At this point Ima planning to return this thing. I have a problems, it’s only a few days old. First day I got it, it charged to 100 no issues. Since, it only charges to 70-80. When the headset is turned completely off, not in sleep it dies in less than an hour. I have tried every fix on this page and Meta has not retuned my emails.

Hello this method did not work but there is a post on the forum that did. It required holding the power and volume button and always powering off with the power button and not the menu. Now it charges perfectly and holds it charge very well. Thank you.

Hey @TLewis75! We thank you for bringing this to our attention. We understand that your device is not fully charging to 100%. We know how this can affect your gaming experience and would love to help you with it. Could you please try the following:

 

  • If you're using the facial interface accessory or front pad cover while charging the device, attempt to charge the headset without them to see if that will work.
  • Attempt to charge the headset for 2 hours.
  • Try charging from a different source (another PC or a different wall outlet).
  • Lastly: factory reset the device.
