ii hg9m and i would only recommend this to someone who is comfortable troubleshooting and fixing small issues as these chinese tablets are plagued with them, fortunately theres tons of support from this site with lots of cool people fixing any issue that might arise, as for mine (the newest air ii at the time of this hg9m) ive only had minor issues, like choppy 3d games in android, standby battery drain in windows, some overheating, slow charging and battery calibration issues, and no ota updates in android. but the basic functionality of the device has remained in tact. Thats also a huge advantage of dual os, if im having an issue with one os i can try the other to do what i want. If youre truly looking for a trouble free experience then apple is the way to go, imo they are your best bet at a good 100% trouble free experience, but you pay a lot for those odds.
Stylus?

Would you mind sharing what stylus are you using that works with this tablet? I have not found one that works.
Thanks!

Couple of little generics I had laying around but both had a metal mesh tip. The rubber tips didn't work for me on this one either.
Hi guys!
I've recently bought a used x98 air 3g & have some questions about it. Mainly wondering if Win 8 .1 ever was smoother than windows 10 or not?
Cause for me.. compared to my phone this tablet is terribly laggy and even compared to my old tegra4 nvidia note 7 with only 1GB ram the x98 is just lagggggy..
This lag is generally noticeable in scrolling, navigation in browser window, scrolling inside any app window etc.
The processor itself doesn't feel slow, I mean the process times are fair enough but the UI feels horrible & seems to be always catching up a few seconds after input. Especially noticeable if you flick the fingers in sideways motion or in the new paint 3d app..almost a 2-3 second delay can be seen.
Is it an issue of some drivers ? I have latest Intel 2017 drivers for the display.
& once again repeating myself- question to users of it - did win8.1 ever seem smoother to you & did you have such issues in it too?
