You may have turned off the usb detection by bios; you could try pressing the bios reset button (next to power) and see if Del works after that.
[Windows 8 General] murakh:
Just to be clear in case our understandings are different, are you pressing the Del / Esc keys rapidly and repeatedly as soon as the device powers up?

Unless your timing is really good you will not get into the BIOS menu just pressing once or even pressing and holding.

Question for those with larger micro sd cards, how's the read/write performance?

I'm getting out of space, and thinking of buying a 64gb card to compensate a bit. I could replace the internal ssd, but would have no use for the original one.

Also, for those like me, turning on windows compression saved me about 15/20gb, in exchange for somewhat slower write/read performance, which only becomes really noteworthy while moving files between external drives

Screen Rotation issue

Hello All,

It appears that the i7's screen rotation does not like to work in conjunction with the keyboard dock. When the system is first booted my screen rotation works as intended. Once I attach the unit to the keyboard dock the "screen rotation lock" becomes greyed out in Windows settings and the "Rotation Lock" becomes greyed out in the Windows 10 charms. If the i7 Stylus is removed from the keyboard dock the system does not regain rotation ability. Once rebooted the system will work fine with rotation again.

Any ideas on a possible solution to this issue? It feels like a Windows issue and not drivers since the unit will initially work.

Thanks in advance for any help!!
[Windows 8 General] mikiemon:
Only fix I found for this was to re-install windows. I searched for an answer for three days and never got it working right. It started right after I did a bios update to version 5.2. Tablet acted even worse when I tried to restore the original bios. So I went back to bios version 5.2 and re-installed windows all good now.
[Windows 8 General] seaniccus:
I know this has been covered already, but here's Cube's response about genuine windows:

Weird, my desktop runs Windows 8. I didn't know i could read Chinese. Ugh. I guess I'll have to open a dispute. I made one more demand and gave him a short deadline. We'll see if anything comes of it.

To that end, however, folks that have upgraded to Windows 10 as "Jerry-Cube" suggests -- does that give you a valid version of Windows? Are you upgrading from the installation the tablet shipped with? I reinstalled windows to make sure everything was clean and lost the phoney activation, so I don't think I even CAN upgrade. Would that solve my problem, or just give me an inactivated Windows 10?
[Windows 8 General] rilot:
You would end up with an un-activated Windows 10.

In your case, you could use KMS Pico to activate your new windows and then upgrade to 10. I'm not going to tell you how though as I value my XDA account.

I have opened a dispute immediately after seeing the KMS updated Windows. I have asked for either a valid key or a £60 refund as that is about what I can buy an OEM copy of Win8.1 for.

Does anyone know of any other chargers I can buy that I can use with the i7? I'm sure they use the same as some other tablets.
[Windows 8 General] seaniccus:
Thanks, this is what I suspected. I also guessed that I could go down the other route you mentioned, but I'd prefer not to do so. I want a legal copy as well.

Did you get a response to your dispute? Also -- and i know this is a dumb as bricks question -- where the hell do you buy a product key? When i try to buy a key using the Windows 8 menu, it tells me online sales are not available in my region (The US? Really?). I've tried calling Microsoft but they keep pitching me to different departments. They seem really confused by "I'd like to buy a Windows 8 product key."

Anyway, thanks for the answers.

One more stupid question about this thing: is there a removable film on the screen? There seems to be an air bubble on the edge of my tablet, but whatever it's under is no there pretty tight. It looks like I could get it off if I wanted, but it's on awful well for a shipping-screen protector. I'm afraid to remove it, in that it might make the screen more vulnerable, but I was drawing on it last night and what is there is covered in light scratches that are totally visible when the screen isn't on. Thoughts?
[Windows 8 General] rilot:
Yeah, the shipping screen protector scratches up really easily. I'm thinking of just taking it off and using the bare screen. I'm pretty careful with devices and have yet to noticeably scratch a screen.

Makes me wonder how durable the actual screen is for them to feel the need to ship it with a protector attached.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
It seems that Configurable TDP on Disabled also uses 0.8GHz and Config TDP LOCK on Disabled allows the selection between those three states. It may need another setting enabled/disabled to function properly

[MENTION=258505]rilot[/MENTION]

Thanks for the Bios.

It's probably just the protective foil from the glass/digitizer production.
[Windows 8 General] tarcusphere:
I've received the same message about the win10 upgrade.

I did the same, reinstalled the windows 8.1 version that came with the tablet and lost the activation however using the "KMS_VL_ALL-SppExtComObjPatcher-kms-4.7z" will activate the 8.1 version for you, it's not illegal since the system already had a OEM license for your activation but since its for chinese Core Bing Edition once you use the english setup it's impossible to activate it by traditional means.

Once done, you just have to hit windows update and let it download the 600mb of updates then then you have to run with admin rights at the cmd: wuauclt.exe /upgradenow

That'll begin the windows 10 update, remember to restart every time you install an update.

Took me about one day but everything worked smoothly.

Hey, I've just installed this bios but it seems that my bios was the American Megatrends :(

Now it just shows up the chinese logo at startup and it gets stuck there.

Any help somebody?

Thanks in advance!
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
If you just see the spinning windows loading animation then hold the power off key for ~15 seconds for a power off.
[Windows 8 General] seaniccus:
Is this legit? I was under the impression that the kind of activation provided in the original install was a false, illegal activation... after all, isn't it against the rules to post where to get KMS_VL_ALL-SppExtComObjPatcher-kms-4.7z? (I assume this is the file Cube used to activate them originally, but I'm not sure?)

So this is a removable screen protector? It seems like it but it's on there so good, I just can't tell. I'm afraid to draw more on the tablet in case it's not removable / can do permanent damage. I never had any issue drawing direct on the screen with my Surface 3, but you know, i'd hate to ruin it.
[Windows 8 General] tarcusphere:
Thanks a lot, it did the trick, I can see that the wireless issue is coming from the non American Megatrends version BIOS.

I've installed the V3 and the wireless is not working now however it was working while on the stock American Megatrends BIOS.

Could it be that the AM BIOS is newer? Any thoughts on this?
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
[MENTION=6871774]tarcusphere[/MENTION]

I got a backup from this version and i'm currently testing it.

Edit:

You can also just re-flash your Bios Backup.

Open a administrative command shell and navigate to fptw.exe:

fptw -f backup_xxx.bin
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
The problem with Volume activation is the time limitation, it seems an upgrade to Windows 10 is permanently activated on the OEM/Volume channel (for now), but it is likely they will revoke all this "false" activations in the near future.
[Windows 8 General] tarcusphere:
Unfortunatedly the bios backup didn't work so i just went on with the flashing of the V3 BIOS, (my fault).

I've fixed the WIFI issues by using the instructions on this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62184734&postcount=135

By c0de90e7

Could you upload your backup of the AM BIOS?

So far i've noticed that using the V3 BIOS the tablet is hotter than the AM BIOS, I'm going to try the V4 just in case.
[Windows 8 General] seaniccus:
So if I were to find that file, reactivate Windows the same way Cube did and upgrade, it might be flagged as false later anyway? Hm. Really not sure what to do here (beyond continuing to ask for a valid key)
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
[MENTION=4888831]seaniccus[/MENTION]

I also got the kms activator on my device but there was at least a valid single language edition in the bios, if you got a valid bing licence key you may have the chance to legally update from Windows 8.1 Bin -> Windows 10 Home

[Windows 8 General] seaniccus:
Sorry if I'm getting too basic here, I just want to make sure I understand: You found a valid Windows 8.1 Bing license key in the Bios? And you were able to legally activate windows with it? How did you access / find this? Maybe I just don't know where to look, but I've never found a Windows License Key stashed in my bios before.
[Windows 8 General] Tyrant82:
Thanks for the BIOS upload. Had no chance to do it until now but the command is not working. Should look into it how to backup my bios. Yes its centered in the middle with a black screen.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
Try ProduKey to read the oem windows serial and use Ultimate PID Checker to validate it.

I didn't use the bios serial to activate my windows edition (used a windows pro key) but in theory it should work as described.

Edit:

PID Checker about my bios serial:

Edition Type	: CoreCountrySpecific
Description	: Win 8.1 RTM CoreCountrySpecific OEM:DM

[MENTION=1859278]Tyrant82[/MENTION]

I updated the bios package with a 1-click backup batch file, please try if this is working for you.
[Windows 8 General] seaniccus:
No go bummer, here. PID checker (using "system") identified the key as Win 8.1 RTM CoreConnected OEM : DM, and marked it as Valid, but if I try and activate windows it returns "This key didn't work, please check it and try again, or try a different key."

Your key was valid though? Looks like some folks have valid keys and others don't?
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
[MENTION=4888831]seaniccus[/MENTION]

That's because your windows edition is not matching, you will need to re-install windows 8.1 bing edition to get it working.
[Windows 8 General] seaniccus:
[MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION]

According to System, that's what I'm running: Windows 8.1 with Bing.

When I first got the tablet I asked it to reinstall Windows, but I didn't give it different files to work from. Is there a different version of 8.1 Bing I should be using?

Edit: Reinstall as in I just used the Windows 8 Menu to refresh the PC, I didn't give it any install media beyond what it naively had.
[Windows 8 General] Andy_manu:
Yes, pressed the keys repeteadly as fast as I could without holding.

The only change I have seen is that it takes a little longer to boot up when I press the bios reset button.

When I am on the screen if I press Ctrl+Alt+Del it seems to reboot the tablet and the windows button ofthe tablet makes it vibrates if that tells you something :S
[Windows 8 General] murakh:
Now I am just on to guessing in the hopes that one of my guesses is something you haven't guessed yourself and might work.

Are you using the Cube Keyboard dock? Even if not, can you plug in a (different) USB keyboard and try that? (If you don't have a USB hub, don't worry about the USB stick not being plugged in, first you need to get into the BIOS)

How long have you tried to leave it on the Logo screen? After a few attempts if there is any portion of Windows left it should fail into the recovery menu, but sometimes it can seem to take a long time.

Is the USB stick correctly formatted and imaged? Can you try using a different USB stick?

Poor gaming performance

Hello Wootever.

I have your Bios Mod 5.3 and everything its very very nice, but i have only one problem.

I need to put on factory settings all this setting (From original bios):

* set configurable tdp to disabled------I put on nominal like original

* set config tdp lock to enabled----------------I put to disabled like original

* set tcc activation offset to 30--------------I put on 3 like original

Because the performance its very poor. I test on games like Tomb Raider and Bioshock infinite. I have double Fps with the original setting. Only better performance when i slow down the tcc activation to 3.

Its safe to slow down tcc activation offset to 3 and the configurable tdp/tdp lock like your bios?

Regards
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
[MENTION=7194622]elfenix182[/MENTION]

Configurable TDP has no effect on performance, TCC Activation offset is described here -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64443775&postcount=2011

Edit:

It is basically a hardlock that keeps the temperature at 65°C (with offset 30), setting the offset to 3 will result in a maximum allowed temperature of 92°C
[Windows 8 General] elfenix182:
Then, i need to decide. Don´t use the cube for gaming or burn the tablet :crying:

Its safe to use the tablet at 92º? This default setting its only to get better reviews and benchmarks for cube?

I try to get up tcc activacion until i get a decent performance then.

3. pen and finger touch the screen at same time, drawing line is disappear....

please tell me how can I fix it?

[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
The core should withstand ~90°C without issues, but it might impact it's lifetime.

I guess they prefer benchmark values over usability and they economize on the cooling concept. However the mainboard itself and it's components are of good quality.

[MENTION=7194798]skyman4872[/MENTION]

Well, it will take some time to fix all smaller issues since i just have started building android.

I7 stylus doesnt work anymore

Hi all. Had my cube i7 stylus a few month. Then suddenly it stoppes working. No charging led or anything. Have taken it apart and the battery says 6.6V, isn't this to low? Nothing happens when i leave the chargen in for a while.

I have tested the charger, it works fine.

Anyone got any ideas?
[Windows 8 General] Andy_manu:
Ok, I have tried again with the Cube keyboard dock and with other two keyboards, a standard USB keyboard and an old one with ps2+usb adapter. None of them did the trick :eek:.

I got two USBs:

For USB 1 I used RUFUS and a Windows 10 pro 64bit.

For USB 2 I used RUFUS again and a Windows 7 Starter 32 bit. just to try and boot it up.

I tried both USBs o another computer, USB 1 did not boot, I guess its faulty. USB 2 did boot on the other computer, I think it would boot in the tablet as well, correct me if I am wrong.

I think the windows in the tablet is complete gone, I left it a couple times for a couple hours. The tablet gets really warm... but it does not seem to change.

Thanks a lot for your help.
[Windows 8 General] mikiemon:
You tested the charger under a load or it has 12v output with no load? A bad power supply can read 12v with no load (not used but plugged into an AC outlet) and when you try to use it the output might be dragged down enough to not charge your tablet.

[Windows 8 General] murakh:
I am afraid you have tried pretty much everything I would normally try so I am out of suggestions.

If it might help, I timed the point at which you need to press ESC, which is 4.5s (5s also works) if you want to see if you can hit that mark. Without getting into the BIOS you cant really proceed. But it is strange that you cannot get in, even after using the BIOS reset button (have you tried it again?)

Whether or not the USB would boot would depend on the system, Windows 10 needs UEFI whereas Win 7 32 does not, so if that other system did not support UEFI or it is not set in the BIOS then I guess it would not boot. Also unsure if a non-UEFI Windows 7 would boot in a UEFI system like the Cube.

Maybe someone else will be able to give you better solutions or options now.
[Windows 8 General] raws89:
The problem is that the tablet doesn't work anymore, so cant test the charger under load, but I have two chargers, noone of them works. So thinking that its something with the tablet itself.
[Windows 8 General] Andy_manu:
Thank you very much murakh, I will have to wait for customer service response then and see if they suggest something else, but without been able of getting into the bios I cant do really anything.

I am afraid I will have to return it.:(

Thanks again. ANd if anyone else has any idea, I will be glad to give it a try if it does not mean disassembling it jeje

can't mirror display weird problem

Hello,

I’m using micro HDMI to HDMI adapter + HDMI to DVI cable in order to use external display.

It worked perfectly with the first display I tried.

Then I tried about 10 different displays and it didn’t work.

I went back to my place and tried the 1st display – it works just fine.

I tried a different display from the same company at my place – it doesn’t work.

Moreover, when I plug in the display, it doesn’t play that ‘plug and play’ sound like it would on the 1st display.

Conclusion:

The adapter and cable work fine.

It seems I’m limited to just the 1st display I’ve tried.

Any solutions?
[Windows 8 General] baxtex:
Just a little quicktip. If you need to extend the powercable but don't want to use a bulky power cord you can simply just attache a power cable from i ex a monitor or PSU.

Quick update:

After updating to BIOS 5.5 (I was on 5.2) screen rotation is now working as intended. I'm wondering if something got missed in translation in the earlier BIOS version that 5.5 subsequently fixed.

Anyways, thank you all for being an amazing community. I'm absolutely loving this little device. I picked up an HP displaylink 14'' monitor so I can get dual-screen capabilities while on the road. The cube drives it through the USB 3.0 port with no issues whatsoever. This little powerhouse has completely replaced my bulky laptop that I used to carry around.

[Windows 8 General] baha76_s:
Install it, put it as quadriple boot (with Windows 10, ubuntu and Android 4.4.4), so my observations:

- Touch effects and stylus strocks effects was very good with fluidity, no lags of touch strocks (till now).

- Wifi and bluetooth work well, wifi speed test with various conditions as expected with our wireless card, Bluetooth connectivity good without any interruption.

- Good managing of RAM without any gpu or system crashs.

Some rare apps crash (but I think from user side not system one).

- Always could not able to install xposed installer (lollipop version), but I think because of problems of dalvik-cashe permissions (the same problem in installing xposed installer-android 4.4 version- in my android 4.4.4 in my tablet, but I'm investigating the problem).

- I didn't had the time to test the system performance.

Good job, and of course, a very special thanks to Wootever.

[Windows 8 General] baha76_s:
Yes I already enabled the native bridge, but I think the problem not from the compatibility, the problem present even in the android 4.4.4 version of Wootever.

These apps open normally at begining so it is not ARM incompatibility, but after some times or some specific actions, the apps force close.
