Wootever, few days away from thread and I'm lost 0:)

Please:

1. Can you tell me what is difference with this new BIOS (experimental 4) to the temperature and other versions (in few words, I've seen mods on link). Is this BIOS allow using APP like ThrottleStop or RW (I'm still on RW) "to mod it's temperature"?

2. If I flash this BIOS, can I run your command file (Install.cmd) from older packs with RW and ThrottleStop and it will be stared automatically, also after sleep?

3. Is this BIOS for everyone, who didn't make any modification INSIDE tablet? Just bought and using, not even trying to open it.

4. Updating your newest BIOS, it's necesary to flash EC Firmware or Intel Management Engine? I've never done this until bought tablet.

Thank you for your work. When I will be planning to replace SSD, I've also do a heatspreder modification as you described, but not now. Also, I really appreciate what are you doing for this tablet, for us. It's great job, huge good informations and modifications.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
Newer Bios build (08/25 -> 09/18) also various adjustments and fixes that should improve energy consumption.

And for allowing core tdp regulation via software the Bios setting "package power limit lock" needs to be disabled (the modded bios have this setting disabled by default).

I updated the ThrottleStop installer script to the current version 8.00 beta 5 created by unclewebb.

Use the Install.cmd, wait until ThrottleStop is started and then set the core tdp values at TPL -> Package Power Limits (Package Power Long to 4 or 5 and Turbo Time Limit to 1.00)

Yes, the heatspreader modifications are basically designed for allowing less aggressive thermal regulation via software.

Management Engine update is already included. EC Firmware update has caused problems on some devices, that's why it's not recommendend anymore.

Help!

Hi guys i istalled a new ssd on the cube i7 and now i'm blocked in the efi shell. How can i boot in the usb so i can istall windows 10 that i have prepared?thanks!!

Try if one of the following commands is working for you:

fs0:\efi\boot\bootx64
fs1:\efi\boot\bootx64
fs2:\efi\boot\bootx64
fs3:\efi\boot\bootx64
fs4:\efi\boot\bootx64

Sorry but you have to specifically compile a driver for the kernel that you are using or it may not work, for example Lubuntu 15.4 uses 4.1 kernel whereas Lubuntu 15.10, uses 4.2 kernel, it is like trying to get a Windows XP driver working on Windows 10, it wont work and needs to be recompiled.

I have not been able to update the Linux install post as the forum keeps complaining about spam, but i am now using Lubuntu 15.10. I'll put my compiled 8723bu.ko on my website for you to download but as mentioned it may not work.

http://www.icsoft.com.au/support/8723bu.ko.tar.gz

I have zipped it to just in case you cant use tar

If you have correctly formatted your USB stick with windows 10, it should be seen by the BIOS on the last page to be bootable, please make sure you have also enabled compatibility mode for USB devices in the BIOS.

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

Is there a way to update the BIOS that does not require me to install Windows first? Having to install that malware would be seriously depressing. :p
[Windows 8 General] murakh:
[MENTION=7059869]st nathan[/MENTION] - Although I dont know Lubuntu well, if it comes as a LiveCD then you could either run it on a PC or within a Virtual Machine on a PC where the network works, down and compile and then copy across the .ko file. (This would probably only work for fresh installs).

Alternatively if you have a USB wifi dongle you could plug that in to the Cube so you at least have an Internet connection and then download and compile.

Lastly, and this is just a guess, couldnt you download the necessary GIT tree from the web interface, copy those files to the Cube and then compile (I would think this would be the same as git clone command) Updated: Not really possible as icsoft points out due to the pre-requisite of build-essentials. Unless this can be installed from the install disk.
[Windows 8 General] icsoft:
The main problem with copying the git clone across is, compiling requires the kernel headers and the C compiler, these have to be downloaded

sudo apt-get install build-essential

which would have to be done manually if there is no network connection, and transferred to the i7, this would not be an easy task for the average Linux noob.

I do like your suggestion of using a USB wifi dongle, but most people do not have one laying around. The best choice is a Linux VM, as you suggested if there is no other way to get a net connection.
[Windows 8 General] reggiexp:
you use DHL? thats expensive 80euro in custom duties :(

22euro i found a pen sold by 'so cube' it's not a original but does the same the seller says

but for 28euro i can buy a official pen donc know if the 6euro more is realy gonna change a thing
[Windows 8 General] Artikbot:
Got my Stylus from Dealsmachine last Thursday, and so far this is what I have observed has been improved from early messages in this thread:

-No more dodgy activations, or at least they have hidden them well this time (W10 preinstalled).

-The back isn't as easy to scratch vs earlier models. I've been rough with mine and so far it's perfect.

-No issues with the touchscreen not waking up after resume.

I did mod the wifi antenna as I was getting around 17-18Mbps actual goodput from my FTTC line, replaced it with a Samsung NP310 aerial with the cable trimmed to fit and now gets around 35Mbps, about perfect for my 40Mbps line.

My latches in the speaker side didn't break upon opening the device... They snapped closing it!!

Rather annoyed with the w10 calibration persistence bug, but eh, nothing to do with the device.

Very pleased, at £295 shipped for the tablet, keyboard and dock ?
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
The flash programming tool is also available for the efi shell, just be careful with the erase command as it seems to erase the efi shell as well. Flashrom might be also an viable option.

[MENTION=6862588]ajdeneka[/MENTION]

Small update for the layout:

should now perfectly fit in the milled backcover section:

As a general remark:

This DIY heatspreader isn't necessary to proper operate on this device, it is just a enhancement for allowing less intense thermal regulation.

Edit:

If somebody is looking for a wacom pen alternative, the Galaxy Note 3/4/5 pens are pretty cheap but still reliable. May be also possible that the s-pen tip is softer as i don't notice any scratches on the glass (all glass foils are peeled off).
[Windows 8 General] ErylFlynn:
Can you share what you did? It sounds like you swapped in another devices antennae. Might be something worth doing.
[Windows 8 General] Artikbot:
Sure!

I reused the antenna from a Samsung NP-N310 (why bother designing a flat antenna when you can reuse one that someone has already done the calculations of?), but they are used in many other devices.

The NP-Q430 also uses the same antenna, among many other Samsung laptops, and probably other brands as well.

This is how the end result looked. Apologies for the slightly blurry picture, I snapped a quick shot at 2:30AM and didn't even check how it turned out.

I'd love to link the picture, but it doesn't let me as I have less than 10 posts. Whatever.

Anyone gotten pressure sensitivity to work correctly with win10?

Can't seem to have it with mine, also tested with an external graphics tab; and got pressure in its own tool but the tab itself is just identied as a mouse in windows (no tab/pen support) and if pressure works does it work with the note styluses as well?

Fix for paired Bluetooth devices not connecting

Just wanted to post for anyone else having trouble connecting to Bluetooth. I should preface this first by saying I'm still on Windows 8.1, so I don't know if this applies or is even necessary for Windows 10. Also I use my bluetooth for transferring files between devices. It seems it doesn't require a 'Connected' status to do this. This method seems to allow connecting audio as well.

The problem I was having was that even though the devices showed up as 'Paired', they never connected. Even after uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, deleting and re-adding the device, the result was the same. Every now and then, it would briefly show 'Connected' and a progress bar as if it was setting up the connection, but it would always revert back to 'Paired' status.

Instead of using the PC Settings > PC and devices > Bluetooth setting,

1) Simply click the BT logo in the taskbar

2) Select 'Join a Personal Area Network' from its context menu. This should bring up the Devices and Printers window where the paired device icon should be showing (in my case, my Galaxy Note II).

3) Double-click on that icon to bring up Phone Operation and configuration window.

4) From there you can choose either to connect to listen to audio from the remote device or send files.

Sorry if this was obvious to everyone but me, but I just couldn't get Bluetooth working consistently. Hopefully this might help anyone else who may have been having similar troubles.
[Windows 8 General] ducatirider:

Cube i7 or Cube i7 Stylus?

Cube i7 have 3G - Cube i7 Stylus doesn't have.
[Windows 8 General] Artikbot:
My i7 Stylus has no trouble whatsoever with pressure sensing (assuming you mean with the stylus, of course).

I will try and extract my driver, maybe it has something different to the one available on their website?

Lubuntu driver issues

Thank you [MENTION=6915532]icsoft[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1396397]murakh[/MENTION]. I am not really particular about which version of Lubuntu I install, just need one that will let me run some tools that only linux allows. Since you have kindly shared the kernel 4.2 drivers, I will proceed to rip out the current dual boot and install the Lubuntu 15.10 for which your drivers are suited. I already tried this with openSUSE which also had the same driver issue and stumbled on this forum.

On a separate note, I cannot but admire the friendly and mutually helpful tone of all the posts on this thread. Just hope this spirit will spread to the whole world...
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
I can't tell for sure since i'm not using the stylus function in a professional manner (mostly just like as a mouse/touchpad alternative).

But the wacom digitizer seems to react on pressure with the Note S-Pen, at least with the microsoft handwriting keyboard.

Edit:

I checked the wacom controller on the different devices:

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1: Wacom W8008
Samsung Galaxy Note (1): Wacom W8501
Samsung Galaxy Note 2: Wacom W9001
Cube i7 Stylus / Surface Pro 1 & 2: Wacom W9002
Samsung Galaxy Note 3: Wacom W9010
Samsung Galaxy Note 4: Wacom W9012
Samsung Galaxy Note 5: Wacom W?

All S-Pens starting from Note 2 are compatible, Note 10.1 and 1 possibly as well.

Edit2:

Interesting article about the wacom stylus function: How Does The S Pen Work?

It is not the display that recognizes the pressure but the pen itself. You can hover over the display and check the pressure by pressing at the pen tip.
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Thanks, just trying to confirm if the issue is with the pen or with Windows 10 etc. In gimp for example it does pick up the 3 axis (for both tip and eraser ends); but there doesn't seem to be any actual activity in the program itself. Anyway I'll probably pick up a spare note stylus anyway; I guess these don't fit the keyboard slot though, do they?

I have the android emulator Memu/Microvertd working if anyone wants it (can be a it of a pain getting it from baidu) it is only 4.2.2 but seems to be running well thus far. Haven't got round to seeing if it can be rooted easily or not.

Found the xda thread for Memu; and the official site I swear that wasn't there last time I searched.

(the Cube memu is just a little different - just a few apps I think; i.e. Chinese cube store)

[MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION] thanks 4 update of heatspreader, 100x100x0.6 is still enough?

[Windows 8 General] akantic:
Is there no way to minimize ThrottleStop to tray? I guess Ill just use some 3rd party program for that but if you know a better, lighter solution, I would really appreciate it.

Please let me know if BT works for you in Lubuntu. The driver should be included in 4.2 kernel but my Kubuntu 15.10 says that I have no BT device.

Another thing that bothers me is that if I (accidentally) swipe from the top on my touchpad, it writes a "z" letter.
[Windows 8 General] murakh:
The Note (3 & 4) styli (styluses?) are much smaller than the Cube stylus (which is full pen size), so they would go into the keyboard stylus storage slot, but would be loose. My keyboard came with a "pen cap" in the slot, so if you also have this you could store a Note stylus in the slot, although it would rattle around.

Also have Memu running, which is handy for using some touch apps and seems to run fairly well, although I find the Cube heats up a lot when working in Memu so I am presuming there is some strain and battery life could be quite poor (still need to observe this for a while before I am sure)

[MENTION=6915532]icsoft[/MENTION] explained the reason for this a few posts back, it is due to embedded commands in the touchpad. Try to use 2 finger swiping to scroll and not drag from the very top, which performs a "Ctrl + z" command.
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Whats the best way to install this? Device Manager or DoubleDriver or something?

Which program have you the pressure sensing working with? I just want to make sure before contacting the seller/ removing the button to look at the potentiometer.

[MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION] just looking at the battery specs (powercfg /batteryreport) and can see a decline in full charge capacity and design capacity -- full charge decline I'd to be expected i suppose but not the 10K decline I'm seeing; full charge was 45,460 mWh and design was 43,000 mWh from manufacture (07-16) until I got it, down now to 30,902 mWh full 33,300 mWh design. just curious if this is due to bios changes or a windows update or the actual values setting in...
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
[MENTION=4056517]HypoTurtle[/MENTION]

It's an Bios intended change, original capacity is 4500mAh * 7.4V = 33.3Wh, the slightly reduced measured capacity is in order as long as the wear level is under <5%.
[Windows 8 General] javlada:
Is there any possibility to disable these events? I very often get some random "z" letters written which is annoying.
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Yea I calculated the 33,300mWh was the right value this morning (with ~7.2V being reported).

Didn't notice the 45Wh 'til now, just curious as to where the change came from so thanks for that.

As an aside, now that my battery is fully charged I have 8.4V being reported so that would work at just under 4000mAh, also wear level is 92.8% (7.2%), I know a battery isn't deemed 'faulty' until it hits 80%.

As you've opened the tab, could you see the raw numbers printed on the battery? I know they just have the Wh and V stated.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
The capacity gets updated every 100% -> 5% Windows critical shutdown. My battery changed from 8% to 5% wear level, so there is some fluctuation sometimes.

Good news for Linux fans,

Looks like rtl8723bu wireless driver has been accepted for inclusion into kernel staging:

https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/rtl819x

This means that we will probably not need to stuff around with compiling a wifi driver for much longer, It should be included in Kernel 4.4.
[Windows 8 General] icsoft:
I had a look at it, but it seems as though it is part of the hardware (firmware) for the touchpad. If it was a Synaptics touchpad the driver could alter it, but as it seems like it is a no-name brand of touchpad, maybe [MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION] knows what brand it is or anything about it. I can't even see how it connects as it is not showing up in PCI or USB devices.

pep0te> I use it only for HTML so far. I'll set up my C++ development environment soon. I don't expect it will be a problem. Of course the keyboard is small and thus not ideal for a lot of typing but as a highly portable solution it works great. The speed is very good.
[Windows 8 General] TMSxXDA:
It will be ok in compiling, but 4G ram is not enough for modern IDEs like eclipse or VS, it will be not very responsive.
[Windows 8 General] pep0te:
Thanks for reply. So you think it would be better something with 8G min, like a Surface Pro, for example.
[Windows 8 General] javlada:
I think it also depends if you want to use Linux or Windows. In Kubuntu after the system start it only uses 700MB of RAM and it is not the lightest Linux DE. Windows needs more RAM.
[Windows 8 General] pep0te:
Well I usually use Windows so maybe it could be a bit limited...
[Windows 8 General] TMSxXDA:
Yes, as javlada said, on windows it will be a pain, unless you are brave enough to update the Ram by yourself, there are some guys did that in this forum, check it out, still it my be cheaper than buying 800$ surface pro 3 with 8 Gb.
[Windows 8 General] pep0te:
I see in OP post pictures that RAM is not easily accessible to DIY. I think I won't buy it, though looks good :confused:
[Windows 8 General] meandu229:
I use my stylus for developing in VS 2015, works fine and is decently responsive. I only have 2 projects in my solution though so its quite small. Still nice to be able to just grab it and code a bit while out and about.
[Windows 8 General] pep0te:
It sounds great. Did you test Eclipse/IntelliJ?
[Windows 8 General] rilot:
I wish they could be turned off too. I've tried dumping all sorts of touchpad drivers on it to see if any of them would take but no. It seems that it's a generic touchpad. Windows doesn't even see it as an advanced touchpad because you don't get the touchpad options in mouse & touchpad settings.

[Windows 8 General] KamaL:
Hello everyone. I'm considering to buy the device now that the price on Aliexpress is pretty good. My intention is to replace my old iPad 3.

My needs are:

- general MS Office programs

- Photoshop and Lightroom CC for photo editing

- watching movies and videos - 1080p movies and Youtube videos.

My questions:

1) Display - Is the display's resolution enough compared to the Retina displays and other higher resolution displays? Can you see any pixels on the screen, or is it really a good display for watching pictures and movies as I read on reviews?

I obviously wanted to chose a higher res display, but Windows isn't the best Os for handling higher resolutions.

2) Do you think the i7 stylus is capable of handling Photoshop an Lightroom CC decently, knowing that I have a powerful Dell XPS 15" for my heavy use?

3) is is suitable for watching movies on the go, even large 1080p movies and watching 1080p streaming videos?

Thanks!!
[Windows 8 General] leo06:
The DIMMs are soldered to the mainboard, so there is no way of upgrading the ram on this tablet
[Windows 8 General] yuri624:
1) I had an iPad Air 1 before. Honestly I don't see a difference. For me at least the Cube i7 Stylus' display is a great one. After all, it's the same panel as the Surface Pro 2. I don't see any pixels, but I'm not looking at it from 10cm distance or with magnifying glasses. From a normal viewing distance it looks really nice.

2) Since I don't have Lightroom I have no idea. Photoshop is beeing handled decently.

3) Limiting the CPU to 800 MHz while watching a 1080p movie in VLC (~5 mbit video and 0,4 mbit audio) it has around 50-60% cpu usage. Watching the same video as stream via Plex Media Server it uses around 30% cpu.

Yesterday I got my new Kingspec 256gb SSD. I Opend my Cube and installed it, and also changed the thermal pads for new ones with better quality and karger dimensions. My tablet doesn't get so extremely hot on one sport anymore, it's more distributed. As my backup of Windows 10 didn't seem to work, I had to reistall it. I also installed the core driver packade and like magic the rotation worked again. Finally!

Do this device have a light sensor? Just wondering beacuse it looks like one in the down right corner.
[Windows 8 General] =jon=:
I'll add a +1 to that - with the BT drivers from the driver pack, the devices showed as working in device manager under win10 but wouldn't see any devices at all. Installed the Lenovo drivers above and it all seems to work perfectly with a BT keyboard and mouse, even when wifi is on and downloading large files...
