Forcibly updated to V2.1
Ok so firstly, I don't even want to be here because somehow my Quest 3 is updated to 2.1 even though I have never joined the PTC in my horizons app. So, the issue with V2.1 I'm having currently is that the controllers go to sleep WAY too fast. It used to take longer so when idle your controllers just don't disappear immediately but now after 3 seconds of inactivity it just disappears until you move it again. While this might seem to be a non-issue, it is immersion breaking in some cases, please revert this behavior to the previous version. Additionally, why was I even updated to 2.1? Is there a way for me to not be included, I'm having a very bad experience with it currently.
Quest 2 Video Player Removed VR Projection Feature
There is no option at all to choose the projection mode when playing a video in the native video player anymore. No 3D, 180, 360, nothing, just 2D. What happened? Why did Meta remove this feature from the video player? What is the point of having a VR Headset if I can't watch my VR videos in VR mode? I have already updated it and nothing changed. Some people are compaining about this in Reddit and even a Quest 3 user was complaining about it. What is the point of this?
Another problem with Quests and Rewards/ cant redeem meta points
Its starting to get silly now. Almost as if Meta doesnt want you getting free stuff. A few days ago, you couldnt open Mobile meta games (ones required to play to complete certain quests), a day later i couldnt even access the quests and rewards option, always getting an error, and now for 4 days in a row, when i complete the requirements for a quest, the quest disappears from the list but doesnt pay out the relevant amount of meta points. Feels almost intentional. As before, this issue is not resolved by clearing cache, deleting data, re-installing mobile app, using a different device, etc. Please fix this its very disheartening.
Quest 2 Controller Tracking Degradation
Hi everyone, I’m hoping for some input from experienced Quest 2 users before I make a final decision regarding controller replacement / moving away from meta by upgrading my headset. Over time, my right touch controller (and to a lesser extent the left) has developed noticeable tracking degradation. This wasn’t a sudden failure, it gradually became more apparent during gameplay, particularly in Beat Saber where consistent tracking is important for accuracy and fitness use. I’ve gone through extensive troubleshooting, including: Testing in multiple rooms (including a different property) Controlled lighting conditions (no direct sunlight, no reflective surfaces, no LED interference) Fresh batteries (multiple brands) Re-pairing controllers Cleaning headset cameras and controller rings Guardian reset Full factory reset Testing both standalone and via PCVR The issue persists across all environments. I’ve been in contact with support and understand that, as the device is out of warranty, replacement controllers would need to be purchased through the out-of-warranty program. Investing close to £100 in refurbished replacements, seems very risky and steep, I want to be absolutely certain there isn’t a less obvious cause I’ve overlooked, especially since the root cause hasn’t been conclusively identified as hardware failure. Has anyone experienced gradual tracking degradation like this and successfully resolved it without replacing hardware? I’m particularly interested in: Battery contact or movement issues Less obvious environmental interference Known long-term wear factors Any advanced diagnostics I can try I use my headset primarily for exercise, so reliability is important, but I’d prefer to rule out every possible factor before committing to replacement hardware. Appreciate any constructive suggestions — thank you in advance.
Battery Depletion
On my Quest 2 since v83 if I shut down my headset by holding the power switch until I hear the shutdown tone when I power up the headset several hours later I'll get a very low or zero power level warning - even if there was a battery level of say 30%. If I shutdown through the power menu this does not happen - when I return and power up several hours the power level is the same as when I shut down via the menu.
