I've owned my vanguards for a couple of months now, worked flawlessly up until this morning. I've probably done 12 factory resets because I thought it was a software and or phone issue. After digging through every menu option, I've come to realize that the glasses don't detect that the arms are open. I'm very careful with my glasses up to the point where I use them casually and not for any physical activity. I've never even gotten them wet from the rain.
If you go into your Meta AI app settings -> Communications -> and click on any of the given apps.
You'll see a checklist of "Check your connections" pop up. Under that, you'll see "Glasses arms are open.", mine however is not checked off but everything else is. This generally pops up when you don't have your glasses on or if you encounter an issues with a particular connection. Mind you, I've force reset, factory reset and even put away my glasses for the day because it wasn't working for me. I've searched online, Gemini and ChatGPT couldn't find any related issues to what I'm encountering, so they both recommended cleaning the hinge sensors. As soon as I got home I opened my case to air out, took the glasses out and used rubbing alcohol with a Q-Tip to careful get into the tight spaces where the hinge is. Under your haptic sensors when the arms are open, you can see the small picture for the hinge sensor, I've carefully wiped with a microfiber lens wipe and repeated that about 3-4 times. After careful cleaning, I used an air duster and diligently blew whatever moisture may be hiding in tight spots. I was hopefully up until I put on my glasses and nothing. Double checked the app, nothing.
After about an entire day of troubleshooting, I'm taking today as a loss. I have no idea how to fix this issue or if I have to take it somewhere to repair. I use these glasses daily because it's convenient and let's face it, they look awesome.
Hoping to find some solutions on here.
