Hey just wanted to update, still can't get my SDXC Sandisk's 128GB SD card to work, tried formatting it externally to NTFS, changing the drivers, deleting unused hidden devices from the device manager, disabling trusted platform module 2.0, installed Intel's chipset 100 drivers, updated to the latest modified bios.

Still no success, seller told me the device doesn't support 128GB cards, I told him that's not reasonable since his own sell post mentions it supports up-to 128GB cards and it's been reported to work via other owners... Think I might open a dispute against him for false advertising to get the money I paid for the SD card back..

What's more annoying is that it works great with an 8GB card, the device is clearly operating, it also rarely mounts my 128GB card, as everything works properly, just doesn't stay that way..
[Device Reviews and Information] QtKiguis:
Since I updated the bios (see first post) I have no problem with the memory card. And it is sandisk 128gb. You have tried to update the bios?
[Device Reviews and Information] tkato:
Already updated to the modified bios, versions 1.5-1.8… which one are you using
[Device Reviews and Information] Cebees:
Been digging thru forum for a while, any success story of LTE modem with extra unused M2 port?
[Device Reviews and Information] QtKiguis:
From the bios 1.5 works for me ok. Possibly it works from previous versions but when I bought the sd card. Now I have installed 1.8

If it does not work maybe it is an incompatibility of the sd card. I have this
[Device Reviews and Information] tkato:
I have the same one, bought it in a big chain shop. so it's 100% real..

I think the bios is working as intended, when I go into the settings for the SDIO I can see it acknowledges the presence of the card, giving me the name "SL128".

Currently I'm thinking there's a driver issue somewhere..
[Device Reviews and Information] tkato:
can you perhaps give me the drivers that are installed on your pc, this tool might help https://sourceforge.net/projects/drvback/
[Device Reviews and Information] tkato:
OK, so I managed to get it slightly working, I'm not sure exactly what I did that enabled it to function, I installed the 1.9 bios, did several cold boots, and now when I turn on the PC it still don't get detected but if I re-insert the card it suddenly pops up, tested it with like 10 resets and it seems to be working consistently like that, also confirmed it stays when coming out of sleep and hibernation...

Cube should really get their act together and release some kind of fix for this controller, I just hope it stays this way for now.
[Device Reviews and Information] akileos:
Hey there,

Did you find a way around ? This is my only issue with the tablet and couldn't find anything to get rid of those gestures.
[Device Reviews and Information] mnemix:
No, sorry, it seems it hasn't solution. The only way is to disable keyboard gestures, this keyboard has specific W8 gestures embedded in its drivers, but I don't know how to disable it.

perfect. I'm glad it work. Anyway my tablet controllers are the first post. I reinstalled Windows and use the same.

@Wootever, I installed this weekend DIY Heat Spreader simple mod (link)

that recommend limits for XTU? 7/15W or admit something higher?
[Device Reviews and Information] Wootever:

Personally i'm using 6W, 7W+ creates a lot thermal discharge which can't be properly dissipated without heatpipes.

can we enable Virtualization Technology (VT-x) with cube i9 ?

in cube I9 bios is there a option to enble Virtualization Technology (VT-x) ?

i want to use duos android, i did try it with chuwi Hi12 (and i was able to enable Virtualization in bios) and it was working great ..

if anyone have cube I9, can you please check bec i want to order one if Virtualization Technology (VT-x) is present in bios

thanks you
[Device Reviews and Information] Soliloquy:
Yes, VT-x is present and enabled. Also, Amiduos runs very well; tinkered around with it while I was messing with RemixOS and Phoenix. It does run the warmest of the three, though, so I'm waiting for Remix to fix audio (the only problem I encountered with RemixOS; everything else works fine).

Hope that helps.

Hi there,

I just got a new Cube i9 from AliExpress (SoCube), but the touchscreen isn't working now that I reinstalled my own version of Windows 10.

I tried to block Windows Update after a clean reinstall and only use the drivers provided in the OP: everything's working fine until I reboot. Then I get a Code 10 error on my I2C HID Peripheral. Tried many things but I get no result.

Is that an error on my part or does somebody knows how to fix this problem?

Edit: found the reason. I was using modified BIOS. Flashed the latest original one and it's working perfectly. Is there a way to keep the touchscreen working using the latest modified one? The Intel logo is nice... ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] Wootever:
Notebookcheck.com review is online.

Some of the disadvantages can be fixed:

The Windows Capacitive Button requires a Touchscreen Update

On the modified BIOS i fixed the PWM frequency to avoid flicker

They also noticed the infamous coilnoise, which unfortunately seems present on all devices.

[MENTION=7516885]Gvrthz[/MENTION]

Please try Modified Bios 2.2, it might fix this issue.

Hello Everyone

Im planning to buy this tablet but looking at recent review at techtablets dot com i see chris

I just read the Notebookcheck review myself and the PWM issue troubles me, otherwise I am kinda sold buying the tablet (sent my i7 Stylus back for early battery wear and now they have no stock so opted for a refund)...

...Is the flickering really that bad?

By contrast, the Chuwi Hi12 does not have the PWM issue....but I've been reading about so many issues with the Chuwi lately, I am discouraged of trying it out...there is also the DUAL OS (with REMIXos) coming out soon.

I know these are very different tablets, but a tablet with sub-par Screen is problematic.

Have you tried latest bios? I read if fixes wifi disconnects...certainly some problems with the newer dual os version...but I won't get too much into this, because it is a Cube i9 thread.

Regarding Cube i9, how many owners find it's screen tiring, because of the PWM issue?
[Device Reviews and Information] tkato:

[Device Reviews and Information] Wootever:
Link for more information about PWM from the Original Post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66399260&postcount=71

And a possible solution for the PWM flicker: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67227920&postcount=222

Small explanation:

The Video BIOS Table includes different profiles, by default the PWM frequency is set to 200hz.

But Cube has also customized one of the profiles to fit the requirements of the embedded 12.2" display (Resolution, EDID values and PWM frequency).

Unfortunately they haven't set this correctly customized profile as default, it uses one of the non-customized profiles instead.

This issue was fixed on the modified BIOS:

* Adjusted Video Bios Table:
-> * Fixed panel selection (Panel use the correct PWM frequency now)
[Device Reviews and Information] Dunkish:
So, im really close to buy this device now when its a sale... been looking on the i7 stylus, but 64 ssd it abit low:(

i was hoping it just was enought to do a factory reset, but, do i really need to flash the bios? i guess its for removing spywares and stuff that might exists? or why do you guys do it?

im a real noob on stuffs like this,

been watching techtablets videos( btw awesome work u been doing on all vids)

, and that looking real hard.. have never done anything like that :)

will prolly be able to get the heat sink to work.. but the bios.. might be another story!

thanks in advice!
[Device Reviews and Information] vgiozo:
Thank you for your answer.

Have you actually increased the PWM frequency? Or the customized setting by Cube sets it higher by default?

I heard the new samples come with the updated bios, is the problem pertinent to that bios as well, do you know?

Not dismissing your work at all, but personally I would be too hesitant to flash a modified bios to a 350+ euro machine which does not even have local support....generally not too "handsy" with my tablets (since I lack the knowledge).

[Device Reviews and Information] Wootever:
Unfortunately not yet, but any USB C charger with 30W+ should be (theoretically) working.

It is not necessary, but can fix / improve some of the issues on this device.

Advantages are:

Increased performance by elevate TDP

No PWM Flickering

Updated Intel Management Engine

Updated EFI drivers

Updated CPU Microcode

Neutral Bootlogo

Fixed Battery information

BIOS is based on a more recent version [Cube V11 (29.05.2016)]

Possibly other (unknown) fixes made by Cube

@ Users of the modified BIOS that encounter issues with the HDMI output on the USB C hub.

Please try if this version can fix those issues.

Regarding the USB-C to HDMI output, those of you who have tried and found it not be working

- have you tried multi-port/function hubs like this one?

- OR simple USB-C to HDMI adapters like this one?

I've only seen reports about multi-function hubs...perhaps this may be where the problems lay? I read in one ad for such a product that Windows only supports the hub (usb) functions, not the video-out.

I'm guessing this may be the problem, and not Cube releasing various revisions of the Cube i9 which fail to output video.

Ok, now I am really itching to get a keyboard for this tablet...I have two candidates in mind:

1) The CUBE CDK07 Keyboard designed for this device; really good price now on Gearbest (55$)

2) A Lenovo Thinkpad Bluetooth keyboard; I just adore the trackpoint, on those and the keyboard is top notch...price 82$

The advantage of the 1st would be its particularity/modularity to the Cube i9, making it quite fitting package...

The advantage of the 2nd is exactly it's non-particularity to any specific tablet, i.e. I will have a premium keyboard for whatever tablet I am using at the time...

Can't make up my mind...so what's your opinion?

Hi guys,

I've recently bought an i9 from Gearbest. Work quite well, except for the phantom win key presses.

I've downloaded the FT5926_UpgradeTool_V1.0.1.8_20160201 tool provided by Wootever, and did the steps from the Belarusiian forum (twice). The tool said "Pass", but the issue is not resolved. Is there anything else required ?

Or is there a way to disable the win key all together? That would be ok for me too, but disabling the entry in device manager does not help.

It's so annoying to watch the menu pop up all the time!

Comment on CDK07

I thought of some things that you might want to consider while choosing a keyboard for your Cube i9.

I have the keyboard designed for the i9 and two things that I miss with the keyboard are the fact that the keyboard is not backlit, and the fact that the trackpad works quite poorly. My previous laptop was a Macbook Pro mid 2010 so I might have pretty high expectations..

But something that you will be missing out on which is nice with the CDK07 is that you fold it up in front of the screen which adds protection for the screen while you transport your tablet. You can also store the tablet facing down (and thusly resting on the keyboard) on your desk. A somewhat nice feature is also that the tablet will notice when you disconnect the keyboard and you can have it set to automatically switch to tablet mode. I like to have this enabled in case I want to read a book or comic on the tablet.
