Glasses not detecting I'm wearing them

I activated the function to pause when the glasses are not worn.  But even if the Hey meta works, the glasses goes on standby after some time, and the touchpad doesn't work. The only way I have to use the touchpad is to disable the function, so the glasses are always active. But in this case I noticed the battery fades faster. 

It's as if the glasses don't detect when I wear them. 

Any solution? ideas?

I don't understand if it's a hardware problem or a software problem.

    Hello GabrieleCancelli,

     

    We understand that you are having some problems when it comes to using your glasses, and we would be more than happy to see what we can do to help.

    This is likely an issue with the proximity sensor in your  glasses, which is responsible for detecting when you are wearing them. While it's possible this is a hardware fault, a software bug or improper fit is often the culprit. 

     

    Here are the troubleshooting steps, starting with the most straightforward solutions.

     

    Check the fit of your glasses

    The proximity sensors on the temples may not be properly making contact with your head if the fit is loose.


    Restart your glasses.

    A simple restart can often resolve temporary software glitches.

     

    Clean the sensors

    Dirt, oil, or debris can obstruct the sensors that detect when you are wearing the glasses.

    • Wipe the temples: Clean the interior sides of the temples with a dry, soft cloth, especially the areas that touch your head. 

    Update firmware and app

    Ensure both your glasses and the Meta AI app are running the latest software versions.


    Re-pair your glasses

    Re-pairing can resolve any Bluetooth connection issues that may be interfering with the wear-detection function.
