Quest 2 running slow

So when I’m downloading/updating games or try to shut down my headset, it runs really slow. The tracking is fine, but with downloading, updating or  holding the power button it’s really slow. The power menu has a delay and the download speed is 1,4KBs. I tried doing a speed test but that says I have 265Mbps. What can I do to fix this?

Hiya a00x0.1, a slow headset is not a fun headset. However, we would love to give you a quick troubleshooting step, to catch your headset up to speed! Can you attempt the following for us:

To back up your data on the cloud first:

  1. Put on your headset, then hover over the clock on the left side of the universal menu. When Quick Settings appears, select it to open the Quick Settings panel.
  2. Select Settings (gear icon).
  3. Select System, then select Backup.
  4. Select the toggle next to Cloud Backup to turn Cloud Backup on or off.

Then please try factory resetting your headset by:

  1. Turn off your headset.
  2. Hold the power and volume (-) button on your headset down simultaneously until the boot screen loads on your headset.
  3. Use the volume buttons on your headset to highlight Factory Reset and press the power button.
  4. Use the volume buttons on your headset to highlight Yes and press the power button.

If the issue still persists, please don't hesitate to reach out to us via Meta Store Support, as we have more resources to assist you from there. We hope this information was helpful!

Is it ok if I hard reset my device?

I’m scared that my data is not in the cloud, even if I backup

We totally understand your hesitation with doing a factory reset, but we promise that if you enabled Cloud Backup like we suggested, your data will be saved to the cloud. If you're still feeling a bit scared, you can also go here to double check that your data is backed up. When you get there, please follow these steps. 

  1. Sign into your account
  2. From the left menu, click Cloud Backup.
  3. Use the search field to filter for any specific application, or scroll through the table to view which of your applications have Cloud Backup enabled.

Let us know if you need anything else!

Hiya Steven.Hypnolullaby! We understand you are still having issues with loading your apps. Here are some additional troubleshooting you can try: 

 

  • Restart the Headset
  • If any changes caused this to start, undo these changes (Refresh Rate, Hand Tracking, Experimental Settings, etc...)
  • Log out and back into the phone app
  • Uninstall that application, restart the headset, and reinstall the application.
  • Factory Reset
  • Ensure your Wi-Fi is stable

If you continue having issues with your apps, please reach out to us on private message. We are happy to continue assisting you with this!
