[Completed] Bluetooth not switching on on new Android boxes....

Hello there,
My brother bought a few Android boxes similar in spec to these models.......here
He bought quite a few of them rooted with his own branding on them and had his own firmware sent to him.
I was wanting to use one for XBMC which works great and for a retro games machine and this is where i am having a problem, i bought a g910 gamepad to use on this android box and switched on blue tooth but the switch immediately switches back to off.
I remember having this problem a couple of times with custom roms on the phones i had and it was usually sorted out with a fix from a developer.
I am hoping the Chinese suppliers that made these machine will send him my brother a fix or an updated firmware but there has been no reply back yet.
I would like to ask you gurus here if it is possible to fix this problem myself?
Could i use root explorer or something to repair the blue tooth problem?.......the firmware is currently on 4.4.2
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks:good:

Hi!
This is a tricky thread. Its kinda vague to be honest. You've said devices "similar" to....custom firmware someone created...etc.
You may need to be far more specific for decent advice, and obviously using the factory firmware may be your only solution. The custom firmware obviously has bugs.
All that said, here is where you should ask about devices that don't have their own section....

[Completed] [Q] Chinese android

Hi folks!
I did have a nose around and couldn't find anything to help me out in the forums.
I bought a high spec, low price android phone from China. Specs are fine, android isn't. Thinking this would be any easy fix, I was wrong so far.
I would like to have an international version of android including Playstore. The machine is a weiimi. Under the battery it states jielutong k6 amongst a lot of Chinese characters. MTK6572, android 4.4.
Would a ROM work at all or do I need to learn Mandarine?
Help is much appreciated!
Regards,
Bas

Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. The problem with these cheap Chinese phones is that there's virtually zero support for them, both from the manufacturer and here on XDA. You could try your luck in the general section but your chances of succeeding are very slim. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it's just the way it is.
Here's the section I suggest you ask your question in:

[Completed] Deciding on a new phone...

Hey folks,
As of now I'm a Nexus 5 user and it's been the best mobile phone experience I've had in years. I'm switching to a new carrier with the option of an upgrade and checking out if there's any better options out there or if I should stick with my device. I was looking into Nexus 6/6P but that's been a mixed bag, so not entirely sure. I will not consider moving to Apple, and I do like getting my updates straight from Google. I'd consider getting a device that I can easily unlock and flash a ROM (unlocked bootloader only). Any suggestions? The LG devices seem to be getting really good reviews, but I'd like to hear some real world reviews on this other than a website person using it for 2 days.

[Completed] I want to upgrade my phone software, but do not understand this site.

I recently was given an Android watch as a present. My phone is a Casio Commando 4G. I know it is several years old, but I really like the phone. I heard it was possible to upgrade your phone with a custom rom. I need to upgrade it to Android 4.3, thought if were possible to run Marshmallow, I would like to consider it. I do not know if my phone can handle any of this, and I'm fairly new to this sort of thing, so I may sound quite adorable in a negative sense. I do plan on buying the Cat S60, so I am just trying to squeeze life out of my phone until then. Any advice on roms will help! Thank you.
