Hello, I purchased a Quest pro for development but I am getting many popup notifications constantly appearing with the message "Controller Not Tracking". The popup appears sometimes even when both controllers are in the charging base. This notification even appears while hand tracking is active.

@MetaQuestSupportCommunity Manager - thank you I tried your suggestions but the link you provided leads to help text about batteries and speakers and other accessories and was not help.
The popup keeps appearing every few minutes, even while I am holding the controllers or sitting at a desk, It can be very annoying and is not something I expected when paying $1.5k for a HMD.
"Controller not tracking" shows while I'm holding both controllers! Sometimes I am sitting at a desk trying to use the HMD but the popup does not dismiss and blocks my view. Is this the expected behavior of meta HMDs?
I really hope this gets fixed or updated soon, because I like this HMD and the VR/MR is excellent but having to play games with "Controller Not Tracking" popup constantly visible makes this HMD less enjoyable than cardboard.

It certainly is! As a VR developer I am unable to develop without popups blocking my view every minute or two.
I purchased the Quest Pro thinking it would be a professional HMD. While trying to develop for the Pro the controller not tracking notification appears and remains in the center of the view throughout the entire game and development.
I follow instructions many times, reset controllers many times, nothing works even following the instructions in the notification. But nothing is a permanent solution and every time I start developing again after some work the notification appears and hangs indefinitely so I am constantly seeing a "Controller Not Tracking" dialog in center screen with no option to dismiss and it ruins immersion completely.
It would be nice if the Quest Pro were more developer friendly, with less persistent popups so developers can work without interruption.

I tried all trouble shooting suggestions but still the "Controller Not Tracking" notification persists and won't dismiss.
What is the point of VR when there is constantly some popup blocking the view? The Quest is not usable since the popup bug and is constantly a issue and blocks my view ever minute or two.
I only use SteamVR HMDs for developing now since they don't suffer from constant popups issues so I can enjoy VR without popups.

Thanks for the reply, I think adding a option to disable popups from blocking the game view is very important, not many enthusiasts will be loyal to a HMD that had popup issues. I am not interested in personalized assistance from tech support, just want VR to be VR and without popups - which is why I purchased a Quest Pro but it is full of popups!!
