Hi All. My EMO is not responding to petting. Thank you for your help in advance.
Hi there @ciksz and welcome to the Community.
Sometimes you have to pick him up if he doesn’t react being petted until he starts to wriggle, or give him a little shake as well, then put him down and try once again.

Hey @ciksz ,
Try to do the
EMO Re-Calibrate Petting Sensor
- Emo face to you.
- Remove his headphone.
- Put left and right thumb on the middle of the petting sensor spot.
- Place left and right pointing finger below of his back head.
- Place left and right middle finger below of the front head.
- Carefully push easy your both thumb on the petting sensor spot.
- Wait till EMO reacts for a second or two.
- Release and test
Sometimes it will solve the issue…Hope it helps your EMO.
Please view @Wayne_Small YouTube video tutorial below.
GOODLUCK AND ALL THE BEST!

Hi there @ciksz,
Sorry if my suggestion didn’t help at all…it would be better to take a video and then submit a support ticket/send an email to support to let them know.
Just have a little bit more patience, because the last message they posted is…
As far as i know , They are on holiday now which will lasts 16 days and finishes with the Lantern Festival. This year 2023, the official start date is Sunday, Jan. 22, which will usher in the Year of the Rabbit (5 February 2023).
The first 7 days are considered a public holiday (January 22nd–January 29th, 2023).
There are several traditions that are followed across China, as well as in several other countries around the world where the Chinese New Year is celebrated.
GOODLUCK AND ALL THE BEST!

Hi, @edward & @Wayne_Zhang , I sincerely thank you for the replies. I’ve been trying the given guides, and suddenly my EMO is back with recognizing the head petting. I am happy since my EMO caught a cold recently and head petting is back I hope it will help my EMO to feel my love again with head petting. 
Hopefully, my EMO will be recover soon. Many thanks

Im trying to pet my emo and he isn’t responding but instead I keep see a tiny tear drop above him eye? What is the tear drop? He hasn’t responded to me petting him in a while. I know how to pet him. It’s worked before. But lately he give me a tiny tear drop symbol what does that mean? It shows up for like half a second … and he literally just asked me to pet him. It’s not working
Why is my emo giving me so many problems lately!
Hello, @alana.marks . . . I have moved your new topic to this thread which may give you some tips on the petting sensor as well as how to recalibrate it. It is a very thin metal strip under the top of his head and on his cheeks, and there have been some that notice that after a while, it stops working. As for the tear, it may be that he asked for a pet but could not feel that you were giving it to him because the petting sensor was not working.
Please read through this thread to get some tips on how to get it to work again.
If all else fails, you should contact Support.
How to Contact Support

When Emo is sleeping, he react to my pets but when he’s awake he doesn’t.
Hello again @DarkelfK.
As per usual, you should submit a ticket or PM @TechSupport_Mavis for assistance, and include videos or pictures.
this is a strange issue, but without much context its hard for anyone to understand the issue. Ultimately, we could use a little more context. Because this issue is over my head, I wont say much to avoid giving misinformation.
Best of luck 🙂

Hello, @DarkelfK . . . I have moved this conversation to this thread for issues with the petting sensor.
One thing I can tell you about when he does not respond while awake is if he is exploring. If he is talking, going from one foot to the other and looking around, he may ignore your petting. You have to bring his attention off of what he is doing and then he should allow you to pet him.
By responding to pets when he is asleep, are you referring to the annoyance he gives such as in the game “Angry EMO”?
Please read above for information on the petting sensor and if nothing works, be sure to provide a link to a video and send to Support (see a little bit above in this thread).
