Question :
I have a GoCube digital Rubik’s cube and it works great !
I hadn’t used it for a long time, so I even had to reinstall the GoCube.app. All seemed okay at first, but when I saw the (picture of) the cube in the GoCube.app one layer was in a different position in the picture than in the actual cube. Restating the app didn’t solve the problem. Niether did disconnecting the cube from bluetooth and reconnecting. I can’t beleive my GoCube is broken… this must be a software problem…

Is there any way tho get the GoCube.app and the physical GoCube cube back in sync ?


Answer :
Yes, there is !
To get your GoCube.app back in sync with your physical GoCube cube, do this :

• make sure your GoCube cube is charged (it doesn’t need to be ‘solved’)
• keep your GoCube cube next to your iPhone
• open the GoCube.app on the iPhone
• in the window that opens, below the “LOGIN WITHOUT A CUBE” stripe, there should be another stripe with “GoCube” (or the name you gave to your GoCube cube) in it
  –> if if the stripe with “GoCube” in it doesn’t appear, move the physical cube closer to your iPhone and check if Bluetooth is switched ON on your iPhone
• then, tap on the “GoCube” stripe
• now, on your iPhone “Connecting” will appear, then the actual cube will light up and on your iPhone you will see your personal Account with the “Quick Timer”, “Solver”, “Stats” and “Cubing” buttons beneath it
• then, click ont he Avatar&List-button (top-left)
• when the pulldown menu appears, make sure thet “3D Tracking (IMU)” is switched ON (blue slider to the right)
• then, just below “3D Tracking (IMU)”, click on “Load Cube State”
• if your physical GoCube cube is in ‘solved’ state, you can now try clicking the “Load Solved Cube” button and your problem might be solved
• if that doesn’t work, or if your physical GoCube cube is not in ‘solved’ state, you need to recreate the color patern of all the sides of the physical cube on the image of the cube inside the GoCube.app
• you can do this step-by-step :
• make sure the same middle tile color is facing you in both the physical cube and the image
• then make sure that the top and the right middle color are in sync
• then click on a color in the curve of coloured dots and then click on all tiles on the front face of the in-app image that have that color on your physical GoCube
• repeat this for all colours, until the pattern of colors in the in-app image is an exact copy of the pattern on your physical GoCube
• to color tiles on a different face of the in-app image, you need to click on the triangular arrow at the right of the GoCube image : it will rotate after each click, in a loop of Front face (white centre), Right face (blue centre), Back face (yellow centre), Left face (green centre), Top face (orange centre), Bottom face (red centre)
• when you have made an identical copy of the physical GoCube’s color pattern in-app, click the blue “Load Colored Cube” and you your problem should be solved : your cube and your app should now be recalibrated and in-sync with eachother
• if you happen to still run into the out-of-sync problem, just repeat the above and try again

That’s it !

enjoy 😉
