Known Issue - Refurbished Quest replacement unable to connect controllers

WowUrGarbage

I just recently sent my quest 2 and controllers back to be replaced but the refurbished quest 2 controllers that was sent to me won't connect to the refurbished quest 2 headset that was sent to me so my headset is stuck in the paring initial setup screen. I tried linking my headset to my app to set up controllers that way but no matter how many times I tried to pair it putting the pair code in it won't pair up. I have factory reset several times. I have reinstalled the app already a few times. Yes my location and bluetooth is on. I have already been through setting this up with my old quest 2 that I sent back with no problems. I don't understand how I was sent a refurbished quest 2 and controllers that can not even set up. Please help me fix this or let me get a replacement that works.

Hey hey! Just wanted to update this thread with this solution since it seems we may have forgot to post it in here.

 

For anyone having this issue, please try the following:

 

  1. Open the Meta Quest app on your iOS or Android device. Wait about a minute while a background update is automatically applied.
  2. Close the Meta Quest app.
  3. Factory reset your headset.
  4. Try to pair your controllers and headset as new.

 

If that doesn't work, we suggest hitting up the team with a support ticket

 

Thank you!

Ok so why can't you send me a quest 2 that is working? I don't think it's OK that I send back my headset that had issues already for you to send me one that dosnt work. That makes no sense at all. That's like taking my money and giving me a $400 paper weight and heres some credit that's useless because you don't have a headset that works and saying we will get back to you one day??? This isn't really cool at all. 

I'm having the exact same issue, sent in my Quest for RMA, got sent back a new headset, can't connect it to my phone. I've tried several devices and I've scoured the internet for solutions, but no dice.

 

Not cool Oculus, not cool.

I have same issue. What a joke.

Pathetic response. So what must we do now Wait for 3 years for u to come up with a response. Fix it! 

I just got it and try to use it and it says system update needed how can I even update it without pairing it first and Why can’t you find a solution and I don’t think you team and Mark Zuckerberg taking it seriously. Just waste of money Never buying your products again.

So how long are we supposed to “reasonably” wait until our paper weights get replaced with something that works?

 

These things have warranties, right? Mine only lasted 3 months.

 

So, how many more months of my 1 year warranty will I be without a functioning headset?

This worst product I’ve ever bought , did they tell you when they had a fix they’d email you!

The same thing happened to me they sent me a refurbished headset and I can’t even get it to pair all it says is try again
