Alternative Keyboard ported from Chuwi Vi10

hello everyone,

i've been a silent reader for long in this thread :)

i've tried alternate keyboard for cube i7 stylus. the keyboard orginally design for CHUWI VI 10

the keyboard for CHUWI VI 10 very light and fully functional with full keyboard and mouse pad. i like how the tablet would be so portable.

reference : CHUWI VI 10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3x2WUQ9H324

i try to repositioning the lugs :

__________________STEPS_______________________

1. Remove lugs cover for easier work.

Use pry tools or whatever.

View attachment 3797087

2. Cut original lugs

Use cutter

View attachment 3797088

3. Reposition the lugs

Fail to find the best position, your tablet will end up with not reading the keyboard normally.

The cube i7 lugs approximately positioned 8.5 cm from center of 5 pogo pins to center of lugs.

Use Superglue or any glue that you know strong enough to hold the lugs

View attachment 3797092

4. Clean and resize the lugs (cannot give images- sorry)

The original lugs actually bigger than cube i7's

find the optimal size (using buffer/ sandpaper) to hold and be recognized by the tablet.

5. (optional) fix the close lid - auto sleep mechanism (cannot give images- sorry)

chuwi vi 10 and cube i7 stylus have different magnet position for autosleep mechanism

Chuwi vi10 magnet slightly more center than cube i7 stylus'

you can fix this by pry the keyboard and add magnet on it (on right position)

so when the lid closed, tablet go sleep.

any follow up would be appreciated, thanks!

@arnoldsamuelc

Terima kasih for the pics!

I believe the Cube iWork 10 keyboard might work if modded this way as well. It has a swivel hinge that would provide free angling of the tablet.

HEllo,

Thursday i will get my i7 Stylus from a private seller from ebay. I want to test the use of the stylus - but delivery from china would take too long.

Which stylus (perhaps from ebay or amazon in germany) is compatible?

On the producers website they say the transflash card can be up to 32 gigabyte - is this true or will a 64 gigabyte card work?

Thanks

Hello experts!

i just received my i7 from gearbest but they sent me an i7 that someone opened before to send it back i think. win10 was already active as HK user... that seems to like candy crush. BTW. i tried to reset win10. but doing it the tablet is stacked in rebooting endlessly. i am looking for a way to reinstall win10 clean before arrive at the point to send it back since i really need it next week!

anyone? the only thing i find online is the 8.1 rom here:

cube-tablet download

and what is: Cube i7 Stylus/i7 Remix/i7 Core-M, Cube iWork8 Ultimate, Cube iwork11 Stylus Android system installation ROM (Extraction code: 734f)	is really android for i7?

thanks for support!

Download a standard Win10 ISO (there is an uploaded ISO in the 8th post, or you can use the Media Creation Tool (google it), to download the official ISO from Microsoft. Then use a tool like Rufus, to copy it to the pen drive, install it from that (you will need an USB hub and a keyboard to boot from the USB).

After the install, download and install the drivers from the 2th post, and you have a clean, Cube i7 Stylus.

Hello,

got my tablet. Got it with a fresh install of german Windows 10 Pro

Everything is fine, bur i can´t get the Thinkpad-stylus to work

in device manager there is an entry for wacom device

"coult not be startet errorcode 10"

What can i do to get it working?

Problem solved,

Wacom software uninstalled , rebooted and the stylus on the stylus works

New Question:

added a Sandisk Transflash Card with 64 Gigabyte

every few minutes the card is disconnected - than a pling and a window with the content of the drive pops out

I want to save my documents on the card - its not possible wiht disconnecting the card...

Changed the card to another with 32 gigabyte - same procedure

changed the driver from 2006 to this one

but also not perfect.

Looks like Cube has released i7 Stylus v2.0 aka i7 Book ;)

http://www.51cube.com/en/ProductShow.asp?ID=340&pageview=pro

http://techtablets.com/2016/06/cube-i7-book-specs-wireless-ac/

Newer Core m3, wifi-ac, new keyboard dock (tent mode, angle customization) and usb-c.

And it looks like the cooling is now better on stock:

http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4621954211

But still 4GB/64GB, maybe they will release 8/128 GB version I hope :D

And looks like there's no HDMI, maybe usb-c->hdmi aka MHL is supported.

http://g02.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1Ns6M...dth=960&hash=ba96ce6ce9c5bf4b3e59d3ea1c151ebf

Maybe [MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION] will be interested in this device and can perform a review? :D
[Windows 8 General] zdanee:
There is a separate DC port, so I guess USB-C charging is not implemented. I sure hope it supports MHL, a dedicated video port is a must for these kind of devices in my opinion. Should have put one of the speakers to the other side, I don't think anyone uses this tablet in portrait, especially not for watching movies. And squeezing in a full sized USB instead of the micro one would have been great. Other than that I guess the new CPU is nice but not worth changing the entire tablet, and the new dock is also great, but I'm content with my BT keyboard so still not a good enough reason to change. Now if there were a 8GB model, for around $400, it would be a different story :)

Hallo, it´s me again. I want to undervolt mey device. I downloaded "Throttlestop" from the first page of this thread.

[Windows 8 General] arnoldsamuelc:
i wonder what BT keybard do you use?
[Windows 8 General] zdanee:
This one: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hot-...1-Stylus-CUBE-i7-Stylus-10-6/32581755355.html

It's layout is similar to the original one, but the arrow keys have a better arrangement, it misses the printscreen and insert buttons, and the right Ctrl and context-menu buttons. The touchpad is bigger than on the original dock and also supports all multitouch gestures. But best thing of all is that I don't have to worry about the shaky pogo-pin connection breaking if I move the tablet. In fact I can hook up a screen, then take the keyboard to the sofa with me and use it as a remote.

I still got the problem of not being able to install a new windows on the I7.

No stick is booting up so i'm stuck and got no firmware at all installed.

I live near Milton Keynes, is there anyone nearby who could have a look at my tablet please?

Or is there an address i can send the tablet to in UK to have a look at it ?

THanks.

Solution for BT-WiFi problem

If you use BT mouse, speaker or sth in laptop mode (with keyboard dock), I have great solution for the BT issue.

You need to buy this cheap small dongle:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Mini...-Dongle-Wholesale-CSR-4-0-USB/1950632649.html

And then install CSR drivers & BT stack:

https://mega.co.nz/#F!A1AGyTLb!iJaWmxngvENpmBDEzc6jFw

You can now disable BT in Windows by tile in setting and the usb dongle will be still working.

My tablet is currently under the version :

Good case for i7 Stylus

Hello all,

I found a case for the i7 Stylus that I am pretty happy with and thought I would share it with you:

[Link deleted as I can't post links yet, apparently]

MoKo Surface RT / Surface 2 Case, Genuine Leather Slim-fit Cover Case for Microsoft Surface RT / Surface 2

Available at Amazon for 23.99 USD for the leather version or 16.99 for PU.

As it happens, the i7 Stylus is nearly identical in dimensions to the original Surface RT or Surface 2 (non Pro versions). It's pretty much perfect except for the rear camera cutout not being exactly right (MS in its infinite wisdom didn't center the rear camera on the Surface). Not a major issue for me as I won't be taking a lot of pictures with the tablet, and if I really want to it's easy enough to slip the tablet out of the case.

Due to the rounded corners of the Cube (vs. the straight ones on the Surface) the fit out of the box wasn't perfect. I heated the corners of the case up with a hair dryer and pushed them in a little bit, and now the fit is great! I am really enjoying having a multi-angle stand, which for me off-sets the additional weight, as I am no longer holding the tablet as much. Like all cases of this type, it is quite heavy, but for me it is worth it. I went for the genuine leather option, which is probably heavier. The device now has a really classy look and feel. Temps haven't changed much vs. the bare tablet, but then again I don't game and use the tablet for note-taking, browsing and light productivity.

Just thought I would share, as quality accessories for this tablet are few and far between ...

It just says that for "some reasons" that your Windows 10 is not able to boot up. However, for "what reasons?", it will take a lot of skills and knowledge to find out and fix it, and this, I am sorry that I cannot describe them in few sentences. Therefore, to simplify things, and once and for all, I suggest you just re-install the whole Windows 10.

Another issue of this Cube i7 that I would like to share.

The two screws inside holding the pogo-pin connector were loose, and the original Cube I7 docking keyboard is totally not working (keypad, and USB hub). So, see the picture (Sorry, I am unable to post a picture) , I put a sheet of plastic film (0.xx mm thick) into the cavity (the side close to the display) holding the connector such that the connector did not have any space to move around.. Now the keyboard is working again.

Was your tablet also under the Bios "American Megatrends Inc. 5.011, 25/08/2015, SMBios 2.8" too when you installed Bios 6.1?

From what I heard there was 2 types of Bios installed in the cube styluses, "Megatrends" and I forgot the other one.

Going from megatrends to another type of Bios bricked the tablet for many users. Unless I didn't understand it correctly.

Hi,

Get the DC 5.5mm x 2.1mm barrel converter to 3.5mm x 1.3mm

I've been searching ebay for a lot of time and I'm not sure this will work

Let's assume:

I have the tablet's charging brick.

I connect it to this 1.35 male to 2.1 female adapter.

I just got my i7 Stylus back from warranty (I doubt anyone remembers at this stage, but it was shipped to Dealsmachine in March). Four months later and $60 less in my pocket, I have a brand new replacement with full warranty.

Vs. my older one (mfg date Sept 2015 vs Mar 2016), the new one has a better glass (doesn't bond with the panel when you rest your hand on it and press the stylus), seemingly improved thermals (the skin gets substantially hotter and the processor runs cooler), but I'll confirm that once I crack it open to mount my copper heatspreader and the improved wireless aerial. It also comes with a 12V2A wall adapter instead of the older 12V2.5A (that thankfully I kept)

What I do have to say is that if you expect any kind of support, avoid Dealsmachine. I have exchanged over thirty emails in these 4 months to get my tablet repaired and had to provide proof of postage twice as they seemingly 'lost the tablet I shipped' until I showed them clearly that the tablet was shipped (at which point it automagically appeared in their warehouse). On top of that once they agreed to send a new one (as Cube took twice the time they quoted to fix it), I was asked to pay $40 for them to ship a new one as my tablet was 2 weeks out of the three months warranty that Dealsmachine provide.

All in all. AVOID DEALSMACHINE.

My price was about 6 $ - here on above link, there is huge price, but this adapter is very functional. I use many 12V charging bricks - also from LED lighting.

Standard charging jack is put straight to tablet. It takes some space, it's not always comfortable. This angled adapters solve this problem.
