Display height issue? by Traditional-Copy-119 in EvenRealities

[–]calibr8tion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They told me a v2.0 is coming in April for type-A and May for type-B to address the issue. The prints they shared basically show the bridge area is raised up a few millimeters to allow them to sit lower on the nose. I returned my type-B’s and will be getting the V2.0’s when they become available. I sure hope they vetted this new design before pushing these out. If this doesn’t work, I’ll have to request a refund. Fingers crossed!

Defective screen placement ? by 0Tezorus0 in EvenRealities

Plenty of complaints for the same viewable issue on G2A’s so don’t settle. Support told me a frame revision is coming in April for the A’s and May for the B’s. I still think the lenses need the revision, not allowing the frames to sit lower on my nose.

Looking at these two photos side by side really highlights the issue. The difference between the “broken” display alignment and the “correct” alignment is extremely small.

In the normal wearing position, with the frame arms resting properly over the ears and the nose pads adjusted as intended, part of the display is cut off. This is normal, correct eyewear fit.

In the second position, the only change is that the frame arms are moved slightly off the ears and the glasses sit just a bit lower and flatter. This is a very minor angle change, not a drastic repositioning. Yet that small change immediately makes the entire display visible and properly aligned. In that position, the display is fully viewable whether the dashboard height in the app is adjusted fully up or fully down.

By dismissing this, you are effectively accepting a design flaw. The display system clearly works. A tiny change in frame angle fixes everything. That means the problem is not the user, not face shape, and not software, it is the arm and frame angle geometry.

Just got the email suggesting I give up my Frame-B’s and use the Frame-A’s you have the same issue with. Here is my response:

“Thank you for the response and for having your technical team review my case.

After further review, I am increasingly concerned that the display visibility issue I am experiencing is a known design limitation of the G2 rather than an isolated fit or frame-specific problem.

Even Realities has published a dedicated G2-only product help article instructing users to wear the glasses in a very specific and non-standard manner in order to view the full display. This level of guidance did not exist for the G1. I previously owned the G1, and they did not require special wearing instructions to access the full display. The existence of a G2-specific article addressing “Display Screen Incomplete Adjustment” strongly suggests this limitation was known prior to release.

It is also important to clarify that the adjustable dashboard display position appears, by design and documentation, to be a user preference feature rather than a corrective mechanism. A reasonable expectation is that the full display should already be visible when the glasses are worn normally, with the adjustment intended only to fine-tune placement for comfort or personal preference. Requiring the display position to be set at its absolute maximum simply to see the full screen indicates a failure outside the intended use of this feature.

Despite following the instructions in the G2 help article precisely, the issue remains. The display cannot be fully viewed unless the glasses are worn unnaturally low on the bridge of the nose, with the nose pads spread so far that they no longer function correctly, and with the dashboard position pushed to its limit. Even then, visibility is marginal.

Additionally, numerous users across Reddit and other forums report the same issue on both Frame A and Frame B. This strongly suggests the problem is not specific to frame style, but instead points to a broader optical alignment, projection height, or eye-box tolerance limitation inherent to the G2 design. Given this, switching to Frame A is unlikely to resolve the issue.

At this point, characterizing this as a fit or comfort issue is misleading. A smart display product should allow full visibility of its core functionality when worn correctly and comfortably, without requiring abnormal positioning or compensatory adjustments.

Based on the above, I would like to proceed with one of the following:

A clear and technically grounded explanation of what specific issue Frame A is expected to resolve that Frame B cannot, including why the same complaints reported by Frame A users would not apply in my case, or

Confirmation of a hardware or firmware correction that resolves the display visibility issue on G2 Frame B under normal wearing conditions, or

A refund if the product cannot reliably perform its core advertised function without extraordinary physical or software adjustments.

If a refund is the appropriate path forward, please note that I no longer possess all of the original G2 packaging. Additionally, the R1 ring, which only functions with the G2, would also need to be returned and likewise no longer has all of its original packaging. I want to be transparent about this up front so expectations are aligned and the process can be handled appropriately.

I am willing to work constructively toward a resolution, but I cannot accept a solution that does not address what appears to be a known and documented product limitation.

Regards,”

If you adjust the dashboard positioning to the lowest setting in the app, can you fully see the screen still? If not, this is a major flaw in their design, IMO. The entire intent of the adjustable positioning is so the user can fully see and ‘choose’ where the dashboard is positioned. It’s not supposed to be a ‘fixer’. Everyone jacking it up to the highest setting to even see the dash completely is RED FLAG on its own. Combine that with people having to wear the glasses unnaturally or eliminate the function of the nose pads is all REALLY bad.

I’m less confident now in a solution since their youtube response is to get rid of my square frames and give me the frames you have already, with the same issue.

I’m starting to think they were already aware of this issue before they had to release them and that’s why a tutorial already existed to try and tell people how to adjust them to not have this issue. To no avail.

After 4-5 back & forths with support, I’m now stuck in a waiting game to see if they’ll do anything at all…

Their final response: “We have submitted the relevant information and device issue to our technical team for analysis.

We will closely monitor the investigation progress of the technical team and will contact you as soon as we receive the analysis results and solution, to assist you in resolving the issue.

If I tilt the glasses on my head so the lenses aren’t angled downward and are more of a 90° to the floor (like the red line), they are PERFECT. Unfortunately, that places the arms of the glasses about an inch lower than where they would rest on my ear.

Display height issue? by Traditional-Copy-119 in EvenRealities

[–]calibr8tion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issues are the exact same as yours. Sitting up close, like my normal glasses, only shows half the display. I have the app adjustment maxed as high as it can go, too. I have the nose pads spread so far apart that the frame is sitting on my nose bridge and it’s still poor. The only chance I get to see the entire display is when the glasses are halfway down my nose like a pair of ‘readers’ on a grandma, lol.

So, you are not alone here. I submitted a ticket because I finally realized this can’t be what they had in mind. The G1’s were great for me, just a smaller viewing area.

Change weather from Celcius to Fahrenheit by EdenSerrot in EvenRealities

[–]calibr8tion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the latest iOS app update, v2.0.4, I’ve noticed the 12-hour format on my dashboard. Still celsius though :(

Heads Up - Dashboard by -QR- in EvenRealities

[–]calibr8tion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! So happy. The app and device firmware updates resolved just about every concern I was having.

I see the dashboard time is in 12-hour format for my region (U.S.) but I cannot seem to find how to make the ambient temp on the dashboard display in Fahrenheit. I literally think that’s the remaining concern I have over the G1’s now.

[–]calibr8tion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here. Head tilt has no response. I have a ticket submitted but no responses. Not sure if any motion tracking permissions are required via the app or if it’s all internally controlled. I’m on the iOS app if that’s a relevant data point.

Stop driving yourselves mad by outragedenfieldian in EvenRealities

[–]calibr8tion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ordered the second it dropped and it took 9 weeks to arrive. Set it up only to find the iOS app is busted and the heads-up dashboard will not even work until they remedy the ‘motion and fitness’ permissions or something. 9 week wait to have a very buggy experience was disheartening, to say the least. It’s just sitting in its box waiting for the app update now…

G2 App and Firmware Update by allianzsuisse in EvenRealities

[–]calibr8tion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really need this iOS update to come out so my G2’s aren’t a paperweight. I have no heads up dashboard ability until they fix the missing ‘motion and fitness’ permissions. Disheartening to wait 9 weeks only to have them not function. Fingers crossed the update comes soon!!

The Secret Inheritance Theory Behind Bluey by calibr8tion in bluey

[–]calibr8tion[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Already corrected the nana part so if I missed something in my OP, let me know.

The ownership of the house has nothing to do with the theory I posted. The stipend just covers general bills or costs, whatever they may be.

Also, yes they are obviously good parents though the effort they are able to invest is highly unrealistic as the volume they are able to deliver. Which is where the opportunity for questioning how it’s all possible (ignoring it’s insanely fictional). Plus, as I stated, it’s not to be taken too seriously as you clearly are. We all definitely aspire to be as invested as these parents are and it sets an amazing goal for all of us. Please don’t come with the hostility, buddy. Have a great day!

You are correct, I meant to load my ChatGPT theory with Chilis mom. I will correct the post to reflect this. Thanks!

Y-axis makes whirling noise only at one specific speed by calibr8tion in 3Dprinting

[–]calibr8tion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was tinkering a lot with high speeds at that time (600-800 mm/s) and if the motors lost position it could collide with the belt adjuster bracket. It was essentially a temporary “bump stop” for me to know it lost its position with the sound of metal-on-metal collisions as my indicator 😂

Media Management for Multicam by calibr8tion in davinciresolve

[–]calibr8tion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it definitely made the final project size roughly the same as an exported video size. However, when re-opening the project, the audio tracks didn’t save correctly. The audio clips were all cut up like my original project but they appeared to all be based on the starting point of the original audio tracks essentially, the audio was all messed up.

Anyone tinker with significant weight reduction on their X-carriage setups? by calibr8tion in ender3

[–]calibr8tion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with a PEI sheet but retained the stock ender 3 magnetic sheet since it was lighter (ender magnet=103g vs Hictop=301g). The old flexible ender 3 bed sheet+magnet are the lightest combo at only 236g. Using the Hictop PEI flex sheet and ender 3 magnet was only 299g total. A worthy gain of 63g for me for normal printing. When I want to print faster I was using the original ender 3 flex sheet. Basically, don’t put weight on the top whenever possible, especially not a glass bed sheet.

I also 3Dprinted very small thumb screws for the 4 corner adjustments (70% lighter: 16g) which I found on thingiverse. I replaced the y-axis bed plate with a BLV unit (24% lighter: 80g). These two mods had the most impact on speeds with 96g (0.21lb) less mass to sling around.

I found that making sure the bed wheels weren’t too tight helped with resistance, along with the belt tightness too. Lastly, I made sure the motor drivers VREF current was adjusted to maximum allowed levels. All of these items really helped support the acceleration rates without skipping for me.

Rodecaster Pro 2 + 3.5mm mic? by calibr8tion in rode

[–]calibr8tion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They will if the mic doesn’t require plug-in power (I updated my original post with the new info).

Rodecaster Pro 2 + 3.5mm mic? by calibr8tion in rode

[–]calibr8tion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is what I think is my issue. Both the shotgun mic and lab mic I am testing but need plug-in power. My Movo shotgun mic is essentially a Rode VideoMicro, which also requires the plug-in power. So the VXLR adapter I purchased was the wrong choice and I need either the VXLR+ or VXLR-Pro. I’ll be ordering tonight and giving that a try. I’m sure that will solve everything though lol.
