I managed to fix it!

A coworker told me to try using the Meta Developer Hub from my PC and connecting the device from there. It worked nicely. I am not sure if this will work on accounts that are not registered as developers though.

This could be a temporary solution, until the app or the headset's OS (not sure which of both is causing this issue) is updated.

I hope it helps!

Hey there @Cilst! We understand you are having issues with pairing your Quest 2 device with the mobile app. We'd love to look deeper into this and help you as best as we can, so that you may enjoy your journey in the wonderful world of VR! With that being said, we have a few questions to get a better understanding:

  • Have you previously paired your headset with the mobile app before?
  • If so, are you using the same mobile device?
  • What error messages are you receiving if any?
  • Is your phone and headset connected to the same network?

Once we have this information, we can continue assisting!

Hi! I am having the same issue on my Quest 3. Have you been able to make it work?

Hey there, @Draxter16! We saw that you were experiencing the same issue, however on the Quest 3 and not the Quest 2. We would be more than happy to look into this further for you, just for clarification can you let us know the following:

 

  • What troubleshooting steps, if any, have you already attempted to get this resolved?

We do look forward to hearing back from you and working together on this!

Hi, I've tried factory resetting my headset (many times) and I have tried installing the app on several different devices, in none of them was I able to pair it. I have also tried on different WiFi networks and I have also tried restoring the bluetooth cache on all devices, none of those fixed the issue.

On a final attempt I tried to pair the device to a different Meta Account, when doing this a message prompted saying "Can't pair headset - We've detected an issue with pairing your headset. Contact Meta customer support so we can help fix the issue."

After that I contacted support with no response.

Hey there! We understand the frustration behind this, and definitely want to look into this further for you so we can get to the bottom of this. 

Please try these steps to factory reset, then get back with us to let us know if it worked for you!

From the Headset:

  • Power off the headset
  • Press and hold volume down & Power
  • This will boot into the USB Update Mode menu
  • Press volume button to move selection, press power button to make the selection
  • Navigate to Factory Reset and press the Power button
  • The device should now begin the Factory Reset process.
    We look forward to hearing back from you soon!

I already did that many times. It doesn't fix the issue.
