So my prophecy v3 diamond arrived today and wow its just stunning . only issue is trying to access the font change by twisting twice while holding the button is extremely intermittent and very very hard to do .It just seems completely random when it will decide to do it . Batteries are fully charged and i copied emory exactly as he does it in the tutorial video . Anyone got any issues with this or any ideas ?
Not sure if I already replied on another thread. But, one thing I think gets a lot of people: After you are in the menu system, when you twist the saber to make a new selection, cradle the blade in your other hand. At the end of each twist, don't jerk the saber to a stop. Instead, it should slow down smoothly. If you jerk to a stop, the saber will think it's spinning the other direction. It can take a while to get a feel for it, but just remember that it takes some finesse.
Now, for getting in the menu system to start with... you have to hold the button down while you twist clockwise twice. It helps if you have 3 hands. If you only have 2, I still use the same motion - with the blade cradled in my other hand. There's really no magic here, just practice. After ~6 weeks of playing with it, I've gotten fairly consistent, but it often takes me 2-3 attempts to get into the menu.
