is there storage limit for apps like 2 or 3 giga only...............

is there storage limit for apps like 2 or 3 giga only ?

would you recommend it or LG G PAD

as they almost the same price at my country

is there any chineese table better then LG G PAD
[Android General] Jupit3r:
in terms of overall quality, i think the only brand on par with LG is Huawei. But the 9X is definitely a solid slate if we are talking about performance and build quality.
[Android General] eteles:
With Onda V975M, users can enable the 2.0Ghz frequency using Trickstermod (needs root)... Can someone test it and confirm if it works with Cube Talk 9x? On V975M it resulted in +1000 points in Antutu. Other similar apps did not work... They would set the frequency, but it got back to 1.6 as soon as the screen was changed...
[Android General] Jupit3r:
i dont think it is necessary to boost the speed to 2.0GHZ...it will only do harm to the battery and cpu.
[Android General] eteles:
It won't do any harm to the CPU, since it's probably 2.0 GHz by default and the vendor just limits it to 1.6...

With the V975M, the battery consumption increase was not noticeable...

The change is easily revertable and you can always go back to stock settings... Is someone at least willing to test it? I would do it myself, but since I live in Brazil, my tab will probably take about 45 days or more to arrive...
[Android General] soulg:
My first impressions with cube talk9x 16Gb...

Battery:

After 1st charge, around 3h and when the tablet show "100% charged" I used it around 5-6h until buttery reach 0% and tablet close, with brightness at 100%, wifi, gps, auto rotate all time active. Using only radio and same time editing radio channel names, took it max 2h to go from 50% to 0% and close. The charge from 0 to 100% full charge (the 1st real charge) took around 20h continues charging. Was a shock for me as it is my first mobile device that took so long to get full charged. Sim card not installed permanently yet and maybe that draws more battery.

Camera:

It have very slow Shutter priority (Tv) and is imposible to take a nice picture to fast moving objects, as babys. The quality of a still object is fair in external photos but not that good in interior. For sure, can't replace a low badget camera. More tests in progress.

Benchmark:

With only AntutuX 5 installed and after uninstalling all Chinees apps, the device gave me score 27146. After Installing all apps I need, score was 28818. Screenshots attached.

Conectivity:

The tablet was recognized without any problems by a PC running Win7x64 as a U65GT. Same the TF card.

I use a TOSHIBA 32GB Class 10 Micro SD TF Memory Card and I didn't had any problems to insert it in the slot and be recognized by the tablet after I formated in a pc with SDFormatter.

Sim card (GR/Cosmote from my phone) had no problems to make a call, send sms and conect to internet.

NFC not supported.

Sensors:

Not have Compass, Gyro and G sensors that are standar in the most brand phones and tablets. If have them I was going to be more than happy.

GPS and A-GPS are available and working (I think a bit slow the GPS). In general had no problem to locate my position in sygic or google maps.

Apps:

Google Chrome crashing. The stock browser works fine.

ES file manager can't manage the TF card. You can view everyithing in it but you can't move or delete files or dir's. In rom everything was working fine. Stock file manager work fine and can manipulate any file in rom or tf card without problems.

Micro USB port:

Some chargers and cables, including the stock usb cable are not snaps good at least when it charges seems that have problem. When is used for data transfering and viewing the tablet i a pc, works fine without any problems. That needs further investigation.

Work flow:

Until now the tablet working very smooth, without any crashes or problems.

Display:

The well known Retina display. Simply very good in HD photos and videos!

Quility:

The tablet in white (the 16Gb comes in white color) has nothing to envy from the expensive branded ones. Value for money here is very high in my opinion.

That's it from me for the moment.
[Android General] troyww:
I threw the charger it came with out as it was junk , it weighs next to nothing . Took forever to charge and the tablet was totally unusable when it was on charge . Using a quality 2.1 A charger takes around 5 hours but it's still not very usable while charging (the screen digitiser seems a bit erratic) . EDIT: Tried 4 different cables and I've found one that works great . It was a 2m cheap arse cable from fasttech which is surprising . The original cable works fine with a couple of phones I tried so obviously the U65GT is very fussy with cables .

It's my sons tablet and he uses it to play games on where battery life is woeful . The battery was about 1.5 hours with the default 100% screen brightness . I've now put it to auto and that has doubled . Browsing the web and watching movies over wifi lasts about 4.5 hours . Once you get the 15% battery life warning you have a few minutes before it shuts down .

The GPS hasn't worked for me but I'm not that patient . I don't have a sim card installed so maybe assisted GPS helps a bit .

Chrome also doesn't work for me .

Probably the biggest annoyance is that it goes into standby when the front cover is folded around the back of the tablet . I suspect this has something to do with the magnets ? . I ordered the supposedly official cover so that seems like an epic fail to me .

The screen already has a couple of scratches so am not so sure the glass is super strong but it may just be my son who is 8 ...

Overall I'm happy with the tablet as the screen is fantastic , very few bugs , wifi streaming works well and browsing woks well but I do miss chrome . Not sure I would recommend this tablet until the have sorted the issues with battery use and chrome .
[Android General] soulg:
For sure Chrome is an issue specialy if someone use it in other devices/pc's.

For me the bigger issue is the battery life and charging.

Either I'm not sure I recommend this tablet. :(
[Android General] mirio:
Thank you for confirming my findings.
[Android General] bloommax:
Trickster does not work on this tab with the stock kernel.
[Android General] soulg:
update to my previous post

Charging

With a 5v/2A cheap charger took tablet from 68% to 100% about 2h10m.

Stock Browser

Some pages don't open right. I tried to open a weather site www.okairos.gr, screenshot bellow. With firefox no problem at all yet to open any site.

Sim

just added so I will monitor the battery life now more accurate as now tablet will not have to "search cell".
[Android General] Jupit3r:
Thanks for sharing.
[Android General] Jupit3r:
The battery life is not that bad, my unit can easily surpass 8 hours.
[Android General] soulg:
As I can see now after some days of use and with sim installed, the battery life is not that bad in my unit also.

Around 8-10 hours of normal use, web browsing, youtube, fb, chating, e-mails etc. I didn't try it thoroughly with gaming.

The problem is with charging where it needs a good charger with 2Ah output so you can have full charging time from 0-100 around 5h to 6h.
[Android General] Jupit3r:
yes, that's true.
[Android General] IanSeberg:
Hi! I have some questions, someone could help me?

I noticed the same problems, could someone tell me a type of charger that charges well? With the stock charger it is not working at all.

Also, other people noticed that there isn't a stock android kitkat? Icons are different.. Could be flashed a stock android an gapps?
[Android General] kunalraiker:
Hi All,

I am looking to buy this but which is the cheapest place to buy for Australia also what is the difference between the black and the white only cosmetic ?
[Android General] troyww:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Cube...Retina-OGS-2048x1536-16GB-ROM/1907135373.html

I'm in WA and got mine from here . Fast DHL delivery was an extra $2 from memory .

No idea of the difference between white and black , I got a white one but this seller seems to be flogging grey ones now . All the specs appear identical .
[Android General] IanSeberg:
No, the white one have a 16gb rom, the black have it with 32gb.
[Android General] eteles:
?? I think both black and white are the same and have 16 and 32 versions...
[Android General] kunalraiker:
From grey you mean the black front grey black right. Also you happy with the tablet performance

Also does the white feel plasticy and cheap or aluminium feel.
[Android General] troyww:
Your right it is white on the front and gray/silver on the back . It's in the case so I forgot it being silver on the back .

Very plasticky back , probably worth paying the extra $20 for the aluminium backed black version . I just wanted to keep it as cheap as possible .

I wonder if the black version suffers from the same epic fail as the white where the magnets in the case put it into sleep mode when the cover is folded all the way back around as you normally would do when in use .

That and the battery life are my 2 biggest gripes with this laptop .
[Android General] kunalraiker:
What was the time it took for delivery from the time you piad at Ali express. Did you get DHL.
[Android General] troyww:
1 week and yes I paid the extra for DHL . China post can be awful . DHL also has the advantage of proper tracking .
[Android General] KHSPDA:
-GPS you must installed Micro SIM card to assiste GPS.

-I use stock USB adapter but I use my 22AWG USB wire make perfect charging.

-Original flip case has magnet at bottom to activate on/off screen.

-I don't like sound from both speaker and headphone .

-I love FM radio but I need about 10 or more station saved to show on big svreen.

-If you want to use ES file Explorer >>> Default write disk is SD Card and use stock file explorer first before use ES file Explorer.

[Android General] kunalraiker:
I wanted to know if anyone has got a Black 16GB, if so then where from.
[Android General] soulg:
Sorry but can you explain in detail about how to use ES?

I have installed but I can delete, move or write anything in SD card using ES file Explorer. With stock file explorer no problem to perform any task.

Thank you.

I have a blue/black 16 GB. version coming from buyincoins.com. Use the code DISCOUNTER when checking out, choosing the 'recommender' tab, and get 5% off.

Mine was 233 and some change.

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

Do you have the older model w the RK3188? Every report I have read says the Talk 9x has a metal back, and it is dark blue in color ....almost black, and a white version of course.
[Android General] troyww:
Definitely MT8392 .

No idea how the OP was getting "Solid battery life" . My sons 2yr old Acer Iconia A500 has about twice the battery life .

The black version probably does have a metal back but the white is definitely plastic .
[Android General] BamaPanda:
The Pipo I am typing on had a pretty mediocre batt. Battery Life Repair along with Battery Calibration helped it a lot.

I wish you well.
[Android General] mikemmark:
3G in Europe

Has anyone used this model with 3G in Europe?

In some web pages I see that the 3G band is: WCDMA - 900/2000MHZ

Will this work in Europe where in most European countries it is 2100MHs from what I know?

Thank you.
[Android General] flat7:
I have used it with 3g in sweden. The cube supports 900/2100mhz 3g. It works great and does not show a roaming reminder as many other chinese phones does.
[Android General] netnoise:
In germany 3g works just fine too. Should work in hole Europe without issues.

Hello,

I bought the white one from efox for 150,00 Euro net, 15 Euro shipping to Germany. It arrvied within 8 Workdays.

Some dissapointments: no Compass, no Gyro no G sensors no infrared. The display ist not very bright, and gets dark to the edges and if i look from the sides. So using it outisde is not so funny. Also the dipslay has a metallic shimer, if i have a plain white area, it looks like metallic white (does yours too?). Also the performance is not as high as I thought. (Antutu 5 is about 29.000, somtimes the tablet stucks).

Batterylife seems to be OK. My GPS fixed very fast at first time (about 30 sec.) wihtout SIM.

I'm still waiting for my SIM so I can't say anything about 3G.

But overall its OK for the price.

Greetings
[Android General] myLG:
For 3G information: in Germany 3G Hsdpa+ with O2 is working with no problem and without any extra configuration.

Still have a metallic shiner on the screen. Plain white areas are sparkling like a car painting. I don't mean the reflection of light. It is a allover the are. So small fonts look very lacerated.

Can please anyone tell who it looks like at yours?

Thanks.
[Android General] eteles:
White areas OK here... Looks the same as my moto G LTE phone and my old V975M tab... No problem here.
[Android General] huffie:
So would the Teclast P98 3G be a better buy as compared to Cube 9X? Thanks.
[Android General] eteles:
I would stay with the Cube... Tab is really great IMO.
[Android General] Jupit3r:
I would never advise anyone to buy teclast products, they always lie about specs
[Android General] sieg01:
how can I install adobe flah player?

After installation it doesn`t work?
[Android General] huffie:
so if telcast lied about the specs.. cube lied about their specs, basically don't buy from these 2? or any other decent made in China 9.7" would you prefer?
[Android General] eteles:
I would buy Cube, as it seems to have more updates and TOP build quality... And 3G works on 850Mhz (this was tested by me, as the official specs only say WCDMA 900/2100).
[Android General] Helen Li:
of cause the Cube talk 9X is better. You can see the specific parameters on the shop: ainol-novo, the CPU, memory, camera and battery of Cube talk 9X are far more better than that of Galaz A1.

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

From the shooting samples to see the back camera of Cube Talk 9X is really good. All the pictures seems so clear and with real color.
[Android General] r2d2tm:
Hi all

I recently bought 2 tablets cube 9X ( may and july)

The audio playback seems buggy on the 2 tablets, I try many mp3 players and have some 'lag/audio bug' every 10-20seconds when listen mp3 ? this not appears on youtube or dezzer... only music file playback. Sure the mp3 are ok on many other devices (tablets, phone, tv...).

On one of my tablets, the battery gauge is stop working under (approx) 60%, it stays to 60% until the battery is empty et the tablet shut down (no alert, nothing else except shut down) when restart with cable, it say 0%

any suggestions to solve these probems ?
[Android General] Helen Li:
How long did you bought it? As long as it's not artificial damage, you can apply for replacement or repair. Electronic products usually have one year warranty.
[Android General] r2d2tm:
thx for quick answer..

I had bad experience with product return. Expensively returned and never get back on ali express... yes china...

So if no solution is found I plan to install non official firmware :

17104-Cube-Talk-9x-U65GT-ROM-based-on-Cube-s-V-1-8-firmware-of-3-September-2014

discuss stays open, is somebody can reproduce the audio problem ?
[Android General] Jupit3r:
Pls flash the official firmware
[Android General] eteles:
As I've stated so many times, the back of the white one is METAL, not plastic. I think the user who wrote that, should erase his post... It's confusing a lot if people...

Some sellers say that the difference from black and white one besides memory capacity, is the screen... Black one should have OGS screen (better quality).. But this is unconfirmed.
[Android General] Tarts5:
Thanks! Will most probably get the 16GB then :)

The possible screen difference is interesting, hadnt heard of it

Antutu Fraud!

I read online that this tablet is a fraud and cheats antutu to get outrageous scores (40k+ range) . How true is this and how does it perform in real life usage?

Also whats it with google chrome not working on this tablet? Anyone found a workaround yet?
[Android General] eteles:
The tab is great... The antutu cheat doesn't work on the latest version of antutu, so you will get the REAL score, that is about 29K.

There is a fix for Chrome... Just flash the latest Brian's (900supersport) ROM. It comes with the Chrome fix built in.
[Android General] stanlawren:
Thanks. One more thing what of updates from cube? Any OTA support?
[Android General] anan2046:
Sounds great, I want to have one too.
[Android General] eteles:
Last update was on September...
[Android General] crash_b.:
I have the 32GB black and i's a solid metal frame.

I do have another question, this tablet supports usb otg. But when i plug in a 32GB transcend usb stick through an usb otg cable, it doesn't recognize the stick. It shows a notification that an usb device was connected, but it won't show up under storage. The micro usb slot works ok.
[Android General] Audiology93:
I just received my white one today and I can tell you that its made of brushed metal not plastic. It feels really cold to the touch when left untouched in an air-conditioned room.

What is the best price for the tablet? I see the white one for $193.83 on AliExpress.
[Android General] t-ph:
Hi!

I'm planning to buy this tablet. I just want to know if it is possible to stream local avi movies with srt subtitles to tv wireless? For example can I use some miracast or ezcast dongle to receive signal from tablet? And can I do this without external router. I mean direct connect bethween tablet and cast dongle. I have tried to search answer from internet but can't found it. Thx for someones answer
[Android General] eteles:
The TAB supports miracast... At least with my LG TV it can connect directly... The only problem I see with miracast is that I can't get full screen 16:9... It only shows 4:3...

To stream avi videos from tab to TV with .srt subtitles using WiFi, I use Pixel-DMS app... It was the only app that could load the .srt files here... You just select your TV brand on subtitle setting and it will load them correctly.
[Android General] liorderei:
hi guys, i'm thinking to buy this tablet, but it depends on a few things maybe you could help:

can this tablet be rooted with no problem?

we know android lolipop is coming up? does talk cube will deliver it an update?

can cm11 or the new one will be available to it?

thanks alot

Lior
[Android General] eteles:
Root -> no problem...

Android L and CM are very unlikely to happen... Only if they release sources, what is not a normal behavior for MTK or Cube or any other Chinese company...
[Android General] liorderei:
hi,

I searched their site and some people asked them about an update to the new android, and they conformed that they going to update it and publish it on their site.

I don't know how much of it is true, but that's what they said,

anyway i'm going to wait for the update to come out and we if they do update it. if they do I totally gonna buy it.
[Android General] eteles:
If they do update, it will take very long, since even with the most popular brands there's almost no device with Android L ROM...
[Android General] yungwizzy:
hi i just got this device .. please how do i root it?
[Android General] eteles:
Install 900supersport ROM from September... You can find it on freaktab.com
[Android General] yungwizzy:
i dont have a backup.. what if it bricks my tab?
[Android General] eteles:
As long as you don't mess up with preloader, you can always recover from a brick by flashing the ROM again with SP Flash tool

HI, my ordered cube 9x will arrive today :).

But, which Anutut Score can I expect from my cube?

The one device are running with 40.000 pts. in Antutu and the others are running only 27-28.000pts.

Why?

Has the 32GB Device an 2Ghz Octa Core?
[Android General] eteles:
40000 scores are from Antutu versions vulnerable to Cube cheating.

Newer Antutu versions are fixed and not vulnerable to the cheating method Cube uses... So it will give you about 29000 score. That's the real one.

GPS not working

Hello,

I've got a problem with my Cube 9x. GPS of tablet is not working at all. I tried many fixes with custom Cube ROM, nothing helped. i even flashed freaktab ROM, if it helps to do something and still the same problem. I used GPS test, used MobileUncle Tools, none of thoose can find any satellites so i do have a zero signal and cant even lock the position.

Anyone has any idea, what could be wrong?:confused:
[Android General] casca:
sorry to hear that mate. you should return it in order to exchange it or get it properly repared under warranty.
[Android General] tempdroid:
I'll answer here as well, for other users with the same problem. I had zero signal myself, this is how I fixed it:

If you're rooted, install FasterGPS first and select the region nearest to you. Restart. Install GPSTest from Play Store, select "keep screen on" in options, go outside (sky above you), activate GPS and WLAN, select "clear GPS" in app and wait for several minutes. After some time the first satellites should appear and after some more time your first fix. Afterwards it will be much better and faster.
[Android General] eteles:
Edit: This post is for Thomascz65

This procedure to fix GPS for MTK devices has been discussed all over the internet and in the XDA and Freaktab forum many and many times... I didn't suggest you yo use it only because you said you had searched for a solution and tried everything...

If this fixed your problem, it means that you haven't done the minimum amount of research on google before you asked for a solution... Or you did it very wrong.

Anyway, I'm glad you have solved your problem and I hope next time you search google before almost sending device back to China...

Battery usage with latest CPU-Z

I recently installed the latest version of CPU-Z and was very surprised that it reported my Cube Talk battery as 8,000mAh instead of the 10,000mAh which it has. Had anyone experienced this on his Cube Talk 9X?
