Hey again @Kaydenmartin123! We're just checking in to see if you're still needing some assistance with your controller connection issues.

Sorry for late reply, i used the mobile app to try and connect but the headset settings will not let me click on it when im on the device settings ive tried everything.

Thanks for reaching back out to let us know you tried to re-pair with the mobile app. 

Regarding the headset settings, when you're trying to access them is it from the admin account of the headset? Please keep in mind the headset must be paired with the app before being able to do so.

Along with those, could you please try the following:

  1. Remove the battery for roughly 20 minutes then, with your brothers headset powered off entirely, attempt to pair it with your headset,

Let us know if that seems to help out, we'll be patiently awaiting your update!

  • Yes, im on the admin account on the app. What do u mean when u say battery, do u mean the controller battery.

Thanks for getting back to let us know. Correct, we would be referring to the battery within the controllers if you're using Rift/S/Quest/2 controllers.

If you're using Quest Pro controllers, there will not be a way to remove the battery. 

Along with this, could you and your brother try to uninstall and reinstall the mobile app from your phones in order to attempt a fresh pairing of each headset?

We'll be awaiting your update!

  • I am using quest 2 controllers. I deleted and reinstalled the mobile app on both our phones and it still wont connect. The right controller automatically connects because he didnt connect that to his headset.

Thanks for getting back to us, @Kaydenmartin123. If you haven't yet, try removing the batteries for at least 15 minutes, then replacing them with new ones. Let us know how it turns out. We'll be looking forward to hearing back from you!
