Does anyone else have this? I can connect it etc., but cant seem to get it to work with any games?
Did you go to App Assistant and set it up in there?
I tried to read some of the instructions which came with the Betop G1 in Chinese. Seems that the Betop G1 requires Huawei Game Suite version 9.xx to work.
I accidentally removed my Game Suite.
Can some kind soul please direct me to the APK for the version 9.x of Huawei game suite? I downloaded the version 8.x but it doesn't have keymapper. The version 9 seems to have keymapper.
Here's an excerpt from the manual, translated:
https://www.betop-cn.com/posts/458
Q2. After the handle is connected to the mobile phone, the rocker and other operations do not respond?
a. The Beitong G1 controller is currently only applicable to Mate and P series mobile phones of Huawei EMUI9.0 and above;
b. Please call the Huawei Mobile App Assistant mapping page to check whether the mapping settings are correct.
Are you guys using the global or Chinese 20 x?

Yes, it seems to ONLY work with SOME of the Chinese games in there. I can't even try those because I cant understand what the prompts are in those games to move forward. Guess it's going back.

Grabbed it, thank you very much. Hopefully when my pad comes it will do the job!
I have that installed (there's a newer version) but it doesn't help
What games have you tried?
Any update on this guys? I am planning to buy betop g1 for my mate 20 pro. If i can only use it on chinese apps and cannot use it for other games such as pubg, war robots etc., i will just cancel the order. It will be a complete waste of money.
Any update guys if you can use the bluetooth controller to other non chinese games? Thanks a lot.
PubG, Fortnite, etc. DEFINITELY not. There is some Chinese knockoff game of PubG in the Chinese app store, but I cant understand the prompts to get it to work. Save your money.

The other controller listed on our phone will not fit. The W1 is about 6mm from opening up wide enough to slide in. But the few games I checked seem to work.
I will just cancel ny order guys. Thanks for the heads up! Will just wait until they release english website for the betop and allow the usage english apps. Thanks

Hello every one. I downloaded and installed Zorro gps. Then about 2 mins later deleted it. The map file for the UK and Ireland and software is 770mb where as TomTom is 120mb also does not support postcode entry and when
I tried to navigate to my home address which is in a village that address or should
I say the village is not there.
So in summary very competitive price, file to large no postcode support and don’t get lost as this sat nav will not get you home or don’t live in a village. Jez

I just downloaded ZorroGPS Premium v10.4 from http://www.zorrogps.com/US/ (Jun02 version) and installed on my HTC Touch Diamond USA version. The USA-Canada map takes a little over than 3GB, with all installation steps same as those described on the website.
When launched ZorroGPS the first time, however, a warning text box falshed over in less than a second, saying something about ".. automatic configuration of GPS was not successful.. click "yes" to retry or "no" to configure manually..." ZorroGPS then closes immediately. This problem also occured in the previous May-27 version. The helpdesk has been very responsive in working for possible solutions, but so far no solution has been developed yet.
Could anybody please check and see if this occurs to your HTC Touch Diamond USA version (with original rom)? I recoverd the factory default before I installed ZorroGPS and have only Google Map installed in the application.
Above is posted in a wrong place, sorry.. Please remove
Hi Guys,is there a tv guide that works on our HDs,updated by connecting to Windows mobile,maybe the weeks programs on freeview.
Don
I'm also looking for this!
Me too, but for Bulgarian TV.
Doesn't anyone out there know of anything.It would be handy.
I am using TV-Browser.
A user called "Benne" wrote a viewer for WindowsMobile called TV-Browser Mini.
You have to install the desktopversion of TV-Browser. For the export to TV-Browser Mini you need a plugin provided by Benne.
I hope this is what you are looking for.
Best regards
here try this. I use this on my Touch Pro2 and works good, some of the menus are slightly off but still very very good. I forget where exactly I found it, I actually have been using it for almost a year on my Touch Pro and then my Imagio and now my Touch Pro2.
you could try asking the developer of OnTV

Since some weeks I'm having no a Garmin-Asus Nuevifone M10 device and I'm very happy with it. Meanwhile not only HTC devices are having a own forum on xda devs, Samsung, Sony Ericcson and LG devices are also here.
In my opinion it would be great to have a forum for Nuevifone too but if I'm the only one with a Nuevifone its of course useless.
So my question is: Are there some others with the Nuevifone and if so would it be possible to make a new forum for it?
i just brought a m10 too. but kinda hard to find forums on it. anyone can help??
yeah...pls upon a different forum for ASUS mobiles...i have asus P565 n M10
I also have a nuvifone M10 we should have a seperate forum discussion for M10
I agree
I agree with all you guys. I just bought an m10 and have been fiddling around with it and i must say i'm falling in love. We really should have our own forum. I would really like to dual boot the m10 with winmo 6.5.3 and android 2.0.1 Can anyone tell me:
1. Is it possible?
2. If so, how to go about doing it.
I want to know how to get that mapping software off the Nuvifone and onto my TP2. garmin mobile xt hasn't been updated since 2008. can still get map updates (not legally as garmin no longer supports it, but hooray for the Internet.)
edit
researched that Garmin-Asus M10. Looks like it's not available stateside and that it runs WinMo 6.5.3. That means it has sat nav software on it, and it's processor (MSM7227) looks to be a 600MHz MSM7200/7201A so I bet it can be run on the TP2. Anybody else wanna throw down on a bounty? I'm about to go post in winmo software development.
3 days of usage - M10
Hi all, I got
Asus-Garmin M10 just few days ago - it seems to be great, as all other Asus devices and plus excellent navigation and gps functions from Garmin.
I also think we must have a forum for this device.
Does anybody know how to change software in it to different language? I need to change it from Russian to English. No software on the official web site.
for my previosu device, ASUS P526 I downloaded English firmware from Asus web site, for this one - nothing on the web site.

Garmin Mapping Software
Even i've been lookin for a way to extract the map application from my GA M10, but unsuccessful so for. What i have been able to do so far is to figure out how to install original Garmin Navteq maps from another M10 and register it to my device... This was borne out of necessity as i went ahead and formatted my internal 4GB storage in USB mode and lost all map and voice guidance etc...
If anyone else has a similar problem, i will be glad to help you out.

Chuwi Vi8 Questions?
Thank you very muchfor the great review zijin_cheng
I have some questions about this great tablet, i would really appreciated if you can answer
what is the available free space in Windows and Android partitions?
Is it possible to remove Android partition and extending Windows partition?
Is there any recovery partition, if yes, how much space is allocated by recovery?
Is it possible to install windows 10 to this tablet?
Is it possible to use WIMBOOT method for more free space?

No problem!
- It started with about 7GB free on Windows, and 4GB free on Android. 13GB total is allocated to the C:\ drive on Windows, and 7GB total for the Android partition.
- At the moment no, but I'm quite sure some resourceful XDAer will figure out a way.
- Yes, its 7GB (5.43GB + 1GB)
- Yes, but I believe that it will be more difficult due to the dual boot nature of this tablet
- I'm not sure, I haven't tried. However, I followed this guide to get more free space (as I also have the Asus T100)
Thank you very much
Nice cross-post from RFD, and great review!!
The Chuwi (and most other tablets like this) use WIMBOOT, where the recovery partition *is* the OS drive, and and changes and patches get saved to the C: to preserve the installation for recovery when needed.
There have been multiple successful attempts to install Windows 10, you need an OTG adapter so you can use a USB stick and a mouse/keyboard. General consensus is it works well, but probably best to wait for a later or full release version. A Google search will find you instructions though if you're looking to
do it immediately.
As for partition removal, I haven't really seen it discussed, but I'm sure there's a utility to nuke the unwanted partitions. Though you could just order the single OS version that only comes with Windows, but that model is missing the microHDMI.
Hello everybody,
just bought this tablet with dual boot. So in case if I want to reinstall the installed windows 8.1, how can I do it? After the reinstall, will the android system still be there?
Thanks
from singleboot to dualboot?
Hi! I also have this amazingly cheap tablet but I ordered it when the dualboot was not in stock.
Now I'm wondering if it is possible to actually make my windows 8.1 table into a dualboot with android.
I have downloaded android x86 and installed it on a partition but I just cant find out how to actually make the UEFI-bios boot from it. Also since I wasnt unable to boot from usb (no matter what settings I changed in the bios) I couldn't install the android system straight off the bootable usb so i installed it on another system and copied the contents to the new partition. I imagine that it wont work even if I actually succeed to make it boot from another partition.
Has anyone tried to install android as a second OS in this tablet? Please tell me how :S
Best regards
Matthew
The HDMI out on this unit, is it strictly mirror, or does it have the ability to show two separate Desktop?

Hey man, I'm believe so, but you have to make sure you choose the correct option when you go into the "factory reset" portion of the tablet itself.

Bluetooth keyboard on Chuwi Vi8
Hi guys, This a pretty silly questions, I wonder if anybody with this tablet has bought it whit the Chinese Bluetooth keyboard, and knows whether there is any way to use ESC and function buttons that appear in blue, on the upper keys. Using Fn+ any of these keys would do whatever but ESC or F1, F2, F3 etc. For instance, key 0... Fn+0 = Volume down, but not F10.
I have searched about this on the internet but haven't got any info.
Does anybody have the same issue? It'pretty frustrating when using excel on windows 8.1. I. I have the dual boot version whatsoever.
Cheers
Very good tablet, but last week I bought a Onda V919 3G Air, otherwise, I will buy this tablet.

Hey man I haven't bought the bluetooth keyboard with the Chuwi, but I've had problems with bluetooth keyboards in general as only basic keys work such as letters, shift, not even ctrl sometimes. Did the keyboard come with any software? Try to google the brand and see if there are any drivers.
And you're using excel on your Chuwi? Props! That's difficult!

Thanks for the response!
Well, it doesn`t have a brand serial number or anything, I guess it is just generic hardware, it works very well, but anyways, maybe the ESC and Function buttons are fake.
In that case, there might be an app to reassign keys, I will check that.
And yes, using excel with chuwi, just to input lab data on the go, and analyse it with some charts, not a big deal.
I have this tablet and this is sick man its incredible that I have boot os on just one table this tablet would be perfect ithey would be with 64gb internal storage that of couse next gen will it have it . I really recommend this tablet hope some xda programer member open a tread and make custom rms and some root stuff hehehe the best 2015 130 dollar gadget XD
Decent enough for the price I paid.
Two gripes I do have, even so.
1) Screen expansion seems broken on Windows, if I turn it on, the tablet screen goes dark. Anyone managed to get both screens working at the same time?
2) It seems like USB OTG with simultaneous charging does not work - any chance to fix that?

I think the Chuwi Vi8 only supports screen mirroring, you'll need to find another piece of software
It's the USB OTG cable itself, you need one that supports both, something like this:

Blast. Just received my Nvidia Shield TV/PC 2017 16GB. It is in Chinese, only options when starting are Chinese, Taiwanese, English, then you have to register to a Chinese video company named iQiyi (I did), then it upgrades to version 6.1 (24.31.89.60) which still has all the Chinese [email protected], half of the interface is Chinese, no Google, etc.
Question:
1) Can I convert to an international version ? How ?
2) Do I need the public open source recovery image (e.g. 6.2.0) at https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-open-source or the developer one at https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-developer-os-images ?
3) Do I just follow http://developer.download.nvidia.co...ATV_2017/6.2.0/HowTo-Flash-Recovery-Image.txt ?
4) Which USB OTG is appropriate for the 2017 version ? (there is no mini USB port)
5) Can I do anything else instead (as I might have to wait for days for an USB OTG cable) ? I.e. can I connect to the Nvidia Shield from an Android smartphone and adb/fastboot from there ?
Thanks
(also, please somebody move this to https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/help )
Hi.
Isn't the Chinese version supposed to be compatible with the Nintendo wii games?
And yeah I think you should be able to flash the normal version of the fw.
Yes, it should but I went with NVS for retro gaming and media playing.
I never managed to install (through Magisk) Kali on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 smartphone (complains about busybox), so I guess my only choice is to wait for that Male-Male USB cable to arrive, then try connecting/flashing with a computer

Hi,
Can you manage to port Nintendo games to international version ?
Thx.
I have to add that connecting to NVS through USB using my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 didn't work. After a struggle, I managed to install Kali NetHunter but "adb devices" does not return anything. Due to bad weather I will have to wait for that USB cable in order to connect from my computer, that's all I can do
@A.M.A.S
I haven't bought anything from iQiyi, since my goal of purchase was not about Nintendo. The interface is localised to Chinese anyway, and the content and payment options are for Chinese users. As far as I can tell, the Chinese version is being advertised as a device to buy/play Nintendo games. And that's what early buyers seem to do (judging from most comments), but China never had a culture for Computers and games back in the day (they were banned), so it doesn't surprise me that they only care/know about Nintendo and some boring 3D FPS stuff of the new millennium. Being an old-school guy from the 80s, my heart is elsewhere.
After the USB OTG arrived I was able to flash the international image (6.2.0) from Nvidia using my Mac. I had some trouble with vendor.img (hint: it needs to be in the same directory as the fastboot command) among other things (for hardware booting to bootloader using the controller buttons it is try-and-error, the entrance to recovery menu is rather unintuitive, etc) but all is well now. The hardware performance is good, the fan is not that bad (still wish there was a fanless case), the controller and remote DO feel a bit cheapish, Android TV and its apps ARE rather limited and rough at edges. I will probably keep it.
Mind if I ask where'd you buy it from? I'm thinking of getting a chinese one for myself.
The Chinese 6.1 image is up on Nvidia's download site, if you want to give it a try. I wouldn't flash the bootloader tho'.

@batoussai
I am in China for the time being, so I bought it locally.
@zadox
I'm in the same situation like you. I tried to install the Google Apps on the chinese ROM but they keep crashing and the pop-up is annoying. So I'm ready to flash the international ROM.
Would you link me to the OTG cable? I can't seem to find the proper one on JD or Taobao.

Thanks! I succesfully updated it. With VPN directly on the router all the services work. Even though when you power on the box it still displays the chinese store logo, the rest is the international ROM. I am loving this box.
The only thing I couldn't manage to work is GeForce NOW. Heck, I think even in US it's not so easy to stream HD games. I could only get 540p at 30 fps
On the same note, I think anyone could try flashing the chinese ROM to the international box to try out those Nintendo games, but probably would need a VPN to a China server to make it work.

migmanson, how much do these boxes cost in RMB? I may need to get my mother-in-law to pick one up this week before she heads to the US.
Guys, thanks for sharing your experience. I planned to buy NVS (now I'm in China) but they (TaoBao bandits) wanted something like 1700-1800 RMB and 2 to 3 weeks for delivery and no guarantees at all, so I bought Chinese version (fair price 1499RMB, I found from private seller just unpacked for 1299RMB) - Replaced the firmware with 6.2.0 International version - all worked flawless, so - I can also confirm - no problem to upgrade Chinese version to International one. Bootloader was locked, after reinstall I lock the new one too. Thanks for that thread again!
anyone can read chinese.. try this apk i got from the firmware zip.
It's the store.. might work on non chinese shields..

will any DRM key missing?
I have both international & Chinese version running in my home.
For the Chinese one, upgraded to the latest 6.3 version firmware. Install Google firmware enabler through external USB. Then you are all set with google play store.
Having tried flashing the Chinese version with international firmware. All work but Netflix app cannot be controlled properly by remote.
Mind if I ask how you got the US version to run under Chinese net? I'm about to set up the vpn on my router because I bought the US version of Nvidia shield. What vpn are you running on your router?

Hi, I bought a US version of Nvidia shield just to avoid all the Chinese content. Problem is, I couldn't even register. I'm trying to setup a VPN on my router now through express. Can you please tell us how you flashed the router with a vpn and which brand? I'm dying to using it and this internet is just frustrating...
Also, I'm a little new to flashing software onto these drives. Can you please tell us how you installed the international version from the Chinese version or vise versa?
Thanks a lot
