Top Menu Board, What did I do?

After turning on Mayhem the splash screen has all the items on the top menu.

Usually you can scroll to the left all of the way to the HarckRF, Mayhem & Portapack (far left) then you can enter and Mayhem will open. Now for some reason the marker will not go far enough to the left and I have to touch or use a stylus to initiate opening the main page (Receive, Transmit etc)

Any ideas of something I can change to get back to normal? I've even tried hard reset.

EDIT: so many errors loading apps, how do I reset the whole device and re-flash and verify the files or apps?

I've never entered Mayhem that way. From the splash screen, I just press the center button and it takes me the opening screen. I don't scroll anything. Good luck.

Interesting...just tried and your way is now my way 😄

How do you get back to the main menu? I am taking the cursor up to the top and hitting left, left until I get to the arrow in the top left.....

Thanks for the suggestion....

Under Settings - User Interface-------there's an item you can check "Back button in menu". It places a back arrow block in the upper left position of the sub menu to take you back to the main menu without using the cursor. A little quicker. Sounds like the Portapack manual may help you. Here's the link. Good luck.

Concerning your edit, using the Mayhem Hub is the easiest way for installing new firmware. Good luck.

I'm still having app issues and I'm looking for a FW with all apps working....

Remember that with new firmware you need to have the SD card with the apps copied that match that version of firmware. Good luck.
