After factory reset

DanaVW
Level 2

I haven’t used my VR set in a while.  It would not recognize my pattern so I had to do a factory reset.  Afterwards, it gave me a code to enter to recognize my headset.  I entered the code and now it shows that I have to pull down a tab on the handset, which is not there!!  I am stuck.  Please help:)

Hey there, @DanaVW! We're just checking in to see if you still need help with your device. Please let us know, and we'll be happy to assist!

Hey meta quest support. I'm having a similar issue to the user @DanaVW had. I had an app that would not uninstall and was first in the queue to uninstall. I looked at tutorials on how to fix this and I found nothing. after words I went to perform a factory reset to erase all of the quest data. than when it told me to enter the code to the mobile app, it said pair failed. I did another reset and its not working out. I looked on the oculus support and I found a few similar problems, such as the one I'm replying to, but I didn't find anything. I really want to get my meta quest back up and running but its not working for me. Please find a way to help me, thank you

Hey there! We completely understand how it feels to have issues pairing your headset to your mobile app. There are a few steps we can try in order to see if we can get this issue resolved.

 

  • Uninstall/Reinstall the mobile app
  • Make sure the mobile device and headset are on the same wifi network
  • Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device

 

Once you have tried these steps please get back to us and let us know. Thanks!

Appreciate the response, but this still had no effect. I’ve already tried this in the past and I just tried again. I even did another factory reset on it, which is what someone else had done to fix it. If there are any other solutions please let me know. Thanks.
