Really odd one....if I turn off the to and turn it back on, it looks like the hub is back at the boot screen....but it's not, it's still in kodi as I can hear the audio as I step around the menu?
I'm using the libreelec build posted on here.
No major issues aside from I have to hard reboot after every time I turn the to off!

I bought the wetek hub I based on what I've heard here and because my odRoid c1+ had died. It arrived today and it looks very smart.
In the back of my mind is to install wrxstasy llibreelec build but until the SD card arrives I thought I would give the android out of the box experience a go.
The userability is awful, after booting being a google account holder I wanted to log in, trying to identify where the cursor is is almost impossible. You have to activate e mouse pointer and then laboriously scroll around e screen entering log in names and passwords.
When you try and use the play store you will pull your teeth out!
I'm sure at I will get this sorted how I like it but my first impression from a non technical standpoint is this device is a mess. If I gave one of ease to my mother and said don't worry I it is just like your phone she would be raging at me down he phone.
Apologies if I upset anyone but this device on the face of my first few hours from user point of view is shocking.
Sorry rant over.

You can speed up the mouse a bit by going to Settings -> More settings -> Input -> Mouse speed (or something like that. I'll check when I get home from work)
It's not great after that, but a bit more usable.
One question. Can you modify the home screen? I mean change shortcuts etc.
edit. And btw, kodi 17 is Alpha 2, not Beta 2

I am using my mele f10 right now, since I purchased it at a cheap promo action for a future TV device.
It is much better.
Even after reading the review about the remote... I wasn't ready for this experience, thought it can't be that bar.
Thanks for the Infos about the storage app, I will take a close look later. Right now it works with the tutorial of the NFS wiki page.
The question where I will find the network storage was, where do I have to navigate?
Will it be a folder in /mnt/sdcard/?
Or in /mnt/?
Yesterday I haven't succeeded with this, even if the green dot was present in front. Or I haven't found the folder ?
But I got it working inside kodi itself.
If Kodi 17 won't work right now with Amlogic, why even include it and most importantly... Put it on the home screen?
I will definitely change the shortcut to the wetek player.
Is long clicking with the ir remote control even possible?
While entering my password for Google I tried to long click on the keyboard (d-pad selection) and it just typed many letters in the field.
Haven't tried it with mouse selection.
In the first post it says, free delivery....
I ordered inside EU, Germany to be precise, and had to pay 10€ shipping.... There is no free delivery...
One last thing,
The remote setting you can turn on or off the right next to the Bluetooth setting...
What does it do?

After a good few hard resets and the unpleasant remote (also very bad IR range with full batteries, fully charged eneloop AAA) and Android/Netflix experience i decided to return my HUB, me and even more importantly my wife couldnt live with the handling of the HUB compared with the Shield what we also have.
If you ask me i hope that Wetek in the future can give us the option to run Android TV and include a wife friendly remote, then i would really reconsider a new Wetek device.

Well, if you actually looked into any of this instead of expecting to be spoonfed, then you would have seen how easy it is to install the Android TV version of things like Netflix.
I don't mean to "blame the customer", but from your other posts you were clearly looking for a problem to exist even before you got your unit.
