Looks beautiful :) Cant wait to see some tests about the heat transfer and how much cooler the tablet gets. I really want to do that too, trying to find some copper plates and foil and someone who can cut me the plate like the stock aluminium looks =)

Edit: I opened up the keyboard now and everything seems ok from the inside :( Can anyone whoelse got the keyboard test the touchpad for me if the upper part is also clickable? For me it seems to be only clickable at the bottom and likely in the middle of it but not on the top position of the touchpad.

Another question: If there is any chance to exchange the USB2.0 Hub from the Keyboard to a USB3 one?

made some pictures again: http://imgur.com/a/fk25Y and on the third pic you see the touchpad. and where the cable sits its not clickable, maybe bad design choices...
[Windows 8 General] rilot:
The clickpad is not clickable at the top, near the keyboard. This is because it's a cheap, pivoting design. All clickpads suffer from this to some extent with Apple ones being the best on the market by miles.

Not sure about replacing the hub with USB3 as it would require the contacts on the bottom of the tablet to be also presenting USB3 which I think they do not. The contact on the bottom seem to be an extension of the internal USB2 hub that the WiFi controller is attached to. If you wiggle the tablet when disconnecting it from the keyboard or disconnect and re-connect really fazst, you will see your WiFi drop out. This is because it's on the same hub.
[Windows 8 General] Tyrant82:
Thanks for the clarification about the clickpad, thats a really bad design then :(

I had some wifi drop outs too but never thought about its from the keyboard.. so thats the reason when i transfer some data via WLAN and i move the mouse that is attached wireless with a usb reciever on the usb hub the transfer gets really slow and some times it stops it too, and when i release the mouse the transfer speed goes up again .. lol

Made a quick video about my touchpad issue, my first uploaded youtube video :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3ouIeUAnOY
[Windows 8 General] forcuby:
I still have that issue....

I have tried to solve that problem such a long time, and finally I got some hint for that issue.

See, I create new MS account, which has never been used, and logged on my device with that account, Fresh Paint app could be installed.

However, since I want to share the files in the Onedrive of my old account in multiple devices, I logged on with the old account to the tablet, same issue occured.

So, I assume that this issue is related to sharing MS accounts in multiple devices.

Before that assuming, I found the user folder of old account had strange name, like "forcub_000", and fixed the name, but problem was not solved.

What about your case? Are you using an account which shares with other devices?

Hi have the same problem. I restored OS, it seems an w8.1 bing wothout key, but it didn T work. :(
[Windows 8 General] forcuby:
Restoring didn't help my case, either.

I tried same procedure on my labtop, same thing happened.

I am so tired of seeking a solution...
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
It already works very well, core turbo temperatures peaks at 75°C; with throttled 6W TDP at around 60-65°C.

But most importantly the back cover gets just mediocre warm, it's bearable even if i put my hand direct under the cpu hotspot.

Edit:

Added a slighter larger copper plate:

Cube is very resistant to my open dispute -- we've been going back and forth for days. I've been trying to get a partial refund to pay for Windows, Cube has been arguing little more than "can send back." I've clarified that I don't want to send it back AND that I don't feel comfortable sending it back due to how much Cube has lied to me about its Windows installation, which Microsoft has confirmed to me is sourced from a completely blocked license key. Today, Cube responded to the dispute with this, emphasis mine, spelling goofs his:

Cube's argument has become "We never said it wasn't a counterfeit version of Windows, so it's okay that it is. " Cube also attached the following image, highlighting the language support on its product description for some reason:

[IMG="Cubestore Counterargument"]http://g03.a.alicdn.com/kf/UT8woaYXwVXXXagOFbX7.jpg[/IMG]

I've escalated the case, but I don't have high hopes. Technically he has offered an "acceptable" solution, a refund plus $15 to pay for shipping -- but I don't wish to return it. The hardware is good and I've already put several hours and some of my own money into making this product work for me. It's also a kind of a matter of principal to me. I know I shouldn't have expected more (or so everybody tells me), but I'd like to get what the product description told me I was getting without paying more out of my own pocket. Sure, maybe it didn't say "legal version of Windows 8" but if it says it comes with Windows 8, it's only reasonable to assume it means a legal version of Windows.

I kind of want this to be over, though. I don't like being very insistent or assertive, and I'm starting to feel like a real asshole. I know I'm technically in the right, but I also know by demanding what was promised to me, I'm probably hurting this poor guy's bottom line. I'm also pissing him off, and he has my address. The paranoid part of my brain doesn't like that.

Thoughts? Has anybody else had any success getting a partial refund or progress on a dispute?

Also, I'm a writer for Engadget and I was thinking about doing a short non-review (personal use case experience, we tag them as IRL) on the Cube, and I'm not sure if I should include these troubles or not. Thoughts?
[Windows 8 General] alessandro1980:
I'm having the same problems, I suggest that all the unsatisfied cube unite their efforts to spread worldwide how illegally did Cube treat us! I'M already doing it by giving bad comments on the Cube official facebook page, having the opportunity to do it on a well-known hardware site as endanger would be great! At least cube won't be able to cheat other users

Well, i guess the problem is that laws in china ≠ laws in western countries, so from their standpoint they did everything right.

Of course you won't succeed outside of china with this practice, not even spending a cheap bing serial is rather... unfavourable.

I still got my single language serial, if you don't mind re-installing windows 8.1 single language edition and windows 10 you can have it.
[Windows 8 General] supercilious:
I wasn't able to fix this so I used a SOIC clip with an external flash programmer (AutoElectric MiniPro TL866A) to wipe my BIOS chip and flash my BIOS to the original version and then upgraded THAT to an earlier version by wootever. I found that 5.2 works perfectly, and I just changed some of the settings in the BIOS manually to match the newer versions following the descriptions in the changelog. Now my tablet does not drain the battery any more and works perfectly.

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 PM ----------

This happened to me when I flashed my BIOS using the unbrick method. Just disconnect the battery and wait a while. I don't know why that works, I can only guess that there are some capacitors that need to be drained completely before you re-connect the battery. I left it overnight and when I re-connected the battery in the morning, everything was working fine. You will lose all the BIOS settings and date/time etc, but you can set re-set those.
[Windows 8 General] godzebu:
I had the same issue.

The seller (grarbest) ended up giving me $80 store credit.

I argued based on the fact the seller claimed to have sold me a 'genuine window' and since I cannot activate it, he owe me what it would cost me to activate it. The best price I found was $80.

So (after many back and forth conversations) we settled on store credit.
[Windows 8 General] gbru2505:
I bought mine from Gearbest; an i8-L. Mine upgraded fine.
[Windows 8 General] 11zeno11:
I've tried to install Windows insider preview. Now I have the 14332 version(fast ring). It works very nice, and it seems to have fixed the touch sleeping problem. Also in the changelog it's mentioned some improvements to Connected Standby*feature that may have done the trick for our cube. If someone wants to try..

The Battery fuel gauge works independently and it will re-calculate it's capacity on every full charge cycle.

Try to monitor the Battery voltage, a full charge should end on 8.4V, a critical shutdown is at 7.2V.

battery replace

can i use thís m.aliexpress.com/item-desc/1536266414.html to replace battery
[Windows 8 General] NGP:
My seller (aliexpress) has sent me the actual product key...
[Windows 8 General] KamaL:
Nice.

Can anyone else confirm this? When will we get this update when I'm not using the Insider preview version of Windows 10?
[Windows 8 General] vgiozo:
After just one week of minimal use and 4-5 charges I see there is a considerable battery wear percentage of 7.3%.

Initial battery capacity was 43790 and now it is 39860 mWh.

Has anyone witnessed this before?

Should I request a replacement?
[Windows 8 General] hoangtnt:
my gpu clock alway 800 mzh , how to solve :(
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Battery values were changed in bios by Wootever to be more mathematically accurate; did you flash one of those?

Wear level isn't seen as a fault until it reaches 20% afaik. You should expect some wear even before the battery leaves the factory; at least with chemical batteries.

Try a few full charge/discharge cycles and see if it reports any difference.
[Windows 8 General] vgiozo:
Thank you for your reply.

No, I don't mess with custom BIOSs. I have the factory bios 5.011...is there a newer one?

I noticed this happened after an hour or two of gaming, while the battery was charging....wondering if the high temperature in the tablet contributes to this.

Are you referring to FULL DRAIN power cycles (e.g. letting the tablet run completely dry of battery then recharging) ?

This had helped me correct battery monitoring in teclast tablets suddenly losing sight of the second battery cell.

I did reset the tablet thinking it might be a software issue, but it didn't help

Dual boot options:

I've installed Ubuntu 16.04 and it's working well as a dual boot option on the tablet with Windows. The only frustration is the lack of touch control with Grub at boot and the need to have the keyboard to hand. I'm just wondering how others have dealt with this?
[Windows 8 General] ahmed1994:
Use Windows metro bootloader to boot the Ubuntu it supports touch but u must enter windows first then choose advanced startup from settings>recovery
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
There's a way to not fully boot windows.

As below keep default bootloader as WinBootMan.

Check you can boot grub from Advanced reboot ==> Use a device, as below.

Next add a 'dummy' boot entry to WBM; this will allow you to navigate to the Use a device option as above.
[Windows 8 General] ahmed1994:
Is there way that the windows let me choose to boot which device at boot directly to metro without enter windows and choose advanced startup

I mean makeing the advanced startup as default boot???

I tried with easyuefi or bcd edit to add time at boot and enabled metro but didn't work it directly boot into Windows
[Windows 8 General] obi-lan:
Anyone willing to try few Windows 10 registry key modifications to see if they improve Wifi? I tried these myself and see small improvements. Proceed at your own risk:

1. Disable hidden powersave feature from Realtek 8723B:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000

Change value: "bLeisurePs" from 1 to 0. Disable/Enable adapter to make effective (or just reboot)

This seemed to improve ping latency. Cannot say how much this affects battery life.

2. Enable Bluetooth Adaptive Frequency hopping:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\bthserv\Parameters

Create DWORD value named "ChannelAvoidanceRange" with decimal value of 20 or 40. I used 20 since I use 20Mhz (HT20) channel with my home wifi. Reboot to make setting effective.

Source: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn133849(v=vs.85).aspx

This should make Bluetooth steer away from same frequency what Wifi NIC is currently using. Meaning it helps when you are using BT and WiFi same time. Ping latency seemed to improve and signal seemed to be more stable when listening music trough BT headset and using wifi same time.

Neither seemed to improve troughput, but provide more stability to WiFi. This with Cube i7 Stylus stock antenna.

Does anyone have link where I could order better antenna (Tyco?)? From Ebay and Ali I found only some bulk chinese made antennas and I'm not sure if they are any better than original Cube.
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:

bcdedit /displayorder {number_from_above} /addlast

[Windows 8 General] aoesp3:
He says

"PowerElectronicsBlog

+Digitally-Devious Yes, very much so actually. The paste combined with a slightly higher allowable temperature in the BIOS allows the tablet to stay at 1.8GHz at 2 cores indefinitely (i.e. only 10% under the maximum turbo frequency). That's about 35% faster than the stock settings and paste (it only runs at 1.33GHz stock). Big difference.﻿ "

Maybe you have to change your privacy setting in windows settings app for camera. I haven't any problem in windows 10 for camera,

Has anyone found an Original Battery Replacement for this tablet?
[Windows 8 General] gbru2505:
Many thanks. I've run this in the recovery command line and the dummy option successfully appears beneath windows 10 as a boot option. How do I get this to take me to grub or Ubuntu? The dummy entry right now takes me to an error screen asking for the installation disc.
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Change defaults or choose other options ==> Choose other options ==> Use a device

Then your grub should be one of the entries, probably named UEFI OS

I tried adding grub2 entries to that first screen instead of 'Dummy' but WBM doesn't seem to like them there.

Just FYI Instead of a Dummy entry to nowhere you could add a path to memtest.efi (I have one in C:/$Windows)
[Windows 8 General] gbru2505:
"Change defaults or choose other options ==> Choose other options ==> Use a device"

I'm not on Windows Pro. I;m struggling to find these options anywhere.

I'm getting 2 choices on boot. Windows 10 or dummy. If I boot to Windows ==> reboot to Advanced startup ==> Then I have continue, Use a device, Use another operating system, Troubleshoot or Turn off. None of these take me to 'Change defaults' as far as I can see.

I'm using Windows Boot Manager.

The screen I'm taken to from the dummy option just takes me to 'Windows failed to start' black screen with 'enter' taking me back to OS selection and ESC taking me to UEFI firmware settings command line.
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
So you don't have that line at the bottom?

If so I'll have a look at my bcdedit. If you can post what is in yours
[Windows 8 General] gbru2505:
Nope. Mine has just got the Windows 10 & Dummy options, whether I have the keyboard attached or not. The rest of the screen is blank.

[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
I'll try and reproduce what you have, but possibly adding advancedoptions True to {bootmgr} [or {globalsettings} as they are inherited] would work.

wifi adaptor broken?

hi guys.

some days ago the wireless icon from win10 disappeared. At first on device manager the adapter continued to be listed.. when i tried to reinstall it disappeared.

I cant really understand if it is an hardware fault or there is something wrong on windows.

I tried to run a live version of ubuntu on it and it doesn't seems to work either, but i cannot tell if it's 'cause there are no driver or 'cause it's faulty.

Do you guys have any idea?
[Windows 8 General] simu_lacrum:
Please excuse if this question has been asked before. The search function didn't provide much help. I'd like to reinstall Windows 10 but I can't get my Cube i7 Stylus to boot from an USB stick. It always boots the preinstalled Windows and doesn't let me choose another device to boot from. The USB stick I prepared with the Media Creation Tool doesn't boot from one of the two USB port on the keyboard nor when it's connected to the USB Go cable using the built in USB 3.0 port of the tablet itself. I guess I've got to press a certain key combination at boot time to get into some kind of boot menu...?
[Windows 8 General] DrHunt:
Check out this program Rufus,

https://rufus.akeo.ie/

With a Windows 10 disk image ISO, I think, I created a USB bootable Win10 by using this option "GPT partition scheme for UEFI".

Of course, you have to setup in BIOS to boot from USB.

Wifi missing from device manager

My wlan was acting strange lately, lot of times it was connected to my router but no internet was shared (exlamation mark on the taskbar). After a few minutes went back to normal in these cases. I've decided to messing around with it, installing new drivers etc. I've downloaded some driver installer program (driver booster) and refreshed my outdated drivers. Now the wlan card is completely missing in device manager. I've tried to install new drivers, delete obsolete drivers, running sfc /scannow (wasn't able to repair), running dism (wasn't able to finish with different iso images). I've tried to update bios, revert to bios default settings, restarting in safe mode, restarting in clean mode. Lastly I've ran a complete installation with an iso downloaded from the Microsoft website with the "keep everything" option but still no success, realtek wlan is completely missing. Is my wlan card dead? I'm out of possible solutions (apart from a complete reinstall). No system restore point to revert to, I was sparing with the free space :(
