Please follow the instructions displayed on the cube screens, and in the mobile application.

If your Cube shows same as on the photo - it is in slow charging mode (due to a deep discharge) and can sometime not automatically switch to the normal charging.

It it stays in the slow charging for more than 1 hour - try resetting it with the dock-station 'reset' button.

If the 'Try again' option does not help, perform a reboot of the cube by placing it on an unplugged dock-station
  
==If the Cube shows "Module Error"==
 
First of all, when there is a Module error on the Cube - always reset the Cube with the dock station (because from this state the Cube will no longer respond to new loads. and in the mobile application we currently do not have the ability to manually send a cancel of this state, but plan to add it in later releases)

* go to another location and try again (try to exclude radio-interference)
 
  
Error codes '''5''' or '''6'''
+
No worries - this is the expected behavior after performing a factory reset on your WOWCube.
* very rare errors, and in theory a reset of the Cube with the dock station should resolve them. if not, the situation will need to be studied separately with the development team
 
  
Error code '''3''':

After the reset, the cube is temporarily missing a mandatory file with platform resources, so you need to re-install the firmware as instructed on the WOWCube screen.

Error code '''4''':

If, for some reason, installing the firmware update fails from this state, reboot the cube by placing it on an unplugged dock station and waiting for 10 seconds, and try again.
* Insufficient memory on the cube. Free up memory by removing some installed applications.
 
  
Error code '''7''' (appears only in the mobile app):
 
* You are trying to install an application while another application is already running on the cube. Go to the main menu of the cube and try again.

If the Cube does not start

The Cube does not start on twist - it is either discharged or is shut down

Solution: place it on a charging station connected to a power source to turn it ON.


Not all screens lit up when I put it on the charging base

half_modules_start

Most likely some of the modules got deeply discharged

Solution:

  • Let the cube charge for 10 minutes
  • Press and hold the button on the charging station for 5 seconds
  • Wait for 10 seconds to let the charging base reset the cube
  • The cube will restart with all modules booting up

If the Cube shows an Error

Please follow the instructions displayed on the cube screens, and in the mobile application.

Also, you can try restarting the cube and/or the mobile application.

What does Internal error (2) mean ?

Error-2

It means that the process of installing a game or a firmware update has finished with errors or has been interrupted, and you need to re-start the process from the beginning.

Normally, you will see the corresponding error message in the mobile app with the option to Try again.

If the 'Try again' option does not help, perform a reboot of the cube by placing it on an unplugged dock-station


I did a factory reset of my cube and now it says 'Firmware error. Corrupted assets'

corrupted_assets

No worries - this is the expected behavior after performing a factory reset on your WOWCube.

After the reset, the cube is temporarily missing a mandatory file with platform resources, so you need to re-install the firmware as instructed on the WOWCube screen.

If, for some reason, installing the firmware update fails from this state, reboot the cube by placing it on an unplugged dock station and waiting for 10 seconds, and try again.


Cube says Firmware Update Required

One or several of the Cube modules have reverted to the factory FW version or have not updated to the latest FW version, and hence not in sync with other modules.

FW_update_required

This can perhaps happen when the FW update process has gone wrong on a particular module

If you have faced with this - use the 'Restore Firmware' button in the Firmware section in mobile app, it will reload the latest FW from the server to your Cube, and so all modules will have the same FW version again.


Can't login to mobile app, it's got stuck at Loading screen

loading_at_login

Solution: most likely your mobile web-browser is blocking opening external apps, so you need to disable the corresponding option in the browser settings. Here is an example of such a setting in the Microsoft Edge

edge_setting

My Cube catches/jams

Ensure that your Cube is properly tightened, avoiding excessive tightness or looseness. Use a cross-head screwdriver to adjust the Cube tension, focusing on the 6 screws, each located in the center of every Cube face. Clockwise to tighten and increase tension, and vice versa.
