Getting out of "about mode"

Hi

I really need a good answer because it is driving me mad. I am not a regular EOS user but I do a couple of shows every year. This is normally no problem as I find the console very intuitive.

But there is one thing: The way you get out of "about mode". Every time I have to exit About mode for the "first time". I hit the About key and expect to get back to the browser again. Then I hit Tab, Flexi, Format etc.(not the company, the so on and so on kind of etc) randomly and harder and harder as I start thinking about throwing stuff. Then after pressing help+about and screaming for teen minutes that the help function does not explain how to exit about mode I call a friend or google for teen minutes and cry some more until all of a sudden i hits me "DISPLAYS". And then I change my pants and get back to work.

There are a couple of solutions to my problem as I see it:

1: Placing a sticker on the DISPLAYS key that says "EXIT ABOUT MODE" as that is all i´m using that key for. But sometimes I am on a PC/mac with a gadget and then I would leave stickers on peoples screens and not make me very popular.

2: Get a tattoo that says [PRESS DISPLAYS WHEN YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF "ABOUT MODE"] on my arm. And if there is no better solution i´m doing that.

3: Understand why hitting the ABOUT key for a second time does not simply "collapse" about mode and bring back the browser.

I sincerely hope that someone can help me out of my despair and put a smile back on my face.

Kind regards

  • Hi,
    Not 100% sure why you want to 'exit' about. Just leave it on as long as you need another display. If you want the browser, you hit display-browser. Depending on the console (I'm on an ION, so,am not sure about Gio etc), you need it more often than you do, for example for accessing the patch. But actually hitting about a second bringing you back to ur last screen might be a cool feature.

    You can also collapse the CIA if the displayed info annoys you.
