For those who failed the window activation, you can make a call to mircosoft.
There should be microsoft activation hotline in your country.
Mircosoft will ask for your key and give you a new code which should be okay for you to activate the window.

Thanks trebor for the comprehensive info. I am going to do the same with some copper and thermal pad to keep my X8 cool. I have a 3mm copper sheet, 100mm x 50mm. Can you let me know what width thermal conductive pad you used to ensure good contact?

Cheers!

[trebor]

I covered the main middle of the Base Plate
about 75 mm x 40 mm.
Same size as your cooper sheet should be fine. as Thermal Pad is 100 x 100 cut it in half.

Does anyone know why there would be 14 RAW partitions when I access the drive in Windows Disk Manager?

[trebor]

I think you will find that is Android part of the drive.

trebor,
Thank you for the info! That just seems very odd for that MANY RAW partitions.
I am still trying to decide if I am going to keep KitKat on it or not.
It is upgrading to Windows 10 now.
Did you keep it stock or upgrade to 10?

Have a bit of a look http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...-dual-boot-box

I thank you much!

[kryptonyte]

Thanks trebor. Perhaps I didn't ask clearly, what thickness was the thermal pad you used (not the width/height)?

I covered the main middle of the Base Plate
about 75 mm x 40 mm.
Same size as your cooper sheet should be fine. as Thermal Pad is 100 x 100 cut it in half.




Cheers

[trebor]

No worries thickness yes, 5mm

I just unboxed my Pipo x8 this afternoon. The idea i wanted to do is use this as a streaming box for my 55' Samsung TV. I wanted to set it so my twin 6 year olds could use the touch screen feature and click movies, vidoes etc but they play on the TV. I was using the Mirroring feature, but getting the resolutions to be accurate for each display was a challenge. How ever the touch screen does not work now. It my idea possible?

[trebor]

Try extended mode, both screens will have full resolution...
Make tablet the Default screen start the movie/video on tablet then drag to the big screen.
Cheers
