my Meta quest 3 seems to have ZERO tracking?
I don't know why this started, but all off a sudden my headset started experiencing random times where the tracking would just "turn off", like no head movements or anything, and when the tracking menu appeared, the background was just pure black, like if the cameras were off or something, this was just something that would happen once every battery life it seemed, so I brushed it off. But not long ago it started happening more and more often. Now it's to the point where it never turns on, except once every couple headset boots, but it just goes back to its state after a couple of seconds. Currently I have it on the account select screen (since I have two accounts on my headset), and it's just stuck, I mean there's my accounts, and the white dot that points where your head is when no controllers are connected, and my controllers randomly just blink their little light to then vibrate a couple of seconds later. I've tried hard booting, no luck (except one time where it worked for a bit, but it seems my luck ran out). I've had another Q3 headset that had something similar problem, tracking would just turn off and turn on every ~3 seconds, it was unusable. So, anyone else had this problem, and had a solution? (Looking for answers that aren't "return it" or something similar). Thanks!
Not Getting My Replacement
I order a replacement controller on warranty over a month ago and did advanced replacement. It says should be delivered by April 28th still when I check it and the email support hasn't been much help! I just need my controller because I do this daily. I also ask for any more information they can give but they say they will and tell me nothing. I just wanna use my vr.Quest 3 and 3s charging stuck at 0% Fix.
Because meta support won't admit this is a recurring problem, they never tell you the fix. If the headset that is "not charging" shows the battery icon with 4 dots and the 0% text, unplug the charger, attempt to turn on the headset, doing so will finally completely drain the battery. Once the battery is fully drained you can plug the charger back in, the screen should show a battery icon with a lightning bolt in it, completely unique from the normal charging screen. From here the headset should charge normally. This issue is happening because something with the firmware updates has caused a bug where the light sensor randomly decides its going to permanently stay on but also drain an immense amount of power. When the headset dies completely it acts as a hard reset and the sensors are forced off properly. Hopefully this helps someone else out. I've fixed 3 headsets this way.
