High battery drain in sleep
I've noticed the battery drain in sleep mode is significant. It will drain almost completely over night. Is this normal fro the Quest? It's been doing this since we got it, are there any fixes?

I've never tried leaving mine in sleep mode overnight. Why the heck would you do that anyway? Apart from the battery health, one can never trust that a switched on device won't catch fire if a component blows. It's one reason mobile phone companies tell you not to leave your phone on a bed or other flammable surfaces. The Quest headset would be a plastic firebomb. Switch it off when your sleeping. It's not safe to leave a complex device with a lithium battery unattended. It could burn your house down.
Its basically just an android device, there's no reason to power it down. I'm not sure where you got this notion that it's somehow dangerous, it's not. Mobile devices catching fire is incredibly rare and almost always a cause of a defective product or misuse. The power off option is burred in the menus and I would rather not have to sit and wiat for it to boot up every time I want to use it.
I always leave the charge cable connected when I put the headset to sleep overnight, so battery drain is never an issue. Same with my mobile phone.
Hi Team.Thunderbear 🙂
It will drain almost completely over night.
My headsets don't do that.
But I don't actively put them in sleep mode in the menu - not sure if this makes a difference - I just take them off and put them on the shelf/table.🤷♀️
I've done both with the same results, I think it goes into sleep mode either way.
Does it always drain fast or is it maybe just when the headset receive an update?
