    I came across an Easter Egg I think, & a search of entire site I didnt find this mentioned..

    While trying to fix the broken "weather" feature on main screen I accidentally found some sort of TEST screen. at least thats what the LABEL calls it.

    **1) HIGHLIGHT the APPS category on main screen...
    2) then TAP/PRESS the MENU button 3 times.
    3) just wait about 1-2 seconds & a black screen with various system values appears! unfortunately half of it is in Chinese but you can still see all the values in numbers & some English..

    Just surprised to find this & thought I should share.. Can this be of any use & more importantly, I wonder what OTHER easter eggs exist????

    in addition, you can change some of the values on this screen, with buttons or using the MOUSE pointer to select underlined categories..
    *using newest firmware

    did you ever fix your weather app? mine stopped working too, asks me to pick a city but doesn't respond to any city regardless what I do. I thought the new firmware update might fix it but it didn't help any, also the help wont load either, just says "failed to load"

    Akamolik;
    It didn't work for me either initially. I did install some 'helper' application that kinda worked. BUT, it really lame at best. Thre very limited info on the home screen is mostly useless anyway, I uninstalled that application.
    Just another 'gimmick' that clutters the home screen that the Chinese seem to think it's a plus. :rolleyes:

    Nice find, let us know what else you find about it. How about a screen shot of the page opened??

    Don't go arbitrary changing values when you don't know what they are! :oops:

    YES... The firmware update after my initial post and all the successive ones have fixed the WEATHER app problem..

    As far as the "mystery screen", I haven't used it since posting.. If someone can't get it to work I can try to screenshot if wanted..

    BTW- I will make a separate thread, but has anyone noticed that INTERNAL .srt subs (muxed in a mkv) do NOT offer the same features as an EXTERNAL .srt.. I don't know when this changed, because a few firmwares back an SRT subtitle had the same features whether it was INTERNAL or EXTERNAL... This has changed & is annoying as subtitles without an "outline" or "background" are very difficult to see against many scenes.
    pls advise.. thnx.
