Oh and is the new update on iOS yet?
FAQ:
Why do I get a DNF in battle even if I finished first?
- Sadly, it's because the connection between you and Gan's server is weak. It happens not because of your WiFi speed is slow but rather your distance to China is a bit too far. We have found that the further away you are from China, the more likely you encounter this. According to @Olivertam , Gan 356i's oversea sales manager, they are planning to set up servers in other countries to solve this problem.
If the problem occurs during algorithm training, be sure to wait a few seconds after completing the algorithm for the orientation to reset. I have a V1, and that took a minute for me to figure out after I was drilling algs and my cube kept "not registering moves". As for timed solves, I would reset my phone and charge the cube fully and try that, if that doesn't work the best option is to contact Gan or whatever retailer sold you the cube.Hi all
I recently bought a GAN 356i V2 bluetooth cube. Rather frustrated with it for 2 reasons.
1. I cant adjust it. The writing on the nut is so tiny that I find it impossible to read even using a large magnifying glass. Also I find it virtually impossible to press this down and turn it at the same time. There is not much space there and there is no tool for it. My main cub (GAN 356XS) is much faster and the 356i I am finding very slow in comparison. My times are nothing great yet (35 - 60 seconds) with a PB of 31.58 but I got the bluetooth cube to try help with drilling algs and work out what I can improve on. I was also told by the place I bought it from to not use any form of lube on a bt cube.
2. Regularly there are moves that are not being registered. I get the solve complete but yet the timer is still running and the graphic shows the cube as incomplete. I use cstimer. This is intermittent. I might do 50 solves where I have no problem, then it might happen for the next 2 or three solves. Very frustrating.
Anybody else having the same issues?
Thanks
Richard
Is this still in the pipeline? The battle mode is practically unusable 90% of the time. It's frustrating to get many solves DNF'd, and waiting all the time really kills the flow.
I don’t think replacing the magnets is possible without some breaking into the cube. You just need to use your nail to pick up the center cap. It’s no different from other cubes.I recently bought 356i Play. Unfortunately, for me, the magnets are too weak. I prefer very strong magnets. I would like to replace the magnets with stronger ones, or add additional ones. I can't find a video anywhere on how to disassemble edge pieces and corner pieces. The individual elements sit quite tightly, I would not like to use too much force so as not to damage something. I couldn't even remove the center caps. Have any of you seen any tutorial?
I always solve white cross and so when it initially tells me to scramble I have to do an X2 to orient it correct. Then if I look at my solve afterwards it doesn't register the X2 and just solves it as though I'm solving cross on top. This isn't good for me to analyse the solve. Anyone got a workaround?

Brand new cuber here, and just picked up the 356i v2 yesterday. I did do a search, but could not find a couple things:
That's it for now! Thanks for any and all help!
- Should I "turn off" the cube when I'm not playing with it? Or just disconnect it? I did see a post in this thread about not leaving it in the charger all the time...
- My iOS App is asking me to download some new (beta?) release of the Cube Station. Worthwhile, or risky?
- Is there any fan guide to the Cube Station app? I'm not clear on how to use Algorithm trainer, for example. The app refers to the cube on the left vs the cube on the right? I only see one image. Then it tells me to use algorithm to get it to the state of one of the cubes, then solve it? What algo do I use? Am I supposed to just put it in that state from my own memory, then "solve" it? I feel like I'm missing something here...
I never turn mine off. I always leave them on charger.
The beta test is to sample the new version of the app before it gets released. You’ll have the new version soon either way.
the Alg trainer.... gotta mess around with it. Go slow and follow instructions and you’ll figure out what it’s asking.Sometimes is confusing when cube doesn’t go back to solved state. If so your just practicing the moves themselves, and not worried if it’s solved.
not sure if this makes sense.
