So please wait till the update will be released.

A bit gutted that a premium priced device which is advertised with Bluetooth 4 capability doesn`t work or is not tested. I wouldn`t expect that from a £30 china special. O.K. will take up with support..

I had the bluetooth problem, returned the T8-S PLUS it has been returned and the bluetooth appears to be working now, however I cannot get the bluetooth controller to work on games that worked on the T8-S. Most disappointing. ... However I believe it's not just the bluetooth, it maybe Android Lollipop 5.1.1. I was also concerned that there is no access to the Andoid status bar or buttons, available on the T8-S, this is also a big letdown as it makes multitasking almost impossible, I have tried several other launchers with no sucess. It has been suggested that I may change the operating system to android 4.4.2... awaiting confirmation of this....

There used to be a switch in the t8 display settings if you wanted to see the android tool bar. Is this now absent on the t8s?

I've found not having access to the task bar a real pain also!. Maybe they should sort that. Can't be bothered to return mine. I just use the controller via USB to play the games I've go on it. Out of Interest, have you tried the controller on USB with your games?

It's gone! Or burried so deep that I cannot find it... Was told that it was not supported by tech support... Awaiting response back either about downgrading or return... Love my T8-S just not enough memory for games as well as media, hence getting the T8-S plus, but not impressed.

Tried usb controller but it does not work on Real Boxing... The game I wanted to play... Can play it on my T8-S but not T8-S. Have tried controlling with my Note 3 via apps but limited success, two apps looked promising but as soon as I transmitted from my phone an error message came up telling me that Google play services had unfortunately stopped. So wasted some money...

Dadlington, do you get any issues with switching unit on/off with the I.R remote supplied? I.E. sometimes I have to press power button twice to get the unit to boot up even if I'm an inch away from the box. Then most of the time, when I switch off with the remote, it reboots instead of shutting down. I have to wait till it boots again then try again lol.

Not noticed that problem... but have come across another strange thing... when I type into play store to find a game on the 3rd or 4th keystroke it goes back to the home screen. .. Looks like another reset....

P's what games have you played with usb controller?

Hi

When it comes to google play,please clear data!

When it comes to gamepad,you can use micro USB cable to wire it up and use it as a wired gamepad.

Status bar not being able to turn on,we are trying to find a way around in it.All feature are accessible through the keyboard shortcuts.

Games can be played through emulators lile PPSSPP(PSP emulator)and game itself can be located on external HDD,and only emulator app data on actual internal memory.

When it comes to android games,weather all gamepads will be compatible or not,that actually depends on the game developer itself.

If you need more info,please feel free to reply!

Regards

Most people that use status bar like multitasking feature.

This is accessible through the keyboard by holding alt key and pressing tab while holding it!

Now depending on box model and keyboard that you use,options that you have may vary ,but still its accessible through the keyboard.

For specific example

X7 box model have in status bar screenshot option,in order to do this without the status bar,you would need to have the keyboard that have print screen key on it!
