Mixed Reality Link using USB-C?
I've been using the Mixed Reality Link (Windows laptop) + Windows app (Quest 3) sucessfully at home, both devices connected over WiFi with great success. Today I am travelling by train and wanted to do the same thing. On the train, there is no WiFi, so I brought my USB-C cable, and tried to connect that way, but it does not work. I can see my laptop listed in the Windows app on the Quest 3, but I can not connect, and I can't create a new connection using the QR code either. Is it not supposed to work over cable? [The cable is fine; for an example, I can use the Meta Horizon Link app on Windows to connect that way. Win11 25H2 latest update 26200.7705, Quest 3 V85.1034]
Quest 3 USB connection to windows 11 prof (development)
what worked for me on windows 11 Prof.: Set energy-mode on MQ3 to 4 hours bevore going to sleep plugged the MQ3 into my PC (USB-C Highend cable) doing the kill-server and devices ("adb kill-server", "adb start-server") in command line (cmd) then go into your mobile-phone to the meta app where you have the Q3 linked already and then disabled "Developer Mode" and enabled it again Now then the popped up appeared in MQ3 Menu. Hope this helps someone.A suggestion to utilize magnetic-based cable instead of usb-c connection for oculus to PC connection
So, I have used the Quest, Quest 2 and Quest Pro, and while the products had been mostly satisfactory, one of the most mind bugling issues I had was the relative unease of use of the USB-C connection mechanisms. While using the Oculus, many times I had to inadeptly move my position in a way to pull the cable, and in doing that I feel a sympathetic discomfort for my Oculus and the cable especially when it is forcibly pulled out with side friction, and as every time this occurs it decreases the life expectancy of the link-cable, the quest usb-c port and eventually the whole product use-cycle length. My quest began failing this way after a year or two, and it became very difficult for me to stably connect the usb-c cable so that pc tethering became unusable. So why not implement a magnetic-attached cable attachment solution, so that every time the cable is pulled beyond thresholds it simply disconnects and fall off without inducing any sharp feeling of cable pulling and goldfinger-frictioning? I mean, for the design to be reliable it takes a little work, but the cable that is implemented on my LG DualScreen's second screen phone case is just reliable enough for me to think of it as a good prototyping start point. In addition to these pros, the magnetic-attachment mechanism is also less susceptible to debris and/or liquid damages as recently occurred to my oculus pro....Quest Pro - Developer mode issue
Looking for help in getting the Quest Pro into developer mode. I have allowed the developer mode on the MQDH mobile app and within the headset however when I plug the USB-C cable into any computer it makes the noise as if something has connected but never pops up with the allow device and hence does not appear within explorer. Has anyone seen the same issue and got a solution to this?
Using external USB-C camera
Hello, I'm trying to use an external USB-C camera connected to the Oculus Quest HMD. I'm trying to access to this camera in Unity. When connected, I'm using Android native API to ask for USB permission. But unfortunately the permission dialog does not appear, I can see the 3 dots screen instead of my app until I disconnect the camera in order to get back in my app. Is there some specific configuration to do in order to ask USB camera permission? And is it possible to switch my app in non VR mode just to check if the permission dialog appear in this mode? Thanks for your help.
