Just sharing my personal experience in the quest to optimize heat/battery life.

I use ThrottleStop to undervolt a bit, which gets me about -1 to -2 C at idle and under load.

One thing that seemed to give me a great improvement has been disabling Hyper-threading in the bios settings. Now windows only sees two cores instead of four, but I don't really notice a performance dip with the tasks I do. Doing this doesn't help too much with idle temperature, but the max temperature is definitely reduced, during benchmarking could recall temperatures of ~80 C, now benchmarking results in about ~68 C with hyper-threading off.

Having wi-fi on definitely makes the tablet warmer, I disable it when drawing and its not needed.

Disabling items in Device Manager reduces power draw. From monitoring the Watt power usage I can see it go down disabling items, probably helps battery life, may help with temperature. Things like accelerometer which I don't need, disabling does reduce wattage, also some things which you may not think are drawing power do, for instance the SD card reader, even if I don't have an SD card in it, if I disable the device, the wattage goes down.

Thank you very much, i tried your v4 bios first and the performance is better when running Alphast 8, it does not automatically shut down the tablet like v3 bios.

I will test some more games / softwares with your bios v4.
[Windows 8 General] MDaveUK:
If anyone has opened the metal back plate of the tablet, do you think it adds significant weight to the overall tablet? I'm wondering if plastic would of made a difference there. This thing can start to get heavy in the hands after a while.
[Windows 8 General] forcuby:
I have exactly same problem as yours.

Check my replies on this thread.

And, I suspect this issue is due to the "multiple use of MS account."

Are you logging on the device with an MS accout which aleady has been used on the other devices?
[Windows 8 General] remixxer:
Of course. On tab an desktop.
[Windows 8 General] forcuby:
Then, try this. Make new MS account with new mail adress. And create new accout on your device. Then try to install apps from store.

I finally could use Fresh paint and Onenote metro version through this.

However, I still cannot install some apps when I log on with the other account that made an issue before.

I really wanna know the "real" solution of this.
[Windows 8 General] remixxer:
I would like use my main account for the cloud, u know. It s a really strange problem and there is nothing on the NET.

PS i open a dispute Abd they told me:

"Hi friend

Good day.

Hope you can try to understand offical window 8.1 just chinese,if chinese version is ok for you, we can give you chinese key valid, pls kindly close the dispute and give us a positive feedback, ok?

Best regards"

What should i say?
[Windows 8 General] Dezeriae:
If you are fine with the chinese version, by all means, accept it.

I doubt you speak or read chinese though, so if I were you, I would stick to my guns and demand a partial refund to buy a legit windows licence key in your own language. They advertised win 8.1 with multiple languages, not cracked software, so you are not the one in the wrong and the one who should bow his head.

Some people already escalated it to Aliexpress - maybe if you do the same and Ali sees this is not the problem of a few picky buyers but a magnitude of western buyers, they will rule in our favour.
[Windows 8 General] ericlaw02:
I'm interested in this as well, I was thinking if it might be possible to make a lighter replacement back plate with an integrated kickstand through 3D printing. :p
[Windows 8 General] rilot:
That backplate is very thin aluminium. It weights very little at all. All the weight of the tablet is the battery. I'd guess that the backplate weighs maybe 20g at most based on when I took it off.

[MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION]

Your new BIOS settings and XTU settings work beautifully. Temperature is now in check and no re-boots from games / benchmarks. Good work man.

I absolutely love this tablet. Now with the 256GB SSD and a 64GB SD card it good enough for me to do pretty much any task I need to do.
[Windows 8 General] rilot:
Can someone who's still on Windows 8.1 do me a favour?

Does your keyboard touchpad show up as a touchpad or a mouse in device manager? In my Windows 10 it shows up as a mouse and so gestures - such as the 3-finger swipes - don't work.

Does anyone have Windows 8.1 image/iso file? Cannot download it from Baidu, nor register there.. Please give mirror, if anyone have.

Thanks!

or maybe just working drivers for both (front/rear) cameras? Can't download from baidu..
[Windows 8 General] dim565:
Unfortunately, PCB in Cube i7 Stylus/Book/Mix is exclusive development of Cube. I think it's unreal to find exactly this board separately. SoCube (Aliexpress) sell new battery (with PCB) for $40 (price 2016). And I doubt that would be possible to use another PCB because the original PCB board communicates with the tablet with I2C (info).
[Windows 8 General] Isildur89:
I don't find this battery that you say in SoCube, could you write me the website?
[Windows 8 General] dim565:
[MENTION=8053819]Isildur89[/MENTION] You must write directly to the seller and ask what you need (it is desirable to attach a photo and select the battery PCB). By the way, you can ask the seller about a separate PCB. (unlikely, but there is a chance).
[Windows 8 General] peterl30:
How is it meant to be installed? Tried to boot from USB but there are only lots of dots. Booting from CD ... same result. How do I get it on my tablet?

Thanks for your work!
[Windows 8 General] dim565:
[MENTION=7147744]peterl30[/MENTION]

1) Download android-6.0.1-cube_i7-beta1.zip

2) Unpack folder DIST/EFI to disk C: without DIST (C:\EFI...)

3) Go to Win+i -> Update&security -> Recovery -> Advanced startup -> Restart Now -> Use a device -> UEFI OS
[Windows 8 General] peterl30:
Thanks for your answer. But I think I do not really get it. Hope you can help again.

I have so far:

sda1: (fat32 ) = /boot/efi

sda2: MS Reserved

sda3: Win10 on C:

sda4: recovery

sda5 RemixOS on D: - which I want to replace with Android. (there is an EFI folder too)

sda6 Swap

sda7 Mint Mate

So can I copy "EFI" from Zip Folder instead to C: to sda5:/efi ? That would be awesome!!
[Windows 8 General] dim565:
[MENTION=7147744]peterl30[/MENTION] unfortunately, I do not know about sda1:/boot/efi. You can copy new Android to sda5 instead Remix, should work
[Windows 8 General] peterl30:
Thanks a lot!

Grub2Win finds it directly. So now it is bootable via Grub too.

The only problem I have now is that the 2 GB Android disk space (this .img file) seems to be too small. (2 GB?) Is it possible to enlarge this? Cuz it says only 191 MB free left on disk.
[Windows 8 General] dim565:
[MENTION=7147744]peterl30[/MENTION] try this data.img: 8 Gb, 16 Gb

or linux command:

cd
dd if=/dev/zero of=data.img bs=1k count=8M
mkfs.ext4 data.img
[Windows 8 General] peterl30:
Worked like a charm! (16GB) =

Thanks a lot! I will now try to add "android" to grub of linux mint. Cuz I am not really fond of booting via grub2win. So far I get an android logo but no desktop.

I hope I can find someone wit a working grub menu entry cuz it takes a lot of time to check and boot indefinitely :D
[Windows 8 General] peterl30:
I have now the following entry:

Partition is format: ext4

All files in android efi folder are 755

Image file Android 6.0 beta1 for Cube i7 Stylus

Problem: Android boots fine but then halts with flashing android logo. No step further.

With ALT + F1 I can see command prompt. No errors there.

What can I do so that desktop is appearing? What setting could be wrong? (Booting without grub bootloader worked! - but I need grub to load my other os) Thanks!

Added:

I now changed the menuentry to:

and no change at all. No errors but also no step forward.
[Windows 8 General] peterl30:
Found the problem. There was a grub.cfg in the

/efi/boot

folder which had to be removed. I took these setting and mixed them with my grub.cfg of my linux grub2.

Now it works! ONE little problem left: It still says that I have no space left on my device although I have 16 GB on SDCARD still free. How can I give more free space to my android system itself? (system.sfs)

EDIT: Just ignore the "no space left message" (as long as you have enough space left :D)

Thanks to all who made this project work!
[Windows 8 General] ArdAvedis:
I need some help

I've tried the copper heatsink mod but when I tried booting the tablet I found out that something went wrong.

My tablet doesn't boot like not even bios post.

The charging works the red light comes on, cpu gets hot when I try to turn it on but when boot fails it keeps working.

The vibration motor works when I touch the windows button.

Did I break my motherboard or something else can I do anything to fix it?
[Windows 8 General] peterl30:
Did you apply the copper AND the blue cooling pad? If you did - then the pressure could be too high. But I would just start to open the tablet again and check. Could be that it works again if you remove the copper again but leave the aluminum and the blue pad. (Which I did and mine runs fine)

Good luck.
[Windows 8 General] ArdAvedis:
Yeah I removed the copper heatsink and re installed the old aluminum one but still no response.

I also tried an external screen to see if I damaged the screen but no image on there either.

Only things working are the charging light and the vibration motor when I touch the windows logo.
[Windows 8 General] ArdAvedis:
Does anyone have any idea?
[Windows 8 General] baxtex:
Anyone else having problems with wifi? Whenever I put the cube to sleep and wake it up again, wifi is dead. Windows doesn't even find the wifi card. Disabling and reenabling it in device manager does nothing. A full restart is requirered to get it back to working again. I hade these problems before on Windows 10 but they have gotten worse since I installed Anniversary update. I have to reboot my machine 2-5 times a day and it's really getting on my nerves.

Is this a problem with the device or the os? Could it be resolved by changing os to windows 8.1 instead?
[Windows 8 General] locovic:

Is there a possibillity to get working links for the bios update? (wanted to install the modified bios 6.1)

And is there a solution for shorting the pogo pin when plugging the tablet into the keyboard?
[Windows 8 General] mr_lennsen:
Fiddle around with the energy-settings in the device manager and BIOS. I had this problem too, don't know the exact reason.

1. Try the russian forum 4pda(dot)ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=645616&st=2520

2. Some tape around the tablet connector should do it. Although I never experienced this problem, I think the aluminium case ist causing a short when not connecting properly.
[Windows 8 General] Peda1996:
The russian forum just links back to xda, and the link on the hoster has been deleted, but thank you for the second advice, im looking forward to do this.

Now i can comprehend the probem with the shortcut, some pieces of the color are missing, due to that the problem occured.

Cube i7 stylus 10.5 inc has not lte... You mean cube i7 11 inc tablet lte. If this is the situation it was wrong to flash cube i7 stylus bios...
[Windows 8 General] musta1987:
Hi.

Dude, you are right. My device is Cube I7 11". Bios doesn't flashed. I make changes in stock BIOS. I never flashed new BIOS or upgraded. Would make BOOT priorities, after save changes and exit. After this operation tablet PC doesn't switch on. Reset button doesn't help... Anybody can help with this issue ?

If i push POWER button, light indicator show red light. After 2-3 seconds switch off. Display show "nothing" - his black. Charging show green indicator show green light (full battery).

That is my first experience with Chinessian tablet-pc. Can say: Chinessian quality, really POOR.
[Windows 8 General] Virgo Sun:
Base on the symptom it is likely you set the wrong boot device.

Plug in the dock press ESC key to enter bios setup and change back the boot device

BTW or you may plug in a LiveCD Linux USB
[Windows 8 General] musta1987:
Hello. I cannot enter BIOS. Screen is black. After pressing POWER button i see just red indicator (2-3seconds). Display always is black. I try connect via HDMI cable to TV. TV show message "no signal" after pressing button message disappears for few seconds and show "no signal".

:(
[Windows 8 General] Virgo Sun:
May be unplug the battery would reset the Bios to default.

Sorry I am not Bios guru
[Windows 8 General] musta1987:
Thank you! I try tomorrow.
[Windows 8 General] Peda1996:
Try to press the bios reset button for at least 30 seconds. After that, try to reboot while holding down the power button for 5 seconds.

If this doesn't work, try to remove the battery and plug it in after a while.

If this doesn't work, you could try to flash the bios via spi. I found a tutorial for the cube i9 here: https://techtablets.com/forum/topic...-recover-a-failed-bios-flash-or-bricked-bios/

And here a Post for the cube i7 stylus https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62235995&postcount=235

Good Luck for recovering your bios, and next time be aware to only fash the bios if you can be shure, that you have the right model.

Has anyone have this issue: sometimes the Cube running something after shutdown, it is warm all night long and battery discharge itself. A guy in TechTablet discover this and unfortunately I have this issue too twice, especially when the dock is plugged in and a USB mouse or some USB devices are connected
[Windows 8 General] Peda1996:
You are talking about the cube i7 stylus or, because in your signature you claim to have the cube mix plus.

Have you tried to update the bios, i think this fixed my probem? If not, I could upload the lastest version, due to I know that the actual links are down.

If this isn't your probem, you could shutdown your tablet whith holding down the power button!

Are you running windows?

[Windows 8 General] Virgo Sun:
Not really a complete solution because Ubuntu and Sierra have the same issue

The reseller told me to hard press the power button.
[Windows 8 General] baxtex:
So my battery stopped working.

I had used my Cube for the better part of the day, both on AC(ie plugged in) and on battery. When I got home I needed to do some work and tried to boot the device but it didn't work. Funny, I thought, it was plugged in on my way home so there should be some battery at least. I plugged it it, did som work and turned it off, leaving it plugged in during the night. Now today I still have the same problem, the device won't turn on at all when pressing the power button if it isn't plugged in. I got the battery bar application running and it say N/A, not available. The Windows battery notification is gone aswell. This leads me to believe at one of the two following things have happend.

1. The battery is dead.

2. The battery connector is broken.

Now I place my bets on the second option, question is, have somebody else experienced this and been able to repair it? I do have a very good soldering iron available so I can do some fine soldering if needed.
[Windows 8 General] Virgo Sun:
Backlight bleed?

It is warranty?
[Windows 8 General] Peda1996:
I would open the cube up, and I would look if all connectors are still connected..

If you got a multimeter, you could meashure the voltage of your battery and therefore evaluate, if the battery still works.

If you ask me, it looks like some kind of backlight error, but I don't know if this is under chinese warranty. I also don't habe the mix pro, therefore cannot check if I also have this issue.. (on my i7 stylus i havnt got this issue..)
[Windows 8 General] Virgo Sun:
I am located in Hanoi, so it is easier to have Chinese device. I ordered my Mix from this reseller http://maytinhbangwindows.vn/

He is currently in Saigon. So I have to wait him back home.

I just go round with my device and ask some tablet servicemen. They have a look and explain the issue like you said. Something like Chinese devices are generally assembled by hand so it is not 100% assured like as of iPad. It is not a severe error, not a display fault, the reflection panel is not completely covered instead. It is up to me to ask him for a warranty. The device price is not really cheap too. Because I just use it for 2 weeks, I think I should do.

[Windows 8 General] wokawoka:
Hi guys! I just installed Remix OS 3 on my cube i7 stylus and I like a lot this os on this tablet.

It also seemed that everything was working quite well after I made the touchscreen to work with the "rmmod i2c_hid && modprobe i2c_hid" command as suggested on this forum.

The only real problem that I experienced was that the tablet could not resume from stand.by (after having chosen the stand-by function by quickly pressing the power button). Pressing the windows button on the frame of the tablet was causing the motor to vibrate but the tablet was frozen and it was impossible to wake it up.

I know that on this forum some kernels specifically made for the i7 stylus were posted (https://xdaforums.com/android/software/androidx86-forks-uefi-windows-based-t3313744) and even a modified installer of remix OS 2 for this tablet (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66010814&postcount=2834) but I haven't tried yet those kernels with the stock remix os 3 downloaded from the official website.

Do you guys know by chance if there's a way to fix stand-by on remix os 3 on the i7 stylus?

Thanks in advance!

Flashing BIOS with a usb programer

Hello again;

I tried to do a thermal mod to my stylus a few months back and the tablet somehow broke :p

The thing that bothers me is that it still seems to be working on some level.

The vibration motor still works when I try it,

the tablet still charges

when I try to turn it on the led comes on and then goes away and I can hear the CPU whining

I thought maybe if I can flash the bios again it could help but I don't know which bios I should try. I heard there are 2 bios'es my bios chip is not the W25Q64BV insted it is W25Q64FV. Does this change anything anyone have any other ideas I can try.

I really want to save my tablet if I can.

New battery

Hi, I'successfully replaced the battery by an ASUS T200TA's one (http://www.ebay.fr/itm/like/162205364402). It seems to work normally, the higher wattage is detected successfully.
[Windows 8 General] ahmed1994:
i think it is only your screen not working?? because of pressure on it by thermal mods you added try to remove them first

it is 5000mah by 2 cells =10000 MAH

is there extra battery life???
[Windows 8 General] peterl30:
Sorry - I never touched my BIOS. But there are people here who did. They might know which one to choose.

Good luck!
[Windows 8 General] NycoFR:
The original battery is a 7.4V 4300mAh (2*3.7V 4300mAh), which charges at 8.5V (measured with a voltmeter). The T200TA's battery is a 7.6V, 5000mAh (2*3.8V 5000mAh), so it will never be 10000mAh. The relevant unit is Wh, the original is 33.1 Wh, the T200TA's is 38 Wh.

I don't remember the original battery life, but the indicator predict around 5 hours, I guess this is about the same as what I had previously. This is due to the fact that the battery doesn't charge more than 90% (33 Wh according to HWMonitor), I assume that this is due to the voltage difference. Maybe if I can get a 8.5 -> 8.7V converter, it will fully charge.
