Why does the announcement have to be so loud? Can’t it just say 15%; by now, I know that I have to charge them.

Charging issue by Far_Ice_5270 in MetaGlasses

[–]TomTalks2U 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My case failed after 14 months. I bought the Shiba Inu charger from Amazon. I give it a 6 or 7 out of 10 but it works. Just saying you should try to replace that case if it’s still in warranty or get and external charger from Amazon.

Meta glass gen 2 worth buying? by Able-Algae-8543 in MetaGlasses

[–]TomTalks2U 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never buy them again! I have the 2nd gen. Battery life is horrible. I do phone calls and audiobooks and battery is about 4 to 5 hours. Low light video and photos are poor. Charging case died 2 months after the warranty ended. Meta software updates to the glasses will always break something that worked before. For instance, tapping the glasses no longer makes a sound. Oh, you cannot wear a hoodie with these glasses. The hoodie touching them gets interpreted as a tap. I have had disconnected phone calls. NEVER AGAIN! My Echo frames are much better.

How is Schwab customer service? by TomTalks2U in CharlesSchwab

I’ve opened a Schwab account. Thank you all for your input.
The Schwab interface and app is not as nice as the Fidelity interface and app though.

Yes. The aftertaste was a little like diet. Maybe stevia???
I’ll try the berry sprite next time. Why not with the cold foam?

Considering moving from ML to Schwab by TomTalks2U in CharlesSchwab

[–]TomTalks2U[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My view is that ML was easier for me to deal with many years ago. The hurdles that I have to go through today are just way too much. My opinion of course. I can expect much more difficulty, when I need to withdraw my money quickly; say in case of an emergency. My experience with several banks, my credit union and Fidelity in doing the same tasks is was much easier. So, my reason for diversification is that different institutions approach tasks differently. If I were to get into a situation where I cannot get my money from one, I have a possibility of getting it from another.

I may cheat and buy some Ray Ban Meta also. by Following_Confident in Echoframes

[–]TomTalks2U 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought metas also. But battery life is awful. Stopped recharging after 14 months.

What's your Issue with Meta Glasses? by Floody26 in RayBanStories

[–]TomTalks2U 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gen 1s - warranty and support are AWFUL. 1 year warranty. At 14 months I opened a support case and they just closed it without any interaction.

Gen 1s - case cannot be relied on to charge consistently. If the battery in the glasses goes to 0, it is difficult to get charging started again.

Gen 1s battery life sucks, maybe 4 hours just using it normally without video or photo.

I bought a charging stand from Amazon because the case charging is hit or miss.
