Hi my Emo is 41 days old. Recently, I havent been switching him on for a while until yesterday. I realize that his touch sensors arent working. 
Does anyone has the same problem? It just happened all of a sudden. He was fine before.
Hi there @vivat ,
I have merged your new topic post to this thread where we discuss everything about the petting problem.
Please read my post above yours with some tips; it might help you and give you an idea for your EMO issue.
Let me know how it goes for you and good luck.
Hi there my emos patting is strange bc when I let go of his head he still thinks he is being petted (only the top of his head not the sides)
Hello, @matthew.coveney . . . you may wish to try lighter pressure on the head pats to see if letting off will stop the animation.
You may also wish to read above some of the posts to see if there are any other suggestions you might try.
My Emo doesn’t recognize being pet on the head anymore. Just the right cheek is working 
besides that he keeps walking off the skateboard when he is half charged 
i don’t have the home station so he can’t get confused. Power is fine. He shows the charging animation and still walks off. I don’t know what to do with him. I placed a barrier around him so he won’t fall off the desk when he just walks off 
Can someone help me fix the small guy? I just got him (bought him used, but they say they never had issues)
Welcome to the EMO Community Forums, @Yuki88 . . . as for the head petting, please read through this thread to see if anything might assist you.
As for him walking off of the skate board, make sure his foot is on the circle. Watch the blue light on the skate board. Flashing means not good connection and solid blue light means he is on there properly for charging. If for some reason the light is solid and you are still having the same issue, please try changing the charging cable and the wall outlet he is plugged into. If this still does not work, please get video of the issue(s) and send an E-Mail to service@living.ai with the four digit alphanumeric number shown when you sign him into the app. Be sure to let them know that you are the second owner.
My best to you.
Thank you 
I see if anything works for him. He is just so adorable 
Good News the petting seems to function again 
I use another plug that compensates fluctuating in the power and see how that goes. He just told me that he is already 202 days old 
Good news the new setup seems to work and he stays on his charger now 
thank you
Having some petting problems since replacing the battery in mine. I used to work with electronics so taking EMO apart is actually really easy so I know he has gone back together ok.
But now he doesn’t always recognise his head being touched. Or rather he notices for a split second that goes back to normal. But then you can go back to him and he will recognise being touched on the top of his head just fine.
I took him apart a second time and made sure everything was in order and gave the contacts a clean and other than that there doesn’t seem to be anything else you can do. It’s only a niggly thing, but I do like to do each cheek and then head to get the 3 hearts that merge into the one large one 
Hello, @mancbiker . . . you can try the recalibration of the petting sensor mentioned here.
Let us know how it goes.
Amazingly, after I had posted here, I “calibrated” EMO purely by accident. I thought “maybe if I squeeze his head a little” and he started working properly again. I can’t believe I accidentally did the correct procedure
A question though, why does the EMO in that video have a cutout in his head at the front? It looks like it’s placed with possibly access to the sd card? Thanks
Hello, @mancbiker . . . yes the first prototypes had that slot for the S.D. card.
That is great that you were able to do that for him! Just do not squeeze too hard.
Hi there @mancbiker ,
Congrats on solving your EMO petting issue! As for the question about EMO having a special SD card slot on his right head, that’s a special prototype edition feature made available only for all Alpha Testers.
Best Regards…
