This is capacitive stylus, forget about using it as WACOM stylus enabled tablet, won’t get the results.

Just contact the store you bought it from, saying it stopped working and see where you get with it.

Try holding the power button a little bit longer, at least 5 seconds.

Yes, the “original” tempered glass they sell is not 2.5D.

Unfortunately, it also does not come with alcohol wipes etc to prepare the screen for application.

No, the buzzing sound occurs notwithstanding whether charging or discharging. I actually think it is more audible when unplugged.

I can’t say about the shielding. Not eager to open the backplate if I am going to return the tablet.

With the same exactly Windows Version, i.e. same driver version, the previous two units had no trouble recognizing the MicroSD card.

This is just a mess.

the only thing I actually like about this tablet now is the small gap between the outer plastic/glass and the actual screen…it reduces reflections significantly, also the somewhat reduced glossiness of the display contributes to that

After spending some time with the tablet I am seriously disappointed.

1) The left speaker is really buzzing, especially if the volume is anywhere over 30% and when viewing video it usually has to be much higher

2) The USB 3.0 port on my tablet does not actually support full usb 3.0 speeds….it has a limit close to 35-37mb/s max
I tested an external HDD on both the USB 3.0 port and the USB-C port and the results are
– USB 3.0 Port: approximately 37mb/s
– USB-C Port: almost doubles to 67mb/s
This is disappointing.

3)  The Samsung 32GB MicroSD card that I had tested and found to be working on the previous i9 units I received, no longer works on this one…
…it has the 5.11 bios, by the way…

4) 4K read speeds of the SSD are between 9-11mb/s, while on the previous units it was 20-35mb/s

5) Wifi is significantly weaker….will be 2-4mb/s slower nine out ten times I test it and its not as steady either….this again in comparison to the previous units too.

The Cube i9 seems to have lots of quality issues, i.e. divergences per unit
– screen defects
– speaker issues
– lower wifi speeds / lower signal
– USB 3.0 port speed
– MicroSD issues

I am quite discouraged from trying out Cube again…don’t know what’s up with Cube or with the i9 tablet production, but I won’t be choosing them for my next tablet.

I don’t want to sell it and let somebody else carry the burden, and I have already paid ~20€ to send the tablet back to China the last time (the first time the cost was covered by Paypal Refunded Returns)…

If I spend another 15-20€ for the shipping, will I be receiving a proper functioning tablet then? I am not at all confident

This is strike 3 out of 3…
– First had screen defects
– Second was heavily used and worn
– Third is having speaker / USB 3.0 port / MicroSD / Wifi issues

Can’t really put my frustration into words…I spent a full year’s points on this tablet too…

Have you tried it?

I purchased the aforementioned one after somebody here, I believe, argued it works.

 

By the way, Notebookcheck.net has a fresh review of the docking keyboard CDK07 of the Cube i9

I am waiting for a replacement, sent on the 31st of August by Banggood.

I had ordered on June 16th, however

1. The first unit’s screen had defects (bright spots) so I returned it.
2. The second unit they sent me was a USED and WORN tablet, with scratches and bumps on the side…shamelessness on their part.
3. I do hope they have sent me a new one this time….not too optimistic though, I have to say…will be opening a dispute straight away, though, if that is not the case.

…it should arrive by early next week the latest.

I am tired of this tablet already with all this fuss, before even getting the chance to use it more than a 3-4 days overall…
….I am already thinking of selling it as new (also got the keyboard) as soon as it arrives and wait for an updated 2017 version instead (with Wireless AC hopefully)

 

Why are you asking?  Are you expecting the newer, updated version of Windows installed?

Would be great to have, because the update eats up a lot of space and I don’t want to lose the ability for a proper clean re-install
(with the Cube i7 Stylus after I installed the newer Win10 update and deleted prior versions, I could no longer get a proper full reinstall, for some reason)

Just a word of caution for those looking for a usb-c to hdmi/usb3.0 out accessory

– I had purchased such an adapter from an Ebay Seller called “9enjoyshopping“, this device here on late June.
somebody in here or xda had posted a link to it at some time, so I thought it would work.

– Since it had not arrived 40 days later, I opened a Paypal Dispute, to get a refund.

– The Seller then Claimed that he shipped a second unit to me, but did not provide any proof of shipment, saying that the sent it with no tracking.

– I felt embarrassed I might end up with two of these units, so I let the deadline to dispute escalation slide, effectively closing the case, without getting a refund

– Very soon after that – too soon for a Supposed second unit to arrive from China (under 10 days) I received one of the adapters.
…I tested it, but it did not work….not only did not output hdmi from the Cube i9, but it even failed to transfer the power that the tablet provides through its USB port, to a HDD drive I connected to the adapter.
…basically the adapter was useless, since it couldn’t even be used as a port converter for USB-C to USB 3.0

– I contacted the Seller and provided video evidence for the problem, but he kept evading, never refunding me.

– Of course no second unit ever arrived, the Seller had probably lied. And he did not sent a replacement either, after proving to him the adapter did not work

…moral of the story
1) Do not buy from “9enjoyshopping” (same store as “newfrog”)
2) Don’t ever trust overseas Seller to behave responsibly, if they are not obliged to do so.

[vgiozo]

I can’t recommend it yet, because I just bought it and I’m expecting delivery, but for reference purposeses I bought this one….its 12V 3V…

…the same store sells a 12V 2.5A, but I thought I better get the higher Amp. one, just in case the other falls short or has a hard time providing the rated amperage
