    Greets !

    Finally got my A8Js yesterday (I'll post my min review later on).

    I wiped disk entirely, installed everything from scratch and everything is working fine except Bluetooth (actually, he's also working OK but won't stay turned off :) ).
    When I turn off BT via BT button and restart, after restart BT is turned on again although there isn't BT icon in tray (I see BT light blinking and when I press BT button it goes off then) . WiFi stay off until I swith it on via WiFi button.
    I removed BT manager from startup folder, I also checked services but I don't see any service that has something to do with BT.
    Where else should I look for solution ?

    Thank you in advance !

    Try go to start menu > all program > startup
    check and see if bluetooth is in there, if it is, delete it.

    Try there first, if not come back, we'll see if it's in the registry, I am sure someone else will help you on that if I don't see it first.

    Edit, oops, I missed it, you said you check the folder already

    go to the registry by typing "regedit" in run without the quote
    go to hkey_current_user > software > microsoft > windows > currentVersion > run and see if bluetooth is in there, delete it if it is.
    also go to hkey_local_machine > software > microsoft > windows > currentVersion > run and see if bluetooth is in there, delete it if it is.

    As to everything deleting anything in registry is dangerous, use caution and at your own risk
