    was there a new v54 pushed via PTC or is it still the original? I opted out of PTC yesterday due to all the wifi 6e problems but would like to go back if there are some fixes. So far have no issues on v53 stable release.

      I got a new PTC build today. It updated from System version 50542050022700150 to 50542050028800150.

      • The search icon in the Universal Menu is still not functional
      • Move app is still broken
      • Lying Down mode is still missing from the accessbillity settings
      • Still can't access the Quest 2 storage when plugged into a PC via MTP. The file system won't load.

      Can't say anything about Wi-Fi or AirLink issues.

        Thank you, going to test now.  Will post my updates on the wifi 6e issues that I experienced in the original v54. Hopefully the voices on that issue reached someone's ears. Will post updates by the end of the day if not sooner.

          well...i didnt get any drops but it immediately started the problem of telling me my airlink "meets some requirements" told me my wifi is average, but if i go into wifi itself - tells me the wifi connection is excellent. A bit disappointed that is not being addressed but it may just be cosmetic. Will do further testing but can confirm on v53 i didnt see that the entire day and it only came back after going to v54, did not drop me yet but will post a new update if i see that. Also my version is slightly different than what you posted. 

          System version 50031110029800330
          Version 54.0.0.107.344.474388434
          Runtime Version 54.0.0.112.348.475264658
          OS Version SQ3A.220605.009.A1

          Do you have the quest pro or the quest 2?

            I have a Quest 2. OS builds for Quest Pro and Quest 2 devices have different version numbers.

                anyone have the version numbers of the v54 that first came out? specifically for the quest pro? want to see if we got the newer version of 54 or still riding on the old. The problems i saw on the version i got last week seem to still be present.

                    Thanks for sharing those version numbers, I was wondering what the newer number was.  I still have the 1st 54 you listed, which doesn't have the new skybox function. When did you get the newer version?

                     

                    I usually get the updates pretty fast (on/1 day after release) and this one seems to be taking a while.  Thought being part of the PTC would have it rolling faster...

                      Got a newer version of 54 and airlink is totally broken once again, the encoder isn't able to maintain 30fps so don't even think doing VR with that. I am done with PTC. Detecting complex issues to help dev team is normal. But testing basic features instead of a proper QC isn't.

                        I did get a v54ptc update on my Q2/rtx4090 today.  All seems to work fine with Air Link at 200mbps Dynamic and recommended router/wifi 5Ghz..  I did seem to need to do a couple of restarts in order to get things stable though.  Also, cleared guardian as usual.  Task manager shows about 170mbps, but varies a bit depending on the game/sim.

                        The version #'s are the same as my earlier post for my Quest Pro except for;

                        software version; 50542050028800150

                        runtime version; 54.0.0.110.348.475023458

                        I also got an update as already noted earlier for my oculus desktop app public beta v54.0.0.110.284

                        Note sure why you are having problems mate.  Probably best to contact Meta support including your log files I guess.

                        Edit;  Power management on my Quest 2 is still broken since after v51.  No matter how long I leave the headset charging I never get a green light and it never goes higher than 89%.  Same thing happens if I connect my Elite battery strap and charge it.  Never gets green light.  Strap battery reaches 100% but not the headset (88-89% max).  This all started happening when the OS changed to android 12.  I've bug reported this soooo many times now but nothing seems to get this fixed.  Pretty disappointing imho.

                          Was working perfectly well with v54 prior to System version 50031110029800330
                          Fast controller detecting/start, perfect AirLink performance.
                          With System version 50031110029800330 the Encoder was varying between 20-90fps even in Oculus Home...

                            Hey, I'm new to the PTC... I have 54. I like the new look of the App Library, except for the removal of the time stamp that told me how long its been since I last used the app. I found that very useful. Anyone considering bringing that back, or putting the information somewhere else handy?

                              Update: I found the last run time stamps on the App Filter Screen... not ideal, but glad I can still find them.

                                is it possible if you could confirm if the issue i posted about has been passed to the dev team 

                                Because as of the v51 update for Oculus headsets, drag events are not functioning for whatever reason.

                                It seems that starting drag and drop doesn't send events. Touch events up are also not being sent.

                                when starting drag and drop shadowbox shows but nothing else

                                App has been ran on emulators on android 12 (api 31), 12L (api 32) and even android 13 on real hardware (api 33) and drag-and-drop still works fine. This an issue with quest specifically.

                                  I wonder how we all get mixed results. For me airlink, while it still displays the message that I only meet some requirements, has not dropped me off wifi or disconnected me from airlink to my PC since this new v54. This may prove hard to fix if the devs are not able to produce problems with airlink or wifi 6e.
