Quest 2 will not download apps, even hand motion won't download...

I have a wuest 2 I bought from a friend.  He had some apps installed and the option to share those with other accounts on the headset. I added my own account and it worked fine.

 

Then I wanted to make my own account the primary, and I didn't care if I couldn't still play his games. I did a factory reset and logged in with my meta account. 

 

A list of apps popped up (free apps that I had on the first install, not his games, which is ok) and I tried to install them.. it just goes to "queued" and after a few seconds goes back to the install button.  Nothing downloads. Even when I try to go to select the "hand movement" enable option, since it has to download and install a 30mb file, it never installs.

 

I've restarted the device, I've restarted my mobile app. I have Internet connection that works (I can play PC games online and my recorded videos do upload to the mobile app).  I have done a factory reset several times and even did the clear app data method with side quest. 

 

Nothing has changed the issue.

Hi @FreedomDrift 🙂

I believe - but I don't know it for sure - there are currently some server/software issues.... I saw  similar posts from other users who can't download apps.

So I don't think, this'is something on your end, or has to do with the factory reset.

I assume, waiting is the only thing you can do right now.
