Quest 2 Meta cams not working properly
Hey, my Meta cams (so the cams used to see the environment etc.) doesnt really work. So if I start my Quest 2 and it asks for the Guardian thing to set up it does work and I can see my real surroundings through the cams but it only works for like 3-5 seconds until the cams crash? Basically they freeze and it stops working for some reason. But also when I start the Quest 2 I already have a black screen for the setup and basically have to do the guardian thing "blind". I already did a Factory reset but that didnt fix the issue.
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.
Quest 2 stuck in logo flash and no charging indicator
Hi! I have had my Quest 2 sitting in its box for a few years, recently tried using it for the holidays and when i plugged it in to charge, I didn't see any LED light on the device indicating it was getting any charge. I let it charge overnight and still didn't see any improvement. While plugged in, if i put it on, the headset has an all black screen then flashes the oculus logo over and over again. I've tried holding the power button, holding the power button and volume down to try and reset and nothing is working. Is there anything I can do to fix and use this hardware ever again?
Bricked unit after update
Firmware 83 just broke my quest 2. Was working fine then after update screen just switches between pass through and a black screen. I can't do anything with it. I've exhausted all suggestions from tech support. Factory Reset Update via software center Even using adb to revert to firmware 76 Meta said they won't help me because it is out of warranty. Can someone explain how this is a warranty issue? They released an update that broke my perfectly working headset and now it's my problem? All i was offered was a discount on a refurbished headset. I didn't break it, it didn't fail from age and use or abuse. YOU broke it and expect me to just buy a new one? I've reported this to BBB meta should be ashamed of their practices
Workrooms not working on some Quest 2s
I use Workrooms almost daily. I have a Meta Quest 3 and some of my co-workers have the Quest 2s. It's never been an issue, but just a couple days ago, we noticed that Workrooms does not work on some Quest 2s. After launching the app, the app logos appears then just black. Nothing but black. I have to press the Meta button to bring up the menu to exit the application. At first, I thought it might have something to do with the OS version, but the Quest 2 are all on the most recent v81. Has anyone else encountered this problem? More importantly, does anyone have an explanation or solution?
Boot looping in boot menu
So I had to factory reset my quest 2 and now after fixing it it has got stuck in the boot menu and doesn't boot past that menu, it always stays on and the only way to turn it off is threw the power off button in the menu, and if its plugged in it just turns it self back on. I can't even use software update tool to enter recovery mode or put the headset into sideload update cause it just boots back into USB update mode. Not even holding the power button to turn off or reboot/restart and power off will work cus it just turns back on. Please help!
Device storage not available through USB connection
Device: Quest 2 Currently up-to-date on v79.1034. Developer settings are enabled. MTP Notification is enabled. I have a cable and port connection that works with other devices to connect storage to my Windows PC. When I connect the Quest 2 with the USB-C cable I receive no notification, no sound, checking notifications manually through the bell icon also doesn't help. This has been an issue since I updated a couple weeks back and I'd rather not reset the headset again however currently I can't access it through USB cable. My PC also doesn't seem to make a sound when I plug it in.Software Update Tool Not Working for Quest 2
Are you experiencing issues upgrading your Quest 2 headset to v79 with the software update tool? I have taken an hour or so to troubleshoot, and the software tool is not displaying a list of headsets in the browser when connecting with a USB. The software update page notes that Quest 2 is also included in v79, however I am wondering if they have just given up on Quest 2 updates altogether. My warranty has long expired, and I really do not want to purchase another headset at this time. Thanks!
