think i'm hooked.
just ran into this and i think i'm hooked.
Something like this is the missing link in my arsenal.
Has anyone purchased tested? What do you think?

Hi there,this looks interesting anyone using this device? would like to hear
a hand on report
btw where can we buy this device and price??

ive been researching this tablet for a few hours now and from what i can tell theres no market app...which wouldnt be so bad because you could download all the apks to your sd card, but theres also no file explorer which means that plan is moot. everything though, is a dream!

I purchased one of these little beauties with 2.1 on it. When running 2.1, the bluetooth, audio and gps are broke. Audio works but is very quiet, bluetooth and gps simply do not work. I used adb to install apps, most fc'd after install. There is a new ROM out for it that fixed most of the fc's, but did not fix bt or gps. When I contacted support, I was told that if i wanted to use gps I should install wince...
Otherwise, the device is very sexy, very fast and feels to be quite durable. If they can get the 3 issues listed above worked out, this thing will be awesome.

Well? Where is the update. Have you made any progress with the wisitech? Access to marketplace at this point?
Thanks for keeping us updated!

Newest firmware fixed low sound,no gps,and has market. Also has Flash with froyo.

It looks like this wisitech has a lot of support? Is it performing up to expectations since the last few firmware updates?

ViewSonic is releasing a 10.1-inch tablet that will dual boot Windows 7 and Android 1.6.
http://technolog.msnbc.msn.com/_new...nics-10-inch-tablet-boots-windows-and-android
My question is, why ONLY Android 1.6??? Android 2.x has been out for months and they can't have it integrated into this device? Bad decision in my opinion. Although the article does say ViewSonic has another tablet that has Android 2.2, it isn't one that dual boots. Just thought I'd share.

Witstec A81G
I just ordered the A81G (supposedly everything is working), with 2.2.
I ordered it because (in theory) it dual boots into WinCe and 2.2, GPS working in both operating systems, removable battery (most do not and most do not have very long battery life, makes the product virtually useless, as a mobile device) once the battery is dead) and a matte screen.
If all the above is true then it is one heck of a deal at $205, shipped (ordered it from Hotmid). It is it not then it will make a great paper weight.
The videos of the product on YouTube seemed very promising.
Once I get it (I was too cheap to pay for quicker shipping), around Jan 151011, I will post my review and indicate whether I accomplished the dual boot.
I even saw a video on line showing it with Multi-touch. Hmmm.

Problem with Market solved
This is the solution.
Android market setting
1) Press Home button
2) Click settings
3) Chose Applications / Manage applications
4) click Running TAB
5) Find Market program in the list and click
6) Click :
a. Clear cache
b. Force stop
7) Press back button On 81
8) Find Google Services Framework and click (Running TAB)
9) Click
a. Clear data (DELTE warning will appear. Click OK)
b. Force stop
10) Go back to Home page of A81
11) Try to Run Market
12) You should see new window with following message: An error occurred. Please try
again. (this is good message telling that all steps was done successfully)
13) Turn OFF device
14) Turn ON device
15) Make sure you have Internet connection (WiFi or other) and SD card is inserted
16) Run Market
Now its working fine.

After downloading the file Just unzip it contains two folders one is .img file of firmware and other is Livesuit folder.
Follow the below mentioned step for flashing via Livesuit.
1.Before attaching your tablet to your PC, run the file 'LiveSuitPack_v1.07.exe' from within the Livesuit folder. This should install a new device on your system (VID_1f3a_PID_efe8). This device may show with an exclamation mark in Windows Device Manager, this doesn't matter and can be ignored.
2.Without attaching your tablet to your PC run 'LiveSuit.exe' from within the Livesuit folder. You should get an application with 6 icons.
You will be asked if you want to be guided through the process, select no
3.Click on the leftmost icon (a cube), browse to your downloaded firmware image Zync Z1000-OS.img, and select it.
4.Turn the tablet completely off. The tablet should be off throughout the update process.
Now attach your tablet to your PC by USB cable whilst holding down the volume+ button on the top. Straight after attaching the cable, and whilst still holding down the volume+ 5.button, start pressing the tablet power button repeatedly (approx 1 press per second for 10 seconds is enough). This procedure puts the tablet into update mode.
After a few seconds a window will pop up on your PC asking if you want to perform a forced firmware update. You can release volume+ at this point. Select yes. You will be asked if you're sure. Select yes.

Hi nilesh:
Please post the review of the tablet as soon as you receive it..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i am sorry to say but i cancelled my order as tab doesn't have gps
basically i was going to need it for navigation
now waiting for galaxy nexus 10 the beautiful one at cheapest rate

I'm planning to get this tab, but please give PURE review of hows the tab performs, cuz this tab has passed my spec limits I.e 1GHZ CPU, 1GB RAM, >8" screen. But 16:9 OR HD type.
...
PROCESSOR - Which ARM Architecture, how it mutitasks, is it same as previous zync tab with 1.5ghz(many tech sites reviewed the CPU as very bad)
SCREEN - DPI, brightness, viewing angle, touch response, text clarity, color quality
RAM - OK it has enough.
BATTERY - how much it lasts on continous 3G(or 2g internet), Charging time, does it charges through USB.. etc..
CAMERA - No need.
OTHER - supports OTG?, HD video playback, webpage rendering, PDF OR text crispness +, +, +
ALL this info is VERY CRUCIAL to me. As this will be my FIRST tablet EXPERIENCE, and I don't wanna to be discouraged/feel bad about its features.
AT LAST- if the CPU doesn't fares even with 1GB RAM, then I may flock to any DUAL CORE cpu. As the upcoming HCL ME tab is having all this tab features + 2Cores. Also the budget trend is shifting to dual cores.
I can wait.

Review of Zync Z1000
I received the tablet yesterday from flipkart, At first I was not impressed by the features, but after using for one full day I came to the below conclusions:
Pros:
1.Network connectivity is good for both 3G and 2g,Don't confuse it works alike a 3G mobile i.e we can use it for voice, video calls on 2g and 3g networks respectively, and also we can connect data on 3G, Edge and GPRS network.
2.Screen resolution is O.K type.
3.Touch is good,
4. Sometimes the tab lags, but most of the time it works well
5. Support HD videos and games, works well
6. Aldiko ebook reader app included, best for reading ebooks and PDFs
7. Somewhat sleek and slim in design 13mm thick.
8. Charging via USB port, I charged the tab via my Samsung micro USB charger.
Cons:
1. Though 7000 mah battery included the battery last around 5-6 hours only.
2. The tablet is little bit heavy around 1Kgs
3. Easy to hold in portrait, than in landscape mode.
4. Inbuilt key board is not so good.
5. Camera quality is worst, though its not main purpose for me.
6. Lags and force closes with 3 or more applications
Overall it is nice tablet for new buyers and average quality for those who were already using tablets or Ipad.

Yep, You may not believe that, the review you provided, I had viewed previously, so I jumped over this thread mentioned by you on flipkart which bases the post I posted on this thread above.
So if this your final review then I'm not impressed by this tab performance OR will wait for major tech sites testing & reviews.
Until then congrats & enjoy.
---------- Post added at 01:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 AM ----------
As per your review, Everything is OK for me, but the true LOW-DOWN is its CPU.
Cuz, I'm a heavy MULTI-TASKER(not games but large memory consuming apps), and net user, so....
As far as the apps crash automatically is may be due to high temperature.

Custom ROM coming soon!
Kitkat update has been released! Build number: G6-20140929-144358,2014093
kitkat G6-20140929 download: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/3670a7a4ef72/G6-20140929-1443584.4.zip
been using 4.4 for a few hours and already it seems pretty good. RAM usage is good and xposed works!
The battery, dimensions and dual speakers are what interest me most. When comparing to the Note 3, this is just 5mm taller and has an extra 300mah in the battery.
Anyone else have this phone?

Ordered a white 32gb/2gb model today, cost £200.99. Also bought a rubber case for £2.something
Delivery is 5-15 business days. hopefully i get it soon, very excited

1. No Kitkat release yet
2. Call ID is not display for incoming call
3. Not root available

Had a look at a Russian forum, and many users have reported the speakers rattling, and some guy had quite a few dead pixels on his device. I really hope mine doesn't have any dead pixels arghh.
TWRP is available, and maybe a MIUI Rom. Gonna post links later

Hi,
I already have this one for over a month now and I really like it. But I hope the community gets bigger.
So there will be more tricks and tweaks. I'm just a thinker and leecher.
Wdeb

Got the device yesterday and so far ive been quite impressed.
Build quality is good, no creaking.
GPS works very well! Gets a lock with no internet in 10 seconds. Very accurate, more than suitable for regular navigation.
Speakers are VERY good, loud+clear.
Front camera 8mp is v/good, soooo much detail. Rear camera is good, focuses very fast. There is a lot of noise in low light however, and shutter speed becomes very slow.
WiFi signal is strong, better than all my prev droid devices.
Root can be enabled in settings
Bad stuff:
Stock launcher and theme are very ugly, also the app switcher is iOS style, and slow. Also note this gives the wrong RAM usage reading.
Overall, ui isn't as quick as it should be. Don't get 60fps transitions everywhere. The jiayu g3s beats the g6 there.
'Aliyun OS' atm xposed probably won't work and will cause brick.
Will comment on battery later, but screen on time will be around 5 hours.

Discovered some small bug in the camera app. Photo mode must be set to '13mp 4:3' for the video camera to record in 1080p, otherwise it will be 720p.
The gyroscope (might) be messed up, the axis are swapped, so if you move left or right on x axis, the phone thinks you are moving up or down on y axis. This is common with mtk6592 devices. I've only tried using the gyroscope in street view on google maps, so could just be a bug in that app.
I got 6h37 minutes screen on time a few days ago! Without a doubt the battery is 3500mah. Phone was on minimum brightness, wifi was on all the time and 3g was active for about 90 minutes. I was basically using snapchat all day. The battery percent is slightly inaccurate, 100 to 90 percent decreases slowly, then lasting 90% decreases in a linearly. Some other people have also had a miscalculated battery, it is something to look out for but not much of a problem, since the battery lasts so long anyway. I don't think recalibrating with an app will fix this but I will try.
The Jiayu S2 was very recently updated to kitkat. That phone has identical specs to the G6, so I think it is very likely the G6 will get updated to kitkat soon too.
Chrome browser scrolling is really laggy, stock browser performance is very good, but most the search providers are Chinese. I recommend using Bing, as that detects your language. Google is in Chinese. You can set your homepage to the correct language.

I've own also a G6 and have massive problem with it... ob better with the backup i've done befor i updated the rom to the newest version.
I’m not able to restore the user data with the build in “Android system recovery e3″, it simple says “no sd-card” (G6 has only phonememory, no sd). I've made the backup via e3 befor i flashed the new version, so i have now a clean g6, a backup from nearly 530MB (named “userdata_20140820_184248.backup”) and can´t restore it. Is there another solution to restore it (I have already tried nanodroid and TitanBackup, none can work with this backup-typ (will not show it)…
If i have a look at the phone with the root explorer, it shows me to under root\sdcard the phonememory, under root\storage sdcard0 (which is also the phonememory) and sdcard1
, which is only r/o with a size of "0". Phonememory is shown as 24,11 GB. It seems that something went wrong with the update.... Meanwhile i have restored the apps manually, but i'm not able to do a new Backup (error: no sd-card if i use the build in e3-backup solution)....
Any idea how to fix this error?

Firmware update??
I was reading the last reply, were Chris4Me mentioned a new firmware??? But where does that one come from?
I did see the one on Needrom, from Socrates. But because I can't find a back-up-method that completely backs up the phone, I haven't tried it. I want to go back to the former state. So something like ghost-images for the PC but now for the phone. Does someone have that?
I do like the G6 a lot. Sometimes it lags a bit, but most of the time it works perfect.

Here's the link. I don't think it includes flashtools program. In flashtools select 'upgrade firmware'. The phone storage is formatted, you will lose all data on the phone so remember to backup!
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/3670a7a4ef72/G6-20140929-1443584.4.zip
Might make a tutorial in weekend

Hi,
thank you... i'll download it...
Done... there are no (flash-)tools in the package...
By the way, which recovery solution are you using (cwm/twr)?
I've tried severale (for example: Carliv Touch 6044 v2.5), but none will work (i always get a "no sdcard" error), reason seems to be the virtual sdcard of the G6...
So i'm using instead of cwm/twr the titaniumbackup and nanodroid... i hope it will work, i don't will loose all my apps and data again...

Rooting G6
Hi All,
I ordered G6 and will receive it next week.
Is there a way for rooting the device?
I need the root to repair the IMEI due to custom regulations in my country.
Jiayu support answered that there is no engineerinf mode available on the original ROM.
Therefore I need the root to play with Mobile Uncle Tools.
Thx in advance

Teclast X16HD support English?

Yes, Android support English(you can use settings to change into English), but Default Windows 8.1 with Bing can't do this, you have to upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro for adding additional language.

I have same tablet and I found same problem. It comes with only chinese single language version 8.1 and there no way to install english or other language.
I tried one tutorial using command line but now my tablet cannot start correctly and it show error and ask for recovering.
Someone can help with an easy way to delete chinese and add different language?
Thanks

Open Control Panel, then use "Add Windows 8.1 Features", input your Windows 8/8.1 Professional License key and click next, after restart several times, you should be able to install other language.

Just ordered mine on Banggood
Is there a way to remove or reduce Android partition?
Edit 05/22/2015 : Just received my X16HD 3G 64GB.
After crashing my Android rom (inconsistent UID or something like this) after trying to remove chinese apps after root, I reflashed the Android rom from files from dl.dbank.com/c0zzh1czvt
Above link concerns X16HD 3G (M5J4) while mine is X16HD 3G (M5J5). Don't know the difference.
Is there another owner of the X16HD tablet? I'm so lonely

Keyboard features limited in Android mode
Just wondering if there's a shift key feature to enable typing in all the symbols when the docking keyboard is attached... the only symbol I can use are all the lower case keys. Important symbols like exclmation mark and 'at', hashtag, dollar sign can't be activated, and I have to detach it, to enable the keyboard so I can press it, and some app actually will auto refreshed the screen upon docking and removing, and it removes whatever thing I previously typed into any fields. Very unproductive..... anyway, I am also looking forward to a English version of the windows... hope some god appear to save us 'exlaimation marks x 3'
anyway, i also realised that the x16hd have a design issue... do not put it in squeezy area, as the back of the tablet sinks in easily, causing the front glass to stick to the LCD, causing a stick mark... i manage to bend it back by applying a force onto the screen directly, praying that it won't break... slowly, it was bent back, and it unsticked itself, but with little pressure like pressing it onto my shirt to cleaning it, will easily cause it to bend back... just take note and don't let this happen. cover doesn't help. it bends too easily

Where i can find product key?

How did u reflash the rom? I have managed to stuff my UI on android after root

Teclast X16HD Original ROM and Installations (in English-ish) here
Hi All,
I've bought this tablet, it's good but of course it comes with an all-chinese manual and no support etc. So if you're like me and start deleting partitions without really knowing what you're doing and trust your luck, you might need a full reinstall one day and unless you speak chinese, you're out of luck
So I took the time and researched the teclast website, downloaded the How-To manual, translated it into English (Google translate so don't expect A-Grade sentences) and made a doc out of it.
The document with detailed how-to and screenshots is attached down here (DOC inside the ZIP). It's the exact translation from the Chinese one from the manufacturer, so don't blame me if something doesn't work
The actual link to download the ROM: dl.vmall.com/c0zzh1czvt - click the folder and download the files one by one (don't fall for those chrome extensions and stuff, nobody needs them).
+Edit: remove all the chinese characters from all the folder names after you dl&extract .
Cheers, hope I could help anyone.

Thanks, I did the same.
Flashed both systems 5-6 times (from a Windows 7 computer. The Intel Android Device USB Drivers v1.5 works well on Win7 but failed to install on Win8.1. Drivers v1.9 installed correctly on Win8.1 but the tablet isn't recognized).
Toolbox from Teclast X98 worked well to root Android from X16HD.
Pay attention, don't uninstall (with Titanium Backup for example) the apps :
- "Game Center",
- tUI (the original Launcher)
- Update
or you'll have to reflash Android system because it won't boot anymore.
Game Center can be disabled, but the option is disabled for tUI and Update.
I installed Nova Launcher and hide these apps from its customization menu.
Installed all the Google apps from Play Store.
All (Inbox, Gmail, Calendar...) works well except Contacts : I can't synchronize with my Google contacts book.
How about you?

Hi guys, I just hit this thread because I was researching how people are going with the Teclast X16HD 3G as it looks like an interesting tablet. I just got the Teclast X98 Air 3G tablet 5 days ago from OKQI and it seems all fine, zero lockups or anything unpleasant like that but I am interested in what else is out there as well now. This has been my first tablet away from Apple.
While the windows 8.1 is quite flashy looking I think I will stick to Android, although I am surprised/disappointed how crappy Chrome looks on it compared to Chrome in Windows 8.1
The main interest for me with the Teclast X16HD 3G 10.6 was the larger screen. as its 10.6 inches.
I noticed a few posts on here complaining they can't get English going in Windows with Bing on it with a *fully activated* installation and I remember reading a while ago this article below.
It basically says that Microsoft deliberately disables the ability to have English on Windows 8.1 with Bing with a fully activated key on tablets bigger then 10.1" inch in size. Well thats the way I understand it anyway.
"Microsoft Windows 8.1 with Bing" is a very specific version of windows aimed at holding ground against Android OS in the tablet wars, is another way of putting it.
Google "Windows 8.1 with Bing licensing model explained, essentially free for some tablets" But not if their too big..
http://www.winbeta.org/news/windows-81-bing-licensing-model-explained-essentially-free-some-tablets
These cheaper MS Windows licences have been aimed at the cheaper tablet market against Android (and also Chinese market in general)
So yeah as far as I see it the Teclast X16HD 3G 10.6 is "0.5" inches too big and I guess Windows 8.1 very well knows that too.

Mine from Banggood was delivered with english installed.
No idea how they did. After reflashing windows partition, no way to change back to english from chinese.
Hopefully I have a spare Win8.1 licence.
I'm testing Win10 technical preview. For now, all is working perfectly.

Hello turtlez86, I bought this tablet this week, and I have the same problem with keyboard in android (in windows it's ok), no works ALT, and other keys. Did you find a solution?

IE11 is preinstalled with Windows8.1, no additional action is required. Just update it via Windows Update. But if you are using thirdparty browser(e.g. Firefox/Chrome), you need to install standalone Adobe Flash Player Plugin.

The Chuwi Vi7 3G Tablet. Very affordable for under $60!
Mod edit: Commercial links removed
1. INTRODUCTION (#001)
// UNBOXING
(Click the thumbnails to see the full size image)
The box itself:
A very simple, blue box. Shows the Chuwi logo, processor specifications, and model specifications. Not much else to it.
Inside the Box:
Doesn't come with much. Just the tablet, 1x charger plug, 1x micro-USB cable, and manual/warranty documents.
// TABLET GALLERY AND DIMENSIONS
The device itself is 18.8 x 10.8 x 1.0 cm / 7.39 x 4.24 x 0.39 inches, making it a not-so-thin device to work with.
Front:____________________Back:____________________Top:
Bottom:____________________Left:____________________Right:
// DEVICE
Starting up:
The tablet takes over 60 SECONDS to boot. I feel that this is very long, but keep in mind this is only a $60 device.
The device comes set to Chinese out of the box. Click the globe icon near the bottom of settings and then the very first option to change your language.
System information shows the device does indeed run Android 5.1.1
The device supports SD cards and you WILL need one. Out of the 8GB in the device, only 3.55GB is available to the user. The low available space is from me installing many apps, do not be alarmed.
2. PERFORMANCE (#002)
// SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS AND BENCHMARKS
CPU: SoFIA AtomX3 C3230 64 bit Quad core 1.2GHz
GPU: Mali-450MP
Storage/RAM: 1GB RAM + 8GB ROM
System: Android 5.1.1
Display: 1024x600 7.0" IPS
USB-OTG: Enabled
Bluetooth 4.0
TF/SD card: Up to 64GB (not included)
This device scores VERY high considering the $60 price tag. Performance wise, it heavily outclasses many Snapdragon 410 handsets and tablets, including the Moto E and Moto G 2015. Internet speeds are fast and stable, ensuring fast app downloads and system updates. Graphics scores show that the device can handle many recent high end Android games and emulators. They may not run perfectly, as this is still a low end device, but they are definitely all playable. From the 3DMark chart, you can see that the temperature of the device barely increases. I can confirm this, as playing intensive games does warm the Vi7, but it is almost unnoticeable, and certainly is nothing to be worried about.
3. SCREEN (#003)
The screen is 7", however, it only has a resolution of 1024x600. The colors are slightly inaccurate in the greens and reds, which is okay. But there is very visible pixelation in the overall screen quality, especially in text, when compared to higher end devices. You can even see it in the picture above. Here is a link to the full unedited image: http://postimg.org/image/hb4i0l677/​
Testing the RGB accuracy of 4 devices, including the (From top to bottom) Chuwi Vi7, NVIDIA Shield Tablet(Native screen preset), iPod Touch 5th generation, and Droid DNA(Super LCD3) you can see the screen quality of all devices.
Red:
Blue:
Green:
As you can see, for reds, the Chuwi V7 produces a very burgundy color, is very accurate for blue, but for green it has a yellowish tent.
Outdoors, the tablet does surprisingly well, being able to view in very direct sunlight, while the viewing angles are questionable, it still produces a well enough image for one user.
4. BATTERY (#004)
The battery in this device is 2500 mAh, which is very small for a tablet with 3G. I work a 7 hour shift with my job, and this tablet could not survive from 10AM to 5PM. (10:00 - 17:00). Even worse, the battery reading seems to be broken on my device, I charged the device overnight and the battery app for Android reports the usage incorrectly.
Throughout my shift, I browsed the web, chatted on Kik, Skype, and Steam and played around 20 minutes of Implosion. Upon the end of my shift, I attempted to unlock my tablet only to find the battery dead.
Unfortunately, charging the tablet is a problem too.
It took over 2 hours to charge the tablet from 0% to 100% while it was powered off. The tablet does not support Fast Charging.
5. CAMERA (#005)
The tablet sports two cameras, one primary 2MP camera and a secondary 0.3MP camera. I took of a corner of my desktop with 5 different devices(Droid DNA, iPod Touch 5th Generation, 12.1 MP Fujifilm Camera, Chuwi Vi7, LG Tribute, NVIDIA Shield Tablet). The main purpose of this device is not the camera, so view the images for your interest. (Click the thumbnails to see the full size image)
Fujifilm:
Droid DNA:
iPod Touch:
Chuwi Vi7:
LG Tribute:
NVIDIA Shield Tablet:
The camera is of course the worst of them all, it lacks any type of focus, the UI is very stock, and it has no flash, however, this is only a $60 tablet, and the camera makes this a very feature filled device, especially since there is also a front facing.
// FINAL VERDICT: 8/10 (#006)
+Very strong performance at a price point of $60
+Plenty of features for an entry level phablet
+Runs the latest version of Android to date
-Questionable battery life
-Lackluster camera
Who would buy this?: Consumers looking to step into the tablet world of Android and on a very low budget. While this device does have many pros and also many cons, it is still EXTREMELY feature filled for its price and I would recommend this to anyone on a budget. This device beats Amazon's new Fire 7" tablet in every category: Camera, OS(Android 5.1.1 vs Fire OS), screen, audio, and storage. For only $60, you are getting a lot.
If you have any questions about the tablet or would like to see something added to the review, leave a reply!​

Update: Added new unboxing images

How did you managed to install so many apps ?! Can you still update the apps you installed ?
I'm asking this because I was in the position of hard-reseting my tablet several times, because couldn't even update my apps...
Every time I start using the tablet, after each reset, an update of the Play Google AppStore is made and this gets much of the available space. As the main purpose of the tablet for me is In-Car Navigation I only installed Google Maps, Waze, Here Maps and Torque (for OBD2 car diagnostics connection). Here Maps was installed with two maps downloaded (around 500MB), but on the external/microSD partition. When I tried to update - from Play Store - any of the apps installed, I receive a 'not-enough space' message.
I tried several App2SD applications, all of them being basically shortcuts towards the Apps in Settings, with no success (no 'Move2SD' button available). I understand this is a limitation of Lollipop's OS.

Hello mircea,
Yes, there is a bug in this tablet. It will consume your storage slowly, until there is not enough space. I have to root the device, and flash it. After that, storage problem is disappear. And another problem of deep sleep (can't turn on after sleep) also resolve.

Have you tried the app Disk Usage & Storage Analyzer? It shows a file by file and folder by folder chart sorting all by file size. Maybe there you can find what is causing the problem.

Thanks for all your work !

Deep Sleep Problem
You did forget a very big problem of this tablet.
It if goes into deep sleep mode it does not get back.
This makes the tablet totally useless.
It is incredible that a product that is on the market for such a long time has such a bug.
I cannot really use it due to this bug .
that is unfortunate for my first Intel tablet.

Chuwi Vi7 Performance as a 3G Phone
Hi , great review.
I have tried using my Chuwi Vi7 as a phone a number of times. It seems okay for short phone calls, but it has crashed a few times during longer phone calls of over 10 mins. I'm not sure whether this is related to the battery getting below a certain limit, but it was most inconvenient. I also find that my connection to my mifi drops when the battery gets down below 20% capacity. Has anybody else experienced these problems ?
I find the device is great as a satnav using Google Maps or similar. Always seemed to have a good signal, and didn't seem to experience any problems with processing map data / directions fast enough from what I remember.
I cracked the digitiser on mine when I had the tablet in a side pocket and I tried to squeeze out of my car when I could not open the door properly due to a car being parked too close. Fortunately I readily found a very reasonably priced replacement digitiser on Aliexpress for just over £8. See link below :-
Sorry - link prevented by XDA Developers Site - I'm a new user. Will post link after I've sent 10 posts.
It was tricky prizing off the old digitiser - takes a lot of patience, but I managed it and my Chuwi looks brand new again. The digitiser even has a protective film ready fitted !
Another success story of mine, is that I've upgraded the battery to one that is stated to be 5500mAHrs. Most batteries are over-stated, but this battery bought for under £6 is far better than the standard 2500mAHrs battery that is fitted as standard :-
Sorry - link prevented by XDA Developers Site - I'm a new user. Will post link after I've sent 10 posts.
I was still not satisfied with that, so I drilled two small holes in the back cover, fed two wires through and strapped the old battery to the back with white insulation tape. It's quite a thin battery ,so doesn't get in the way too much. I'd sooner have better battery performance than for the device to look aesthetically pleasing to the eye
Hope this helps other Chuwi Vi7 users.
Regards, Colinalvin63

@colinalvin63: following the (visual) instructions in the video below, I managed to install a new ROM - v1.1.13 - and, apparently, the storage issue is all history; the new ROM allows apps to be moved on the MicroSD card.
https://youtu.be/-gCMNMAdV9w
What can you tell me about the dimensions of the stock battery inside the Vi7? That would help me find a suitable-size bigger battery on Aliexpress...
Thx!

Chuwi Vi7 Battery Replacement
==========================
Existing battery is 3.3 mm thick and measures 9 x 7 cm.
Max available additional thickness, 3.3 mm (pound coins on top of existing battery).
Absolute max thickness of new battery must be < 6.6 mm. Recommend 6 mm to be safe.
Max length 100 mm

Seller on Aliexpress was "ben zhang" , I think the item number must be 32305149726, because it's the only number in the items URL. I cannot paste a URL yet because I have only written a few posts.
You could also find the item by searching for "New Battery 5500mAH Li-ion Tablet" , that text appears in the title on AliExpress. It may take 3 - 4 weeks to arrive, so be patient. At under £6 it's very reasonable, though might not be quite as high a capacity as 5500mAh. I'm not sure how they test these batteries, but I think the capacity is actually approx. 4000mAh, but still a good improvement. Of course the stock battery may also be overstated at 2500mAh.
NOTE:
The Chuwi Vi7 has a little speaker holder, which gets in the way of the new battery. The speaker holder is largely redundant anyway, so I took it out. The speaker is magnetic, and sticks to the metal plate behind the battery. There's no way the battery will slip, unless the phone was given a severe shock - under such circumstances, a slipping speaker would be the least of your problems. Before putting the back cover on again, make sure you align the speaker with the speaker grill on the back cover. A stiff guitar plectrum is ideal for removing the back cover.
My Chuwi vi7 has Android 5.1.1 installed. Kernel version is 3.14.0 built Fri 24th July 2015. I can't see any ROM number like you mentioned above. What date was that build released ? When I check for a wireless update, it says my device is up to date. I have no idea whether such things would work across continents - I'm based in the U.K.

Hi Colin,
Regarding the ROM, check the description on the Youtube video - the 1st link is where you can download the ROM, the 2nd is the Flash Tool and the 3rd is a Russian forum where there's a huge topic on Chuwi Vi7 (apparently, Russians like the tablet very much).
Following the instructions in the video I was able to install the ROM and observed that I can move apps to SD card. I don't have the tablet in my possession right now, but - as you can see from the video - it's a build dated September-2015...
Regarding the battery, thank you for the intel!
From the picture below (also found on a Russian site), I found out the type of the battery as being model '337095', which translates into the following size: 33mm x 70mm x 95mm (interesting, huh?!).
I found your battery as being model '407595', no longer on stock. But found a new one. Or one slightly bigger.
Thx!
