This obviously caused complains by users.

IMHO Bluetooth keyboards or gamepads /klicker are better alternative. Currently demand for USB host mode on Onyx devices is quite low. Until now I got probably not more than 3-5 requests for it. In case it will be really demanded I could ask for special series with enabled USB Host.


Concerning upgrade to Android 4.4 - official upgrade for Max is in the work and should be available soon. I am going to upload first beta release in ca. 2-3 weeks
I've counted at least 7 people on this only thread (me included)!
@Jayjee, @Wong McGregor, @joblack, @xtech, @deb2016, @jlark, @huyggy.

Not counting so all the people with a Boox Max who didn't know this thread/your post.

If this option is still buggy, at least make this option available (with a warning about the potential drain on the battery for some devices maybe).

Is that a software or hardware restriction?
