On the official forum of the cube, it was the first time that it appearedinformationabout differences in versions of H, W, etc.

Panda also commented:
Now we do not have U30GT in stock. I do not know which version we will get.
Cube announced in imp3 the difference between U30GT-W and U30GT-H:The serial number of the U30GT starts with the U30GTXXXXX. The letters after U30GT indicate only differences in production lines or tablets with different components. They have no differences in function and quality.

Other special statement:
1. According to some rumors U30GT-W or without W, the prototype of the tablets. This is not true.
2. The following products come with serial number U30GT-T, H etc. Firmware for them is different. You can download the firmware by serial number on the official website.

Problem with youtube app

• When playing a video through the YouTube app, the video is downloaded for 1-1.5 minutes and stops
  
• When playing a video through the YouTube app, there are delays at a certain interval. It just stops playing and there is no caching until you flush a little forward. Then the video goes and after a certain period again sticks.
  The problem is related to the application itself and is solved by removing the current version of youtube.apk and installing a specific version of the application. Proven and working normally:YouTube_4.0.23.apkandYouTube_v4.1.47.apk

sell.1975,To avoid this, you need to power the board not from charging, but from the place where the battery is connected. It takes about 8 volts (charging controller gives a tip)

Thank you threw 8 volts from bp to heels of the battery, youtube jump stopped

[TimurZ]

Can I use a USB cable from CUBE U30GT Mini for charging or is it dangerous?
He is at 5v 2A, in our 3.7v.

[Cold]

TimurZ,
No USB cable can be charged. For charging, you need a voltage of 9-12V and connect it to a round connector.

[TimurZ]

I meant this cable.

Generally looking for options to power the cube in the car.Is it possible to file 12v from the cigarette lighter directly?
A solution was found, a usb-power cable from the u30gt mini + connector in the cigarette lighter = power + charging of the cube from the on-board car network.

[Gideonprime]

People, nobody ordered the screen? Cracked in the corner, where it crushed.

[Fusionsteel]

Does anyone need a cube for parts or restoration is not needed? Lies for about 3 years without cause. I tried to figure it out, but there was no time, and then the desire was gone.
When downloading goes into the bootlap. I stitched a couple of times, immediately after the flashing it was launched, but then again a cyclic download.
It was replaced by a battery at a higher capacity due to the swelling of one can. In general, if anyone is interested, write LS. I will send in Ukraine.

Hello. Did you cure the tablet? Brought with such an iconbit nettab thor white ver.3 same problem mirrors horizontally

[Jemby]

The tablet has long been buggy, but working. The child uses it for not difficult games. I stood on the charging clock 5, was discharged and hung on the time of disconnection from the network. The screen is lit and does not react to anything. Advise what to do.

[Mift]

In such cases, just hold the power button for a long time to turn it off, well, then try to turn it on

[jimsonweed]

Good day to the owners of the subject, I have this tablet for a long time, at some point stopped turning on, VOL + power responds adequately, you can flash any firmware. When you press power, a logo appears on the display for a few seconds, then it is cut down. I asked the firmware company Android BOX - the same thing, it comes to recovery and is cut down. As a tablet, I do not plan to use it, can I forcefully activate it on a constant (turn on without a battery and when I turn on the power so that it starts). As I understand the problem with the power manager there is no some kind of power good signal. Visually, everything is normal, there are no swollen and burned-out parts, the battery is charging normally, there is only a normal start.
