Option to Disable Ambient Background Sound
I can't believe how many threads concern Meta's refusal to provide customisation options, as though denying users the capacity to do so is part of Antichrist v2.0's mission statement for his company, but anyway, here's another. Can we please have the option of disabling that horrible ringing noise? It's not pleasant, it doesn't add anything to the experience, it's like New Age tinnitus. Now that we finally have the option to disable that ghastly mirror, how about the same option to disable the dreadful ringing noise?Screen tearing lines after v2.1 on quest2 and 3s
Specific Symptoms & Conditions Only Affects UI/Overlays: The tearing and artifacts only appear on the Quest UI, menus, overlays, and video streaming layers (such as Virtual Desktop or screens with white backgrounds). 3D Environments are Unaffected: Full 3D environments, background environments, and in-game visuals work perfectly fine, as long as no system overlay is present. Tied to Head Tracking: The visual tearing is triggered by head movement. It appears as horizontal lines when moving the head up and down, and vertical lines when moving the head left and right. Affected Devices & Firmware Hardware: The issue is widespread and not isolated to one headset. Users have confirmed this is happening on the Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S. Software: Multiple users pinpointed that the issue began very recently, specifically after the Horizon 2.1 update. Troubleshooting Attempted (No Fix Found) Users have attempted standard fixes, including factory resets and using the Meta Quest Update Tool, but the issue persists. Hardware defect ruled out: While one user suggested it could be a loose display cable, the community consensus strongly confirms this is a software/firmware issue. A broken display cable would cause persistent visual glitches across all games and apps, whereas this issue dynamically turns on and off depending strictly on whether a UI overlay is present. https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/comments/1rz62f9/comment/oc5a99g/ - pictures and video included https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/comments/1rq1z31/quest_2_rainbowartifacts_tearing_but_only_on_ui/ Possibly: Screen Tearing Artifacts | Meta Community Forums - 1369036
META HORIZON!!!!
META, please add anti-theft protection and device location search, as devices are often stolen and we can't find them ourselves. And you, a giant company, can't ensure the security of your device. My glasses were stolen. My account is on it, and I can see when it's online. I can't do anything about it, except offer a reset. It would be better if you could help me find its location!
Quest 2 headset suddenly does not appear in file explorer
earlier this week (October 18, 2025), my quest 2 headset has stopped appearing in file explorer and I cannot access it to get my photos, videos, or add mods to games. All other guides for fixing this issue are at least 3 years old and do not work as of 2025.
Suggestion- Mata Consideration of buying the remaining assets of rec room to keep the platform up!
Meta has a unique opportunity to strengthen its VR and AR ecosystem through the acquisition and revival of Rec Room. With over 120 million users and an already established foundation in immersive, user-generated content, Rec Room represents a proven platform that aligns directly with Meta’s long-term vision for social virtual spaces. Unlike building a new platform from the ground up, acquiring Rec Room would provide immediate access to a large, engaged community and a vast library of VR-ready experiences. Rec Room’s cross-platform presence (VR, mobile, console, PC and once AR ) also presents an opportunity for Meta to bridge the gap between traditional gaming and immersive technology, bringing more users into its VR and AR ecosystem over time. With relatively small technical adjustments, the platform could be further optimized for Meta’s hardware, increasing headset adoption and overall user retention. Additionally, Rec Room’s creator-driven economy aligns with Meta’s interest in fostering digital creators and virtual economies. Supporting and expanding this system under Meta’s infrastructure could unlock new revenue streams while empowering a dedicated creator base. If Rec Room were to face closure, acquiring it at a reduced cost would allow Meta to preserve a valuable digital community while transforming it into a flagship social experience for its platform. This would not only generate revenue but also reinforce Meta’s position as a leader in the future of virtual interaction. This is not just an acquisition opportunity—it is a chance to invest in an already thriving digital world and elevate it into a cornerstone of the metaverse.
