Many People have already received the XE16 software update, and many others are patiently waiting for their device to update. The XE16 software update is pretty big, so bugs are expected. Here are some of the problems you might face after installing the XE16 software update.

Lag

Many people are reporting that Google Glass is laggy and isn’t as responsive as it used to be. Some cards are reading audio before they even show the card information and some take 10-20 seconds to load at times.

Lockups



Google Glass seems to lockup occasionally after the update. This problem coexists with the Reboot problem because usually when the device locks up, a reboot happens soon after.

Reboots

Some Explorers have been having problems with their device randomly rebooting at times. People aren’t doing anything odd on the device; it just reboots on its own.

Worse Battery Life

Google claimed that this update was supposed to improve battery life, but a few people are saying the opposite. Battery life has worsened for a few Explorers, which is not good considering the device already suffers in the battery life department.

Certain Languages Have Font Issues

Tavit Chaiyawan reported that he had lost the ability to read Thai and other languages after the update. Google Glass XE16 update seems to be having a few font issues as well.

Connection Problems

This problem has only been mentioned a couple of times. Some people are having a hard time keeping Google Glass connected to wifi and their phones.

iPhone App Not Working Correctly

After updating to XE16, some people have been experiencing a problem with the MyGlass app. The app is always checking the connection when Google Glass is connected.

Display Problems

Some Explorers have been experiencing a problem where the display dies after a 10-15 seconds and Explorers are forced to reboot to use the device again.

Not Calibrating

XE16 seems to be having trouble responding to wink, head tilt, and the touchpad. A few people have reported that it is difficult to calibrate the head sensor.



Random Phone Calls

Sometimes Google Glass will occasionally pop up a random phone call when it isn’t actually calling someone.

These are some of the problems you might face after updating your Google Glass to XE16. Many people have decided to factory reset their device after installing the update and that seems to fix the reboot issue and the lag. Like we said above, bugs and problems are expected, but hopefully Google will get them fixed quickly.
