    Hi Ryanality  I run into another problem, can't get access to Quest storage files from PC/Mac by connecting with usbc cable.
    my version：
    51.0.0.173.268.463372067
    51.0.0.173.269.463372413

      I can't enable MTP using ADB. 

      "adb shell svc usb setFunctions mtp" does enable MTP and the device shows up in device manager, but not in Windows explorer.  I also need to reboot the device before the standard "Allow access to files" will work correctly.  MTP works fine again when allowing access to the files in the UI.

      I've become so used to using this function because it saves putting on the headset every 5 minutes. 🙂

      Since having v51 on my Quest 2 headset, I'm having issues connecting with USB (sounds like I'm not the only one!). For example, I have a Quest 2 with v47 and I can connect a USB keyboard and use it as expected. With my v51 headset, it doesn't work at all.

      I recognize a lot changed with v51, but what expectations are there around USB support/behavior going forward? Are there different permissions we need to handle in-app?

      Thanks.

      PTC v53 is out on both the QuestPro and the Oculus PC app.

      Pro seems to be working fine thus far.

        Ya I also just got v53 on my QPro/rtx4090 and Oculus PTC.  Seems ok but I have seen a couple of bugs.  I get a notification that it has detected I'm using a dfs wifi channel and this is not the case (using ch36 non-dfs).  Also, for some reason ODT pixel density defaulted to 1.50 (instead of 0).  I changed that back and it seems to be ok now.  I reported the dfs reporting bug.

        Tested with PCVR using Air Link and going in/out of PCVR/Standalone seems a little less cranky.  Also, 200mbps Fixed now works better but I think I still get a slightly smoother result with 200mbps Dynamic and I cannot really see any difference in clarity between these so I'll stick with 200mbps dynamic for now.

        Tested this with a few Rift, Steam, and VivePort apps, including flight sims (msfs and xp11/12) and all seems to be working fine.  No noticeable differences that I can see.  Of course it would be nice if Meta would include release notes on these, lol!

          anche il mio Quest 2 è stato aggiornato alla v53.
          Vidi :
          -qualcosa è cambiato nell'interfaccia grafica dei menu del cruscotto e nel menu di spegnimento
          - le lancette trasparenti sono nuovamente scomparse, le braccia sono tornate (ora sono orrendamente lunghe e grigie)
          - l'associazione dei controllori è diventata più lenta
          -nel menù room scale sono scomparse le opzioni di realtà mista con cui si può aggiungere divano e scrivania
          - nelle funzioni sperimentali c'è la configurazione della stanza MA ANCHE SE AGGIUNGO UN DIVANO E UNA SCRIVANIA NON SI VEDONO PIU' FISICAMENTE, MENO SE NE TRACCIANO.
          LE UNICHE COSE TRACCIATE SONO ARTICOLI SEGNALATI CON ALTRI CHE SONO RIMASTI TRASPARENTI E CHE SONO SOLO VISIBILI COME SEMPRE.
           
          ora in pratica per sapere almeno dove sono il divano e la scrivania devo contrassegnarli con "altro".
          This thing is not good at all.
          Although they were graphically worthless of the gray objects in the homepages, at least they were very useful. now without the sofa and the desk visible in the home screen I no longer have orientation references in the device usage environment.
           
          Ryanality Sei a conoscenza di tutto questo? per quanto riguarda gli oggetti che non si vedono è un bug?
          come mai non ci sono note di rilascio su questa versione ptc?

          So this is where im confused. regarding the issue that Stugabaranda was having about not being able to roll back. i dont understand how its a security upgrade??  one minute my quest 2 was doing just fine and the next systems kept crashing. at first it would just go to sleep and wake up while using the meta browser. My assumtion was that it was trying to update, already had updated, or failed half way through. Im not entirely sure. i just know know after a boot loop and massive errors related my memory exceeding 186mb? that refused to even shut off properly. after the battery had died i was able to boot it up to factory reset. (or else the boot loop would continue) but anyways yea im confused as to how the upgrade to 51  was providing security upgrades considering, was forced to factory reset what was otherwise a bricked device, losing months of work that in one instant costed me $$$'s of commissionary work. i am unable to recover, nor should have to.   i dont post to these forums. im not that involved. im not one to cry over spilled milk, but what the actual ^%$# is meta smoking. i mean no disrespect i just cant believe this either. I apologize for my outburst as well.

          i forgot to mention that i had to unplug my wifi router and then would it allow me factory reset. that did return my quest back to normal conditions. as well as solve history text book amount of errors i recorded, just for my PC oculus app to even function properly. if those files would be of use let me know i guess. i cant make any sense of them.

          I am not a member in the PTC yet once again my headset, phone and PC apps have updated to a version not yet in the general release channel.

          Bug in v51: apps being updated disappear from the App Library listings. Previous versions would show the download progress in the updates and installed filters. App will reappear when download is complete. If the app was in the recently used app list on Universal Menu it will show there but clicking on the app appears to cancel the download.

          Edit: Downloading updates will show in notifications even though the disappear from the app library listing. The update process seems unstable. Go into App Library - Updates - click on an available update, click install. Starts to download then quits. Repeat a few times then download "catches" and it disappears from the app library.

          Since I'm not in the PTC there is no way for me to go back to v50.

            Our company Quest Pro also updated to v51 yesterday, without being enrolled into the PTC. This created a big problem for us because this update breaks the USB connection to a peripheral we rely on,  I've made a post about this in the developer forum:

            Hey everyone, I've seen some questions around v51 release status. This version is out of PTC and is rolling out to everyone now. There aren't any specific release notes for it since it's mostly the changeover to Android 12, but we'll include anything additional in the v53 release notes. v53 is already being tested in PTC, so most people in this thread probably have it already.
