  1. Beta - did you get the controller? 100 dollars seems extremely steep for this.
  2. Honestly the fact that not a single staff member bothered to reply to this or any of the similar posts, lack of ANY public statements, lack of any marketing collateral or anything substantive AT ALL tells volumes of their commitment to supporting the device. I would personally get a refund before the window expires at this point.
  3. Yeah honestly I haven't been using mine at all. I love the form factor. The weak chip, garbage software and lack of a controller make it useless to me. It needs optimization and a controller. The phone is by far the worst way to interact with VR I've ever used. I own a Vive 2016, Index 2021 and the Flow. I'm really hoping that HTC puts some care into this thing as it would be so easy to love.
  4. I was able to install it but it's completely broken. The app crashes regularly and is so laggy that it is unusable. VR chat also recognizes the headset as the Quest 1. I wouldn't be surprised if it was so bad they decided to disable new installs.
  5. Yeah I dont get this. I feel like using this as a lie down, personal theatre is basically a prime use case - but they make it completely awful to use in that capacity.
  6. In retrospect, this now seems obvious. Thanks Alexandra.
  7. You can connect it to bluetooth headphones. I myself use a pair of sony ANCs. Works well. Go into the Flow settings, Connectivity tab, pair new device, select your headphones.
  8. I'm not sure which part of my post you are disagreeing with as it sounds like we generally agree. The device is cool but has some issues?
  9. Does HTC have any sort of roadmap or released any statements about the future of this device? I bought one, but it's seriously hamstrung by some of the design and lack of optimization of any software for it. Really wondering if there is any collateral put out by HTC to allay consumers worries or if this is a device I should be attempting to return. My primary concerns are: - the brutal frame lag when moving your head faster than 1cm per second - terrible implementation of HDCP 2.2 Miracast (which I mean, is fine, I guess I can just obtain the media I want to consume from less reputable sources than Disney, Netflix etc.) - phone as a 3dof controller is just bad. This thing NEEDS hand tracking to be viable or at least a cheap controller provided to all purchasers for free. - poor software (enabling passthrough literally crashes my device when I attempt to load back into the software, also - why on earth is passthrough something that requires load time? That defeats the purpose of passthrough!) - memory leaks (apps regularly crash back to the home screen stating memory issues The worst part is that I actually like the device itself, it feels nice, the form factor is cool, the diopter pancake lenses are great. It lacks SOC horsepower which means it needs VERY good optimization to achieve good results.
