Anyone has a idea why in tablet mode keyboard doesnt pop up automatically despite its activated in settings?

And also any idea to fix the rotation....tile is locked...
[Windows 8 General] dreamer_:
I'm posting because I have found a very nice video speaking about every chip of the tablet:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EG_qTg64IQ

My interest comes in the minute 17:54, where we can see the wifi + bt module. As you can see it's soldered but the module is not part of the main mobo. It can be easily replaced for another one that fits in that interface (SPIO?) .

There's even also another empty slot that the talker says that seems that it could be perhaps for another wifi in a different format

So the wifi + bt is somehow removable with (few) soldering skills (the pins are wide enough to do it easily)

Looking for the RTL8723BU, there's a link here: http://wholesaler.alibaba.com/produ...363866580.html?spm=a2700.7724857.29.21.S2sjLX

With all the pin-outs very detailed. It's an alibaba link, but it's worth a look because it has all the information that we need. Every pin is detailed. So, if this interface is somehow standard in the world of the laptops and tablets, it's very probably that the card could be replaced for a better one.

As you know, the tablet is near 100% osx compatable (even the stylus works): http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-laptop-support/169035-potential-hackintosh-core-m-tablet.html . We are just missing some few things like the wifi card.
[Windows 8 General] ahmed1994:
Yes but i cant find chip uses SDIO usb interface with other chip only the rtl8723bu which is not compatible so i am thinking of implanting small mini usb wifi adapter like (Tp-link Tl-725n) and connect it inside tablet by keyboard pogo pins
[Windows 8 General] fewt:
I still think that we just need to find the right magic incantations to get it to work, there are drivers that have support for the chipset for OS X but they kernel panic the hack when they're loaded. I haven't figured out why, but I'm sure there's someone smarter than me who can figure it out if they take a few minutes to look at it. :) There are a few entities out there that claim that chipset is supported on OS X but none that are shipping drivers.
[Windows 8 General] ahmed1994:
Yes as long as there is linux driver i think there will be mac drivers but it is hard way and unfortunately i don't know much in programming only basics and i am busy with college and exams
[Windows 8 General] mjk1238:
I have really bad problem I think. Today, I connected powered usb hub to my tablet with 3 usb in it(pendrive, keyboard, mouse). When I connected last device(pendrive) a smoke has come out of hub. I disconnected everything but now my tablet is not turning onl. Also my pendrive is not working. Keyboard and mouse are fine. The cube i7 was turned off when i did this. It now only react on power cable. The red led is on when I connect it as usual. What can I do now? is it possible that this hub was some strange chinse **** and it burned my devices?

edit. I noticed that keeping power button for loner time and than turning on led is glowing for couple seconds and disappearing so it looks like sceeen is broken?

edit 2. Reset button does not help as well. Tried to connect by hdmi to tv to see if it is screen but there is no signal at all.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:

In his case the device does not react to charging. Mine does, the red led glow. Does it change something?
[Windows 8 General] whatblackshirt:
So my tablet can't charge over 11%, it just stop charging. I took the tablet apart and replaced the batteries as I tough that could be what the problem was, it seam to work for a while, i could charge it and drain it ( never went under 50% ), I try to charge it again after it was drain completely, but now it wont go over 11%.
[Windows 8 General] baxtex:
Don't know if my Windows version just crapped out for me, or if it's the tablet's fault? Last night I had a Windows process eating up all my cpu power. I killed the process, but it just came back. I googled and found out that is probably just updating or something. So I left it on over the night. Now when I woke up, the screen was black, but I could use my mouse and move around in the void. I force killed the tablet with a hold on hte power button and then started it again. It took quite a while, then I got the same black screen with the mouse pointer again. I waited 5 minutes more and I get a message dialog saying the "tablet driver is not working", whatever that means, then it took maybe 5 minutes more for it to boot and now the tablet is extremely slow.
[Windows 8 General] baxtex:
Tried that Version 8 beta 7 too, my CPU is still unsupported.

Edit: After some reinstallation it seems to be working, but now it says the beta has expired instead. Damn, this program seems impossible to get installed properly.

[Windows 8 General] seaniccus:
I've been unable to find one as well. Seems the only real option is " an adjustable voltage, 2.5A ac adapter with a 3.5mm output plug or tip converter
[Windows 8 General] vienly:
This is what I am going to use:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC-Power-...-to-3-5mm-x-1-3mm-Barrel-Output-/291233870040

As far as I understand, it doesn't matter how high the power adapter ampage is, the tablet will only draw 2.5amps max, so it should work in theory....
[Windows 8 General] buzz86us:
How do i use EasyUEFI to boot it? My #1 boot order shows as Remix OS which one do i hit to get remix to boot with an absent USB keyboard
[Windows 8 General] DrHunt:
1) Yes, your theory is correct. You need to get a adapter at least rated at 2.5A, bigger A is ok.

2) It is a DC3.5-1.5 DC plug, outer diameter 3.5mm, inner diameter 1.5mm

3) You want to pick a decent adapter; the one you pick looks good. When you get it, use a digital multimeter to check whether it's output is 12V +/- 0.6V

Try Wootever's driver's package at 1st page of this forum.

If still the same, try this. Other said this driver was ok for cube i7.

http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds039726

If still the same, then I think you have a hardware issue. Try to replace/re-route the wifi antenna inside cube i7. This, 1st page of this forum shows you how.
[Windows 8 General] 11zeno11:
I've already tried all you said with no result. Eventually I tried to reinstall windows and now everything works like a charm. I think I messed up something when I first installed the driver linked in first page.

The last problem I have are:

1) My wacom pen (the one with red rubber sold with the tablet) writes before touching the screen.

2) When I detach the keyboard my tablet don't automatically switch to tablet mode.

3)touch input stop working from time to time and it came back only if I press windows capacitive button

mine has some similar quirks for example when i turn it on from cold start touch doesn't work until reboot

Guys, anyone knows if the hdmi port can output analog signal? Some laptops can use a VGA adapter from the mini hdmi port, without the need for signal conversion, I'm wondering if we have that option. I know it's old technology but someplaces only have VGA cables for presentations, and analog converters are expensive
[Windows 8 General] mznk:
I have used a mini HDMI to HDMI to VGA converter and it worked absolutely fine on my i7 stylus. You can try that.
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
There is some settings in sound that help a bit. Loudness

enhancer or something, I also installed a realtek driver pack (I'll try and find it) that added more options and helped things a bit.
[Windows 8 General] tprata:
Just the adapter or did you use an actual converter?

Because HDMI is digital and VGA is analogic signal, most of the times you need a little box to convert the signals and those are expensive. If it's just an adapter or simple cable then the tablet has analogic output from the hdmi port which is great
[Windows 8 General] DrHunt:
Yes, the video player VLC could set volume to 200%. But I never did try this 200% (the most I tried was 120%), because if they meant to design it to work at 100%, 200% could just potentially have the speakers damaged.

By the way, anyone have used 200% in a long run, and no problem?
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
Not sure where I downloaded it from but should be the same as the driver here

[Windows 8 General] nealed:
Hello, I am wondering if someone might help:

I have two issues: I'm not sure what caused this, but it may have been a forced power off. My Cube i7 Stylus will no longer turn on if it is not plugged in with the AC adapter. When it does turn on, the battery icon is empty, but if I click on it, it is charged 100%. It seems related to the BIOS / firmware. When not connected to power, I press the button to turn on, the rid LED lights up for a few seconds, then the tablet powers off. Sometimes (but not always), if I unplug the AC adapter once windows has booted, the tablet stays on. I thought I had fixed it by holding the rest button down, (at first boot windows was reporting the battery charged at 100% correctly and it booted without AC adapter) but the problem came back after rebooting again.

I had this issue in the past, and re-flashing an older BIOS worked for me. However, since flashing the 5.8, I don't seem to be able to flash any other BIOS. I would also need to find the older versions of the BIOS to try this, but there are no links to these in the OP.

In trying to fix the issue, I have flashed the 5.8 BIOS Modded. I have also tried changing BIOS settings, and tried resetting again.

Now my reset button no longer works, and in changing some BIOS settings I have managed to put a HDD password in the BIOS. However, after flashing the BIOS again, the password is no longer recognized (it says wrong password).

So my questions are:

1. Where can I download different BIOS versions?

2. How can I flash BIOS bin files while I cannot boot windows?

3. How can I remove the HDD password lock (I can boot the tablet with some tools to be able to clean and re-initialise the HDD, as long as removing all HDD partitions will remove the HDD password) - is the data stored on the HDD itself?

4. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix the root problem of not being able to use the tablet without AC adapter.

Thanks in advance for anyone that can point me in the right direction for these issues.

[Windows 8 General] mznk:
It is an actual converter, which I bought for around $4 from Aliexpress. Including the mini HDMI to HDMI adapter.
[Windows 8 General] ttyk:
Hello. I'm new here. Never thought that this tablet has that big community. I have couple questions, that i tried to ask to manufacturer, and basicly they told me to go f**k myself.

I'm would be very pleased if someone could help me with them.

1. What is that blinking of the screen when you hold + and - volume buttons.

2. What is exact pinout of bottom 5pin keyboard connector.

Also who is using what for drawing on that tablet? I'm kinda stuck with Photoshop and SketchBook, because they are only ones, that support touch input. I tried many many more apps, and didn't quite found any. Even good ones, like Mischief, PaintStorm, Kira, SAI are very annoying to draw with, because of that lack of control.

Hi.

Thank you. It really made the trick. I have the 11,6 i7 , not the stylus.

Tprata i use a HDMI to VGA converter which works perfect in some tablets i tried.

Only costs 5 dollars in Ebay and have the analog audio out. Is little and doesn't need external power. The converter includes the necessary circuits to make the digital to analog conversion.

This is possible via the efi shell, extract those files to a usb stick

If this password is set by the Bios, you probably need to erase the bios flash storage.

Is it possible to boot into windows?
[Windows 8 General] w0dash:
But what do they mean by "AMD support"?
[Windows 8 General] HypoTurtle:
They are probably trying to say it runs on 64bit CPUs (x86_64 is technically AMD64 architecture).

Hi Wootever,

thanks for your reply. Cant boot into windows as that is the password protected hdd. without the password cannot boot from it.

I'll try the efi shell flash, I thought there was a efi shell built into the UEFI BIOS of the cube i7 stylus?

I cannot get to this before the weekend but will let you know. Thanks again

Hi nealed,

I think your problem same with me.

I do not accidentally set password protected for SSD (In BIOS).

Currently I can not boot into windows and always show to input HDD password.

I have already request support from seller but no solution.. :(
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
Indeed, the efi based FPT can re-flash the Bios on the efi shell.

Copy the files to a USB storage, boot into the efi shell and enter:

map -r

You can see all mapped devices, one of them should list your usb storage (it's probably fs2 or fs3):

fs2:

Re-flash the bios by typing:

fpt -f bios.bin

Verify that the flashing process ends correctly and reboot your device.

Hi,

I've just used the AMI EFI firmware flashing tool to update the tablet to firmware 5.8

I initially got the error message "18: Error Unable to start a secure flash session".

I then tried again with the /gan switch... The firmware flashed O.K. but the tablet was bricked on reboot.

I can recover by flashing the chip with a programmer... but obviously, not everyone has one of these..

(clarification: I used: AfuEfix64.efi 5.8.bin /gan )

Sorry, how does this HDD password-locked thing come about? Under what circumstances are we exposed to the danger of having it locked / protected from access?

Hi,

[Windows 8 General] fewt:
Are you using Wootever's 5.8 BIOS found here? If you are, set your TCC value back to 0 and use the Intel Extreme Tuning tool to set the Turbo Boost Power Time Window to 1.5. It will get much warmer before it throttles. Undervolting and throttling don't lend well to gaming, but are good for battery life. You should see a decent frame rate increase after that, I know I did. I haven't had to do any other mods, and I've been able to play Metroid Prime @ 60FPS with Dolphin.

3D Printed Dock

Hey guys,

so this is my first post here on xda, but I've followed the thread since a few weeks. I've got my i7 stylus since a few months an I'm really happy how good it actually is! I can work with Photoshop, Illustrator, After effects, etc. and if you want a versatile piece of hardware, this thing is great! Now I would rather go with the Cube i9 or the Teclast x3 Pro, because these pack more punch, but I'm still happy with this device. I'm also glad, that there is a community for this tablet.

This said, there are a few things, that I'm missing: An angle-adjustable keyboard and a docking station. Also, there is a lot of potential with mods as seen with the wifi antenna mod, SSD switching and heatsink mod.

Since there are not a lot of accessories out there, and you are quite limited to what you can buy, I said to myself to build a docking station for myself.

At first my plan was to 3D print a dock, that will make use of the POGO Pin Connector at the bottom for a USB hub down there (as seen in the official keyboard).

Plan A:

Then, I thought, that this would be kinda poor, just to have 2 or 3 Full size USB 2.0 Ports in there. So I thought about adding a usb soundcard (for headphone, etc.) and an ethernet port as well. The problem with that might be, that the ethernet to usb 2.0 adapter can only output a slow 100mbps, due to usb 2.0 write/read speeds, while the WIFI 802.11 n could have 300mbps (if the antenna is replaced). Never the less, this might help people with bad wifi reception or without the option of wifi.

From the design, it would just be a box, that has a cut with the POGO connector in it (like on the keyboard in a 120° angle) and with nobs and magnets to hold it in place. Maybe it would be foldable, so that it's smaller and more portable. So the Dock would feature:

USB 2.0 Hub (2-3 Ports)

100Mbps Ethernet

Audio output

Plan B:

I was browsing around the web and looked at the Surface 3 dock from Microsoft. I would try to use all the ports on left of the stylus, so the dock would feature:

Charging

USB 3.0 Ports (at least 2 ports, maybe more) - Coming from the side

USB 2.0 Ports (at least 2 ports, maybe more) - Coming from the POGO

Full Gigabit Ethernet

HDMI output

Speaker output (maybe even a small stereo speaker, but depends on design)

Pros Plan A:

Cheaper (30€?)

Easier

Smaller

Pros Plan B:

Greater speeds

Charging

More of a complete package iykwim

So my question is: What do you guys think? Any thoughts on that?

Of course I will make an instructable on how to do this and I'll provide the 3D Files.

So thank you for reading and I hope to hear your thoughts and ideas.

Best Regards,

go2dark
[Windows 8 General] ahmed1994:
Wow that's great idea and you can add mini wifi adapter thats compatible with mac os x

Or add extra battery in the dock

Or add adjustable angle feature (don't know how)
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
Probably when i get my Cube i9, Skylake/Broadwell is pretty well supported by linux.

To fix the standby issues it will probably need some workaround/overhaul for the android power management.
[Windows 8 General] go2dark:
Adding a 3rd party wifi adapter would not be bad as an idea, but I can't think of a reason, why you would want to build it inside the dock? You could just plug a USB in. Not very different, what I would hack myself.

The battery pack might be an idea, but that really does depend how big the dock will get. Also a dock is more of a stationary item, that would sit on your desk where you usually have power. But i could try to add some sort of modularity to it, so people, who want a more portable solution could have that with a powerbank attached to it.

The adjustable angle would be great. I'm building a portable LCD monitor atm (Old 15.6' laptop screen with driver, battery, speaker and kickstand) where I use old laptop hinges? They should be sturdy enough for that job.

When I get home I'll start sketching some things and maybe think how to achieve all that within a cost range of around 50€. That sounds realistic atm. It does depend on how many prints I've to do.

Thank you for your input.

Best,

There might be another possibility, the Cube iWork 10 Keyboard is pogo pin compatible and very similar in size but uses a different mounting method.

The keyboard pins need to be cut down to fit the i7 Stylus case, although stability could be an issue:
