Booting Problem with Cube i7 Stylus

Hi All,

I am facing an issue with my Cube i7 stylus, the issue is it does not boot after pressing the power button most of the time (7-times out of 8-times do not boot). After I try for around 7 or 8-times, then only it boots normally, else either screen will remain off or just CUBE logo will come and then disappear after pressing power button. Had anyone faced the same issue with their cube i7 stylus tablet ? But, once it boots, everything works fine. I always shut down completely, then only try to boot by pressing the power button, but still the same issue.

I received it with Windows 10 installed and have updated it through auto update. Also, I have updated drivers for all the devices from device manager. But, I am still facing above mentioned issue. This is really very annoying. Also, I had not purchased the cube keyboard.

Can someone please help ?

Thanks

Hi!

Well, putting the content of the zip file inside any new partition working well. (you can make it by using the windows disk manager and shrink the current partition, so you'll get a free 10GB space and then you can create a new partition).

the bios is auto detecting the content of the EFI folder inside the partition and add a new uefi boot option.

as you don't have a keyboard for entering the bios, you can enter the windows 10 all settings and then select update and security. inside you'll find an option for restart now which ring you to the boot selecting option. if you'll choose the second uefi option you'll reboot to the android.

so far so good.

things I find problematic:

1) the wireless display (miracast) not working for me.

2) the battery drain even in suspent mode.

3) the power button act as power of only. no sleep option.

4) I suggest to add in the next image viper4android which make the audio better.

5) the system come with 2GB data partition. using the bigger is better for me. anyway, you can save this file as backup for all of your apps and setting. the next update will only replace the other files.

6) creating multi boot is only working if you put the folder of this image in the same partition as your windows boot loader.

you're making a great job!

Thank you!

Thanks or the detailed explanation.

I tried the original and the updated script, but it is not working. Executing the script gives the error shown in the screenshot.

Unfortunately battery consumption is still excessive, I hope you can find a solution for this.
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Yea sorry,updated the other post (removed the ; that was causing that error) and seen that the last fi needs it's own line so not a one liner... The folowing however is:

sdcardp=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1; sdcardf=/mnt/media_rw/sdcard1; [ -e $sdcardp ] && mount -o rw,remount / && mkdir -p $sdcardf && fst=`blkid $sdcardp | awk '{print ($NF)}' | cut -d\" -f2` && mount -t $fst $sdcardp $sdcardf && mount -o ro,remount /

Pretty much same as the previous but without the if/fi and &&'s instead of ;'s. What the &&'s do is only run the next command if the previous one ran without an error.

I've set mine as the screenshots for my three sdcard partitions (I know I can make a simpleloop instead for * partitions but well...). You can see its mounted a ntfs partition (as ro), a vfat(fat32) one and an ext4.

Edit: Loop for * partitions

for a in `ls /dev/block/ | grep mmcblk0p`; do sdcardp=/dev/block/"$a";num=`expr "${num:-0}" + 1`; sdcardf=/mnt/media_rw/sdcard"$num" ; [ -e $sdcardp ] && mount -o rw,remount / && mkdir -p $sdcardf && fst=`blkid $sdcardp | awk '{print ($NF)}' | cut -d\" -f2` && mount -t $fst $sdcardp $sdcardf && mount -o ro,remount /; done

Anyone here tried cases of surface pro 2 for our tablet??

I like this case (urban armor gear) do u think it'll fit for cube i7 Stylus

Reset pen calibration?

Hello,

As many people, pen calibration is never giving me a perfect result. I think the calibration was OK just out of the box (why did I calibrate it then for the fisrt time, I don't know).

So, is there a way to reset the calibration to its default? I searched the thread but found nothing.

est ce que quelqu'un si connait en script linux??

il y a peut etre un moyen de contourne le sommeil profond d'android

la commande "echo mem > /sys/power/state" envoie la tablette dans un sommeil profond

on pourrait se servir de la luminositer de l'ecran pour quand elle est a 0 ca envoie en sommeil profond

le fichier concerne ce trouve "/sys/class/drm/card0/card0-eDP-1/device/card0-eDP-1/actual_brightness"

je suis en train d'apprendre linux et toute aide sera la bienvenu

if [ -f "/sys/power/state" ]; then

echo "test `cat /sys/power/state`!"

else while [ ! "`cat /sys/class/drm/card0/card0-eDP-1/device/card0-eDP-1/actual_brightness`" ]; do sleep 1; done

[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
If you're suggesting this as a 'fix' for setting the brightness too low try:

while [ "`cat /sys/power/state`" = "freeze mem" ]; do
echo "freeze mem"
if [ "`cat /sys/class/drm/card0/card0-eDP-1/intel_backlight/actual_brightness`" = "0" ]; then
sleep 1
echo "mem" > /sys/power/state
fi
done

It seems to work for this purpose for me.

wow, battery is so bad now that i have to keep charging the tablet.
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
It probably could be better; as it doesn't seem to be able to run at boot and it needs to run continuously in the background.

Probably also need to add an echo 1 > ../../intel_backlight/brightness somewhere so that if you reboot with 0 brightness you don't have to poke around in the dark.
[Windows 8 General] asplash:
Oui on dois pouvoir l'ameliore ce n'etait qu'un test

Mon idée ai de récré l'ancienne version du sommeil d'android

Quand la luminosite est a 0

Creation du fichier "/sys/power/wait_for_fb_sleep"

Et ecrire dedans "Android is now sleeping!"

Et quand la luminosite est supérieur a 1

Creation du fichier "/sys/power/wait_for_fb_wake"

Et ecrire dedans "Android is now awake!"

Et suppresion de l'autre fichier

Voir deja avec ca comment android ce comporte

Sinon on pourra cree un script pour le mod sleep

Et un autre pour le mode awake.

Avec divers optimisation au fur et a mesure

Edit : pour le moment vous pouvez le charge ai demarrage en utilisant script manager et selectionner su et boot

This is because the pogo male connector touches the body and shorts out. It seems the tablet has a safety feature where it disconnects all usb's in order not to do damage.

If you carefully dock the keyboard it won't happen.

Solution is to get some non conductive sticker and stick it at the female side.
[Windows 8 General] gbru2505:
Mine came with a genuine copy of Windows 10 Home and the tablet itself has updated to the latest version of Windows ten. I also bought the keyboard & stylus from Gearbest and like others, have malfunctioning, non-responsive keys. Likewise raised a dispute through Paypal which Gearbest insisted I withdraw before they give me the address for returns. Since then they haven't co-operated. Has anyone got the returns address so I can get it sent back within the thirty days please? Thanks.

cube i7 stylus support windows 7?
[Windows 8 General] techbissu:
This tablet is really giving me hard time, it is so difficult to install Windows 10 on it. The issue is it does not start booting on pressing the Power Button and hence, may be crashes immediately after pressing the power button, and hence, do not detect the external USB keyboard (I am pressing DEL button) so that I can enter into BIOS mode. It took me more than 4 hours to enter into BIOS mode, somehow managed to enter, and started the Windows 10 installation through bootable pen drive. But, again, in the mid of installation, windows crashed. I tried multiple times to install windows, and every time during crash, received different error message, attaching the message here.

Finally, I was able to install clean Windows 10 OS in my tablet and installed the drivers from OP. I also updated the OS with auto update. But now, Windows again crashed. Don't know the exact reason now why it is crashing for me. And again back to the same problem of unable to boot the tablet now. May be it will take another 4-5 hours for me to make it up again.

I don't know what exactly the problem is. Should I try with updating BIOS from OP now ? Can this also be the reason for frequent crashing of OS By the way, my current BIOS version is 2.17.1249 of AMERICAN MEGATRENDS INC. Also, many times, even in BIOS mode, tablet crashes and the display screen becomes irresponsive with red dots in the windows (also attached image).

Or is it faulty hardware which is causing problem for me, please advice ?

Thanks

I didn't know what /sys/power/state was yesterday when I posted so that script is a bit non-sensical...

Something like:

watch -n 20 '[ "`cat /sys/class/drm/card0/card0-eDP-1/intel_backlight/actual_brightness`" = "0" ] && echo "mem" > /sys/power/state'

makes more sense. It's basically polling the ../../../actual_brightness file every

20 seconds and if it's 0 sending the mem to state...

Still need to find where the value for the brightness slider is, so that the tablet can't be rebooted with it set at 0. There is an xml in the systemui data but I don't think it's dynamic.

For anyone interested in this mem is the equivilant of S3 in Windows and freeze (which you can also send) is S0.

AOSP 6.0 has the lowest brightness as 1 - to circumvent this issue (that is in Remix) I guess. Anyone using it, you could make a simple echo mem > /sys/power/state script that you canissue when you want to sleep (you will see markadly improved sleep battery time)

[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Have a check if running

echo 1 > /sys/power/pm_trace
echo mem > /sys/power/state

does anything differently.

I've tried the CM13 but only with a generic 4.4 kernel; so runs fine but doesn't have touchscreen/wifi etc.

I have tried swapping kernel/modules but that just stalled (due to gatekeeperd I think), I thought that would boot and I could copy over firmware files from there. Not sure if he's moved to using the Androidx86 kernel sources yet...

Hello,

Just a quick question. I read some of the sections about the DIY heatspreader but couldn't find information about thermal paste.

I've seen some video reviews and those people said that they removed the stock thermal pads and put thermal paste on and put the original heatspreader back on top and saw lower temperatures.

But the DIY heatspreader section said that theres is too large a gap to just put thermal paste on the cpu and that a thermal pad is needed.

Could anyone clarify that thermal paste alone works or that there is indeed a gap and that thermal paste alone with the stock heatspreader does not work.

Furthermore, what is the best way to lower the temperatures without doing a custom built heatspreader? I'll be ordering some stuff online soon and I wanted to know if I should order thermal paste or just thermal pads. Also, which thermal pads are good to use (size, number, brand, etc). I only know how to apply thermal paste on desktop cpu's, this is my first time working with a tablet and thermal pads.

[Windows 8 General] techbissu:
Hi All,

I think finally I got the root cause of issue with my Cube i7 Stylus for not booting at all and even if it booted, then, crashing all the time. First of all, thank you [MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION] for providing the "Device Disassembling" method in OP, following which I opened my tablet. What I am observing is without back cover, the tablet boots perfectly everytime and have not observed crashing of tablet all all. I already performed ON/OFF of tablet more than 10-times till now and everytime, tablet is booting perfectly. The moment I again put back the cover, the same issue of tablet not booting at all and even if it boots, crashes after some time (if I touch the tablet or do some movement with tablet).

So, it looks like back cover is touching some component or part in the motherboard of the tablet which is causing actual problem for me. I have attached the picture of back cover (from inside) and motherboard.

Can someone please help me how can I fix this issue so that I can put it back backcover to tablet ?

Thanks

Have you submitted these to Androidx86? I'd say they'd take the iiosensors as it was on the TODO list.

With the healthd; I guess it doesn't matter but would removing the 'devices on mains without a battery' have any implications? i.e. apparent battery reports as 0% or something...

Cytrix Complex 11t

Hello, All,

Got the Cytrix re-brand (from what i can tell) of the i7Stylus: Complex 11t.

Newegg/Ushop mall special for 399 with keyboard and stylus, win10 (full english).

Working on getting the dual boot of win10 and Ubuntu....

I have a ext4 partition (minitool partition wizard) created.

I used Paragon Extfs (registered free trial with guerrialmail) to move the i7stylusUbuntu.rar (6gig from page 3 of this thread) to the ext4 volume.

now stuck....

I see that if i create a fat32 volume that another EFI boot option appears in the BIOS, but the ext4 does not.

I have tried to add an entry to the (bootx64.cfg ? ithink) file that EFI finds windows in, but it does not give me the option.

I would be OK with a manual BIOS modification for OS switching... but would prefer to use a single EFI boot menu to select OS on boot.

what am i missing?

fwiw, I have ready about 350 of the pages of this thread and done a bit of searching.

The issue is that there is a lot of noise in the threads about the i7stylus before they were re-branded/available - i am suprized to not find more about this particular device, it rocks so far.... (although i have managed to hit cpu ram and disk all to 99% a few times under my windows zero tasking habits)
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
Unlikely (at least for our devices), the initial problem is that the kernel won't register the acpi ac driver if the charger is not connected, healthd only relies on the acpi ac driver to check if a battery exists.

This check is removed and it will use the battery status as charging indicator instead of the acpi device.

Edit:

For non-battery x86 devices there is also an option to enable fake battery stats.
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Thanks, thought it was a general 6.0 issue. (As it's not there with 4.4.4 / 5.1) Would that be an issue with the auto-driver modprobing then? and/or pci.ids.gz?

Edit. Think I misread, this is a generic (non-device) specific bug right?

[MENTION=2656020]ipsomatic[/MENTION] I'd probably make a fat16/fat32 partition to house at least the efi/boot folder or just use NTFS instead of ext4 or you could add a grub to the windows efi partition.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
[MENTION=4056517]HypoTurtle[/MENTION]

I'm not exactly sure, android introduced the issue with this commit, but it might be an kernel issue as well.

The ACPI AC driver is built-in and will only be initialized on kernel startup, windows seems to handle it dynamically.

Edit:

Most of the firmware files will be copied by the Android x86 build environment. However there is an upcoming (built-in) realtek wifi kernel driver that needs some specific firmware files.

Hi [MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION],

I tried everything, but the moment I put back backcover to tablet, the tablet do not boot at all. In fact, I tried with various angles like just putting backcover to lower section only (upper section still outside backcover), which works. Then, just putting upper section inside cover, but keeping lower section outside backcover, which also works (means it boots). The moment I put cover to full tablet, it does not boot. Only RED led turns ON and after few seconds, turned OFF.

I tried to cover all the sections in mother board with paper so that they do not touch the cover by any chance, but no success.

Please help me and do let me know if I can check something else as well.

I had this from the beginning. I suspect if you don't align the tablet perfectly, the pogo-pins on the keyboard can touch the metal back cover while VCC is already connected, and shotcircuit the dock, which makes the USB HUB everything is connected to inside to stop working until a reboot. I'm looking into BT keyboards with touchpads, I want to buy one before I fry my tablet with this silly keyboard dock. A shame about the full sized USB ports, but I don't want to wait until the whole thing fries. I've almost bought this, but there is no feedback and it's a bit expensive for charity.

Thanks for putting me on the right track.
