    What about the Release Notes for v47 (.0.0.263)?
    Got it within the release channel... (nonPTC-)Desktop-App stayed with v46(.0.0.230).

    Found something from yesterday:

    New Meta Quest Update Adds Background Audio Playback, Mixed Reality Capture, Shareable Wishlists, and More (oculus.com)

    Got another Update to 47.0.0.266 and now I've got "arms" 😉
    Don't know if I like that, schould be optional.

      alright I'm bored so ill just give every feature i noticed in the update a rating
      avatar hands in home: 2/5 sound good on paper, in practice wastes battery life, and breaks immersion due to the avatars being generally clunky and widely disliked.

      messenger app: 1/5 i don't like my headsets space being wasted by apps ill never use.

      meta quest move overlay re-haul: 4.5/5 no real complaints, i actually like this one, far more pleasing than the original.

      things worth noting: I've had issues with 2D apps after the update, that's it really.

      Ok, we're supposed to be able to pin apps to the universal menu.

      How is this done?

      Hands and arms need work. If the left controller is inactive for a few seconds the left hand "lets go" and the controller floats on its own as before. Move the left controller a bit and the left hand grabs it. Kind of lame watching the left hand drop away and grab out again repeatedly.

      Ok, this hands and arms business needs lots of work.

      I took my Quest 2 off to take a break and eat some lunch. I put it back on and the hands come up in hand tracking mode even though I have the auto-switch disabled. As a consequence the controllers aren't showing in HMD and I have to tap to pass through mode to locate the controllers.

      There doesn't seem to be an option to disable the hands and arms.

      How can I go back to v46?

      I also want to express my desire to disable the new arms. They look and feel terrible and I much preferred the ghost hands. Please add a toggle option so we can go back to just using the hands.

        I hope they will make this switchable in the upcoming patches and updates. This avatar looks really inappropriate and laggy in terms of IK

            Nobody is asking "you" whoever you are, to test this, or answer this question. This is a question to the community as a whole, NOT you as an individual. You have other concerns, fine! They are NOT my concerns, neither are they my question - so please address your concerns elsewhere!!!

            I can't use my headset because with the new update link cable does not working fine! Now I see that this v47 is a beta and this problem on v46 there wasn't. All new updates of firmware, as of today, were official version and not beta! Nobody asked me if I agreed with the test of v47. Thi is the real problem!!

            I haven't received any reports of Pro controller working with Quest2. I've seen reports that it didn't work. Even though Pro controller support is listed in the v47 update. WTF.

            I have heard it from one source that it could be a sequentially rolled out feature, working with some that have V47, and not others, and that it will be added in time for launch on the 7th, but this is just one large Youtuber, so second hand information from someone supposedly at Meta. It's pretty ridiculous to be in the dark as we are. I have purchased the pro controllers for Quest 2 for £300, and I have no idea if I will be able to use them come Wednesday.

            I have quest 1, was working perfect up to v.45, After forced v.46 update headset takes 6 minutes to turn on, and apps crash a few times before they work and take a couple of minutes to start, PTC updated to v.47 but still the same problem, did factory reset which did not fix anything. This problem had also occured v.39- v.42. And v.43 fixed everything.. thankyou

            Why color space setting was gone? Still app library filter / sort setting are missing.
