[torpid drift]

can't tell from a small screenshot instead of just linking the forum post, but Furality detailed the best they could for people to verify their age before the event for situations like this

[crisp basin]

It’s not letting me get in vrc

[outer stone]

Yea there’s an ongoing issue

[wet sorrel]

Just got same issue

[stiff prism]

Fucken vrchat

[soft tangle]

Well guys I can confirmed everyone is 🔥 right now especially in Furality, people missed meetsup and events right now

[lyric lion]

Was about to ask if there is a problem on vr

[soft tangle]

Server Under Maintenance 🛠️
Luckily, I have this photo to share right on time

[stuck wraith]

How is it on mobile???

[soft tangle]

Still can't login, but code did sended through email

[stuck wraith]

That is figured, but how smooth is it when everything is online?

[soft tangle]

Can't confirmed so I don't know

[vale lark]

Imma wait to get vrchat mobile again until they make pc avatars for mobile too

Anyways back to being dead

[grim mango]

Whafs going on

[wet sorrel]

PC and mobile avis aren't the same. they are on three different platforms. There are more limits on the mobile compared to pc. It is upto the creator if they want to put in the effort to make them mobile comptible.

[fathom egret]

So we having fun complaining about vrc being down on our phones

[soft tangle]

Not just phone, all platform rn

[fathom egret]

Oh I know

Just felt like dick riding android

[soft tangle]

There's Furality events right now, attended making fun of it while waiting them to fix lol

[fathom egret]

😂 reallll

[wet sorrel]

Those are postponed until vrchat servers areup

[soft tangle]

And non furries blaming us for cause this problem, server overcrowded till it VRC down lmao

[fathom egret]

I mean

[wet sorrel]

This happens 2 to 5 times a year

[fathom egret]

;-; maybe the spontaneous furry e sex causes the servers to have a meltdown

Just yapping out my ass

They is not having it with y’all in vrchat general 1

[wet sorrel]

It is an sfw event, and is broadcasted on Twitch. so not ok to do that

[fathom egret]

Huh

[wet sorrel]

sfw

[fathom egret]

Swf?

[wet sorrel]

safe for work

[fathom egret]

Ohhhh

Like people care about rules it’s vrchat

💀 someone always got something swinging around

[wet sorrel]

But they got to followvrchat and Twitch guidelines when displaying the panels, booths, and metups. same forVket

[soft tangle]

It seems Furality has reschedule the events till Monday, means we have Furality for 5 days since Thursday yay! 🎉

[wet sorrel]

I still have 3 meetups to attend

I got a friend online

[soft tangle]

I just visit interesting meetups since this is my first furry con experience this year

I don't know what else am I going to do

[wet sorrel]

eat, sleep,chores

[naive bluff]

Do something else?

[soft tangle]

I just roaming around the world and hear people conversion except meeting popular person like this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1141834065583018107/1380823856591278191/VRChat_2025-06-06_22-08-55.808_3840x2160.png?ex=6845f0ad&is=68449f2d&hm=14e463ffd64162559359aaf73c1bad481c265fd4d333b2f0f5828cdcea1e02c1&

[wet sorrel]

[soft tangle]

I missed SEAsia meetup due pre-VRC down yesterday evening. It log out my acc for no reason

[wet sorrel]

I got this cute critter animated last night

But this is the Quest side, and is Poor performance

[sudden vault]

Will Android Mobile be updated?

Why I'm an Android user and I wish there were updates

[wet sorrel]

there were two updates this week

[warm tide]

Henlo

I play on mobile for some reason everytime I play vrchat it get disconnect even the website is broken

[green sparrow]

The servers r down it's kinda obvious

[wet flume]

Where do I ask for mobile vr chat help? I need help because I can't play the game at all it says error world. I am always in there.

[wet flume]

Oh so the mobile version servers are down? I thought it was a problem from my end.

[sudden vault]

Thanks but I hope they don't remove VRChat Mobile and I want it to be official.

[knotty wind]

what are you talking about? 😕
it is official... #android-announcements message

[sudden vault]

Oh sorry

[woeful bane]

The whole game is down

[wet flume]

I legit thought I was hacked first 😭

[woeful bane]

Real but dw!!

[timber crypt]

are you able to get vrc on iphone?

[heady sparrow]

#ios-info

[orchid owl]

How come I cannot create a group on the mobile website? Am i supposed to be a certain rank? Please mention me when replying.

[soft tangle]

A moment ago, Furality repost a meme video made by someone about VRC Outage recently in Twitter, and guess what?

I spotted myself in this video… twice!! 😂

[sudden vault]

Well em

My problem has already been solved, who knows how 😯

[sudden vault]

Can I post a video? I think they're going to take it away.

[sharp bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/me-atrapaste-es-cine-its-cinema-cinema-esto-es-cine-gif-17729711691959966457

[knotty wind]

it has nothing to do with being on mobile or trust rank...
you have to have VRC+ to create a group

[sudden vault]

Finally the problem was fixed, I don't know if it was for others too.

[orchid owl]

Thanks for the information

[wet sorrel]

I shown up once

[warm tide]

Can avatar that PC type can change to android type?

[visual moss]

yes but it needs to be edited in unity and blender

[knotty wind]

i suggest you ask in #avatar-quest if you need help with it

[toxic forge]

How can I control the camera movement with the Android version of vrc?

[soft tangle]

Guys, I'm finally have found the cause why I can't use Very Poor avatars for very long time. Private DNS is the real cause that makes me suffering far too long! I'm very stupid asf for not thinking about this in the first place 😫🤦🏻‍♂️

Private DNS has been disabled completely and…

I can use any Very Poor avatars without problem anymore! Now here's first video and photo with Very Poor avatar in S22 Ultra 🎉🙌🏼

[foggy fox]

So let me understand,ur telling me that I can't use very poor avatars because of the private DNS?

How can I make the emotes of my avatars have sound?

[foggy fox]

Yep that was the problem

[soft tangle]

100% confirmed! Private DNS is the real reason, thanks to @old fossil for giving the hint about this problem #open-beta-discussion message

[foggy fox]

And what about the sound on the avtars?

Do they work at all?

[soft tangle]

I don't have any comment about that 🤷🏻‍♂️

[knotty wind]

ah, you were using dns.adguard.com as your DNS server... so if we just knew what API calls VRChat was calling, we could likely test this 🤔
i just tried changed my phone to use that DNS server, and i seem to get the issue when i do? 😮
i need to test this more... reading the log file on my phone is annoying... the weirdest error i see something about "AmplitudeAPI" failing... but i have no idea what yhat is... 🤷
i need to ensure it isn't something else i did that broke it, so need to wait for DNS TTL to expire

if you can download it on the PlayStore, you can... otherwise, no
see: #android-announcements message

[wet sorrel]

Congrats my friend. Glad you have the very poor avatars you wish to use.

[soft tangle]

Yes, it's really great to use it

Well here's our both photo at Furality events in different version, PC & Android platform

It's funny when I see avatar that I'm using look fat as fuck in PC version, while Android version look muscular and sexy 😦

[wet sorrel]

It is a syncing issue, or something not toggable from Android.

I learned the Toon Standard is usuable on SDK 3.81

[wet sorrel]

One Dream Critter meetup pic

[soft tangle]

So does avatar I'm using really that fat when you meet me before the events started? I will find another avatar if that's true

[wet sorrel]

It was the first time I fully shown your avatar. must be the clothes

[soft tangle]

Well I can confirmed that my avatar actually set as fat bodyshape conditions. Avatar creator might did wrong setup in Android or PC.

I will find another avatar… It feels embarrassing looking at my own avatar like that

[wet sorrel]

understanable

[visual moss]

Strange, I use a private dns server and I have no problems with avatars

[soft tangle]

I have no idea why, but I did a test again and there's side effects…

1. I can't use very poor avatars when re-enabled Private DNS. When disabled, I have access that avatars again!

2. VRC log out my acc itself for no reason (not outage related). When I tried to logging in, it won't allowed me to enter or receive a code (DNS disabled) but when enabled I could logging in without any issue but I got problem in No.1

So far, it's not a big issue but quite annoying if I have to turn DNS settings on/off many times just to play VRC only

[visual moss]

I use a private DNS called cloudflare, no problems

[thick pulsar]

Try using cloud flare or Google's DNS servers.

Cloudflare
Primary
1.1.1.1
Secondary
1.0.0.1

Google
Primary
8.8.8.8
Secondary
8.8.4.4

[foggy fox]

Guys do u know how to connect a soundboard to vr chat mobile?

[naive bluff]

You can't.

[foggy fox]

Oh

[winged wind]

Oh, huh, I was trying to find something I had posted and found my own tweet!

Suffice to say my opinion of toon standard has only grown, really.

Random ping incoming for the plush.

[pearl mulch]

glad to be of help

[winged wind]

Hey, I'm just glad I was a good example! Lol

[ivory elm]

s24fe
still getting weird texture issues

as well as this randomly happening when i went to a more popular world to test performance lol

[ivory elm]

besides my phone getting hot, performance is really good!! locking 60 when less players are around, no memory issues. though, i intentionally didnt load very poors (i straight up dont have any uploaded lol)

i encourage others on android phone to still not use very poors, even if they allow it. those draw calls get expensive and hot

[soft tangle]

I have face this problem, solution? Restart the app and everything works normal again

[ivory elm]

(this happens immediately after start)

[delicate osprey]

Wait how do we get the vrchat mobile anywho?

[vale edge]

Google Play store

[knotty wind]

it looks like it is an issue specifically with the dns.adguard.com public DNS service... not the "private DNS" feature itself

[knotty wind]

#android-announcements message

[soft tangle]

Stickers are no longer required VRC+ anymore yay 🎉😄
However, custom stickers still for subscribers only #open-beta-announcements message

[wet sorrel]

open beta testers on pc/ quest can't share or show stickers to those not on open beta test

[warm tide]

So how do I get permission?

[heady sparrow]

have vrc+

[naive bluff]

Who the hell keeps spamming this channel and ghosting?

[native igloo]

huhh

[native igloo]

ah, few account got hacked spam all channels

[naive bluff]

Of course.

[sharp imp]

What's the highest recommended phone to use for vrc mobile?

[native igloo]

highest....may think ASUS ROG personally if for gaming.

[sharp imp]

Oh wow, they're expensive lol. Do you maybe know the cheapest one that could work?

[soft tangle]

How about Nubia Red Magic series? It's a gaming phone similar to ASUS ROG, just its design not look fancy but still powerful

[formal adder]

I wish they put it on iPhone 11

[broken token]

can we get help about android on this channel?

[wet sorrel]

#ios-discussion

[wet sorrel]

This channel is about android phone game beta testing

[broken token]

so i can ask for help right?

[wet sorrel]

Yes, but you can also ask under #1138891887374237706

[vale edge]

Don't ask to ask. Just ask

[broken token]

ur right but i dont wanna use channels on wrong purpose.

[vale edge]

You're not dw

If you're in the wrong place someone will direct you where to go anywho

[broken token]

the problem looks like its about rendering and my phone supports the system requirements

my phone: Oppo Reno 5 Lite, it has 8 GB ram and cpu is MediaTek Helio P95, gpu is PowerVR GM9446

can anyone help?

[vale edge]

Yeaaah. That may very well just be too weak of a phone.

The mediatek SOC could also have driver issues when it comes to rendering some applications leading to visual issues.

Mediatek has been long known to be weak at gaming compared to Qualcomm.

[formal adder]

This iPhone 11 have VR chat

[vale edge]

wat

[broken token]

i dont really think its about cpu because my friend who has really poor cpu in his phone can run vrchat without crash, just low frame rate. I think its about my gpu because its on beta and its not optimized for all kinds of graphic processing units.

I have a meta quest already but i wish it could run it in my phone

[vale edge]

The SOC is both ur CPU and GPU combined. Mediatek has a long history of poor drivers and bad performance in mobile gaming.

[modest ravine]

heh... hi for some reason my vrchat mobile beta keeps crashing whenever i try to join any worlds... but its probably because my phone is horrible

[carmine comet]

What's the line to type out for popcorn Palace for movies

[vale edge]

Join their discord server.

[visual moss]

Well, after switching to One ui 7.0, my budget Samsung Galaxy a34 5g with 6 GB RAM became much more productive, and began to heat up less at maximum settings in VRChat and many other games.

[wet sorrel]

It has run vrchat mobile on my S23 fe. Mic still breaks in game

I'm wondering if it's service provider related.

[hollow rapids]

meantime I'm just running it on my samsung galaxy s10e with 6GB RAM

[knotty wind]

#ios-discussion message

[hollow pawn]

I'm wondering, does anyone else's phone crash if they start up a video? Mine had crashed every time I joined my friends who were watching a movie and just crashed again trying to watch yt videos in a small world

[wet sorrel]

I couldn't get a movie to start when others have watched it recently

[hollow pawn]

I can't even remain in the world, it throw me out with a debug error

[silver hollow]

I have a question, how can I stay in a discord call and not disconnect from it while I'm in vrc on my phone? It gets annoying 😭

[kindred tartan]

I don’t think you can if ima be honest

[hollow pawn]

You can't

[knotty wind]

i can be in a Discord voice channel on my phone while using the VRChat app 😕
only issue is, i can't use my phone's microphone in both apps at the same time 🤔
(and my phone lowers the volume of all other apps when it sees i am in a Discord voice channel, really annoying)

[silver hollow]

Well see the weird thing is that I can't even use my phone microphone on vrc so I prefer being in discord calls but I get disconnected from my call while I'm in the game

[knotty wind]

is this a direct Discord call? or a voice channel on a server? 😕
i wonder if it makes a difference, or if my phone just has more horse powers 🤔

[wild pebble]

Crazy

[shy falcon]

If vrc android is for most up to date and recent devices, I'm a little confused when my galaxy A23 can't handle it

[naive bluff]

Does your phone meet the minimum requirements?

[wet sorrel]

I figured out when mic sounds bad to others, rejoin the world and it gets fixed.

[shy falcon]

Well. I'm running android 14, and either 4 or 6 gb of ram, so idk

[vale edge]

6gb is the min required. Check your specs. Your memory can be viewed under device care>memory or just search memory in the settings tab

[knotty wind]

#android-announcements message

[visual moss]

I also have 6gb of RAM, but the phone copes fine

[visual moss]

I think the problem is in your GPU

[dense kelp]

How do I get vr chat on iOS?

[heady sparrow]

#ios-info

[pliant star]

i have a question about tracking, when i turn selfie tracking on, my head is tilted at a 90 degree angle, how may i fix it?

[visual moss]

This is a bug that everyone has at the moment. It's best to report it to support, then there's a better chance that the developers will fix it.

[visual moss]

https://feedback.vrchat.com/mobile-beta

[vale edge]

It's already been reported and marked as tracked

https://feedback.vrchat.com/mobile-beta/p/mobile-selfie-expression-isssue

[wet sorrel]

I usually play vrc mobile in potriat mode. But a few games like Trash Compactor has to be in landscape to see the whole map when shooter.

[lilac delta]

whyyyy? it's meant to play in landscape mode xD

[vale edge]

I mean it's not really meant to play in any specific orientation.

Considering the launcher is in portrait as well...

[knotty wind]

typing is a lot easier in portrait mode... but yes, for movement landscape mode is best, in my opinion at least

[novel dagger]

Hello

[sweet sluice]

Im forced into potrait thanks to my device. I deal with it though.

[knotty wind]

your device should have an "Auto Rotate" option you can enable, that is what i have to enable when i use the app

[sweet sluice]

Ill see if that works later... But i doubt it

[wind lotus]

anyone else mobile vrc jist nit worming it does loading circle then goed to try again

[knotty wind]

no? works fine for me... 😕
maybe it is your internet connection causing the issue, try mobile data instead of wifi, or something? 🤔

[wind lotus]

if they made it sk it just use data thats stupid. it used ti worm fine on wifi

[knotty wind]

did it work on mobile data?
if it works on mobile data, then your wifi and/or internet connection is the issue

[wind lotus]

my wifi is fine

i checked my router and the done wifi check

[knotty wind]

i didn't ask any of that... did you try on mobile data? and did it work when you did?

[wind lotus]

you said there a problem with my wifi hence why i said all of that.

but yes it works on data

[knotty wind]

then it is likely an issue with your ISP, it is not uncommon for ISP routing issues lately... don't really have much in the form of a troubleshooting guide for Android devices though... 🤔

[wind lotus]

im chrcking the connection of my wifi see if there an issue there maybe but idk what ISP is or how to chexk that

there an expected outage for this wednesday and thursday but they shiukdnt be any iasues before that

if it was isp thibg my diacird wouldnt work either tho.

[knotty wind]

ISP is short for "Internet Service Provider", it is the company the provides you with your internet connection... about the only thing you can do is call them and tell them you are having issues reaching certain services on the internet, but since we don't know the exact services that are failing, it is hard to know what to tell them... 😓

[wind lotus]

messaging an advisor seeing what they say

so they saying to go to the official store and someone will have to go through it manually cos the steps thry provided arent work

[wind lotus]

so surprise surprise it decides to work on the store wifi so either its fixed itself or they sayi g somethin about oarental control? i havent touched my parebtal controls on wifi hell idk how to even get into them

well it fixed itself yeyy

nvm spoke too soon

[hollow rapids]

definitely not updating till forced to

anyways came to say it seems like it gives notifications on my phone when a group announcement is made, but not for invites or any other stuff in my experience

[warm tide]

Can we get more graphic change?

And always keep on mic?

[knotty wind]

you can only turn off push-to-talk if you have an external microphone device

[wind lotus]

its still just running only on data which is a pain in ass when i have good wifi everything else i use on my wifi works fine.

[lament python]

Can you guys help me turn this off

[visual moss]

press the eye button many times and the avatar will work. this is a new bug

[lament python]

It only lets me do it for a little bit of players

[visual moss]

no more than 4 very poor avatars are available for inclusion. This is how it should be

[lament python]

Will it get fixed soon?

[visual moss]

I'm not sure, this is not a bug, this is done on purpose so that the device does not overload

[lament python]

Ok thank you

[wet sorrel]

Used to be no very poor avatars, even yourself.

But because at the start of the Alpha for 10 days, we had our own very poor avatar working until blocked.

[knotty wind]

what is the issue? you can't show a very poor rated avatar?

[sullen parcel]

I think there's a bug with face tracking, now when you try to use your phone horizontally your avatar stays with its head crooked

I guess the camera no longer detects when you rotate the orientation of your phone

[wet sorrel]

it is known and tracked issue

[knotty wind]

https://feedback.vrchat.com/mobile-beta/p/mobile-selfie-expression-isssue

[sullen parcel]

oh okay

[abstract kernel]

Uhm guys

I have a problem its like i put a skin and boom screen turn black and i cant hear no one

[wet sorrel]

Have you tried other avatars and get the same result?

[abstract kernel]

Well i cant change avatar anymore because of this

Im stuck in this avatar

[vale edge]

Log into the website.
Click the avatar tab
Top of the page, reset avatar

[abstract kernel]

Thanks u very much you are a life savior

[knotty wind]

https://help.vrchat.com/hc/en-us/articles/360060847634-Unable-to-switch-out-of-an-avatar

ooh, you already got help for that... i just had it in my clipboard already 😅

[lilac delta]

the new icon removed the beta name, does that mean the android app is close to be moved from open beta to being a regular play store app?

[soft tangle]

That's the problem! They remove Beta on icon, yet it's still in Early Access state in Play Store. VRChat should be leaving Early Access already and become normal app release because this ain't Early Access release anymore over 2 years, and we barely receive critical bug issue like Alpha version back then!

[abstract kernel]

Thanks too!

[knotty wind]

yeah 👍
the main issues i see plaguing Android users, is world creators not accounting for them 😟
for example, try Jar's AmongUs world...

[lilac delta]

mabye that's for the best xD

[knotty wind]

that world was just the most recent example in my mind, since i went to say hi to a friend in that world last night 😅
i was the Imposter, and it was almost impossible for me to kill people, because it opened their profile instead 🤷
i managed one kill person somehow, but i was just spam tapping people at that point...

[soft tangle]

I'm gonna pretend you didn't exist or whatever explanation you saysay

[lilac delta]

lol

[knotty wind]

they are just annoyed that i replied to their message 🤷
i can't keep track of who doesn't want me to interact with them... just waiting for them to learn how to ignore me 🤔

[soft tangle]

My previous chat got deleted and now I receive first warned (1/3) by mods, it's sound funny but you better not know what was about.

[lilac delta]

i typed lol before i knew sorry :c

[knotty wind]

no idea what that was about 😕

[soft tangle]

It's been a year now since VRChat update their Home World in 2024! https://youtu.be/RQ3LCryWa0A?feature=shared

This means in 5 days from now on, I'm gonna celebrate myself 1 Year Anniversary for playing VRChat soon! 😳

[wet sorrel]

Already a year?

It seems a long time ago

I seem to be having an issue with my mouse only being able to click in the main menu, but not able to look around for some reason.

you connected a mouse to your Android phone? 😕
it might not be supported... you could go make a bug report about it though, here: https://feedback.vrchat.com/mobile-beta

[toxic panther]

I have a question, does the Android Mobile version of VRChat have controller support?

There's an Anbernic device I am getting soon called the RG Slide which will be for misc. stuff including Android games.

One of the games I am thinking of including is VRChat, and I am wondering if the mobile version has any controller support?

[vale edge]

I have no idea what the thing you mentioned is, but the game does work with my Xbox controller.

There isn't a way to invert the view for whatever reason tho so if you can only play inverted then you'll have a hard time.

[visual moss]

I also have vrchat mobile working with an Xbox controller, but is it possible to use the gesture menu, where you can usually change the gesture of the right hand and different facial emotions?

[novel dagger]

Happy 1st Anniversary in VRChat 🎉

1st July 2024 is the first day the moment I'm registered and playing VRChat for the first time ever! The reason why I was here because of Furry Fandom that very active here in VRChat and existence Furality was held recently as VR Furry Conventions last year.

Hopefully, if I have extra budget I'm definitely want to upgraded by buying some VR stuff (& PC gaming) for better experience playing VRChat in the future! Including personal avatars too! 😄🦊

[urban wren]

Idk what happened here but damn every avi I wore is straight up green meshes stuff 🧍🏻‍♂️🧍🏻‍♂️

[wet sorrel]

@soft tangle Happy 1 year of vrchat

[muted harness]

idk it was me or the application loads very slowly

I also have an error sending and receiving invitations, since the last time I tried to send a request to join but he never got the notification.

[knotty wind]

might be a connection issue, such as bad wifi... try changing to mobile-data and see if it works better?

[mild depot]

Not sure if this is a bug or intended, but I currently cannot show very poor avatars on mobile. (with no very poor avatars shown except my own))

[severe kayak]

There is a hard limit of 4 very poor avatars that may be visible at any given time on Android. iOS I believe does not support Very Poor avatars(?)
#android-announcements message

[mild depot]

Sorry let me specify.

[severe kayak]

Is there a message that appears up when you attempt to manually show an avatar?

Sometimes avatars can be blocked if the device is low on system memory

[mild depot]

no.

[mild depot]

it simply doesn't swap to shown, it returns to default immediately, no message

[mild depot]

I'm running it on a Note 20 ultra with no other apps open

[severe kayak]

Do you know if the avatar in question was uploaded for Android?

[mild depot]

It was. It functions fine on quest.

It doesn't work for me with any quest compatible very poor avatars

Might just need to open a ticket.

[severe kayak]

You might want to share a screenshot of an affected avatar's nameplate. There'll usually be an icon in the corner detailing why the avatar was unable to load

[mild depot]

Its the usual perf blocked icon

[severe kayak]

And have you tried adjusting the uncompressed memory thresholds?

[heady sparrow]

if its the performance blocked then its blocked for performance

[mild depot]

Its at the max (40mbs)

[mild depot]

read above please

[heady sparrow]

I did and thats literally what is happening

vrchat is very off and on about if very poor should be enabled for mobile

[mild depot]

You can manually show up to 4 very poor avatars. It is not working.

[heady sparrow]

and vrchat can very easily just disable that for performance reasons

[mild depot]

#android-announcements message

[heady sparrow]

the force show isnt an end all be all feature
there is still safety put into place

[mild depot]

I'd appreciate more helpful input than "VRChat is unpredictable" If you don't mind

[severe kayak]

@mild depot I found a bug report that may be relevant. Here's the link, in case it helps
https://feedback.vrchat.com/mobile-beta/p/1626-bug-showing-very-poor-avatars-requires-multiple-clicks

[mild depot]

Thank you, this matches my experience

[wet sorrel]

I did have the same issue recently with non friends

[wet sorrel]

tested with one friend, and many nonfriends. Friends very poor avatars above 25 but up to 40mb can be shown. only nonfriends can't be shown

so analysis is friends only privledge

[fiery portal]

So I am unable to load the play button despite multiple restarts, switching between wifi/data and reinstalling the app.

Any idea how to fix it or is a unfixed bug at the moment?

[knotty wind]

the play button? it usually takes a little while, but i have never had issues with it 😕
it could be your wifi... try changing to mobile-data and see if the issue presist? but also besure to give the button a little while to load 🤔

[fiery portal]

I already have.

[knotty wind]

i am not sure what the Play button is loading for, but i assume it is just pre-loading your homeworld?... you can just navigate the launch app's menu to join a friend directly or an instance of a world 🤔
can you do that?

[naive bluff]

I think the "play button" is supposed to act as a "quick join" to a random instance.

What happens when you look for a world to join?

[fiery portal]

If I join a friend's instance, it stays on 'Loading your world (0%)'

[naive bluff]

What model of phone do you have?

[fiery portal]

Google Pixel 9

[knotty wind]

it usually only gets stuck like that if i have had the phone go asleep for a while with the app running, or had the app minimized for too long, and then try to join an instance... 🤔
i have never had an issue with it after opening the app fresh

[soft tangle]

I've visited this world just to see experimental bloom shaders by @severe kayak, and the graphics look so much better and vibrant than default! #ios-discussion message

It works well so far in Android platform without any issue

[manic marsh]

I’m on android 11 and up but I don’t see vrchat in the playstore

What seems to be my issue

[naive bluff]

What device do you have?

[manic marsh]

Onn

[naive bluff]

👀 Walmart makes smartphones now?

[manic marsh]

Tablet

Is it not available on tablets?

[naive bluff]

Which one do you have?

[manic marsh]

The onn 11 tablet pro

[naive bluff]

4GB RAM. There's your problem.

[manic marsh]

I’m not sure how to get more ram

[naive bluff]

You can't.

[manic marsh]

😭

[naive bluff]

Sorry.

[thorn meadow]

Do video players work

[lilac delta]

You buy more ram

[manic marsh]

Oh naur

[knotty wind]

you will have to buy a newer device with better specs (specifically one with more RAM)

[visual moss]

I've been optimizing my desired PC avatar for quest/android for the second month already. It's hard to work when you only have a potato laptop and a phone 😭

[knotty wind]

i know your pain 😓
however, that is very adorable 🥺

[wet sorrel]

Very well done

And if you have the ios install ready, just switch it to ios, and upload. iOs has no other restrictions to Android but separate platform.

[visual moss]

no problem. The only thing is that it is incredibly difficult for me to work on the dress, since here I do not use physics, but only binding to the legs, in connection with this a lot of difficulties arise

[wanton mortar]

Does anyone know how to solve this?? When i want to play with my phone sideways it keeps glitching and going from portrait mode and to sideways over and over and when i actually am on portrait mode it stays sideways

[signal thorn]

Maybe lock it in place when you play

So it doesn’t move

[wanton mortar]

I did that and that worked but after a while it once again forced me into portrait mode?? It basically ignored my phone settings lmao

The game was working fine before this started happening recently

[signal thorn]

Idk what to say then

[knotty wind]

i usually just enable "Auto-Rotate" in Android and have no issues 🤔

[soft tangle]

I see you using Xiaomi phone and I have same issue here. Rotation (gyro) became too sensitive since previous update, but works fine if stay still on flat position.

Anyway, Xiaomi ain't my device (borrowed) so I just share what I have experience before

[ivory elm]

woah!! alia!! really awesome to see it even reach android lol

[north plank]

Android users are really lucky ngl, they can install whatever they want

[north plank]

Wow it’s soo cool

Chat what’s the best android phone for vrchat? I’m to tired of waiting for vrchat on iOS soo I am gonna buy android just for vrc, pls kindly suggest me a good android phone

[visual moss]

I don't know what to say, preferably with a lot of RAM, 8 gb and a snapdragon 700 processor or higher. But personally, with 6 gb ram, vrchat works quite well for me

[visual moss]

But I think it would be wiser to buy PC/quest? Vrchat mobile is not that good and there are many bugs with every update 🤔

[soft tangle]

Eh, it's got less bug issue now actually but devs sometimes f up features that never been broken before every time new update release. If ain't broke, don't fix it!

[wet sorrel]

Best setup is PC/VR. Android and ios is great for on the go, and away from home. And for testing Quest side. But it is great for an introductory experience before diving deeper. It has been a trying two years next month, but we got a compromise for very poor avatars. So it has gotten better.

[severe kayak]

I would usually recommend the Pixel series for VRChat (6a for something that 'just works', 7a for 8GB of memory)

but the Quest 3S is $250 right now for Amazon Prime Day, which is a similar price range to those devices. If you don't already have a headset, I'd recommend going with the Quest 3S instead

[wet sorrel]

Quest 3/3S great options to experience the immersion, plus less mic breaking

The longest I go on vrchat mobile is usally 1 hour, even with power source.

[lilac delta]

Avoid 6a. That phone is useless now. Vrchat mobile was build with a 7a so i suggest the 7a ^w^

Quest 3s + pixel 8a would be a sick combo for budget people

[gusty bison]

I have a question does it available for tablets?

[naive bluff]

Uhh... if it has at least 6GB of RAM which tablets usually don't have.

Though, navigation might be a bit awkward.

[crystal wasp]

how do i lock the game on horizontal?

[crystal wasp]

is there a fix for that?

i got the redmi note 14 pro+

[knotty wind]

i haven't found a way to do it... i think the "Google Game" overlay thingy has an option to lock orientation, but i don't remember having luck with it 🤔
i usually just enable "Auto-Rotate" in Android and live it that 😅

[north plank]

already have it :P

[subtle coral]

What andriod phone do u guys recommend?

[wet sorrel]

The more ram the better

I have Samsung Galaxy S23 FE myself. And another friend has S25

[lilac delta]

What brand you prefer and what's your budget?

[subtle coral]

Well i wanna try a samsung and any budget is fine

[lilac delta]

then spoil yourself and get the S25 Ultra ^w^ avoid the S25 Edge

great camera's, great battery, extra S-pen and well big fancy screen

[subtle coral]

I see i can make gifs with it also which was cool when i watch the video

[wet sorrel]

12 GB of ram lets the mic be clearer

Another friend has the S25. Others tell me my mic is breaking with 8 GB of ram on my S23FE. But rejoining the instance fixes it.

[sweet sluice]

Apparently, vrchat Mobile has a widget, similar to vrchat+

[woven quartz]

Hi

[subtle coral]

Ultra is so expensive

[tiny sleet]

Can anyone help me with vrc mobile

[naive bluff]

You need to explain the problem first.

[tiny sleet]

I'm Tryna play vrc mobile but unsupported device shows up and I have a one of the latest Samsung phones and it should work with my ram and version and cpu

@naive bluff

[naive bluff]

IS it an A or J-series?

[woven quartz]

Can anyone help me with my vrc mobile mic

[tiny sleet]

it Is a Samsung A03s

[naive bluff]

IT may be new... but it does not meet the minimum requirements.

It also came out in 2021.

[woven quartz]

Samsung S23,

[naive bluff]

Did you sideload it? 👀

[woven quartz]

Wdym

[naive bluff]

Your phone doesn't meet min. requirements either.

6GB of RAM and Android 10 are the minimum reqs.

[woven quartz]

Oh

[naive bluff]

Your phone (Ashley) only has 4, Car's only has 3.

[tiny sleet]

Is there any apk for vrc i can download that works and let's me play instead of staying on the loading screen at 0%

[woven quartz]

How can I fix my mic

[naive bluff]

You would have a VERY bad time.

[woven quartz]

That's all I need help with my mic

[naive bluff]

What is wrong with your mic?

[woven quartz]

It sounds like I'm breaking up and no one cant hear me right

[naive bluff]

Check your noise gate.

[tiny sleet]

Anyone know how to get face tracking on GeForce now for vrchat?

[north dawn]

Does anyone know why on mobile my only option is push to talk, I cant toggle my mic or have it always on

[unreal rapids]

Er i wouldn't normally ask- but why can't i see my avatar even if i turned shield off?-

[cobalt perch]

I cant for the life of me reset my main account password im so fucking pissed off right now I have so many good friends on this account

Fml bro

[wet sorrel]

You can connect a headphone mic, and then have the mic always on

[cobalt perch]

Dm me if anyone knows how to get around this

God

[wet sorrel]

If you hit forget password, it will send you a message to the email you use and an email verification code

[wet sorrel]

Does the avatar show it is PC only, or is there an X next the Windows and Android symbol of your avatar pic?

[unreal rapids]

It shows only windows icon- i assume if i use pc then I'm able to see it?

[cobalt perch]

Its sending me a reset code for my alt, im talking about my main

[wet sorrel]

That is why. You need an Android compatible avatar

[unreal rapids]

Ohhhh. Makes sense-

Thank you

[wet sorrel]

You're welcome

[wet sorrel]

Is your main account one with the 4 extra characters?

[cobalt perch]

Yes

[pallid jay]

samsung s23 has 8?

[naive bluff]

Nono, A23s.

[pallid jay]

oh, they edited their message.

[naive bluff]

Ohhh.

[wet sorrel]

Your main account is a guest account, and not an official vrchat account. If you mobile alt account is a guest account, choose which one you want to make as an official account. Official vrchat accounts can be used across platforms, guest accounts can only be used on the one platform

[cobalt perch]

Oh my god

Well

How do I make an official account but keep everything like my friends

If its possible

Oh fuck I cant

Im gonna lose everything

[wet sorrel]

You can make an official vrchat account and link it. Under settings, there is a token to copy, and you connect on the vrchat website

On the website, after you make your official vrchat account, go to Account Link, and add your token there.

Everything should transfer

Only thing to not transfer is your recent avatars and recent worlds lists

[lunar terrace]

Has anyone's phone ever almost crashed while being in a private VRC server by yourself? I'm pretty sure my phone is stronger than my quest 2 (Cus games like Rec Room and Roblox run infinitely better along with running with higher graphic settings) but then when I play VRChat, my phone struggles run even peak 120 (every few seconds) and sometimes randomly starts running up to 5 fps. I'm using a Galaxy S23 FE.

[naive bluff]

Gotta remember, VRC is a UGC game, it's going to run poorly because optimization struggles.

[lunar terrace]

That doesn't mean my phone has to completely crash in a private server by MYSELF while my quest 2 (PROBABLY EVEN QUEST 1 IN THIS CASE) Doesn't even crash at all.

[naive bluff]

Is your avatar Very Poor?

[lunar terrace]

Nope, I was using a avatar at the time.

[lunar terrace]

My phone froze and I almost had to restart it. Never EVER encounter lag like this before.

As far as I know, only if you use a connected, physical keyboard 😭

Ah damn. Thanks

[orchid owl]

What do you mean by gestures?

[visual moss]

I think I got it, this is something you can use on PC by holding shift+ 1,2,3, etc. When the avatar changes facial expression or hand gesture

I have a question, is there any way to use gestures on the Xbox controller?

The widget is so cute😩

check the microphone threshold in VRChat's sound settings, if it is set too high, that will happen

Its at 9

[plucky lantern]

Is the game discontinued or what

[naive bluff]

No?

Why would it?

no, i still use the app... why do you ask? 😕
you just can't install it on your Android phone if it doesn't meet the requirements: #android-announcements message

[knotty wind]

the fix is currently in Open Beta, we just don't have access to the Open Beta build on Android 😅
(as far as i remember... i can't find it right now)

[wispy galleon]

rip

[soft tangle]

That's the problem with VRC developer which is a joke sometimes 🤦🏻‍♂️

It took them 1 month to fix simple little bug (non critical) while other games out there took less time to fix it! Or Hotfix for short…

[opal osprey]

Im having a issue where's its not loading me into worlds is anyone else having this issue?

[naive bluff]

#server-status

[knotty wind]

VRChat usually only do monthly updates, and they don't have a beta branch for Android... so i assume they don't have a good way of testing releases 😟
aside from that, they probably have limited resources allocated to the Mobile version of VRChat 😓

[lilac delta]

Lately it feels like both mobile apps got sidelined.

[hybrid tendon]

I want to hear avatar sound

[knotty wind]

not gonna happen on Quest or Android, just not possible with the hardware limitations

[wet sorrel]

We got a limited amount of very poor avatars for both mobile versions. That was the big one. But everything else seems to be fixes to things broken.

[pallid jay]

gonna have to play on pc, its not a thing on mobile & quest for a reason

[visual moss]

Guys, how do you display this world on your phone? I have partially black elements

This is the first world in which I encountered such a problem, other worlds are displayed normally. I would like to know if anyone else has encountered this?

[naive bluff]

What model of phone do you have?

[vale edge]

Exynos or mediatek processor?

[vale edge]

Seen graphical bugs like that on some less common SOCs like from Samsung or MediaTek. Drivers just aren't as good as snapdragon. Curious what the soc on this phone is, especially since it looks like you're in a location where those are more common.

[visual moss]

First of all, I would like to see how this world is reflected in others. 🗿

[naive bluff]

On mobile or...?

[visual moss]

Yeah, I just want to see a screenshot of how this world looks on other people's phones, because I have no problems with a similar world in pink tones.

[naive bluff]

It helps to know what your phone is to make a proper comparison, though.

You clearly have a Samsung phone but I don't know which one.

[visual moss]

Yes, Samsung, with the Mediatek process, I know that they will tell me now how weak my phone is, and that 6 gb ram is very little, but I was just interested in how this world is displayed by others, and nothing more 🗿

[naive bluff]

Hmm...

[visual moss]

Okay, thanks for the information 🗿👌🏻

[naive bluff]

This is on my OnePlus Open in tablet mode.

[vale edge]

Hey I nailed it, MediaTek. Drivers just aren't as well developed as snapdragon. Seen these issues plenty with them over the years in other games and with emulation.

[visual moss]

This is the first time I have such a problem and only in this world

[warm trout]

Do we have to get vrchat through steam on android?

[naive bluff]

No, you get it from the Play Store.

[warm trout]

That’s sarcasm isn’t it

[naive bluff]

No?

[warm trout]

I can’t find it

[naive bluff]

Is your phone supported?

You can find the minimum requirements in #android-announcements.

[warm trout]

I have an ao3s

[naive bluff]

Nope, your phone does not meet the minimum requirements.

[warm trout]

Dang 💔

[naive bluff]

Your phone only has 4GB of RAM, 6 is the minimum.

[warm trout]

Okay thanks

[visual moss]

Is it normal that when I go to some worlds from my phone, there are literally black outlines/cubes around the plants/tree leaves. Is this a feature of quest, or a mobile bug?

[naive bluff]

Quest doesn't support transparency, people were using an exploit to force it.

[visual moss]

So, for quest this is normal and we just have to accept it? It's just that in some worlds there are literally transparent elements, even with glitter and complex shaders, but such plants are painful to look at

[naive bluff]

It also might be your phone.

[visual moss]

I don't think so, because I checked it on snapdragon, there is the same situation

[naive bluff]

You have two phones?

[visual moss]

This is my old phone.

[naive bluff]

But you have two phones?

[visual moss]

Yes

[naive bluff]

What's your other phone (the Snapdragon one)?

[visual moss]

But the Snapdragon 720g has a fairly weak processor, although it correctly displays the world I wrote about above, there are other serious problems, such as constant rotation and incorrect display of the screen orientation.

Yes, both my phones are budget and have 6 gb of RAM, since they are very expensive here 😓

At least it's not my phone anymore, but a phone that my relative uses, and I took it purely for testing.

Also, this world remains a big mystery to me, since I have never been able to enter it. And I don't think it's the amount of RAM, since my friend with 8 GB of RAM has the same problem, the world literally crashes right away...

I don't know, maybe it's a matter of processors, since my friend has a processor at my level, or even weaker... 🤔

I would even say that several of my friends tried to load this world, and they all crashed...

I create a list of all the worlds that are displayed with errors for me, so that I can later compile a bug report, of course I understand that I should take into account the factor of my hardware and RAM, but I think it is still worth reporting

I remember last winter they released a mobile update to vrchat that literally broke everything for me, and after a bug report, a few updates later they fixed it... 🤷🏻‍♂️

[vale edge]

Quest hardware supports transparency.

Quest avatars don't allow it aside from the particle shader which is transparent.

Quest worlds are unrestricted and you can use transparent or cutout fine.

Quest struggles with overdraw, some transparency is fine as long as you limit overdraw.

[naive bluff]

Ah, misinterpreted the issue.

[pallid jay]

^ i think it's just the world being badly converted to quest

[soft tangle]

It can be this reason too! Even the device are flagship and powerful chipset.

There's one world that I have visited, and it looks broken when some assets just black void like this #android-discussion message for example. Here's the world https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_7bd3e414-31be-45bf-9fb3-ba8f42d3bf4c/info

[visual moss]

Excuse me, does this world work on your phone?

[wet sorrel]

Never used it on phone, but yes on Quest. Only issue is if your gogo loco is out of date, it won't work.

[visual moss]

What does gogo loco have to do with it?

[wet sorrel]

If you want your avi to sit or laydown. That is it

[visual moss]

Well, I have the latest version of Gogo Loco installed, but the problem is that I can't even enter this world from my phone, it crashes right away. And the problem is not in the RAM, since my friend with 8 gb ram also crashes

[visual moss]

https://feedback.vrchat.com/mobile-beta

[visual moss]

But I shared the phone's specifications...

i meant in a bug report 😛
you can't rely on VRChat devs reading anything in this channel

[visual moss]

Sorry, I corrected it.

[knotty wind]

Drift Paradise by Thunderbird324
there are a bunch of black surfaces around, looks like it might be windows or something... but i don't have access to a Quest, so i can't say if that is normal for the Quest/Android version 🤔
unless there is something specific you can point out that is black on your end but isn't on mine 😅

[visual moss]

Finally finished my desired avatar, I will of course use it on the phone, since I have a potato laptop...

[knotty wind]

adorable 🥺

[visual moss]

However, I started learning to optimize PC avatars and add various functions for quest, in order to make my mobile gameplay at least a little brighter...
🫠

[knotty wind]

yeah, the current mainstream avatar creators seems to be very focused on using unoptimized ways of adding customizations and such... such as tons of toggle-able outfits or random items and gadgets 😞
it is so much easier to make an optimized avatar when you realize you can make each outfit a separate avatar upload, this is basically how the nice avatars on the in-game avatar marketplace work too 😅

[visual moss]

It's just that in the same "Prismic's Avatar Search" there are many avatars with terrible shaders and broken functionality, it's quite difficult to find something really high-quality there

[knotty wind]

ah, yeah... of course... a lot of the avatars in that database are just grabbed from random users that likely uploaded their first avatar and made it public for no reason 😅
or by people that don't care much for Android/Quest users and didn't do much of anything to make it look good on that platform 😓
basically, a lot of avatars you will find in those avatar-search worlds, were never actually meant to be for serious public use, so it is very hit-and-miss there 🤷

[wet sorrel]

But with Prismics you can filter for each platform which is done very well

[soft tangle]

What do you call your avatar name? It have a bit vibe of Somna design

[white thistle]

Is controller on mobile really worth it? I was thinking of trying it but Idk how it works (or if it works in the first place), nor if it changes anything, Idk :p

I'm not really knowledgeable about this so some info would be cool, thanks. 💚

[visual moss]

Well, this is a ready-made author's character who has a name and lore, I just optimized it for android and added the functions I needed

[visual moss]

I tried the Xbox controller, in fact there is one plus, it is moving objects away/closer, and also rotation, which is not available in the usual mobile controls

[steep pendant]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-commander-cody-yawnby-clone-wars-gif-24387320

[white thistle]

Can it also access gestures and facial expressions without manually going in the action menu and instead is accessed with buttons?

And, does it require a complex set up before I'm able to use it? (like button mapping for example)

I've done some research but I still need someone that have tried it to confirm if my information is correct or not before I decide to commit.

[visual moss]

I myself am looking for an answer to the possibility of changing facial expressions/gestures via the Xbox controller, I was told that it seems like the buttons need to be reassigned, but I have no idea how to do this on the phone...

[white thistle]

Apparently there are mapping apps on android but it might get complicated, I'll do more research.

[visual moss]

Okay, I'll wait)

[white thistle]

There is an app named "Mantis Gamepad Pro Beta", but I can't try anything since I don't have a controller, it needs two devices to set up either Android and Android, or Android and PC, you set it up once then play as you wish, but if your phone restarts or the "permission" provided by the app restarts, you have to reactivate it again (set up already is done no need to do again, just reactivate it).

You can search more about it and try it if you want.

[visual moss]

Ok, I'll definitely test it, if everything really works, I'll let you know

[white thistle]

Cool

I mean, you can fix some stuff if you play with the settings here and there, but overall, VRChat mobile is new so it naturally has many issues, and from what I'm seeing now, the developers are probably more focused on other platforms rather than VRChat mobile (Desktop and Quest/VR), so..

[muted harness]

I don't know if it's just me, but when I join a group where my friend is, I see my photo but not his, although the other person's photo does appear. (It must be a mistake because he hasn't blocked me and I still appear on his friends list, but I can't see him in the same instance as me.)

[knotty wind]

what do you mean by photo? can you show a picture? 😕

[cerulean pond]

Wat up Mobile gang

[honest steppe]

Now on oneui7 it doesn't crash anymore even with 4gb of ram, and run better this is on a galaxy a14 5g too

[lilac delta]

you need 6gb

OneUI 7 doesnt change that

[vale edge]

You need 6gb to download it from the play store. But it's not a technical limit, it does indeed run on less memory, you may just experience more frequent crashing.

[sullen parcel]

There is still nothing new about the facial tracking orientation issue? ):

[visual moss]

Vrchat mobile hasn't been updated for over a month 🫠

[lilac delta]

Still 6gb man. Vrchat stated multiple times that android devices under 6gb can only run the launcher, the play button should be greyed out under 6gb. I can't check cause it's been so long since i had an android under 6gb xD if you managed to run it congrats!

[craggy sierra]

I've got 4 gigs and I used an apk to get it on my phone, I can't get into worlds unfortunately and it often crashes on the home page

[naive bluff]

[visual moss]

It might also be affected by your graphic processor.

[knotty wind]

the new update is still in Open Beta, hopefully it will be released this week 🤷

[flat shadow]

Hey everyone. I haven't played in a long time in android. How good is it now. Amd do we have bettwr control or more functions maybe?

[wet sorrel]

We have very poor avatars which we can have upto 4 shown at one time, selfie expression which is face and head tracking ( in landscape mode needs to be fixed), mic issue can be solved by rejoining instance, some people have used mouse, keyboard, and controller for movement.

[white thistle]

It still isn't worth playing for me, I don't think much have changed, not that I noticed, still very scuffed and laggy.

[wet sorrel]

I went from a 6GB to 8GB, and became more stable for me.

Mic still breaks

[white thistle]

My phone is 12GB, literally double the required RAM, my phone is working great on other apps but not vrchat.

Therefore, the problem is often VRChat, not the devices.

[heady sparrow]

Vrchat itself isnt a problem
Its more the fact its entirely ugc driven

[knotty wind]

i don't have such issues with mine... so curious as to what phone model you have 🤔

[knotty wind]

i agree that user-generated content causes a lot of performance issues... but for Android mobile, we are limited in number of VERY POOR avatars that can be shown, so i would have hoped it wasn't as big an issue, as it is on Quest standalone 😟
but yes, issues with lag and such, is usually a user issue... allowing too many poorly optimized avatars shown at once, or unoptimized worlds... 😓

[wet sorrel]

4 very poors is a nice compromise

[knotty wind]

yeah, i am happy with that... if it wouldn't cause a huge backlash, i wish they would do it for Quest standalone too... but i guess they already have their current method for detecting when the device is running out of RAM, and it mostly works 😅

the 4 very poor avatars limit on Android is however still not communicated very well in the UI... so unless you know about the feature already, it would likely confuse people 🤔

[wet sorrel]

Mhm. I was able to get 33 avis on the Quest 3 fully shown, but that was during Furality. Now if moderating a group instance, just the base avi.

[white thistle]

"ugc" is still within the realm of VRChat, that just means that VRChat lacks more optimization and modifications that make the ugc fit more without any issues, if it weren't for ugc vrchat wouldn't be where it is now.

Either way, I really do wish the developers a good luck, I think this requires quite a lot of time and effort to fix it.

[white thistle]

ELI-NX9

My phone is Honor 200

[knotty wind]

"ugc" is still within the realm of VRChat,
yes, and VRChat suggests that people optimize their UGC, but they don't... so VRChat suggests that people that enable VERY POOR performance rated avatars from everyone, but people still do 🤷
short of totally removing very poor performance rated avatars from VRChat, they can't do anything other that politely ask people to optimize their stuff 😐

[white thistle]

I don't think you understand what I mean, nor do I understand what you guys mean, but that's okay.

[wet sorrel]

It would take away the freedom to express yourself. But if your intentions are to make an avatar or world that crashes, or lags others, then that is a no.

Ohhh you need to payyy

[ivory drift]

Anyone else have issues with not being able to use mic to talk

When i press the mic button all other audio cuts out and no one can even hear me

[knotty wind]

if you don't have a headset connected/pluggedin, yes it lowers other sound to limit feedback 😅
but your microphone isn't picking you up?
check this: #android-dev message

[lunar terrace]

I think its the app itself that just somehow destroys your phone. I have a Samsung S23 FE and it runs games like Roblox and Rec Room fine (My quest 2 can't even run that good) but when my phone runs VRChat, it runs worse than a quest 1. My entire phone almost crashed one time because I was in my homeworld (nothing but a platform and a mirror) and I was using a excellent rated avatar, but then my game freezes, and then my entire phone freezes, I had to wait about a minute to even barely close the app and wait for my phone to become smooth again.

[naive bluff]

What device do you havde?

[knotty wind]

#android-discussion message

[white thistle]

Yeah, this is some of what I meant to say.

[soft tangle]

VRC optimization are not good enough (poor). That's why this problem never solved even you have better specs (people would still kept saying it's your device problem lmao)

[wet sorrel]

I have a Samsung S23 FE too

I still set my safetys

[lunar terrace]

I was in an optimized homeworld with an optimized avatar though, so it doesn't make sense

[visual moss]

Meanwhile I use non optimized avatars and I have mediatek with 6 gb ram and never had such a hard freeze

[shell maple]

My little A16 dont do shit

[white thistle]

This is confusing..

go see #ios-info and #ios-discussion message for details 🤷

[ivory drift]

Hello sorry for late response was busy and i tried what you referred and set the threshold to 0% but it still stayed the same even after re-downloading and i was using the phone's inbuilt microphone next time i will try with my earphones to see if it works

Im using a M35 that came out last year idk if theres any graphics settings yet as i didn't try to find any to tweak but the game itself runs pretty fine and only crashed once while going Through a portal after like 3 hours of playtime

[knotty wind]

not what this channel is for... and isn't this borderline self-promotion? 😕
a better place for it is likely #general-media or something... 🤔

[vocal hull]

Why is the mobile selfie expression still has the bent spine error

[visual moss]

Because the developers are too lazy, I don't understand what could have been done in a month and a half...

[vocal hull]

Hope they fix it

Soon

[visual moss]

a feeling that with the slightest movement the head bends to the side 😮‍💨

Well, at least it's better than it was.

[vocal hull]

Better?? I can't put my phone on horizontally because it bends the spine. I can only use selfie expression vertically...Before was better

[visual moss]

Well, everything works for me in a horizontal position, I just need normal lighting.

[visual moss]

Have you tried improving the lighting?

[naive bluff]

They're not lazy, it's called "certification". Each update has to go through a rigorous QA process to make sure it won't break anyone's phones.

And this can take months to do.

[soft tangle]

I still like face tracking on first version more!

Only the head moving but this new one half body swaying together and bending too much like a jelly, also doesn't have hand tracking either (doesn't look weird if we had that cuz desktop version share similar movement too)

[visual moss]

I also like the first version of head tracking better, it's a pity that they didn't add the ability to bring it back

[soft tangle]

Yeah, I don't think they will bring it back the old way unfortunately. No matter like it or not

[vocal hull]

Gonna try that later

[knotty wind]

best to just write on the currently tracked bug report that it isn't fully fixed yet, here: https://feedback.vrchat.com/mobile-beta/p/mobile-selfie-expression-isssue

[visual moss]

It's fixed, you just need normal lighting. But before it seemed to work better even with bad lighting 🤔

[knotty wind]

ah, i guess it is fine then 😅
but can still write that you think it worked better before (before it broke that is)

[visual moss]

I wanted to know how "very poor" avatars affect performance in the mobile version? Because when I use them, nothing really changes and performance remains quite stable

Both me and my friends with whom I am on the map

At least if there are no more than 10-15 people in the instance

I'm also wondering, in the head tracking section, what are the "auto-centering speed" and "calibration distance" functions responsible for?

[knotty wind]

VRChat is basing their performance limits on "what if 40+ people in an instance all have this very VERY POOR avatar on, and an Android user joins?" you know, worst-case scenarios is what you plan for 😅

you have to remember that VERY POOR avatars are also extremely beyond what is recommended... 😓
you know the saying "this is why we can't have nice things," a lot of the eboy/egirl avatar creators are very lazy with optimization... 😞

[knotty wind]

the way it was explained to it, it is to slowly recalibrate back to center over time... if you disable it, you will see your face tracking going out of sync at some point 🤔

[wet sorrel]

Landscape selfie expression works properly for me

[white thistle]

Still doesn't work for me, have to hold my phone vertically.

[wet sorrel]

Did you update the game?

[white thistle]

Oh, I did update it now and yes it works now, but very choppy and glitchy, also causes a lot of lag/frame drop.

[wet sorrel]

That usually happens when I'm in an area with poor reception, or many people are in the area.

[white thistle]

This is like the third time I've seen you promote in a random unrelated channel.

[fallow beacon]

[fallow beacon]

I have a problem that if someone puts or creates a photo inside the VRChat map, the game closes.

and I can't enter the other VRChat servers because it gives me too much lag

@naive bluff And I'm already talking about the shields, but I don't know if I have to do anything else.

I still can't enter another map because it closes on me.

[naive bluff]

You mean you crash if someone uses an emote or sticker?

[fallow beacon]

@naive bluff

that gives me a lot of lag

Turn auto rotate off?

[wanton mortar]

I tried that, but it still keeps somehow turning the screen??? Its so weird

[quick halo]

Mmm not sure

I turned it off while loading in

[knotty wind]

is it only VRChat doing that?

[wanton mortar]

Yes, nothing else

And the game worked well a while ago, this came out of nowhere

[fallow beacon]

@polar schooner ?

[wet flume]

Us mobile players can't use different avatars like downloaded ones.

[visual moss]

What's the problem? My uploaded avatars work fine

[wet flume]

Like can you do it through android? If so then how?

[visual moss]

No way, you can only upload your avatars from PC, via unity sdk.

[wet flume]

Like I want to use a custom free avatar you see on a avatar website.

[wet flume]

Well there is my answer. I don't have a PC

[lilac delta]

vrchat is and will always be a unity game, and unity is desktop only, that's common sense that you can't upload on mobile

would be dope is unity alteast made an ipad version tho xD blender is doing it

[wet flume]

Buddy I didn't know about. It's my first time on VR chat and I barely use it anyways.

[lilac delta]

?tag scam

[winter ore]

Hey ho 👋 I see you're looking for commissions.

You will probably receive DM's or friend requests from scammers now (or later) that will try to offer you their services. 😖

🚫 Absolutely DO NOT engage with those, regardless of how competent they might seem or their excuse to why they contact you.
This is unsafe practice used by scammers, and also breaks this Discord's rules. 👮

If you seek a creator, check out VRCTraders and follow their protocols strictly 🥺
(You will get DM from bot to verify your account upon join.)

🌠 It's extremely important to always DEEPLY investigate the account and social media of the person you plan to commission.
Is their social media linked in Discord? Is it legitimate? Are the references stolen? (Try to reverse image search posts to check.) 👀
The quality of fake profiles out there can be crazy good, be aware of that and NEVER engage with DM or friend requests that originate from the artist.

When in the slightest doubt, do not commission them and contact the moderators of the involved communities. 😱

[knotty wind]

adorable 🥺

[white thistle]

A very beautiful avatar indeed, I like it.

Although I don't know why is it posted here :p

[knotty wind]

they are just showing off the Android app i guess 😅
but i wouldn't notice them if they were posted in #vrchat-pictures... so i don't really mind, and it is not like there is a lot of discussion going on in this channel right now 🤔

[visual moss]

Well, these are photos/screenshots taken in the mobile version of Vrchat. Let people see that in the mobile version you can also do something more or less interesting in terms of photos...

I just really wish more people would notice the mobile version of vrchat...

[visual moss]

Oh yeah, my problem was fixed and now this card works great on my mediatek 🥳

[sharp imp]

I would play on mobile if it worked on my phone lol

[soft tangle]

VRChat Android use to have watermark on top right of the screen in previous update but it's gone now because we aren't part of open beta anymore (full releases)

[visual moss]

Thanks for letting me know, I just noticed it now 😅

But in my play market it still says "early access"🤔

[soft tangle]

Devs still refuse to leave early access status while the game already full release in 2 years now. Early access only applied on brand new app release on app market

[wet sorrel]

You're right! Can't believe it has been 2 years.

A little photo guide of what we had from 2023 to now.

The orange one is Day 2 when very poors worked for a few days, next to it is the imposter of my current blue one. My blue one wasn't quest compatible in August 2023. 3rd pic is fallback, 4th is the very poors returning in the A/B test, and then we have today.

Saw an update, and finishing it with working Landscape Mode

I was looking at my 1st pictures on vrc mobile, and I started 8/17/2023.

[knotty wind]

[wet sorrel]

I like the orange nanachi my friend had, he made my blue one with some reduction. And I uploaded it. I did pay him for the work.

The problem is even when i rejoin, at a certain time the audio always cuts again.

I legit just gave up on it

[urban wren]

💔

[knotty wind]

what even is your issue with it? 😕
if you have an issue, and you can reliably reproduce it, then you should definitely make a bug report 🤔
it could just be the issue is specific to your phone's model 😓
you make bug reports here: https://feedback.vrchat.com/mobile-beta

if bugs are reported, they will definitely never be fixed 😖

at must you should check if you have an update for the app that you haven't downloaded... which you can also check by seeing what build number you have in the in-game Main Menu -> Settings -> Debug menu

[ivory drift]

Guys i need help first it was my headphone's audio but now i can't hear anything from the mobile speaker aswell

And it shows the mic as the one in the mobile not the headset's

Reinstalling didn't help

[feral basin]

When will vrchat be available to every device

[naive bluff]

Explain?

[vale edge]

When's VRChat coming to the Nintendo DS?

[ivory drift]

I fixed it by deleting the game cache and data 🙏

[white thistle]

Does your mic work fine now without any glitching or needing to rejoin etc..?

[ivory drift]

The phone's in-built mic doesn't work at all but the headphone's is fine now

The in built never worked for me from the start for some reason

[wet sorrel]

I did buy a mic/headphone set, but later on the in game mic breaks eventually.

[white thistle]

I didn't buy a proper gaming headset, I'm still experimenting with whatever headphones I have before fully committing to the bit.

For now, my mic is always too quiet for some reason, even if I raise my voice, it barely picks up my voice, even though I'm not talking quietly, anyone having this issue?

[knotty wind]

ensure your microphone activation threshold isn't too high?

[proven wharf]

i heard that release is scheduled right after the commodore64 release

[white thistle]

I have it on 5%

And the mic output on 100%

[white thistle]

If I cleared the data, do I lose everything including my avatars, worlds, friends, etc..?

[ivory drift]

You won't lose friends since thats stored on cloud with your account but the couple avatars i had used did vanish but it was fine for me cause they were both free and i don't know about the worlds

And i don't think you will have to pay again for the avatars since thats also stored on the cloud

This only deletes the game data from your device not your account

So it kinda resets the settings and glitches

[white thistle]

Thank you very much

I'll also reinstall it just incase.

[torpid delta]

Something is wrong with the camera in vrchat mobile

They still haven't fixed it

[soft tangle]

I already know about this problem before they fix Selfie Expression which I need to play vertical entire time for face tracking. Unfortunately, I don't see people made a bug report for this because most people play horizontal than vertical so not a big issue (for me)

[torpid delta]

I can't play horizontal

[visual moss]

Is your screen constantly rotating?

[torpid delta]

Nope I can only play vertical

[knotty wind]

enable the "Auto-rotate" option in Android, you can add it as a quick button at top drawer-thingy, like this:

i just enable that every time i use the VRChat Android app 😅

[torpid delta]

Will it sort it out??

[torpid delta]

It wont

[knotty wind]

it will allow you to rotate the screen orientation, yes

[torpid delta]

I tried that but as soon as I go on to a game the phone doesn't like it

[knotty wind]

sounds weird... you can try making a bug report then... here: https://feedback.vrchat.com/mobile-beta

[feral badger]

I usually play on Desktop these days. Tried mobile just now and it crashes every single time I open the game due to low memory.

[naive bluff]

What phone do you have?

[feral badger]

A Sony Xperia 10 III. It has 6 GB RAM. Used to be enough for the game to run. Now it crashes straight away.

[visual moss]

I also have 6 gigs of RAM and it works fine

[visual moss]

does your game crash in the menu or in instances?

[feral badger]

In instances. Once I get into an instance it shows a "Disabling features - low memory" message and then crashes

[naive bluff]

Do you have a bunch of avatars shown?

[feral badger]

Months ago, that only happened after some time in-game.

Same avatar as before.

[visual moss]

Is your processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 690? I think this processor is too weak for vrchat...

[visual moss]

Even the Snapdragon 720g can barely cope.

[lunar terrace]

Does anyone else have performance issues? I have a phone that basically runs every game better than my quest 2, like Roblox and Rec Room, the only games I know of that are both on Quest and mobile, run way better on my phone at HIGHER graphics than they do on my quest 2 at LOWER graphics. But everytime I play VRChat on my phone, I run below 20 (rarely even reaches above 60) frames more than half of the time with HUGE lagspikes in an empty server with an optimized avatar while my quest 2 runs the game at 40 to 72 frames without ANY lagspikes. I have a Samsung Galaxy S23 FE by the way. (Fun Fact, VRChat once lagged my phone so bad that I almost had to completely restart it. the game froze, and then everything else on my phone froze for a good minute before I was able to close the app with the entire operating system lagspiking below 5 frames. I was in an optimized world with an optimized avatar, and even on my quest, it doesn't even lag at all unless you pull up your hand menu, and not even the lagspike from that is as intense as what you get on mobile while STANDING STILL)

[lilac delta]

VRChat is a real full game with still a ton of unoptimized stuff cause it's user created not vrc created. The reason other games work better is cause phones do not have the power to handle these workloads that vrc offers (unless you have a gaming phone or iphone, they can do much more) other games are either easier to run or more optimized. Plus quest 2 have a fan xD

Advice is either lower the settings in vrc or upgrade to a stronger not FE phone

[wet sorrel]

I have the exact same model phone. Most issues are with connectivity.

Does the mobile version have some movements options that allow me to move the hands?

My character looks so broken with only face and mouth moving

[toxic canyon]

Whitch one do y’all like most

[wet sorrel]

Just head and torso

[white thistle]

Nope unfortunately, everyone would really like such a feature, especially looking at what pc/desktop players have rn.

[wet sorrel]

At least you don't need vrc+ for the phone version

[white thistle]

Ye, but I turn it off anyway tbh, too much framedrops and lag, also it works much worse than before, the moment my phone isn't exactly directed straight to my facd (aka, the moment my phone is titled just tiny bit) the whole tracking breaks.

[visual moss]

If you have a PC, you can embed custom hand animations, as an option, you can use a mirror to move one hand

[visual moss]

I think I've shown you all the possibilities of hand movement in mobile vrchat

This is awesome! After my bug report on August 14th, the developers accepted my report and released an update that allows me to visit the world of "Thad Home of Cuddles" without any problems! 🥳

My phone with a Mediatek processor and 6 gb RAM began to feel much better in Vrchat mobile.

[visual moss]

I have never been able to enter this world before.

[wet sorrel]

Very awesome

[knotty wind]

[knotty wind]

did you mean to post this in #quest-general?

[austere dagger]

Somehow got into the beta test

[lilac delta]

Wait the app is still in beta?! I thought it left the beta a while back on Android mobile?

[austere dagger]

Yep apparently

[soft tangle]

It's more like Open Beta but we won't get any actual beta version unlike Quest standalone have. Just full public release like everyone else

[lilac delta]

Ohh i see

[soft tangle]

Well, this is the reason why they remove beta (watermark too) on mobile #open-beta-announcements message but they didn't removed beta registration on Play Store for a reason so it's useless now

While Quest standalone still have access to Open Beta as usual

[sand mirage]

yeee sorry man, I'm pretty sure Roblox is gone.

So uh, I got a new headset that my phone doesn't seem to be recognizing as a "microphone", my phone is Honor 200 (Android), any help is appreciated.

I can hear very well through it but can't talk from it, it is still set on phone default microphone.

[white thistle]

Btw guys I think I'm losing my mind, I think I saw the option of "toggle mic" a couple of hours ago but now it disappeared and only "push to talk" and "always off" are the only options available.

[torpid drift]

This corresponds to your last message, toggle mic options are only enabled on mobile if you're using an external mic

[white thistle]

Oh, thank you.

My voice still doesn't surpass the threshold though, whether with a mic or not... I'm not sure what is the issue as I'm seeing everything is fine on my end..

[flat kite]

I can't even download it and i meet the standards 😭

Im an android 15 and im pretty sure i got storage

[naive bluff]

Do you got the RAM?

[flat kite]

Just realized that, and i have a ram booster on

So i have like 8.0

[naive bluff]

👀

How much "extra RAM" do you have?
