Have V29 but missing half the new features.

I received the updates and I have the battery life on the controllers and passthrough I think. 

 

Do NOT have the option for iphone notifications or the file server app or the mic recording. 

 

Anyone know why? I this a multi update situation? Is my Oculus glitched? I can't be the only one.

Some features won’t show up until you do a full shutdown and reboot, while others are rolled out separately from the main update. I got v29 last night, but didn’t get the new Universal menu quick access bar, even after a couple of restarts. I did get some features (battery indicator on controllers, passthrough environment shortcut). Only had a few minutes to check things out, so I’m not sure if I’ve got the file management app or 120 Hz over Link. Anyway, try rebooting your headset; if that doesn’t do it, the missing features will probably just show up sometime soon.

DK2, CV1, Go, Quest, Quest 2, Quest 3.

Great to finally have someone who knows something answer, Thank You! Oculus support is not very helpful.

Thank you nalex66, I had the same issue as MadHatter 74 and I was thinking of doing a factory rest, now I'm so glad I didn't cause I hated the thought of re doing everything from scratch. I got V29 a few days ago, I have reset the headset several times, I have the Battery indicators on the controllers but no new menu or the Iphone notification. I guess I just need to be patient, which is not one of my great virtues. Thanks Again.

There's a tip floating around that changing your Language settings might help. I changed mine from US English to UK English and back again and the missing v29 features started showing up (after I had changed back), including the new color icons etc. This might not work for everyone, but it did work for me on my Quest 2...

Stressless, thanks for the tip I'll try it.

Stressless, I tried it three timies back and forth but no joy, thanks anyways, hopefully it will roll out on my VR soon.

So File Manager just appeared. No additional update just there now. Guess the rest of the features to follow.

Same here. V29 on quest 1 but missing Multiple Account settings on experimental features menu. I tried to reset the experimental features settings a couple of times without any luck.

Don't forget the mobile app is important. I didn't have the new 'universal menu' until I'd launched and signed into the mobile app. Something I hadn't really done since first setting up my Quest 2 since the mobile app's interface is too clunky.

Lo, a quest! I seek the threads of my future in the seeds of the past.
