Quest 3 stuck in Battery Saver Mode

So I toggled the battery saver mode 3 days ago and ofc it lowered resolution. I wanted to test the feature. So I toggled it on, saw the change, and then toggled it off. When I turned it off, the resolution stayed the same, the fovetated size stayed the same. Everything was the same as if I was still on battery saver mode (with full charge on the headset).

I ignored this issue until today as I cannot deal with it anymore. I restarted the device, resolution is still low, text is pixelated, FOV is terrible, everything warped. The headset thinks I'm in battery saver mode still. Tried toggling it on and off and there is literally no change when turning it on, and of course no change when going back to off.

Please help.

I'm on v60

Hey there dinkd ! A major component of the VR experience is how you perceive the world through the headset. We would love to assist you with this issue and help you get back to enjoying those fun games and apps! We recommend completing a hard reboot. To do so, please complete the following steps:

Hard Reboot the headset
1. Hold down the power button and volume down button for 30 seconds until you hear the boot-up sound
2. If the boot-up sound is not heard:
  1. Hold the power and volume (-) button down simultaneously until the boot screen loads on your headset.
  2. Use the volume buttons on your headset to highlight "Boot Device" and press the power button.
  3. Use the volume buttons on your headset to highlight Yes and press the power button.

After completing, Let us know if your headset returns to its original display settings.

I am having the same issue and not able to restore display settings to original after enabling the battery saver mode one. I tried to hard boot the device as per the instuctions above but that didn't work. it's really affecting my overall experience. Could you please help me with this?

Hey there, Ozzy.2002, thanks for reaching out to the community with this! This experience is not anybody's idea of a fun time, so please be assured we're happy to work with you to get to a resolution for it! You've already tried a hard-reboot of the headset which would normally clear out anything stuck that might be causing this, but as the issue is still there, we'll have to take out a bigger hammer, so to speak. I'm going to recommend we proceed with a Factory Reset of the device as the best way to clear this up. What this will do is reset the device to a "like-new" state, wiping all information and data off the device. Follow the steps in the article linked here, and pay special attention to the portion about Cloud Backup:

Factory Resetting your Meta Quest Device

Be sure when setting the device back up that you sign back into your existing account and do not inadvertently create a new one during the setup process. The most likely scenario is that the reset resolves the issue, and you'll be all up and running without troubles. However, if the issue still persists, we may need to get our support team to dig into it further. Let us know the results when you can, and we'll be hoping to hear back from you soon! Happy holidays!

Hey MetaQuestSupport!
I have the same issue, but factory reset and hard reboot are not helping.
It seems that device is stuck in battery saver mod and resolution is horrible as the brightness as well

Also having the same problem, I Turned on Battery Saver Mode just to see the difference, it lowered my lightning which was noticeable, But upon turning Battery Saver Mode off again it looks exactly the same and won't go back even after Factory Reset and Hard Reboot.

Hopefully it's a software issue and it gets fixed..

Hi MetaStoreHelp , I messaged you on Friday. Could you please have a look and help us resolve this issue please? it's really frustrating. If this can't be fixed, then I'll be returning the headset.

Thanks,

Just to let everyone know MetaQuestSupport has replied to my pm and they said they can't do anything about it and we have to wait. I have attached the screenshot below,

MetaStoreHelp I don't understand why you are asking everyone to go to your pm when you don't have any resolution at all and we have to live with this horrible display. Why are you saying that you would look into other possible options in pm when there's no option at all. I am really confused now.

Thanks,
Anuj

I really hope that this will be fixed in the next update, it looks like a software bug and is really a serious issue, i bought the device recently and find it unusable because of this issue.

Thanks, Solyarka
