Hey there, @xozv! We want to do our best to get your device back up and running, so let's work together to get to the bottom of this! To start, we have some questions:

  • Do you see a pairing code in your headset? 
    • If so, how many digits are there?
  • Have you tried reinstalling the mobile application?
  • What other troubleshooting steps have you tried so far? We don't want to make you repeat things unnecessarily.

We look forward to hearing back from you!

Hi! Sorry for the late response I was busy but yeah, I tried the things you said. I also tried completely shutting off my phone and deleting the app again but no luck.

Thank you for letting us know! We understand that life can get busy, so no worries there. Being stuck and unable to pair is no fun at all and we would be happy to help you however we can. We have some more suggestions that we would like you to try which, could help you get things paired up:

  • Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your phone.
  • Ensure that no other Bluetooth devices are connected to your mobile device, especially things such as smartwatches or earbuds.
  • Clear the Bluetooth cache on your phone.
  • Double check the app permissions for the Meta Quest mobile app and ensure that it has the requested permissions allowed.
  • Remove any unsupported third-party accessories that may affect communication, such as headset covers.
  • Try using another mobile device entirely for the Meta Quest mobile app.
  • Try pairing under a different Wi-Fi network.
  • Try performing another Factory Reset on your Meta Quest headset.

If you continue to have issues, please be sure to let us know. We would be happy to look into this further. You can message us directly from our Profile Page, where we can look into any alternative options to get things pairing once again. We hope these steps help! And we look forward to hearing back from you at your earliest convenience.
