Pen in bundle sold in aliexpress 11.11 fake/ without pressure?

Hello!

I bought the tablet in bundle with keybard and pen at the aliexpress 11.11 sale.

Expect from the crappy touchpad in the keyboard stand i think it is a nice tablet/netbook combination.

But today i wantet to test the wacom pen wich was included in the bundle and it has no pressure sensitivity. I tried in corel painter 2016 and noticed that it did not have any pressure sensitivity at all, just 0 and 1.

So i opend the wacom pen desktop app and played with tip sensitivity, but also no difference in pressure sensitivity.

Finaly i marked the checkbox "hard press to double click" and noticed that this is also not working. With the checkbox checked the tablet is recognizing every touch as a dopel click.

The tablet came with windows 10 installed and i installed the driver package from the first site of that thrtead, but also with no result.

So did they scammed the 11.11 buyers or did i got something wrong?

Is there a wacom stylus test tool or something like that wich just gives out the raw numbers the key is sending ?

thanks for helping
[Windows 8 General] Ragingsheep:
Yep - same 11.11 sale. Pen has no sensitivity.

Does it look like 1 or 2?

1. http://www.cube-tablet.com/cep01-for-cube-i7-stylus-version.html

2. http://www.dx.com/p/ocube-passive-touch-pen-stylus-for-stylus-version-cube-i7-iwork11-black-418556

Number 2 is the one I have and if you look at all the reviews or search for Original or Genuine CEP01 pens on Google or Aliexpress, you will see that it looks like Number 1. The real ones also come with 5 replacement tips and a replacement tip tool.

The sellers claim that it's a new design and that the old one was flimsy or damaged easily but considering they've lied to me in the past about tracking numbers, if the tablet has shipped or not, etc, then as far as I'm concerned, they're lying here too.

I've told them to refund me my $30USD (+ my DHL fees) or because there's no pressure sensitivity, declare the whole tablet as faulty and replace it at their expense.

I'm so tired of dealing with their crap.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
The designed capacity of 4300mAh is the default value reported by the Embedded controller which reads data from the Battery fuel gauge.

Originally, those values were just multiplied with 10x; which showed a capacity of 43.000mWh.

Might be just some kind of diversification, but more likely they switched the battery cells after the engineering process without adjusting it to the lower rate.
[Windows 8 General] :
Looks like the same, indeed. I bought it from So cube for 20 bucks at the 11.11 event. I'll try to contact them.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
Unfortunately a known issue, the WiFi/BT module as well as the antenna isn't exactly first quality, it also only supports 2.4GHz WiFi.

There are two solutions i can suggest: replacing the internal WiFi antenna with a powerful notebook antenna gives an enormous speed increase. But this requires opening and modifying the device of course.

Otherwise you may increase your router bandwith, but beware:

If there are rather few 2.4Ghz wireless networks around you can set your bandwith to 40Mhz and Channel 3 or 11.

[Windows 8 General] bERt1290:
Yeah me too, also got pen number 2 :(

If they send all the customers pen number 2 this is a clear and blatant scam from the seller and aliexpress should notify all buyers from the 11.11 sale!!!

It is a shame that sellers like this are ruining the aliexpress shopping xperience, i was a happy customer for years but from the last 6 orders i made , 3 sellers send me broken products and\or try to scam me.

I am tired of dealing with their crap too, i will request the same.

Does anyone else have problems with wifi disconnects using the more recent Realtek drivers?

Wifi will work fine, but every 5 or 10 mins all sessions will drop - Skype will sit trying to reconnect, Outlook will disconnect from exchange etc. 30s later connectivity will come back. The wifi network doesn't appear to disconnect, just drop all sessions.

If you roll back to the Realtek driver supplied with Windows 10, then the wifi connection is more stable (but still seems to hang every half an hour or so), but my bluetooth mouse is jerky when wifi is connected. Disconnect wifi and it's smooth. Upgrade to the later Realtek drivers and it's smooth again, but keeps dropping..

I've tried disabling power saving on the wifi adaptor but it still drops... Any suggestions?

*edit* Installing the BT drivers at:

http://www76.zippyshare.com/v/oR7HOHrl/file.html

Seem to have fixed the mouse stuttering issues. Which is weird as I tried them previously and they wouldn't let me see any bluetooth devices at all.....
[Windows 8 General] ErylFlynn:
I am no expert, but I do know that WiFi is complex. Turning this on could have the opposite effect, adding more interference, resends and the like. Just like increasing the power of your AP could cause your network to slow down as it competes with other devices in the larger coverage area.

Turbo or double channel width is rarely usable due to so many devices in the frequency range. Just a disclaimer to those who may not have much WiFi tuning experience.

So I got mine from 11.11.'s They have been delaying my shipment over 10 days over time line but I guess they had a lot shipments to send.

Have to say I have no problems with wi-fi, keyboard or authenticity of win10 after system language change.

Thing that bothers me is horrible palm rejection and the pen we got it should be like in this video t=5m5s

[YOUTUBE]SannPi44u2I?t=5m5s[/YOUTUBE]

Not the baggy knock off we got. What is the reasonable refund request for faulty pen?

Can you guys update me with your refund statuses?

Is BIOS flashing and regediting still necessary with our latest units?
[Windows 8 General] tsytsman:
I got mine on 11.11, it took them forever to ship it. in 10 days they gave me fake DHL tracking number, which wasn't working. I have messaged them in 10 more days, they gave me new number, and it was shipped the same day they gave it to me. Just got it yesterday, it came with illegal copy of windows (KMS actvation), and fake pen. I contacted the seller, they gave me some software to extract key from register (which, of course, is just a generic key), and now they are blaming me for reinstalling windows, because "it was working before". I can't believe that it is one of the biggest sellers, who was frontpaged on 11.11
[Windows 8 General] Ragingsheep:
Even worse. At least my copy of Windows appears genuine.

Regarding the pen, I tested the tablet with a Note 3 stylus and it had working pressure sensitivity.

[Windows 8 General] Kaiyes:
May be a stupid question but guys do you think we can add the HD 8900M Series Notebook Graphics Cards to the cube ?
[Windows 8 General] zdanee:
How would you connect it? You'd need at least an expresscard slot to get a PCI-e 1x speed on an external GPU box. Stuffing it inside? Nah, forget it.
[Windows 8 General] Mype:
I bought from the Aliexpress seller and did not get the right pen neither.

Also I noted that the charger included is 2A and not the 2.5A, does anybody else got the same.

What's the disadvantage with a smaller charger? Guessing it charge slower?
[Windows 8 General] Ragingsheep:
Yeah - charges slower.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
I guess, the only wireless antennas i can suggest are the Fujitsu Amilo, since those are the ones i used for my device.

[Windows 8 General] oeriel:
[MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION] - you are doing some modifications (some... 0:) ...) to this Cube i7 Stylus. You try to reduce temperature. Without any fan.

Some time ago you have found a mini/micro size fan, and I have different question.

On this mainboard, there are 4 screws to fasten the cooling plate. Is there an option, to put there any small fan to that screws and cool processor that way?

Maybe is there any connection inside tablet (like some kind of USB) on mainboard to power some kind of device? And after all, normal close the cover as original.

Any tip for antennas with long cable? I bought one on ebay, but when it arrived I realized that the cable is too long. Also, I noticed that I'm already getting full speed (~3MBps) on my current connection with the stock antenna, but as I'm going to upgrade my internet to 10MBps will I be able to utilize it with an antenna mod?
[Windows 8 General] mrozboss:
about the custom heatsink:

is it better to have the thermal pad across the whole plate or just part of its shown in the tutorial?
[Windows 8 General] baxtex:
I just tried it but it doesn't work for me. The Ribbon cable seems damaged, beacuse when I "wooble" it, sometimes it gets the keys working. Funny though that our pcb's doesn't look the same, this is mine:

http://imgur.com/oO225p6

However I can't seem to make the ribbon cable connect properly to the connector. I lift the plastic bar, insert the cable and then press down the plastic bar again, but it's not enough pressure. If I press down on the plastic bar the keys work again, so there is my problem.

Any tip on how to make the ribbon connector apply more pressure?

Thats impresive, what about gpu overclock?
[Windows 8 General] baxtex:
Yes please, this is the translation I got:

Cut drill (Dremel), then needle files processed. But you can drill, aluminum still. Why no hub? With hub. POGO with a train conductor on the hub, and the hub wires with a USB connector. Connectors and fees to the hub to take such a miracle of Chinese engineering. That is at the stage of fitting photo

So you have to make the hole bigger, and don't use a hub, so I guess he means 2 contacts? And then something about that this Chinese stuff is good. ^^

Don't work turbo boost at 2ghz

I have a problem whith the tablet. It only works at 800mhz and I think turbo boost don't work.

I've seen in youtube a video where apeares the bios and in cpu configuration, advance, cpu speed put 2000mhz in mine only puts 800mhz...:crying::crying:

Is it possible I have some parameter wrong in bios?. Can anybody help me to configure it well whith all the parameters of cpu.

I have the original bios and the tablet works with windows 10 and I bought it the 11-11.

Thanks very much and sorry for my bad english. :(

Hi folks, finaly I'll get my Cube I7 Stylus from the 11.11 Aliexpress sales.

The device is now at customs, should be arrive soon. That means it is time now to build the copper DIY Heatspreader Revision 2 from Wootever.:) as discriped here

I strugle with the size of the 2 plates. Have anyone the exact size in mm/cm for me?

TXS
[Windows 8 General] tsytsman:
He was saying that he cut the holes with some kind of drill and filed them. With regards to hub, he soldered hub input to POGO cable, POGO sistops working after this. It is possible to make it work again, by soldering POGO cables back from the hub output. There is a speculation, that it is possible to get D+ and D- from 3g connector and power from POGO. This way everything will work. BTW, they have confirmed that the second WIFI antenna connector works

Yup, looks like you have a newer revision with a changed USB hub controller. For the loose ribbon cable maybe you can try to wedge a piece of paper or scotch tape on top of it to make it a tighter fit (as I believe that point of contacts are at the bottom of the connector and the cable).

Hello guys.

Im interested on this Tablet, and I saw it on gearbest at 258€ ( I can't post the link because of the 10 messages limitation)

Else where, it's at 306€ minimum. So can i trust this announce on gearbest, or do you think I will receive a fake version of the tablet ?

thanks guys, and have a good weekend :) :good:
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
You won't receive it, i had to ask for a refund (opened a Paypal Reclaim, avoid to use their poor support center. They said me that the item was in stock but they had to process too many orders...) because GearBest was still processing my order after 10 business days.

Date of Order: 20/11/2015

Paypal Reclaim opened on 02/12/2015

Date of Refund: 09/12/2015

Avoid GearBest!

[MENTION=5426526]sickedboy[/MENTION]

For now i can only recommend Banggood, it gets very reasonable with the 10% app coupon.

I also didn't noticed any issues with fake tracking numbers or delaying tactics.
[Windows 8 General] sickedboy:
Oh, thanks pal! And sorry for what happened to you.

Then where did you buy it?
[Windows 8 General] tprata:
That's what i paid for mine, but care about extra charges. With shipping and handling, plus conversion rates, i ended up paying 360€ for it. I did receive mine from gearbest, original and working, but their support isn't the best as mentioned. Still, they did return about 20€ due to pirated windows, after about 5 emails complaining/negotiating.

From what i've seen, they get worse than usual on promotion days, and they tend to sell more than they have in stock, and try to hide it after the fact. So buy only during low stress days, because they usually send everything, eventually
[Windows 8 General] sickedboy:
[MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION]

OK thanks, it's at 304€,not that much expensive,and if the customer service is better, it worth to put more money. [MENTION=7079804]tprata[/MENTION]

Oh really? Which delivery service did you use? Standard one or express?

I read also on banggood that a lot of person received a pirated version of Windows..

They gave you back 20€, and did they give you a new Windows key?
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
I've bought multiple items from them in the past year and for the most part they have been fine, although I had a similar experience to yours when I tried to buy a vi10 but had no issues with the customer support (cancelled order, refunded, bought an i7 stylus then ended up buying a vi10pro as well shipping via dhl from china relatively quickly.)

But I would agree that looking at the page here I'd say if you attempted to buy at the €259, they may leave the order as processing for a while, or they might be out of stock... not too sure why it's at that price other than it being Win8.1 pre-installed, maybe they are early models with chinese windows installed (with langs. hacked) but personally I don't see that as a disadvantage (as it's just cause to try and get further discount/refund).
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
I've bought multiple items from them too, but this time they made me waiting too much. Also, another package (second order made the same day) has been shipped and arrived with some missing items. I'm now waiting for another refund. I can't trust GearBest anymore. :/
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
He also built an heatspreader out of two 0.8mm copper sheets, the cuttings are well set and the outer shape looks very polished. Well done.
[Windows 8 General] tprata:
I think it was the express, but at that time express was cheaper than standard (weird i know). It came with w8.1, i just updated to w10, and it activated fine. After that a reinstalled w10 from scratch, it activated online without problem. By that time I was already emailing them on principle, since I believe we pay for the license at that price range. So no extra key, just the "free" w10 update, and 20 bucks in store credit. Bonus: the store credit counts as store points as well, so with the points i had from buying the tablet, plus the credit, i ended up buying the hardcover and stylus for about 8$
[Windows 8 General] oeriel:
I've also bought from them many items. Also mine Cube i7 Stylus. All was fine, despite stain on screen. Repaired by sucction cup. Till now, everything is ok.

They have some delays, they sometimes sent items by flat rate and parcels were gone. Everytime it was lost, they resend it to me. Communication - sometimes fast, sometimes I have to wait few days, but always ok.

I have margin for buing from them. Some time I have to wait untill they send it. Other tablets, which were in stock, was sent very fast. And those, which I've ordered, and was delayed, they write me that I have to wait (or refund, or pay to price of other tablet).

My Cube was sent in a week time. Patience, and all will be ok 0:)

It was exactly the same in same place. I've seen many people have it also. I think it's a box problem,, because tablet i positioned screen to top, and back side is to arrange the cardboard, the tablet comes up to the edge of the box. And if something lay on it, it causes such sticking up.

I've done it once, and this never come back again. Just do and forget.

If the seller says the fake pen is more expensive, tell them you'll send it back to them and they should send you the cheaper original pen instead and they can keep the difference in price. They can't complain, you are exchanging the supposedly more expensive item to a cheaper one :)
