Meta Quest 2 Pairing to phone app

SortofCool

I have been on forums all week trying to resolve this pairing issue with App to Quest. My son had an app that kept crashing the headset recently. The repair, of course, is a restore to factory settings. Once I did this, it asked me to implement the headset code into the phone, but it would not recognize the headset. The problem is the app has no way to remove a device. I removed it from the account, but it is still showing on the app. I have restarted the app, uninstalled it, and reinstalled it.  However, the device keeps appearing on the app and will not connect with the code or Bluetooth. There is no option for Bluetooth cache on my phone, and it is not a Wi-Fi issue because the headset has been working fine on current Wi-fi. There needs to be an option on the app to remove the device. I do not want to connect his account to another Facebook/meta account because of all the games I have purchased add-ons for him to use. They won't be tied to that new account.

  1. Ensure the phone is compatible with the Meta Quest App

I have tried several factory resets. Started a new account on wife's phone. With no success. I don't know if bluetooth device is headset is no longer working or if there is a communication issues with software. 


Thank you for reaching back out to us, @SortofCool! We see you've attempted multiple factory resets on your device and have tried using a different host device as well. We would love to continue helping you out in order to get this resolved for you so you can continue using your device and enjoy VR.

There is a way to delete the Bluetooth cache on your host device we can provide the details on how to below.

 

On an Android device

  1. Open Settings and go to Apps.
  2. Go to Bluetooth
  3. Tap on Storage and Clear Cache.

On an iOS device

  1. Open Settings and select Bluetooth.
  2. Forget every Bluetooth device in the My Devices list using the "i" icon.
  3. Restart your iOS device to clear the cache. After restarting, you will be required to re-pair with Bluetooth devices again.

Let us know if this fixes the issue if not then please reach out again!

We look forward to hearing back from you!

Nothing has worked. Can I send the equipment to Meta for testing? I can not resolve a connection issue. My son's friends came over with their Quest 2 and had no problems using the Wi-Fi. There has to be some sort of solution to this problem.
