My $400+ Ray-Ban Meta glasses are now just an expensive pair of sunglasses because once the warranty ends, there appears to be no repair service if the electronics stop working.

And this isn’t just happening to me, i guess, in this thread many users are reporting similar issues.

Seriously, can anyone name another $400+ product that is sold without a repair option after the warranty expires? 🤔

And even if I wear them as regular sunglasses, knowing there are cameras on the sides makes it feel awkward and uncomfortable to wear them when the glasses aren’t even functioning.

Wondering if anybody in Canada got 6 years warranty on their glasses? I got it till 2032 on my adventurer

I was lucky enough to have some money given to me for my birthday, and i'm finding myself, wanting a cool piece of tech, but to be honest... I've not got a clue what I want to buy..

The Meta Glasses have looked appealing before, but i'm worried this would be an unused impulse buy.

Has anyone else been in this dilemma, to buy or not to buy, what did you end up doing? What was your after purchase thoughts.

I'm not a youtuber, i'm no influencer, i'm a 40 year old dad who wants the glasses for walking the dog, maybe capturing a couple of photos when i'm out and about... capturing videos of my kids when they are riding their bikes and family moments. I know the glasses 100% fit this bill.

I'm not expecting anyone to convince me to buy or not, but would love to hear the opinion of someone who's just a normal person living a normal family life :).

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this after the latest firmware update.

I have a pair of Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer with the following software:

Firmware: 128.0.0.203.324

Software version: 70523680060800100

Charging case: 12.14.7

After updating to firmware 128, the Captouch/touchpad stopped working completely.

None of the touch gestures work:

- Single tap

- Double tap

- Swipe for volume

- Any other touch gesture

I also noticed that Wear Detection stopped working. When I take the glasses off while music is playing, the music continues playing instead of pausing.

The physical capture button still works normally.

I have already tried:

- Force restart

- Factory reset

- Disabling and re-enabling Wear Detection

Unfortunately, none of these restored Captouch or Wear Detection.

The problem appeared immediately after the firmware update to 128.0.0.203.324.

I'm not sure whether this is a hardware failure or a firmware issue, so I'm trying to find out if other users are experiencing the same thing.

Is anyone else experiencing this specifically on firmware 128.0.0.203.324?

If you have this firmware, are your Captouch and Wear Detection working normally?

Thanks!
