45 Mbits on http://www.speedtest.net/

Nice. On windows wi-fi status what speed does it display?

I think i solved the problem after reading some articles on the internet. A lot of people are complaining about the same interference issue on some well known brands of laptops and some have found that USB 3.0 norm is the fault of poor wifi connections, as it makes some signal noise around 2.4ghz band interfering with wifi signals. After reading this i went to the kitchen, grabed a small piece of tinfoil and wrapped it around of my western digital 3.0 hard drive cable… Without the tinfoil my cube could only see 2 or 3 wireless networks available but after wrapping the cable i could see all the networks around my apartment (more than 12) and was able to connect to my home router. So the problem is not on the tablet but on the connecting cables of existing/older 3.0 hard drives that might have some NON SHIELDED cables. Try to replace them and see if it solves the problem of poor wifi signal. Regarding speeds i think 45Mbs is the maximum this wifi card is able to connect… Any solution on how to improve this would be great ?

Do you mean 45MB/s or 45Mbit/s ?

Its those things that make me hesisitate buying it. I want high speeds on my lan. PS4 remote play, ftp over wifi. Right now i am on 802.11n @150Mbits/S

Can a NGFF wifi card be used on the free slot?

Pffff 🙁

Guys what is the maximum speed you can get with wi-fi? If i get this right, the wi-fi module is connected through USB 2.0 and thats the reason for low data rates?

For the edge swipes of the touchpad, I’ve found a workaround in Gnome Shell: just unmap the corresponding keyboard shortcuts (in my case, mainly Win+d to show the desktop for the top edge). The touchpad edge swipes are directly sent as a keyboard event to the system, as if it was done with the keyboard, so it’s not possible to filter out just the touchpad, unfortunately. I guess it’s the same for Windows 10.

So completely disabling the touchpad would be solution #2 :-/ Does Screen multitouch work with linux? For example scrolling down a site with two fingers?

Ah ok then! I am still digging this, trying to find info about zorinOS,ubuntu touch, native android and remixOS on the i9

I solved the accelerometer issue: there was a little fix to do in the kernel’s driver, and in iio-sensor-proxy as well. For the kernel, the issue is that the kxcj9 driver doesn’t recognise the hardware because its ACPI id is not what is expected. Adding “KIOX000A” in its list solves that. (here: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/61e2c70da9cfc79e8485eafa0f98b5919b04bbe1/drivers/iio/accel/kxcjk-1013.c#L1429 ). I’ve proposed a patch to the kernel, but it certainly won’t make it before 4.8. Then, there is also a patch to apply to iio-sensor-proxy, because the latter has some hard-coded values for the id of the accelerometer. I have also proposed them a patch to fix that.

 

Thats good to know. Have you tried to install MacOS X on the tablet ? I ve seen it run smoothly on cube i7 (except wi-fi and card reader). The i9 GPU is supported but i dont know if the digitizer is going to work

Can you place phone calls with a 4G card ? Some of these also mention GPS. Is it going to work?

This one for example

Thank you both for your answers. Regarding daytime use, i meant to say if it is usuable for example in an airplane during a daytime flight.

Thank you both. I am still thinking about buying it, to replace my n2820 toshiba laptop. I just think its a bit overpriced. In this price tag i would like to have the keyboard as a standard and maybe a laminated screen (not to mention the copper mod)

[darksnoopy]

Hey guys i am really interested in buying this tablet. Can anyone confirm if the power-saving-state bug is fixed with linux 16.04 ? Or with the testing kernel ver 4.4.6-1 ?

Thanks!
