I’ve only had the Q3 with the strap/battery for 3 days. The first charge and setup went fine, and it seems to be working ok, but when I hook up the charger (to the strap battery), the led on the headset glows orange but the led on the battery glow orange for a short period. I’m not sure if it’s charging correctly or not. Crossing my fingers it’s charging. And one last question, there’s a button next to the charge port on the strap/battery that I can’t find what it does… Anyone know?
In the past this button was used to turn off the battery strap, so it doesn't self discharge in a few hours when Quest is not used. But after updates turning off the strap also doesn't work, so I just unplug it from headset after it finishes charging.
Btw welocome to Meta world. Now your life will be filled with many different and irritating bugs.
szerwony I just got non-ptc v81.1034 yesterday on my Q3/512Gb headset and now the Q3 Elite battery strap button no longer seems to do anything.
Also, still no coordinated charging with headset led indicator. I seem to need to charge it connected until the battery pack shows a green light. Then disconnect the strap cable and charge up the headset battery separately until it shows a green light.
Meta really needs to fix this asap imho. In the meantime all we can do is continue to submit bug reports I guess, lol! Cheers.
Fully power off the headset. If your charge cable isn't plugged in to the Elite battery, plug it in. Wait for the orange LED on the Elite battery to go out (if it is on). Press and hold the button on the Elite battery - a green LED should come on after a few seconds - keep holding the button but release it immediately when the green LED goes out but before it starts blinking orange. Put the headset on (but don't fire it up) and check to confirm that it shows both batteries in the eyepieces. Both batteries will charge up, no need to disconnect the Elite battery from the headset.
Twangmaster A very little googling and you'll find the meta support article on what the strap battery button is supposed to do. I got non-ptc v81.1034 yesterday and now the button does not seem to do anything except the strap battery does seem to show its charge level ok.
The following table lists the different functions of the button on top of the Elite strap with battery.
| Function | Action | Result |
| Power off | Press and hold for 5-8 seconds (LED solid green until button has been released) when headset is powered on and connected to strap. | Elite strap with battery will power off and will not charge the headset until the button is pressed again or an approved wall adapter is connected to the strap. |
| Reset | Press and hold for more than 12 seconds. | To reset the strap when it's not working properly. |
| Power on | Short press button once. | sower on or wake up Elite strap with battery.
Note: The strap LED does not turn on when powering up. |
| Check battery level | Press button once when strap is active. |
Note: The strap LED does not stay on while charging. |
The "power on" and "check battery level" instructions are identical. The LED always comes on for 5 seconds after a brief press.
To reset, while no LED is on, press and hold the button until the LED turns green. Keep holding the button until the green LED goes off and release the button immediately. In v79 I always had to do this after powering off the Q3 to get it to recognize the Elite battery in the power display in the eyepiece. In v81, the headset seems to consistently recognize the Elite battery automatically.
I disagree that the green LED means that the headset is powered off! That is rather counter-intuitive.
If my Elite battery has good charge and I press and hold the button for about 20 seconds (i.e. keep holding the button after the green LED goes out) it will flash orange about 5 times... I have no idea what that setting is for, unless that is actually powering off the Elite battery.
I am on v81.1034 build 5131230.23000.520 not PTC.
Sorry but I have no idea what you're talking about mate, lol! The button features are directly from meta support.
