I got it and I already installed new 3.2 exp bios. [MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION] 4.5 W TDP and 1.25 ms limits are already on with this bios?

Thank you for your very hard and appreciated work
[Windows 8 General] bleeple:
has anyone tried to change the refresh rate on the cube?
[Windows 8 General] ZX_DIO:
From VC on aliexp I got 2A charger and brown Wacom me too... just scratched my screen trying that...h*** s***

I don't know if it has a lower quality than the black one...

I have to buy a glass screen protector however
[Windows 8 General] shunsai:
You sure it's not just the pre-applied screen protector that's scratched? I didn't realize the pen I got was actually brown until yesterday. But it seems perfectly fine- pressure sensitivity and the eraser function work. I don't have the black one, but I doubt there is any real difference.
[Windows 8 General] ZX_DIO:
On the screen there was the transparent film with logo on the upper right angle. Of course i removed it. I don't know if ATM there is any screen protector...i hope so. Tomorrow i will check. Also my brown pen works ok. I'm a bit disappointed for the lower power of DC adapter but i don't think that with 0.5A could be so much faster to charge.
[Windows 8 General] shunsai:
Yes, beneath the film with the logo is a second and little difficult to remove screen protector. Chances are you scratched that, not the screen.
[Windows 8 General] MatanYeho:
look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcWCp6G0Q5w

about the brown pen, if you ordered it and pay for the pen you should receive the black original pen and if the you won the pen as a gift they told us that the pen is not original so it's ok.
[Windows 8 General] oeriel:
The best way to check if there is a film, look at front camera. If there is a flat line then it could have no film. If there is a "step down" of layers around camera circle it has a film.

I had also a film under the film. First was with logo, second is a original one. Also, when I write a pen on it, it have scratches. When I mount a glass for Cube, I had to remove it and it was very difficult. Try to catch it at corners, and I've used small succion cup to lift it.

BTW: It has also a film on back. But... If I don't remove it, it will have a higher temperature? Does the film on the back does not block any cooling?
[Windows 8 General] ZX_DIO:
yes there is a little step...so there is the thin originale screen protector :D when the tempered glass will be here i will remove it. Thank you for the advice.

The brown pen is original...it's the same as shape of the black one. And comes with the 2A adapter sealed in the accessories box inside the main box...so i think they change the colour of the pen and the adapter in this stock. Also because hearing other users if you are buying it right now it will come with brown pen and 2A adapter from every shop selling it

[Windows 8 General] MatanYeho:
It's looks like black, not brown. you should open dispute for it.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
Unfortunately not yet, it would be indeed more sensible to have an TDP limited Bios which is able to unlock it's TDP restrictions on specific situations.

For now, we need to manually limit the TDP because of missing restrictions.

What about the tiny fan you posted before some pages what happened!??? Any thing new?
[Windows 8 General] mznk:
I just confirmed with official Cube support and they confirmed that brown stylus is not official Cube stylus. It's a Wacom stylus with similar functionality nevertheless.

Also they confirmed that official charger is 12V, 2.5A not 2A. I've filed a dispute on Aliexpress, seller (QH Store) has confessed that the Windows is KMS activated and charger is wrong but he's not ready to change the stylus. I'm waiting for the outcome now.

On a side note, I received everything original from ET Star store on Aliexpress besides Windows for which they refunded a good amount.

Take a look at page 97, first post. You have to flash experimental bios then using that cmd. For me it seemed to work
[Windows 8 General] majkel_94:
I also made a quick wideo playback test :D

- stock BIOS with default settings

- stock FW and drivers on Win 8.1 Pro (as it arrived 2 months ago)

- default metro video player (xbox layout)

- airplane mode on

- brigthness 45%

But I have set the power plan to "power saver" and there I have modified the settings - configure TDP to 3.5W and "Low Power Mode Setting" to "app specific".

I also charged the tablet until the green LED shows up (it's like 110% I think :P), and I start playing Big Buck Bunny. The result was...

6h and 10 minutes! :D

Tomorrow I will install fresh Win 8.1 with new drivers and experimental BIOS - maybe I will achieve 7h of video playback xD
[Windows 8 General] mib2nd:
For the life of me I cannot figure out why this keeps happening. Everytime I hit the caps lock key the function light comes on and will not go off. It is causing me to be unable to use some of the keys and only uses the keys functions as if I was holding down the function key. The only way I can get it to stop is to disconnect the tablet from the keyboard.

Does anyone know how to turn this function off? It's getting really irritating having to disconnect the tablet every time it happens.

Improved battery life with latest Wootever BIOS

Confirming significant battery life increase. About 30-40% battery life gain with light web surfing + onenote 2013 and 25% brightness on windows 10 pro. However, touch sleep hasn't been resolved. Hell of a job Wootever.

Hi folks.

I have a problem, i ve ordered the cube i7 stylus from Gearbest and after 14 days without shipping, they are telling me its not in stock and i should wait a week or two or cancel the order.

The thing is that they already sent the stylus and a cover i bought at the same time.

Im wondering if they are legit or trying to scam me... I kind of want it tho...

Are gearbest scamer? Should i ask for refund? Thanks for advices.
[Windows 8 General] ropinco:
I got mine from gearbest as well. I got the expedited shipping for free (I guess it was a promotion). The shipping was fast. The tablet is good. The only problem I had is that the windows installed in my tablet was not activated. So I asked for a license key or a partial refund and it has been 2 weeks since I'm negotiating with them to get a partial refund. My mistake is that I payed with credit card. It's better to pay with PayPal so you have the buyer protection plan. My problem would be already solved by now. So my opinion is that no, they are not scammers but their customer service is not that great.
[Windows 8 General] dodongobongo:
That video test is all well and good, but what estimate do you guys get with powercfg's battery report feature? (Open admin cmd and do powercfg /batteryreport)

Currently estimated to 4 hours 50 minutes per full charge here. I mostly use mine for browsing, video streaming and drawing.
[Windows 8 General] thelittlefireman:
hi, with new drivers, bluetooth doesn't work any more :rolleyes: . am i the only one ?

[Windows 8 General] Chaosgod27:
A user PM'd me, but I can't seem to PM him back as he probably has 0 post count. So I'm just posting it here hoping he can see it.

Hi Chris,

I would say get this tablet if it goes even cheaper, as the new Core M processors from Skylake should push this tablet price down. Or just wait for the newer ones, though you may have to wait til early next year before you can get Chinese Skylake tablets.

Most of the Atom processors have terrible eMMC memory which is terribly slow compared to the SSD on this Cube i7 Stylus and not to mention way way slower single core performance.

Sorry I have been far far too busy with my work to even be posting on wootever thread about the Cube or even modding my Cube. I noticed that he posted a new BIOS with better thermal, I actually have pretty decent thermals even without changing my thermal pads. I actually just got this tablet as a cheap alternative to the Surface, I have used many others Atom based tablets and in all my experience, they are slow and sluggish. The Cube i7 Stylus has very nice performance for what I use it for.

In short, the best settings you could do is get wootever's updated BIOS and use Intel Extreme Tuning utility, undervolt it + lower Turbo TDP if you want lowered temperatures.

Once again, I'm sorry I can't do benchmarks right now as I'm busy with work and family responsibilities. I actually haven't been using my tablet all that much, mostly on my desktop PC or my laptop. If you can wait maybe a few weeks I can probably do some benchmarks after upgrading the BIOS/drivers to the latest.

Thanks,

Kind regards,

Chaosgod27

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION], in regards to this maybe you can post some new benchmarks for this guy with the new BIOS if you haven't already done so.

I honestly don't really care about synthetics numbers but real world performance and I can honestly say that the Cube i7 Stylus has very nice performance for a fanless design. On another note, I think I used my tablet in total for like less than 10 hours since I have purchased it, sigh looking forward to the end of year breaks...
[Windows 8 General] Ogider:
I read whole thread

I am waiting for delivery to banggod to order.

Got thermalpads Arctic 0.5mm with 6.0 W / mK.

Most of the time I held the tablet in my hand.

I would like to maintain a certain balance.

Between performance and temperature.

That's why I wanted to learn about the results of the tests with the clock not exceeding 0.8.

[Windows 8 General] robinrobb:
With USB-Hub.

Uups, read to fast:

Yes, I did, with a USB-Hub - the "EasyAcc C72 Smart 7-Ports Charge and Data Hub".

A standard USB-Keybord + USB-Stick (with Win 8.1) on the ports on the backside of the Data Hub worked fine ...

(easyacc.com/522-easyacc-c72-smart-7-ports-charge-and-data-hub.html#/standard-uk_standard)
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
This antenna was disassembled from an old Fujitsu Amilo notebook and i have no sure formula for that. Look for some spare notebook antenna parts on ebay and try it out.

I'm loading the Intel Graphics driver from Mega.nz and check the average of three times downloading.

Regular speedtests seems always varying by a lot, mega is pretty reliable in terms of speed.

Strange, the touchscreen on setup isn't working for me... I'm basically stuck on the Language/Time/Currency?Keyboard region screen.

EDIT: Touchscreen didn't work for me past the Use A Device screen; fortunately, I did have access to a USB mouse, and that was pretty much all i needed to do a clean install without a keyboard (you can use the on-screen keyboard if you have a mouse to open it). Now I have a clean install with a valid Windows 8 Pro license.

One issue I am having for the moment: my screen isn't auto-rotating the orientation when I flip my tablet. So far there is no option showing on the Screen Resolution screen where it should be. Anyone else had this happen?

I decided to fresh reinstall Windows due to KMS Pico hactivated chinesee-english stock OS :P

I made a drivers backup using DoubleDriver. After fresh install I installed all the drivers - first package from post #1 but even Wi-Fi wasn't working (they are for Win10 only I guess?). After that I used drivers from my backup and later the 8.1 package from post #2... rotation, sound, wireless - everything works ok.

But I can't change cTDP in power plan option - the "Intel Dynamic Platform & Thermal" sth is missing.

I checked in device manager but it seems that the driver is there:

Hi everyone,

First of all, Wootever - Thanks for amazing work on this thread, I've read through it, dismantled, fiddled, placed back together things, flashed BIOS and changed all drivers thanks to your posts.

There is one thing though which I'd like to ask as I have not seen any response to it here although the question was asked few times:

After my clean install of 8.1 Pro, I finally ran into the unresponsive touch screen after wake bug I read about in the early pages. I didn't have this problem before the clean install. I know about the workaround to wake it by touching the Windows Home haptic feedback button, but I'm wondering if anyone ever fixed it. Does the fact that this didn't happen in the factory install imply that it was either a driver or a registry setting?

I can't try that right now because I don't have a usb keyboard to enter in the BIOS while booting.

Almost bricked my i7 Stylus

Hi all,

I almost bricked my i7 Stylus. So I thought I'd share what happened in case someone else runs into the same problem. This forum has been gold for me. Thank you so much [MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION] and the others among you who've done work or shared solutions for this tablet.

I pressed the reset button instead of the power button while I had it open to test out shielding the wfi cord. I tried the solutions suggested by Wootever to try and unbrick it, but to no avail!

I was very worried, as it started to get VERY HOT, even though it was supposed to be switched off. It was hot for maybe upto 15 minutes before I freaked out and disconnected the battery. Thankfully I did, I think this is the only thing that saved it. It had lost a huge amount of battery, maybe even 50% during that time. After letting it cool down I reconnected the battery and switched it on. Thankfully it booted up! I don't recall if I tried pressing the reset button again before booting up, I may have.

Either way, the take home message is, there is a chance that pressing the reset button incorrectly could put it into a loop. If you notice it heating up, even though it is not "on", just disconnect the battery.

No, there's no difference in the hardware.

Yes, you can update to Windows 10.

Chances are that you'll get a Windows 10 version though, so you probably won't have to upgrade.

Just beware that Chinese companies play fast and loose with software licenses, so don't be surprised to find questionably activated Windows. The machine itself though is great.
