I brought an oculus quest 2 used from eBay. which come without the controller.
so I try to set up Oculus quest 2. I download the mobile app and follow the instruction. because I don't have a controller, the initial setup screen did not allow me to pass the initial setup screen without pairing the controller. so I active the developer option and connect through ADB (platform tools). I search online and find something like
adb -s {device_id} shell getprop
and I get all the list of properties.
Can anybody tell me which value I need to modify or need to add the system properties so that the oculus thing/understannd that the initial controller setup is done. I already set up xbox controller as well.
because there is a hand tracking option so I want to use the hand tracking option I think I can activate it by using a mouse.
Note: Nybies please don't reply. this section is only if you are an expert and know-how to work with ADB and shell and android. Don't ask me why I don't buy the controller because it is not available and I want to set up the device without it.
if you want then I can add the properties list here later.
do you have any suggestions for setup an oculus without a controller?
Hi! I recommend getting connected with the Developer Support as they can get you back on track. Just click here and make sure you're connected with your developer account.
Hey everyone! Just wanted to jump in here and note that I'll be locking this thread. The main reason being that it does seem to be pretty old so anything seen recently could have a different root cause to the original issue.
If you're running into any problems setting up your headset, feel free to send @MetaQuestSupport a private message.
I was able to get past the control settings screen with a simple method. But this only works to play on PC, since I have not found a way to activate hand tracking
Airlink did not work for me. The headset continues to show the intro screen with controller setup after I did everything mentioned. Also, Do you connect the headset with a cable or wireless to the PC? Thanks!
With cable. You have to activate the developer mode through the oculus app on the iphone (connect the quest 2 to the cell phone) via bluetooth or wifi, and keep it connected to the pc at the same time, then follow the other steps.
Thanks! I was finally able to get into the oculus menu living room screen. I currently have my Xbox controller synced and working as well. How can I play F1-22 now in VR? When opened in vr mode on steam it cannot detect the headset. I loaded F1-22 onto the oculus app & While wearing the headset- I will access the oculus app, select F1-22 and my screen remains black but I can hear the game sounds. It also starts the game on my monitors and says vr cannot be detected. when I try to launch F1-22 from the desktop oculus app is says something along the lines of- the device is not working properly because the controls are not yet set up. im starting to think it’s impossible to use this headset to play pc games without having the controllers for the initial set up…: please let me know if you have any other ideas. Thanks
