Setup repeatedly gets stuck at: "Learn the basics → Put on your glasses → Detecting..."

I’m facing a setup issue with my Ray-Ban Meta glasses and have exhausted most troubleshooting steps.

Problem:
Setup repeatedly gets stuck at: "Learn the basics → Put on your glasses → Detecting..."

Symptoms:

  • The app keeps showing "Detecting" forever.
  • No startup sound/chime when wearing the glasses.
  • No response to "Hey Meta".
  • No response when pressing/holding the touchpad.
  • White LED on the glasses flashes briefly, but nothing else happens.
  • I deleted the Meta app, removed Bluetooth pairing ("Forget Device"), reinstalled the app, and retried setup.
  • Performed multiple resets (short and long button holds).
  • Repeatedly paired from scratch.
  • On iPhone.

Has anyone seen a setup/firmware loop like this where the glasses are detected and pair, but never complete initialization or get past the wear-detection step?
