[minor brook]

(although maybe you're better off not using Samsung cuz Knox is annoying if you wanna do more advanced stuff like root access...)

[plucky prism]

it was customized i had to relook at what my friend bought

[plucky prism]

i disable knox everytime i get one

by using root level access

[vapid orchid]

You, um... you can't do that.

[minor brook]

You can, Knox just dies if you root your phone because it trips it. But then that also means you can't use any apps that check for it.

So no banking apps for them.

[vapid orchid]

F

Still think the phone is a complete fake.

[minor brook]

Yeah it looks sus. Plus the fact that it's rooted is already a red flag since there are tons of apps that you can use to spoof stats on a rooted phone.

[copper bridge]

most likely... but it doesn't really matter... all we care about here, is that the PlayStore says the phone isn't supported, and that is an issue with the phone, so nothing anyone here can do 🤷

[minor brook]

Oh that was their issue?

[minor brook]

They can just get the GApps package and it should work. https://opengapps.org/

There's also https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/apkmirror/ if push comes to shove, but I wouldn't 100% trust that site.

Another one that's cool is https://auroraoss.com/ .

[copper bridge]

yes... that is why they showed the phone's specs, where it said it had 8 GB RAM... but clearly that isn't what the PlayStore is reading 😅
see #android-dev message and #android-dev message
and we then found out their phone model doesn't seem to exist, or at least looks wrong compared to the listed specs of a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 🤷

[vapid orchid]

Not to mention it's on a super old security update and Android version.

S24 Ultra came out with Android 13 or 14 out of the box, IIRC.

[minor brook]

Yeah which is weird. But the above methods should work for installing apps. ^^

[vapid orchid]

This person is running Android 10.

[copper bridge]

they can try that... not sure i would post about that in public though 😅

[vapid orchid]

Wait, lemme double-check.

Yep, Android 14 out of the box.

[minor brook]

Why? It's all legit stuff.

[copper bridge]

just unofficial and such... having people with unsupported phones try to install the app will also just cause confusion if they start reporting bugs 😟

[minor brook]

Ah I see. But I feel like it should be the apps job to tell you that it can't run on your phone, not the store fronts job.

[copper bridge]

i guess? assuming it doesn't require extra app permissions for those spec checks 😅
might be worth a feature request

[minor brook]

@vapid orchid Also you're right I double checked and you can't unlock the bootloader on most US and Canada models. You can do that on some international models though.

There's a whole list someone on Reddit compiled, but I'm not gonna link it here.

I assume based on what they said by getting the "dev model", that's what they meant.

[twin blaze]

What does the "Allow Seinding Head and Wrist VR Tracking OSC Data" do? It's there but I haven't seen anyone talk about it.

[copper bridge]

sounds like something for VR tracking? so likely not Android related? 😕
might be a mistake if the option is in the Android option? 😅
can you show a picture of where you are seeing this?

[twin blaze]

Hello, sorry I was asleep and just now saw the message.

There you go.

By the way there is a problem I've been facing (well, I don't know if it's really a problem or I'm just a dum dum), I can't use selfie expression on mobile when my phone screen is horizontal, I have to hold it vertically or else my avatar will have a tilted broken neck :p

[restive bridge]

I also asked many people about this function, but no one gave me a clear answer. But I noticed that when it is turned on, head tracking seems to be tracked better

[twin blaze]

You mean the one in the image I sent? Because you replied to the message about selfie expression, not the head and wrist thingy.

[restive bridge]

Yes, I'm talking about exactly what's in the picture, and it's the head movements that seem to be getting better, according to my observations, unfortunately it's broken now, but when there were no problems, I noticed it

[restive bridge]

Yes, it is face tracking on selfies, it is becoming more sophisticated 🤔

Personally, it seemed that way to me, but maybe it's a placebo effect, I can't say for sure.

[twin blaze]

I didn't notice a difference, between it being on or off.. Hmm...

[restive bridge]

When I turned it on, I noticed that it seemed to track my head movements more accurately.

[twin blaze]

Ye, dw, I'm not saying I don't believe you, it's just that I didn't notice any difference on my end.

[restive bridge]

No problem. Maybe one day someone will come along who will explain in more detail why this function is needed in the mobile version...

[drifting elbow]

Will they ever be able to have the minimum requirements lowered to 4 gigs of RAM?

[restive bridge]

I don't think so. Even my device with 6 GB of RAM sometimes has a hard time coping.

[drifting elbow]

Drats, what phone do you have by the way?

[restive bridge]

Samsung Galaxy a34 5g 😓

[drifting elbow]

I need to get a new phone soon so might as well look for a good one

[drifting elbow]

Ah nice I got the a14

[restive bridge]

A mid-budget phone, but in principle it copes well. But the better the processor and more RAM, the better Vrchat mobile will work

[restive bridge]

Well 6 GB RAM is the minimum for Vrchat

[copper bridge]

known issue in the current version, here: https://feedback.vrchat.com/mobile-beta/p/mobile-selfie-expression-isssue

[twin blaze]

Yes! This is exactly the problem I have.

[reef delta]

Does anyone know how to run Build & Test your world for Android?
I saw the information that new SDK now supports build & test for Android as well on the Developer Update but I got the below error when trying it with the latest World SDK.

Exception: No android devices with ADB debugging enabled have been found.
For Android phones and tables: Please plug in the device and enable USB debugging in the "System"->"Developer Options" settings section.
Note that the "System"->"Developer Options" section only appears if you've enabled developer mode in Android, which you can enable by tapping "About Phone"->"Build Number" 7 times

If your device is still not appearing after trying the above, please try the following:
1. Unplug the Android device
2. Disable developer mode and USB debugging
3. Plug in the Android device

[copper bridge]

the "Build and test on Android" is meant literally, you need to connect an Android phone to your computer 😅
see: https://creators.vrchat.com/platforms/android/build-test-mobile/

[clever anvil]

Alright, i had trouble mic lagging on my nothing phone 3a pro, but my other friend use poco f4 gt doesn't had that problem. I am confuse at this point. took me a week to find a way to solve it but nothing change

[restive bridge]

do they hear you with delays? Or do you hear others with delays? I don't get it

[clever anvil]

@restive bridge oh sorry i forgot to explain about that, they are hearing my microphone lagging, like each sentence it disappear half way

But i guess the phone itself shows me this

[restive bridge]

try setting "microphone activation threshold" to 0%

[vapid orchid]

That would be a bad idea.

[restive bridge]

Why?

[vapid orchid]

That would be the equivalent of hot-micing.

[restive bridge]

I don't know about others, but this solution helped me, and other players began to hear me much better.

At least, what I noticed is that this function only suppresses unnecessary noise and supposedly makes the sound cleaner, but I was heard very indistinctly. And I always use only the microphone by pressing and it is never turned on permanently

[clever anvil]

Previously, already did that before and theres no change ..but hold on lemme try now...cuz its just update the whole phone

[copper bridge]

does the sound settings in VRChat show microphone activity when you talk into the microphone? 😕
like this:

[clever anvil]

Yeah yeah...but then after i talk for one sentence, the threshold jump itself. So i suspect it is lagging

And yet other player seems frustrated and saying "dude, i cant even hear a thing what you saying"

[copper bridge]

what is your "Mic Activation Threshold" set to? did you try setting it to 0%?

[clever anvil]

Yes, already set it to 0%. So theres a new update, once my mic is lag. I had to rejoin untill it sound normal.

[glad flame]

Hey anyone here has an samsung s9+ mine for some reason idk what is unable to save pictures i take in vrchat i tried using my aunts tablet and im able to there

[autumn pollen]

I still need help with mic

[copper bridge]

Mic Activation Threshold set to? and do you see mic activity on it when viewing the settings?
#android-dev message

[autumn pollen]

People can't hear

When I can't talk

Can yall help me with that

[copper bridge]

you answered none of my questions... 😟

[autumn pollen]

Sorry

Is show me talking

[copper bridge]

and what is Mic Activation Threshold set to?

[autumn pollen]

9

[copper bridge]

and are you holding the push-to-talk button while talking?

[rose pine]

HELP

[hushed lava]

The mic bugged is still in vrchat

I've already close all avatars on all user by using shield customize level

And usually my mic bugged out when I look at a direction with low fps drop. So I have to talk to people only a specific directions (depends on the worlds)

The longest time that I could talk at around 1hour (if I use avatar that's not very poor, customize shield on, Particle off, and a world that's not heavy)

After the mic bugged my mic activation threshold kinda looked delay and my voice just cuts off. The only way to fix it is to rejoin the world

I've already given a clue idk if it's possible to be fixed

And my mic activation threshold/my avatars mouth kinda looked like it was on slowmo

[hushed lava]

This is what I've been experiencing

[copper bridge]

likely a connection issue... 🤔
try on cellular data instead of your wifi 🤷

[twin blaze]

Yeah, I'm pretty tired of this honestly, imagine not being able to chat in a game called VRCHAT. Yeah ofc I can talk using the chat box, but I prefer using my own voice, plus it's easier instead of constantly stopping in my place just to write something.

[untold solar]

Agree on this. I can talk on my phone fine, but this game, "Your mic is breaking."

[twin blaze]

Yeah, breaking alongside my heart, because I can't communicate well with my friends. 💔
Sry for the minor crash out, hopefully it is a reasonable one, cause I grew tired of the scuffed experience of vrchat.

[copper bridge]

you should definitely make a bug report 😟
it could just be the issue is specific to your phone's model, so remember to specify it in the report 🤔
you make bug reports here: https://feedback.vrchat.com/mobile-beta

[twin blaze]

I'm not sure about that but I'll see what I can do.

[broken delta]

Ok

[rose pine]

Anyone know why some avatar can't move ?

[restive bridge]

Describe the problem in more detail

[jade shore]

How can i play VRChat on Samsung?

[restive bridge]

I play vrchat on Samsung and there are no problems. If you have less than 6 GB RAM, you will not be able to run Vrchat on your phone

[twin blaze]

https://feedback.vrchat.com/mobile-beta/p/extremely-low-microphone-input-volume

Guys if you're having the same issue please upvote for the devs to see

[rocky inlet]

vrchat doesn't realize how easy this problem is to solve

just add one to the volume variable, make it take effect, multiply that by whatever, and divide that product by two. (make the equivalent of allat and put it into effect)

i code in python AND css, this is SO easy

[twin blaze]

Welp, Idk what the developers are up to, they're probably focusing on the bigger and harder to solve issues and putting the easy ones aside, just an assumption.

[rocky inlet]

or maybe they're working on worse problems? idk, just pointing it out it's pretty easy that's all

[worldly pond]

I am having trouble, a couple of months ago I've tryed downloading VRchat on my phone and it wouldn't let me. Didn't ask for help, i thought it was still in development or something like that.

But now I am really started to doubt my opinion, I've recently checked again today but realized I couldent find it on my app store.

I went to it through #android-announcements and used the link to sign up to be a tester, it could be because I didn't give it time. Or its not for my device, I did research on my phone and yeah, its an android and I am so confused on why it isnt allowing me to download it.

I should of made this a bug report 😅

[twin blaze]

How many GB RAM do you have?

[worldly pond]

4 GB but im using 2.6GB

[terse basin]

the minimum is 6

[terse basin]

and you are expecting to run with only 1.4GB?

[twin blaze]

Sorry to tell you but 6GB of RAM is the minimum.

[worldly pond]

Well i have no idea, I looked and my phone is supposed to have 8GB

But i cant find anything about having RAM, besides Memory.

I'm sorry, im getting a little frustrated at this 😅

[twin blaze]

It shows in settings "about phone"

[twin blaze]

It's okay

Btw, additional GB RAM doesn't count.

[worldly pond]

I cant exactly find it in "about phone" but I can see it in developer options.?

Will this help?

I'm not new to tech I promise, lol
I'm just new on learning on any of this

Imma guess you mean the line im running? If so its 5G if thats what your looking for

[twin blaze]

Yeah... So unless you have 6 GB RAM or more you can't download vrchat, of course there are other requirements but I forgor for now.

[worldly pond]

Thats annoying, I ain't gonna complain about it

But thanks

[rose pine]

Hey I use OTG I can't turn around using mouse

[broken delta]

The VR chat camera on mobile doesn't work it's all massive

[rose pine]

Make it work then

Vrchat focus on money not accessibility

[vapid orchid]

👀 Well, aren't you mister forcey-pants.

[rose pine]

Well aren't you d

[rose pine]

What is happening

[high sequoia]

Vrc is down right now

[rose pine]

Vrchat man

[clever merlin]

I need help

[vapid orchid]

With?

[clever merlin]

What happen???

[worldly dove]

vrc's inputting the konami code

[rose pine]

Nuts

[rare wharf]

The fuck?

[flat reef]

When enabling face tracking, this sphere with missing shaders appears in the world

[restive bridge]

Is anyone experiencing the same issues with vrchat home?

[worthy hearth]

I purchased the vrc currency and I didn't receive anything but I got charged

My vrc user is scooby155 or Aizen 0

[terse basin]

This is discord not vrchat support

[copper bridge]

that might be eye tracking debug?

[copper bridge]

you need to contact VRChat support, here: https://vrch.at/support

[flat reef]

ah probably that

[worthy hearth]

Gotcha

[atomic sapphire]

Like?

[restive bridge]

What?

[atomic sapphire]

what issues

[restive bridge]

I have already solved the problem and now everything is fine.

[atomic sapphire]

oh ok

Android mobile dev... Like does anyone here know what an apk is or... Just vrc android dev 💀

[halcyon helm]

I know what an apk is ✋ but I think it's developing items for android specifically

[covert hatch]

Channel description be always your friend.

[umbral pewter]

not a hard minimum. i got it running on my nintendo switch which has 4GB. It ran... i mean it ran. It froze the whole system when i joined a public lobby but it worked at like 10 FPS in my home world.

[tribal mesa]

How the heck did you achieve this

[umbral pewter]

I got it from aurora store I think

Another front end for Google play

Cause Google play wouldn’t let me get it

[tribal mesa]

Ahh, thats pretty interesting

[wary merlin]

Hello, I'd like to purchase some Unity Android Game Sources, specifically for a fighting game (similar to these: Vita Fighters, Final Fighter, etc.). DM me if you got.

[vapid orchid]

Uhh... wrong place?

[cold wing]

the rotate screen feature is buggy, sometimes it just broke the resolution of the PanelTab or even the reso of the game itself

also there is a bug with the chat, sometimes when you close it you game can look grey or something like it with low contrast (shots included)

[restive bridge]

How did you add the buttons in the first screenshot?

[cold wing]

there is buttons on both screenshots... i just used "KeyMapper" app

[restive bridge]

Is it possible to use this app to enable buttons that aren't included in the mobile version of VRChat? It's just that most of the buttons aren't available. 🤔

[cold wing]

yeah i think so.

[fathom root]

Which keymapper app? That's a lot of apps in the Play Store when I search

[cold wing]

the one with red and blue icon

[restive bridge]

Could you please describe in more detail how to set up this app? I can't find the buttons I need. Are they only in the paid version?

[cold wing]

yeah this feature is paid

[earnest idol]

Can we put vrc mobile on galaxy note 8

Lowkey need it

[cold wing]

brazilian servers on android please (you can only find it trought brazilian dedicated maps)

[vapid orchid]

Uhh... what?

[cold wing]

on pc you have usa/euro/bra/jp servers and etc

on android you only got USA/Euro

[cold wing]

guys

how do i link my android account to Vr Chat Website ???

it keep saying my account doesnt meet security or something

[twin blaze]

Dear devs, please fix the damn mic problems, I don't want to be using the text box my whole life.
I appreciate the hard work you put, but I still can't see things getting better.

[terse basin]

what mic problems

[twin blaze]

The mic input is too weak so my voice isn't getting picked up, also after sometimes I feel like it's cutting off (like some other people said).

Even though mic strength on maximum and mic threshold on minimum 0%

[terse basin]

you sure its not just your end

[twin blaze]

I've tried multiple mic inputs and checked if there are any settings that are messing this up, but it seems fine on my end

[terse basin]

could easily just be your phone

[twin blaze]

You mean like a specific model problem? Hmm.. Maybe

[terse basin]

or just your phone specifically

[untold solar]

The mic is clear for me at first, and then cuts out afterwards. Never does it on phone calls.

Then I have to rejoin instance for it to be clear again

[twin blaze]

Ye I hear lots of people complaining about it

[copper bridge]

if you are actually having an issue, and want VRChat developers to fix it...
make a bug report, add as much information as you can, and maybe even attach a log file 🤔
here: https://feedback.vrchat.com/mobile-beta

i don't have any mic issues on my phone 🤷

[twin blaze]

Reported it two times already and my post got merged, and set on "Tracked" long time ago, if I report it again I'm afraid I'll get into trouble.

[terse basin]

Why would you

[copper bridge]

if it is "Tracked", then they are already tracking the issue internally, and they will priorize it in when they have time... can't get more dev attention than that 🤷
best you can do is provide more information to the existing bug report that is already tracked... such as adding your phone model, or maybe log file...

[twin blaze]

Could be considered spam or being me being very pushy maybe

[terse basin]

Theyd merge and move on

You wouldnt be the first guy to do the 7th time reporting the same bug

[twin blaze]

Well, Idk, I gave all the necessary data and told them to ask me about anything if something is lacking.
From what I'm seeing, devs are working mostly on quest and pc/vr stuff and I don't see things changing on mobile, but well, I appreciate their hard work either way

[twin blaze]

I wouldn't like to try my luck

[astral hornet]

Help！！！

[tepid moss]

VRChat is down

[copper bridge]

#server-status message
it seems to be affecting large parts of VRChat, and most users can't even login

[rose pine]

There ain't no menu bro

I will destroy someone lussy rn

Fix it

And also my avatar in the ground when spawn

[copper bridge]

your avatar likely didn't load correctly, and you are therefore the size of a speck... 🤷
try restarting the app

[wild girder]

Your hardware can handle it no problem, but Android 9 support from Vrchat was dropped a while ago unfortunately. Install a Custom ROM if you need it

[wild girder]

I also have this. Screen will start rotating constantly should you try landscape mode, and the only way to stop it is to tilt the phone and enable rotation lock. Opening the extended settings, navigating around and then closing them will override the rotation lock and go back to portrait still.

[wild girder]

Tbh you can probably boot light maps on 4GB, if your phone isn’t cooked out from abuse

[twin blaze]

Cool I guess

[wild girder]

Absolutely. The mobile port of Vrchat is a great work of optimization

If phone users weren’t silly, they’d probably be able to even put graphic options and phones would run the game great still

[twin blaze]

Well I don't know this black magic witchcraft that does this 🤷‍♂️

I bought a laptop, so now I can play more comfortably

[wild girder]

Vr when 👀

[cold wing]

its not about the rotation only

if you open any app that overide the vr chat screen this bug and audio bugs will also happen

basically you cant record, minimize it, answer to a message by notifications tab, etc

everything end up broking it

[wild girder]

That’s interesting. I don’t figure that out since I only run one app at a time

Good to know

Probably narrows down the cause

[cold wing]

yeah thats a major bug

[twin blaze]

Till I perhaps get a stable j*b and an apartment/living place of my own, which isn't anytime soon cause I'm still a university student focusing on his studies, my country culture is different, we don't get out of our parents house when we become 18 or something.

I was excited about the selfie expression feature in desktop but it didn't work as good as I thought it would >.>
But I'm grateful I have it at least

[earnest idol]

Alr thanks 😭😭

[copper bridge]

the audio bug should hopefully be fixed in a future update, see: https://feedback.vrchat.com/mobile-beta/p/all-world-sounds-play-after-focus-change

[copper bridge]

be sure to make bug reports then, so they can get fixed 😟
https://feedback.vrchat.com/mobile-beta

[copper bridge]

i love it on Desktop, it is great to have the head movement 🙂
and with its hand tracking, i can even headpat people! 😊
definitely better than the selfie tracking on Android at least 🤷

[cold wing]

1 YEAR

[copper bridge]

yeah, i found the bug over a year ago... so? 😕
if i hadn't reported it a year ago, it would likely not be getting fixed at all 🤔

[cold wing]

its not fixed at all bro... 1 year later

the last android changelog was pretty much all about "text sintaxe and px" fixes

[copper bridge]

it was only just marked as "available in future release" last month 🤷

[cold wing]

i dont know what say to you. its still happening...

and its not even like "sometimes"

ALWAYS happen

[copper bridge]

i know... i don't know what point you are trying to make 😕

[cold wing]

im just saying they dont care about android at all, 3 years later and it still not good. to report a bug you have to go on their website, create an account specifically to access the forum and support and then finally make a post there

so the MAYBE fix your issue

or in this case, the APP issue

1 year with this bug

i thought it was new

[copper bridge]

i assume it wasn't affecting all phone models or users? i don't know, i only know it happened on my specific phone, but have only rarely seen people mention it here on the discord server... if it only affected very few users, it is understandable if it was prioritized higher 🤷
but VRChat probably also doesn't have infinite work hours, so they are forced to prioritize things, and work on the issues that matter the most first 😐

[copper bridge]

if you have a VRChat account already, which i hope you do, you just use that to login to the https://feedback.vrchat.com/ page, there is no other account creation needed 😓
same with the forum... 😐
the support help desk site is special though, you have to make a separate account there, but that is because you need to be able to make a support ticket if you have lost access to your VRChat account 😖

[spiral spindle]

Hello I am not here to cause any trouble I assure you I love vrchat and it’s cool community all I was wondering about is how to become a mod on here you see I love helping people and making sure everything is going good and mod is the perfect job for me but I’m not exactly sure how one becomes one so I just thought I should ask

By the way the mod tag in my name is not real it’s from a different community

[cold wing]

why you minimodding like you were a employeer ? my girlfriend has a different phone and it also happened to her.

people doesnt mention because their platform to receive reports is the worst one.

honestly, who the freaky still use Forums ?

if they opened any channel here on Discord you would see the real number of users facing problems.

[untold solar]

I asked about certain features coming back to Sai on Twitter. He also mentions to use the Feedback Forum so it won't get lost.

[copper bridge]

why are you talking about the forums though? the bug reporting site is a Canny board, you know a type of board designed for feedback and bug reporting 😕
i guess you can think of it like a forum in a way, but if you compare it to the actual VRChat forum, you can see they aren't the same 🤷
and as said, they are setup in such a way that you use your VRChat account to post on either, so you don't even have to sign up 😅

[copper bridge]

Discord is a horrible platform for structured error reporting... take a look at #1138891887374237706 someday, there is no rhyme or reason to the horrible thread titles people put, and the tools you have as a moderator are extremely limited on a Discord forum... can't merge threads, can't set a status on the thread, requires a Discord account, and the list of issues goes on 🤷
i mean your first complaint was literally about having to use a separate account, and Discord is a second account... you just happen to have a Discord account already, which most others might not have 😅

[cold wing]

every gamer has a discord account nowadays its like the applications that comes with the phones system. you can edit the Titles as a Moderator and you can Organize the Threads with Tags.

Okay, so the VR Chat has -

• A forum for the Players Interact and such
• another platform for general support
• and another one for reporting bugs and other specific things i guess ??

Discord does literally everything above lol

nobody like to take +30mins to figure out how to do something that should be simples bro... thats why there is not many reports on these platforms

and even when you report. if its only happening with you or with your phone type its no important enough? nice, better to search for other game or actually buying a PC

[oak crag]

welp, time to start making IOS builds for all my worlds going forward

If it makes the number go up I'm all for it

[dreamy mural]

Can call add Nintendo joycon tracking to mobile so we can move ower hands and stuff

[vapid orchid]

That's not how that works.

[dreamy mural]

There are tracking on the joycons Nintendo has stated that but its fine

joycon tracking support maybe

[vapid orchid]

Yeeeeeah, but I don't think it works on anything BUT the Switch.

[dreamy mural]

No i have them connected right now

[vapid orchid]

Congrats.

[dreamy mural]

Pretty possible it could happen

[vapid orchid]

How?

[dreamy mural]

They have tracking cameras like so

[vapid orchid]

👀 That's an IR emitter.

[dreamy mural]

Yeah but it has a camera in it tho if you take it apart you'll see

[vapid orchid]

The phone has no way to pick that up.

[dreamy mural]

It dose acculy it can pick up to motion tracking and in a way finger tracking

Im really tech savy

[vapid orchid]

@terse basin Laugh at this person for me.

Or rather, with me.

[dreamy mural]

Wait and see I'll show you one way or another

Are you the dev

[vapid orchid]

Is my name yellow? No.

[dreamy mural]

Yeah so wait and see

[gloomy willow]

You can already use them for tracking in VR with Slime VR but they kind of suck at it and drift very heavily and there's not really much you can do about it. The camera on the end there is an IR camera that records at like 8 FPS and to my knowledge was only ever really used for Labo it's not really useful and they aren't capable of tracking finger movements as there's no way to actually tell where your fingers are.

[copper bridge]

i am not sure i even understand what you are asking here... you want "joycon" support for control input? or do you want the ability to move your avatar's hands when playing on mobile? because those two things sound some completely separate? 😕
you can however make a feature request if you want, here: https://feedback.vrchat.com/

[dreamy mural]

Hand tracking on the joycons no finger tracking but it gets it done

[dreamy mural]

Hand tracking on the joycons no finger tracking but it gets it done

Can yall do it

[copper bridge]

sounds unlikely to get hand tracking... but you can likely use them as controllers 🤷
either way, make a feature request i guess

[vapid orchid]

Mmmm, no.

[dreamy mural]

How do I do that

I switched to multi_compile and now one of the flags shows as set but the other still doesn't, even though both toggles are on in the material still

[muted tapir]

okay; the variant that I can't switch to shows up magenta when I remove the toggles entirely

but there's no compiler error inside Unity when I build the world

[muted tapir]

god I'm now in a situation where

return varA;// works
return varB;// works
return varA-varB;//gives solid grey (despite the two being totally different)

return varA-varB * 0;//works
return varA-varB * 0.00000000000001;//gives solid grey

also I'm already doing varB = saturate(varB);

and this is only going wrong on Android, it's fine on PC and in the editor

[muted tapir]

OK I must be hitting some kind of shader length limit -- the problem comes and goes if I just add or remove lines of random math (based on how MANY lines I add, not WHICH ones!)

I have a question can yall allow samsung dex if you have a camera add on to use finger and hand tracking just a question

[copper bridge]

you are probably better off asking in #avatar-quest (or #world-quest)... but Quest/Android does not support custom shaders, so it is likely just defaulting to one of the Quest/Android compatible shaders... you should probably use the "Toon Standard" shader, it is the most feature rich shader that exists for Quest/Android 🤷

the VRChat developers don't read channels here on Discord for feedback or feature requests... 😕
you should make a feature request, here: https://feedback.vrchat.com/mobile-beta

You guys need to fixed the camera tracking for vrc

[oak crag]

Ya gotta be a lot more specific than that

[novel flower]

It lags a bit when I use it I mean the tracking my game is fine but the tracking is slow in the movements and it legs then freeze the tracking for a long while

[untold solar]

Have you used Balanced instead of Performance for tracking?

[novel flower]

Yes

And it still was laggy

[copper bridge]

well... make a bug report, here: https://feedback.vrchat.com/mobile-beta

man those guys never respond

What are some android supported shaders that can make a piece of clothing transparent

The google ai says there is but its incredibly unreliable so im asking here instead

[copper bridge]

none, transparency is not available on mobile shaders 😟
you can likely ask for better help in the #avatar-quest channel

[stone lark]

Technically you can use the VRChat mobile particle shaders for some kind of transparency, but neither the additive nor multiplicative shaders (not alpha blended, it is just for worlds) are all that good and have been hearing recently how it might just turn entirely opaque inside of VRChat, transparency is transparency, those two are better but it is still transparency.

[elder token]

I'll give that a try thank you

[restive bridge]

Yes, there is a small workaround, the shaders are called mobile/particles/additive for light clothing, and mobile/particles/multiple for dark elements

[foggy meteor]

technically what makes these two special so they are allowed?

[copper bridge]

i assume it is because they are simple and low performance cost? 😕
if you try using the shaders, you will see why they aren't the preferred option when you want actual transparency 😅

my only experience with these is when i was adding a big red particle tag over my avatar's head... the VRChat/Mobile/Particles/Additive looks semi-transparent all over, and the VRChat/Mobile/Particles/Multiple makes the texture look very dark 🤔
However, if i overlap two particles directly on top of each other, one with Additive and the other Multiple, it will actually look normal 😮
i wonder if that is what the VRChat/Mobile/Particles/Alpha Blend shader actually does under the hood 😓

but i am no expert on avatars or shaders, i will again refer to the #avatar-quest channel, and maybe the #shaders channel if you want to learn about shaders 🙂

[restive bridge]

I'm curious, how do you combine additive and multiple shaders? How do you layer them on top of each other?

[copper bridge]

in my cause, it is just a particle, so i just added two of the same particle, one with each of the two different shaders 😅
it might work with other things too, such as just overlapping two meshes, but i am no expert on the topic 🤔

[terse basin]

2 meshes

Just bought vr coins thru my phone rq and they arent on my avc

I hopped on my headset to get more so I can get the coin and it worked there

So now im down 5$

contact VRChat support, here: https://vrch.at/support

[raven bolt]

It wont let me login

I updated my password too incase it was me

[copper bridge]

you mean it won't let you login on the VRChat Help Desk website?
if you read what it says, you don't login with your VRChat account... it uses a separate account system, so you need to make an account on the Help Desk website 😅

[raven bolt]

I made an acc for the web :")

Ive had one

I updated it and it didnt work either one

I ended up getting lowkey mad bc ut kept saying incorrect this or that
