help needed with generation 1 RayBan glasses

When I turned my glasses on a few days ago to check for updates I heard the battery level and the noise that meant the glasses were listening for a command, but when I said "hey meta" and asked a question all I heard was the glasses shutting down as if they weren't listening anymore.

A couple of friends said that they've been experiencing this lately as well but is this a bug that we need to see if the next update solves or is there something else I can do to make the glasses usable again?

Thanks.

If you are experiencing, would I believe you are experiencing, the only workaround I have found is to keep my case plugged in. For some reason, if you have the Meta AI app running on your smart phone, and you fold your glasses up and put them inside the case, and you check the Meta AI app on your smart phone, it will say something like, "Meta glasses charging, battery X%". However, after a while, you may try to put your glasses on, only to find that your glasses battery is actually at 0% and they need to be charged.. again.

The best way to prevent this is to keep your case plugged in whenever you're going to actually charge your glasses, then, once the Meta AI app says your glasses are charged, you should be able to take the glasses out of the case and use them like normal.

I hope this helps and that I have explained things clearly enough.

I'll try this but I experienced what I described twice, the first time after it had been a while since I had used the glasses and at that time the battery charge was at 82% I think it was so I used the charger to plug them in and when I tried them the next day the same thing was still happening.

I was having that problem, even with my brand new Gen 2 Oakleys. I removed the OOryan app, and my metas are performing as they are meant to.
Some have just disconnected OOryan from the glasses, and that might work, but the point of having OOryan for me was specifically to use it with the glasses.

Hopefully compatibility improves. I know the developer is aware and is working on the problem.
