My brand new quest 3 keeps powering down after sometime in the dark whilst lying down. Its really strange and its not on any specific app or game. Should i return it for a replacement?
You need light to use the Quest 3, same as other inside out hmds. Does it power down if you turn on the light?
Quest 3 is not meant to work in darkness, if you want darkness get Rift CV1, Vive (Pro), Index or other hmds using external tracking.
Oculus Rift CV1, Valve Index & PSVR2, Asus Strix OC RTX™ 3090, i9-10900K (5.3Ghz), 32GB 3200MHz, 16TB SSD "Ask not what VR can do for you, but what you can do for VR"
I will try playing it whilst lying down with the lights on a few times but it’s odd that it won’t at least stay on whilst I watch a movie or some YouTube videos in the dark. I just doesn’t seem to make sense to me.
head movement should be counted as activity too if its completely dark, so try to change auto sleep to 15 minutes, and move your head a bit every 10-15 minutes to show activity.
