problems with usb-c

[Orky]

Hi. I asked this question to Gearbest, my supplier of the Cube i7 Book:

“I bought a USB-C to HDMI MHL adapter, which is not working. Is the Cube i7 book’s USB-C suitable for imaging the screen on an external monitor via HDMI through the USB-c port?”

And I got the following answer from Gearbest:

“Sorry, the Cube i7 book’s not support imaging the screen on an external monitor via HDMI”

Moreover, I cannot charge the tablet through USB-C with chargers up to 2A.

It looks to me that the USB-C port is a very weak point for this tablet.

Hi,

I have no problem to charge my tablet with the Nintendo Switch charger and an Ivoler 75w charger.

For the usb type-c Hub, I got originally the Aukey one and it was awful from day one with a lot of hdmi disconnection & sound skipping during movies.

I got the following one: https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B06XDMFSPB/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don`t have any problem with it since, i tried it on two screens and nothing to report.

My only beef is my tablet stop charging if it becomes too hot, i may do a thermal mod for that….

Thank you for suggestions, I will try the hub you found.

I have done a simple version of the thermal mod (just adding big thermal pad between the piece of aluminum covering cpu and the back of tablet case) and so far I didn’t notice any problems with charging. The downside of the mod is that under stress the back gets pretty hot (much to hot hold in hands).

I just tested the usb-c hub recommended by Bobo (Ricorich hub), but unfortunately it doesn’t work for me – HDMI doesn’t work and tablet isn’t charging. USB 3 devices work (if power is connected to hub), but that’s all. @elbobo did you install some additional drivers or done some configuration?
