[MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION], you mention the new display driver supports calibration persistence. Is this a global fix or did you use any method to 'inject' the profile? Unfortunately my panel is notably different to yours, but since I don't have access to a proper calibration tool I am forced to use .icc profiles. Are you aware of any limitations for this?

At any rate, that is seriously cool as my display has a rather strong green tint that annoys me considerably when I look down to the tablet after having been working on my main display (calibrated for photography work).

On a side note, I made a heatspreader. It's a bit different to yours, and it uses the case as a heatsink.

The base material is 1.2mm copper sheet. There is a fair bit more of involvement than in yours, so unless whoever attempts it has time and tools, your solution may be more suitable.

My apologies that I didn't take a picture of the other side (idiot me remembered I hadn't taken photos once it was all closed).

The area where the die is, I milled down .4mm or so with a dremel and tinned it. Then I cut another piece of sheet (same 1.2mm thickness) of the same size as the processor die and I soldered it into the milled down area for best thermal transfer.

A 1mm thermal pad sits squeezed between the memory chips and the heatspreader.

The areas marked in red have thermal pads on them, in direct contact with the case.

So far so good, seems to turbo for much longer and it runs so much cooler it's unbelievable. 1080p Youtube it stayed at 43 degrees tops, turboing most of the time. This is in contrast to repeaetdly hitting the thermal throttle threshold with the stock heatsink.

My keyboard dock also started behaving weird and some of the keys stopped working. I was going to order another dock so I thought why not take it apart and try to fix it. Taking it apart turned out to be quite a job, as the base metal (plus the extra metal for weight) and the rest of the body is held by very strong tape.

To fix it, I first tried re-seating some of the (half seated) ribbon cables, but it didn't work. So, I tried something weird, I took the keyboard apart and heated its under side with a heat gun (this method has worked for me earlier while fixing my Dell) and lo and behold all the keys are working fine now. This method may not work for others and also as it is held by lots of tape, so think before disassembling.

I have taken some pics (phone quality) to aid others.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
The driver just adds the calibration profile to the windows color management.
[Windows 8 General] Artikbot:
I see.

They must have changed the way W10 handles calibration profiles then, because the rotation used to be broken.
[Windows 8 General] murakh:
I have also been looking at the Romoss eUSB 10400mAh powerbank, it certainly looks ideal however it seems it may be no longer produced and they are now hard to find (or hard to find at a believable price). Also not clear to me was what cables are necessary as that powerbank can output up to 20V. If you get that figured out then as long as it has one of the standard 5.5mm plugs just get an adapter. If I find one at a good price I will probably get one and report back here.

The RAVPower 23000mAh Portable Charger Power Bank looks nice, although I suspect it will fall foul of all the new aircraft regulations and wouldnt be allowed onboard, and since flying is one of the reasons I most need a powerbank this may be lost on the first attempt at using it.

Hi,

I've been running Android-x86 builds on my tablet and the touch isn't working.. After some work I found this error

i2c_hid i2c-FTSC1000:00: hid_descr_cmd failed

When I Googled, it lead me to this thread as some of the people had the same issue here, the i2c-hid module on my tablet doesn't support the drivers for the Touchscreen maybe... I'd really appreciate it if somebody could post the i2c-hid.ko kernel module from your device here so I can test it
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
Yes, it means (more or less) that the driver is already installed.

I found some information on this sites: http://phmsa.dot.gov/safetravel/definitions https://www.casa.gov.au/batterysafety

It seems that generally everything under 100Wh should be unproblematic, the 23Ah from the RAVPower are probably stored in 3.7V cells.

23Ah * 3.7V = 85.1Wh
[Windows 8 General] ericlaw02:
Hey [MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION], I'm wondering how did you dump and modify the BIOS to change the Wacom identifier?

The reason I'm asking is because I have a iWork 11 tablet on hand and the Wacom drivers are a bit wonky (palm rejection does not work at all), and I'm thinking performing the same mod to use another set of drivers might help.
[Windows 8 General] zdanee:
Hi, guys! Do you think this dock would work with the Cube i7 Stylus? The pogo-pin connector seems to be the same size (and I suppose both are regular USB, so most likely compatible), the width is almost the same too.

PS: (Can't post URL's so: goo.gl / cm4YvV )

PS2: (Can't insert images either. Daymn. goo.gl / yVXZoR )
[Windows 8 General] oeriel:
This dock will not work with Cube i7 Stylus, because of this two silver tabs. They go inside to target device. If you broke it or cut... then there is a question:

Will it work then with Ci7 Stylus or any other keyboard which have same pin size and connection?

On some keyboards are also:

Gnd | Gnd | Data+ | Data- | +5V
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Possibly using these tools???

I'd agree that it's probably not compatible, could the power/data pins be remapped/resoldered though? - making any pogo keyboard compatible.
[Windows 8 General] tprata:
Well my Linux endeavor finished earlier than I wanted. Arch installed and run awesome, super fluid, and windows can only dream of the same response time. However, touch didn't really worked. I had to reload i2c_hid just for it to respond, and gnome's touch keyboard detected an awesome 1 key/second.

I had the same error when I installed linux on it. It worked after I reloaded the kernel module.

It would be simple to create a script to do this on login, but multitouch was intermittent as well, so for me linux is still only fully usable when combined with keyboard and mouse (on my limited experience).

Back on windows again, the last update installed all ok, now I have an unknown device without driver, and auto screen rotation isn't working, but eventually I'll look into that.

(Nevermind about the driverpack, redownload solved most problems)

Bluestacks 2.0 is out.

http://www.bluestacks.com/

Has anyone tried it and compared it to the other emulators?
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
It is stored in the ACPI table; "quick and dirty" guide:

Download ACPI Binary Tools

Download UEFITool

Open UEFITool, load the Bios and search (at Text; untick unicode) for WCOM.

ASCII text "WCOM" found in Raw section at offset 149CAh

Extract the Raw section with "Extract body...", save it as dsdt.raw and copy it into to the ACPI tools directory (more specifically just iasl.exe is needed).

Open a command shell:

iasl dsdt.raw

Open dsdt.dsl with a text editor, search for WCOM and modify the hardware id.

Back at the command shell:

iasl dsdt.dsl

Now mark the same Raw section in UEFITool as before and use "Replace body...", open dsdt.aml and save it.

Edit:

To dump the device Bios you can use AMI AptioV, extract AfuWin32 or 64 (depending on your windows variant) and open afuwingui.exe, click on save.

I finally got my tablet delivered today.

Now, anything I should check to ensure that everything is working correctly before I re-install windows?

Also how would I tell if the windows key is genuine?
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
[MENTION=2712684]Ragingsheep[/MENTION]

Use ProduKey and save all serials shown.

My Windows 10 Pro key was separately installed (the Bios embedded key was different: Windows 10 China Edition), if you delete the pre-installed Windows you might lose your valid serial number.

Edit:

For reviewing Windows serial you can use Ultimate PID Checker
[Windows 8 General] Ragingsheep:
Running slmgr -xpr claims that it's Windows 10 Core edition. Is that right?

edit: looks like Core is just Home edition.
[Windows 8 General] WarcraftZIV:
got mine on the 11.11. sale and also got only an Windows 10 Home Edition. Product Key shows win 10 Home Key.

anyone else?

have very bad wifi connection too what should i do?
[Windows 8 General] TrippleZz:
Does someone also have trouble with the standard charger? The most time it doesn't works.. Only at specific positions..
[Windows 8 General] oeriel:
When you have key in BIOS, then ProduKey not always show you proper key. Use then tool OemKey. Here is that program.

http://www40.zippyshare.com/v/hEuiVnRN/file.html

If it will be not in BIOS, then you will see an error (Unable to open MSDM table!), so it means that ProduKey is correct.
[Windows 8 General] daniele.93:
i have the same problem. wifi is very slow :(

[Windows 8 General] eminsim:
I was about to throw the tablet out yet I found the solution thanks to you guys. Little tip, use your nail at the beginning of cracking so your tablet won't have a dent. I used a gift card to do rest. Thanks again I would like to help if anyone having issues in Turkey.
[Windows 8 General] orditeck:
Same here! Only thing that doesn't work yet for me is the orientation sensor. But did not check into it yet. Probably just a driver.

Edit: I installed driver [MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION] gave (hosted on zippyshare) for the orientation sensor and it seems inverted. If anyone has an idea. I probably just need to edit a key in the registry.
[Windows 8 General] mackcyber:
Im received my tablet today too, from Cube sale also.

First i check, its Windows 8.1 Pro activated, KMSico activated, some chinese apps and also Freshpaint, Solitaire cannot be installed.

After i reset my tablet to factory, the operating system became Windows 8.1 with Bing and cannot activated.

The Freshpaint and Solitaire still cannot install..

Who else got same problem with me ? Already contact seller, they didnt reply yet..
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
[MENTION=6269097]orditeck[/MENTION]

Use the Windows Driver 10 package on the first post, it will only install drivers that are not updated / not yet installed.

[MENTION=5196481]mackcyber[/MENTION]

Try ProduKey to read the oem windows serial and use Ultimate PID Checker to identify the appropriate windows edition.
[Windows 8 General] c0de90e7:
About AMT I am still half-half with hopes... if it does have the ability, probably won't be through wireless ( not because it is wireless but because it isn't an intel wireless chip, although the realtek one could have a small bios code to do basic comms... ) but maybe it could be via usb ( intel chipset ) and using an intel usb ethernet NIC. Maybe one day...

About your BIOS mod, yes, I kinda jumped the gun yesterday but everything is going fine. I've been using flash and other normally heat producing scenarios and it is way more bearable, still haven't checked the performance difference...

Thank you for the mods btw.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
I made another small update and further reduced the temperatures, it surely will have an impact on several benchmarks but it's also lot more comfortable in terms of heat and battery runtime.

Optimized BIOS profile

I would also recommend Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, it offers the capability to set a custom core tdp and also supports dynamic voltage regulation:

Extreme Tuning Utility

3DMark11 [Default Bios]

3DMark11 [Default Bios + Intel XTU]

3DMark11 [Bios profile V3]

3DMark11 [Bios profile V3 + Intel XTU]

3DMark11 [Bios profile V4]

3DMark11 [Bios profile V4 + Intel XTU]
[Windows 8 General] c0de90e7:
Thank you, I will flash it now, but I bet I won't notice that much until I go to some demanding flash page or some others... I wonder about things as high bitrate video ( I know it would use extensions, GPU but still... ) and, more than that, I wonder about VMWare ( I use that a lot for NT driver development... ), hoping it is not that much of a difference.

About XTU, well, yes, interesting, I may use it, but in general I want something automatic and "from factory"-like, as your BIOS mods do.
[Windows 8 General] orditeck:
Will do. Thanks. Before going to bed I have kept my tablet open and according to my power setting it went to sleep after 15 minutes and then hibernate after 180 minutes (3 hours). When waking up from hibernate, bluetooth was not working anymore. There was no more bluetooth icon in the action center. No bluetooth in Settings -> Devices. After rebooting, it came back.

Writing this, I just tried to put in hibernate mode (Power icon -> Hibernate) after activating display of this option in CP -> Power Options -> Choose what the power buttons do -> At the very bottom. When waking it up, bluetooth was still there. Don't know why it did that... I'll see if it happens again.
[Windows 8 General] mixterz:
this bluetooth driver was posted earlier by [MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION] try it

[Windows 8 General] baaldfg:
Hi there,

First, thank you all for the help :)

I did a clean Windows 10 install. Afterwards, I installed the driver package from the first page and flashed the modified bios (V3). Mostly it works fine. There are just two things I noticed:

- Sometimes it does not want to connect to an access point with a low signal. If you go directly next to the access point it will connect. Afterwards Wifi works fine. Anyone else noticed this strange behavior?

- The automatic Desktop mode/ Tablet mode switching does not work upon adding/removing of the keyboard. Is there a way to fix this?

Overall, it is quite nice to use. Especially with the modded bios (V3). Hardly slower but much cooler than before. Thanks again for that.

Best wishes,

Christian
[Windows 8 General] Boid-man:
Is the bios v3 mainly for win8? Looks like an over all upgrade, but is it creating issues for win10?

Trying to have everything completely understood before my i7 comes in. :laugh:
[Windows 8 General] sneakerdad27:
Just got my tablet

Hi everyone. I registered just to comment on this thread. Anyway, I was first considering a Surface Pro 3, however, I saw this pop up on Aliexpress and and frankly, for the money it was a no-brainer. I started to get nervous when i saw everyone's issues. I was one of the first 500 so mine came with a Stylus, and i also bought the keyboard. I haven't seen anyone here say they got their keyboard, but I haven't experienced any of the problems mentioned here. Not even the heat. I used this tablet all day yesterday. In fact, I'm typing on it now. This keyboard is better than my Asus t100, the trackpad? mmmm it's alright. It's small and it's not completely responsive initially.

The one problem I'm having is the Chinese writing when I do certain things like install new programs. Anyone know how to get rid of that? I need to install my Sonos software and it gets to a point where I can't even begin to guess what to click.

Also, one last problem I have is when I go from using the keyboard to touch screen after about 15 minutes or so, it won't register my touch unless I hold my finger there for a few seconds. It's almost like it disables for a second. I can live with that, just wondering if it was normal.

Thanks for the great thread!
[Windows 8 General] FastPete:
I had the language problem also. It made it impossible to upgrade to Windows 10. Go to Control Panel and click on Language and Region and change Format to English. Then go to Administrative and Change System Locale to English (I think it prompts a restart). Under Welcome Screen and New User Accounts, Click copy.

When I was upgrading to Windows 10, I needed to change all these settings to English (United States) or I would get a "Something Happened" error during the upgrade.

I asked about the unresponsive touch screen issue and Wootever pointed out that it was a known issue and that tapping on the windows key also makes it work again.
[Windows 8 General] orditeck:
I got the keyboard. Pictures here for the ones interested: http://imgur.com/a/j0KVP

It is very good quality. The touchpad works well (it is both touchpad & clickpad), but I won't use it, I prefer a mouse.
[Windows 8 General] sneakerdad27:
Just did it. Worked like a Muthafreakin CHARM! Ha! Many thanks Pete!

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------

Agreed. I think it's better than the Surface for two reasons... That magnet is strong as ever. I picked it up b the tablet and the keyboard was hanging on strong. AND the Stylus slot! Why couldn't Microsoft think of that? Now if I could get some backlit key action on here it would be perfect.
[Windows 8 General] MDaveUK:
Let me know if palm rejection works again in windows 10 when using the stylus, had to go back to Windows 8.1 because of that :(

For those that don't know what it means, palm rejection means you can rest your hand on the screen when you place the stylus tip near the screen. The touch screen turns off but the Wacom digitizer stays on so that you can write / draw comfortably without worrying about your hand and fingers pressing things in Windows.
[Windows 8 General] orditeck:
Yes it works, using Wacom driver on their website: http://us.wacom.com/en/feeldriver/
[Windows 8 General] MDaveUK:
Are you sure? Because that's the driver and version I installed when I tested it. Its most apparent in any paint program.

Did you do a fresh install of Win 10 or upgrade?
[Windows 8 General] orditeck:
Yes, I'm 100% sure. Tried palm rejection. Works fine for me. I just re-tested it to confirm.

I upgraded, but selected the option to keep nothing. As explained here.
[Windows 8 General] MDaveUK:
I see, I did the upgrade too. How strange! I will try again, thanks for finding out for sure.

Want to know another strange thing? I did the upgrade on my other Wacom powered Asus vivotab note 8, and the stylus worked ok, I just updated the Wacom drivers from that same link, now the stylus doesn't work?! The oddest thing though is that it does when you are in the middle of signing into windows! I will try again.

But I'm liking Windows 8.1's interface better for tablets though ...
[Windows 8 General] TrippleZz:
Is it normal that the charger plug doesn't fit completely into the port? I can't put it completely in .. And mostly it doesn't charge the device :-/
[Windows 8 General] zeetherocker:
Thank you so much buddy removing and reloading the module worked for me...

The touch is working now!
[Windows 8 General] TrippleZz:
Any tips if the device doesn't do anything? It's utterly dead.. no charging led or any other reaction if I press a button or plug in the charger.
[Windows 8 General] baxtex:
Is there anything you can do about a crappy Aliexpress seller? The keyboard I got stopped working a while back and I've had a very irretating email conversation with the seller. Now they won't respond anymore and I can't open an dispute or anything. Is there something I can do or do I just have to buy a new one? Which seller/store is the best?

My seller was VC Mall, so don't buy anything from them!
[Windows 8 General] mznk:
I had a very similar experience, my seller QH-Store sent the wrong adapter and stylus, and then my keyboard stopped working. They promised me to send a new adapter and offered a refund for the stylus in exchange for revision of my feedback to positive, but after I revised it the seller dodges all my messages regarding the adapter and the keyboard.

Your only respite is either Aliexpress dispute system or express your concern via the feedback system.

My advise is to stay away from such sellers, specially QH-Store!
[Windows 8 General] baxtex:
The problem is that it's been about 2 months since I received it and so I can't leave either feedback or open an dispute. I just completed a chat session with Aliexpress. And as the seller haven't really left any guarantee, they can't help me. The guy said he should message the store and tell to respond to mails. But yeah, who knows, it probably won't help. The most disturbing thing is that they don't respond. It would have been one thing if they just said no, we can't send you a replacement. Then I've could have spared alot of time sending messages to them and being without the keyboard and just bought a new one. I study programing in school and I can't use the tablet without the keyboard for that.
[Windows 8 General] Thompson111:
Is normal, that i have bad reporting of battery capacity?I have flashed modded bios with updated capacity and it report wear about 6%.

And its normal, that sometimes touchscreen didnt respond by 1st touch?When i touch it more, its okay than.
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
All batteries will show some wear, over 20% meets the definition of a faulty battery (that should be covered by warranty). 6% is nothing, it might change/stabilise after a few power cycles. [MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION] did you get the values for experimental5 from the bare values under the battery sticker??

The touchscreen I believe switches off or some sort of sleep mode, so thats normal. A long press or the windows button will turn it back on.
[Windows 8 General] mznk:
I can relate to your problem, it's been over 2 months for me too. My seller actually lied to me which was extremely unprofessional. I also wrote to 51cube/alldocube, they too haven't replied. It's sad to see such poor behaviour and after sales service.

I actually bought another dock when my dock started erratic behaviour and the same day I decided (as I've already ordered a new one), to dissect the dock and see its internals. Well, I actually ended up fixing it and cancelled the new order. You can check my post a few pages back maybe it can help.
[Windows 8 General] baxtex:
Interesting. I just opend my keyboard and all the suddenly it worked again. It's obviously some kind of loose connection, either in a cable or soldering. I looked at all the wireing with a magnifying glass, but I couldn't see anyhting. It wouldn't suprise me if it stopped working tomorrow again. I will check out your post.
[Windows 8 General] Ragingsheep:
So I don't seem to be able to get any pressure sensitivity using my pen.

Did you buy using a credit or debit card? Then call your bank and do a chargeback.
[Windows 8 General] zdanee:
I still haven't received mine, bought from Aliexpress, store is So_Cube. I hope nobody have bad experience with them, because honestly after all these stories I start to question my decision. This will be my main machine for the next 3 years... if it lasts as much...
[Windows 8 General] tsytsman:
In the pictures you can see 3g connector, which is not connected to anything. Is it possible to plug in GSM module from Cube i7 (not stylus) or any similar models?
[Windows 8 General] :
Has anyone bought the pen from So cube and does pressure sensitivity work with it?
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
About the Bluetooth Code 43 issue; it is most likely the same problem as described here which is unfortunately still present on Windows 10.

For now i made a simple workaround script which re-activates bluetooth after EventID 17 has been recognized.

The script also includes two exe files and a scheduled task profile:

chp.exe = create hidden process is a very simple program utilising the Win32 CreateProcess API to prevent the command-line window from being shown.

devcon.exe = Device Console is a command-line tool that displays detailed information about devices on computers running Windows.

Download Bluetooth workaround

Extract the package and execute Install.cmd.
[Windows 8 General] Ragingsheep:
That looks identical to the one that my seller gave me. It's not an original Cube and as unless the one I have is broken, it doesn't have pressure sensitivity. The tip as a bit of give so you need to push down on it to write anything.

Anyways it's cheaper from here and looks the same?: http://www.dx.com/p/ocube-passive-touch-pen-stylus-for-stylus-version-cube-i7-iwork11-black-418556
