Battery Drain

Battery drain when switched off is a problem for many Windows tablets. Not just the Cube.
[Windows 8 General] thealgorithm:
Check the fastboot feature somewhere in power management options as well (you may need to select advanced options and display hidden options) when disabled, shutting down, shuts down the tablet fully at the expense of taking a few seconds or so more to boot.

Wacom claibration:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2171198

I got the calibration thing to work for the first time after removing wacom drivers and it from the device manager and erasing everything saying linearity data from the registry.

Big success and it improved the pen performance a lot. After reinstalling (or rebooting) the Wacom drivers, all the progress was lost again.

Is there any help or fix to keep the data from the pre driver install and use them instead?

[MENTION=5007424]majkel_94[/MENTION] Hi! So I turned on my i7 Stylus today (passed 27 hours) and the battery level was 64% (1% loss).

Unfortunately, I do not know the exact reason why in your case battery drain was 1% per hour (if you say that you have not heard a squeak, the tablet was supposed to be turned off completely).

I think that there is a possibility that the BIOS update (or update Windows to 10) will fix it. But I can not promise and I can't say that the firmware procedure is safe (I personally encountered a failed attempt to update the BIOS, had to to restore on programmer). I have no other ideas, but loss of charge 1% per hour is improperly.
[Windows 8 General] majkel_94:
[MENTION=7059241]dim565[/MENTION]

It has to be Intel ME - it's a uC which manage the whole computer/tablet so it might be a bug in the old firmware that it's don't go to sleep and drain battery.

I could live with 1% in suspend (S3) but when I turn off the tablet and turn it on after a week there's no power and I have to charge it :/

Could you tell what version of IME do you have? Or maybe the link to download the updated which you have used ;) Thanks!
[Windows 8 General] dim565:
[MENTION=5007424]majkel_94[/MENTION] Now I have Intel Management Engine Interface driver version 11.0.0.1176. And in the BIOS ME FW Version 10.0.47.1006 (ME Firmware SKU 1.5MB).

On this site https://downloadcenter.intel.com/ru/search?keyword=intel+management+engine i saw only version 11.0.0.1158 (Intel Management Engine 11 Driver 1.5M for Intel® NUC), perhaps my version is newer because Windows driver updates.

I read on the forums that some help installing an older version of Management Ingine, but I could not install version 9.x.
[Windows 8 General] majkel_94:
I have the ME FW Version 10.0.47.1006 and the Win 8.1 driver 10.0.30.1054. I'm not sure wheather the 11 version of IME isn't for CoreM 6th gen CPUs and it's save to install it on 8.1 :P
[Windows 8 General] dim565:
It seems that the 11.x is compatible only with Windows 10.

I think it's safe. If the driver is not compatible with Windows 8, it will show error and will not be established.

Try this https://downloadcenter.intel.com/ru/download/25095/Intel-Management-Engine-11-1-5M-Intel-NUC
[Windows 8 General] majkel_94:
I updated the driver to version 11 but still battery drain - from 95% to 90% in 9 hours. Device turned off and the 3) solution (power button clicks on AMI logo).

It must be the bug in BIOS or short circuit in battery part...

The Wootever moded BIOS is throthling (has energy consumtion/temperature limit)? I use this tablet as laptop and I need full power with 6W TDP.
[Windows 8 General] dim565:
Sorry to hear that the driver update did not help :(

Yes, in the BIOS Mod from Wootever throttling begins on 70 'C. But you can set value in the BIOS (tcc activation offset=25 => 70 'C begins throttling, offset=3 => 92 'C begins throttling).

If you decide to flash BIOS Mod backup of your old BIOS will be done automatically (run Flash.cmd). I can give advice for extra security the firmware process. If you want, after flashing Bios Mod you can not agree with a reboot, then read the contents of the BIOS (fptw -d backup.bin) and compare file backup.bin with 5.8.bin. There should be a 100% match. If so, you can restart the tablet, should be no problem.

If the BIOS update does not help, then I am afraid you will be right. A hardware problem.
[Windows 8 General] majkel_94:
After a night: 16h -> 9% drop :(

So I should note the current TDP setting in BIOS, flash the 5.8 and set the settings to old values after flash? No more tweaks needed to restore full performance?
[Windows 8 General] dim565:
Not necessarily, but if you want you can.

As far as I know, the only change in BIOS Mod 5.8 affecting performance is tcc activation offset. Because this CPU will begin throttling at 70 'C, instead of 92.

No. I now have BIOS Mod 5.8. I lowered the value TCC Activation offset and with maximum CPU+GPU load i see Package Power on the normal value 6W. DPTF technology as I can remember is disabled by default in BIOS Mod.

Cube seems to be dead

I'm posting on behalf of the buyer of my Cube i7 Stylus. Before I sold the cube everything was working fine and so did the tablet when it arrived at the buyers home. He was able to work with the tablet and still everything seemed to be fine. He played with the device for some time and when the battery was already on a low level he left. Whe he came back the tablet didn't power on. Holding the power button for 30 seconds or pressing the reset button didn't work. Also the power led doesn't indicate that the battery is loading when he plugs in the power supply. Even loading the tablet for several hours didn't help.

Is this a common problem? And is there a known solution for the problem? Any suggestions?
[Windows 8 General] DrHunt:
First, Use a digital multimeter to check whether there is 12V voltage at the charging adapter.
[Windows 8 General] simu_lacrum:
When I sold the tablet I provided two power supplies. It's very unlikely that both are defective. Therefore I think we can assume that there's 12V voltage at at least one of the two charging adapters. Any other ideas?
[Windows 8 General] nealed:
I have had a similar problem: turned out to be the battery, not properly glued / stuck on, and with bumps in transit, it may have become dislodged,: Mine was partially disconnected, but it can become completely disconnected. However, mine always worked with the power supply plugged in, but stopped as soon as I unplugged it.

Thanks for this, I have some time to work on it again today so I'll see if I can get it all working with your script. The com.google.android.gms was already in the configurations when I forked.
[Windows 8 General] seaniccus:
I appreciate the thought, but I already had a solution lined up. That said, I'm thinking about cancelling my escalated dispute and just doing a return. This situation has me so frustrated, I think it's soured me on the hardware altogether. It won't have the pen digitizer I want, but I can get the new Acer Cloudbook for work, and it'll actually be better as a cheap portable laptop for writing -- and it will cost less and be completely legit. I'm very wound up and on the fence.

The problem is, I'm not sure if cancelling an escalated dispute closes the case or if it just reverts it to the regular dispute. I'm also worried about returning it, having never done so with Aliexpress -- is it possible for the seller to claim they never received the return goods and deny me the refund? It seems like Aliexpress itself is holding the funds.

Or maybe you kind folks can restore my faith in the product and I'll hold fast. I don't know. Like I said, i'm pretty wound up right now.

Edit: I'm stuck with my decision. I cannot cancel escalation without closing the order. My fate is in the hands of the aliexpress arbitration team. I guess worst case scenario I'll be returning it or I could sell it on ebay or something.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
[MENTION=4888831]seaniccus[/MENTION]

I'm pretty satisfied with this device, the hardware and the general quality is very decent, especially at this price point.

Also most of the more severe issues could be fixed via software updates

I can understand the frustration with the windows licensing, i wasn't very pleased to see this kms activated windows edition, fortunately i bought several windows 8.1 pro serials from the upgrade offer so i could let it pass.
[Windows 8 General] seaniccus:
It seems like a lot of the issues have been solved from XDA driver folks. Honestly, the only real problem I have with it (aside from not being a HUGE fan of the 16:9 display ratio) is palm detection on the trackpad and sometimes the touchscreen goes dead for a minute and you need to play with it to resatart -- the latter of which I hear is better after upgrading to windows 10?

Oh, and the stylus seems to scratch the "screen" but it also seems to have a factory installed screen protector on it, so it might be fine? (Has anybody pulled that off to see if the screen is tough enough to handle the stylus on its own?) I do kind of wish it had a Surface kickstand equivalent -- I loved using that to prop it up in my lap while drawing. I bought the Stylus folio to make up for it, but it's not very good.

edit: something like this could solve that last problem for me http://www.lynktec.com/Stands-for-iPad-and-Tablets-s/1823.htm

I do know I'm being a little silly, and I don't mean to come off negative. I just expected more. I think it is good hardware, and if I wind up keeping it, I'll be happy once I get over the sour initial experience.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
This is something i want to investigate as well, as a workaround: pressing the capacitive windows button will immediately wake it.

I'm only using my Note 3 pen (without screen protector) and didn't encounter any scratches. May be possible that other Wacom pens are more sharper.
[Windows 8 General] seaniccus:
I've had a few times where the Windows button didn't wake it. Are you in Win 10 for that situation? It could also be a side-effect of my fresh install -- there reason I had activation issues with Windows in the first place was that my reinstall killed the KMSPico activation, and that may have had other effects, too.

Without putting a screen protector on, or without the one that comes with it? My Stylus didn't come with an obvious screen protector, but I noticed a TINY bubble near the edge of the display, and then if I looked carefully, the edge of the screen protector itself. It's on good enough that I can't peel it off with just my fingernails, but it does seem like it could come off. It wasn't one of those super loose "shipping protection" screen protectors.

What I'm seeing are SUPER light scratches, but totally visible from the correct angle. It's made me afraid to draw on the tablet, which is sadly one of the reasons I've bought it. If the dispute goes my way and I keep it, I might buy the tempered glass protector on Aliexpress. If you've taken the protector i'm talking about off, however, it could just be indentations in the thin plastic and not legitimate scratches.

Good to know the Note 3 pen works, so I have an alternative for the future. My old Bamboo Fun pen doesn't seem to respond on it, despite being a Wacom pen -- but I don't know much about pen compatibility stuff.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
[MENTION=4888831]seaniccus[/MENTION]

I don't think the windows version makes a difference as this is handled by the bios/uefi.

Without the pre-installed screen protector, i removed it with a guitar pick.
[Windows 8 General] seaniccus:
[MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION]

Ah, thanks for clarifying that -- sounds like the same screen protector. That kind of gives me some confidence in taking it off, then. I kept worrying that it was needed for some reason... I've never purchased a device with a pre-installed screen protector like that.

Here's what you do, modify your escalation to say you want to return it. Once he agrees to that, you return it WITH A TRACKING NUMBER. If memory serves me right the signature confirmation is a moot point so don't pay extra for that on international shipments. Also DO NOT SEND IT FIRST CLASS. USPS only tracks priority international mail. Aliexpress will refund you no problem once it arrives. The money is in escrow so Cube doesn't have it yet, and won't ever get it. As for battling with them, you'll lose the dispute and will not get a partial refund and have to keep the tablet. For the record it DID say it was genuine on the days leading up until the 23rd. They changed their description, so unless anyone has a screen shot of that, we're all screwed on that defense. I opened a dispute yesterday and they offered me $10. I will probably just take it considering I'll lose if it gets escalated. Aliexpress is very seller friendly when it comes to disputes.
[Windows 8 General] seaniccus:
[MENTION=6869899]sneakerdad27[/MENTION]

Thanks for the advice! It looks like I can't edit the escalated dispute. My wife wants me to open a dispute with my credit card company if it fails, but I'm on the fence about that.

I'll be pretty upset if Aliexpress accepts the "We didn't say it WASN'T counterfeit" argument, because that's super weak -- but I have been concerned that they would side with Cube right away because this behavior is relatively common in the region.

Either way, it's been an interesting journey. I can't say I haven't learned anything. I'll post the results whenever they come.
[Windows 8 General] majkel_94:
They have to do this - 1500 devices with at least 20-30$ refund means a lot of money. So they are trying to twist everything round because they don't want to refund.

And they want to send it back because they can sell now for at least +50$ more ;)

The digitizer refresh rate is lowered when the screen is idle - you don't have to touch windows logo, you can tap and hold your finger on the screen for 1-2s - it will wake up by itself ;)
[Windows 8 General] MDaveUK:
Yeah, expecting support from a small Chinese company within China is not realistic. They aren't Lenovo.

In their defense and from what others have said in this thread; they do install legit Windows 8.1 Bing with single language (Chinese). But Cube say they make it easier for us English users by cracking it and adding the other languages. If you want genuine Windows it would be Chinese language only from what I understand. Adding the language you want while trying to navigate through control panel / settings in Chinese would be near impossible.

So this is the 'service' they provide to us non Chinese speaking / reading users. I guess they didn't expect people to be upset about that.

What I don't get is why can't they install the English language pack after installing Windows 8.1 Bing? Instead of going through the effort of cracking a legit Windows to install English for us?
[Windows 8 General] seaniccus:
This is what they're saying, but in my case it wasn't true. I checked with Microsoft via phone, the key they used verified 8.1 Bing, but had been blocked for misuse. If it was a legit verified Chinese key I'd be annoyed but shrug it off -- that would at least make sense -- but it's an illegitimate Chinese key that's been cracked and modified. Windows complained every two hours that it wasn't activated and would not update to a activated version of Windows 10 either. That's just not acceptable.
[Windows 8 General] bartwaw:
Hi,

also got this tablet. Quality is very good. Compared do Pipo which i've got its big improvement.

But got two questions:

Made update to Win 10. As I see Cube come with 1 year Office.

I don't see that option in W10. I know - I should firstly activate it on W8.1

Is there any image to recovery to W8.1 ?

But also need to notice, that my I7 Stylus came with Win 8.1 Pro 64bit.

Made updates, subscribed to win 10 update and then made manual update from pendrive to Win 10 Pro 64bit.

Win 10 says that is activated.

Second question - ordered with Pen - but didn't get it.

Has any one know which wacom pens are compatible.

I got Wacom Bamboo and it for sure is not compatible.

Thanks

Bartrek

I have it mostly working, except for that Play services failure. I found that I can stop that by going into the app permissions and re-selecting them. An odd bug.

Fix For The Missing Key Problem

I just fixed this issue. Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ROOT" in Regedit. Take ownership of the ROOT key, and then add the missing nested keys, i.e. "\SENSOR\0000\Device Parameters\kxfusion". Now, try again to import the reg key, and this time it will work.

Finally, change the permissions of the keys back to default if you like. :)

Update: I will add that although this fix

does

allow you to import the key, it

doesn't

actually fix the rotation problem, as I still had it on my tablet. :( I noticed that after a reboot, the key would delete itself from the registry. So everything after "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ROOT\SENSOR\0000" would be gone.

Solution: What did work was to go to the Kionix downloads page. (I would post the link but as a new user, XDA won't let me yet.) Download the KXTJ9-KXCJ9-KXTJ2 Driver. Next, delete the driver you have installed in the Device Manager completely. Reboot for good measure, and then install the driver you just downloaded. Reboot again. You may find the orientation key is missing once more. Import it. You shouldn't have to create the key by hand this time. Your rotation issues should be fixed. This definitely worked for me. :D

Edit, now that I've reinstalled Windows how the hell do I get the auto rotation back on? Been through the settings and cant seem to find it anywhere. I installed all the drivers in the first post to.

Edit, checked the display settings and there's nothing about auto rotation at all. Checked device manager and the sensor driver "Kionix sensor fusion driver" says "The device can not start. (Code 10)" Windows update says its the latest driver, disabling and enabling does nothing, I even went to the Kionix website and downloaded the latest one from there still nothing. :crying:
