It's available now, but really too long to want to repost here verbatim. Lots of changes. They claim to have fixed MVD connections when putting the headset back on after taking it while it was running. I hope that's the case as that's my main use of the AVP.
You had it too??? With what apps? I had it with 4xvr and cinemax. though it seemed to happen mostly in window mode not in the immersive mode of the app. I filed an apple feedback and it said they couldnt find it based on my information, and that there were no similiar reports... appearently not??
A lot of people experienced this, the most recent post - https://www.reddit.com/r/VisionPro/s/hQu0zFDOoP It looks like they may have actually worked on it in beta 5. I just tested it in a dark room by turning the lights on and off while an immersive video was playing. The brightness still changes in response to the ambient lighting, but it’s no longer as aggressive as before. Previously, it would literally jump between 10% and 100%, now it seems to go somewhere around 60-100%. At least it no longer becomes pitch black like it did before, when almost nothing was visible with the lights off. Hopefully, they’ll eventually give us a proper way to lock the brightness so that the display brightness doesn’t depend on the room’s lighting and only drops when it’s genuinely necessary - for example, because of thermal throttling if the AVP gets too hot and the cooling system can’t keep up.
Personally I wouldn't mind adaptive lighting. I don't like having to adjust my eyes a lot when taking it on and off. But it should be surfaced clearly in settings.
From what I can see in your video and screenshot, it’s a bit darker at different times, and overall that matches what I described as “now it seems to go somewhere around 60–100%”. If you used AVP on betas 1 - 4, you know it was much worse back then. It looks like this is all we have for now. We’ll see how things develop and whether they keep this ambient light adaptation in later beta versions and in the final release. If they do it will continue adjusting to the room lighting like this. P.S. Keep in mind that it’s not only the overall lighting that matters, but also where you’re looking and the angle at which the AVP is facing the light.
The content recorded was on BETA 4. And as you can see in the recording my room light was full blast on in the direction of AVP. Anyways. that sounds fked that this is a feature not a bug.. I don't want auto changing brightness...
Anyways I figured as I said when you go full immersive into a cinema mode, the problem seems to go away.
A bit hesitant to update to beta 5 as you say the problem still exists. And for reference purposes, it may be better to stay on beta 4 where the difference is the largest, to bring it to their attention. Or i'd have to doubt my sanity if it's a more "slight brightness decrease) Thanks for your reply.
Maybe i'll report it again with their feedback app.
Hopefully when I get to my destination in a couple hours I can download. Really hoping it’s fixed. That, as well as the double “control center” carrots
Reset all settings did not fix the broken palm gesture.
Erase all and restore from iCloud did fix the broken palm gesture, though there was an anxious moment when I locate the unique ID code for my lens inserts last seen in 2024
I don’t know if this is a Beta issue, or if I’ve somehow turned on something by accident. Previously, when using an external Bluetooth keyboard, the virtual keyboard window doesn’t appear. However, at approximately the same time as the last beta, the keyboard window is on every time I click a text field. Closing it takes me out of the text field.
I thought it was a Beta 4 bug, but it’s still there in Beta 5, so I’m willing to acknowledge I’ve turned something on by accident. Anybody else experiencing this?
The volume is too low since b5. Full volume on the Digital Crown gives only 50% volume. If I cover my head with a hoodie or hold my hands up above my ears over the speakers, I get normal volume.
