Why won t my quest 2 connect to my phone

When you open the box of the Meta Quest 2, you'll find a manual, a VR headset, 2 controllers, a charger, a charging cable, and a spacer for people with glasses. The first thing you should do is fully charge the Meta Quest 2 with the charger and the charging cable.

Step 2: Download the Meta app

Take your phone and go to the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. Search for 'Meta app' and download the Meta app. After the installation, you can open the app. You don't need a Facebook account anymore to use the Meta Quest. You now need a Meta account and a Meta Horizon account.

Step 3: Create a Meta account

To create a Meta account, you only need a name, date of birth, phone number, email address, and payment information. Follow the steps until you get the message that you created an account. After you create a Meta account, you have to create a Meta Horizon account. That's a social media platform for the Metaverse. Go through all the steps and complete the creation process.

Step 4: Connect VR headset

Turn the Meta Quest 2 on and hold it near your phone. Make sure the Bluetooth on your phone is enabled and connect the phone to the VR headset via the Meta app. Don't close the app while it's connecting.

Step 5: Put on the Meta 2

Put on the VR headset and follow the instructions on the screen. During this process, you'll also connect the headset to the WiFi. After, the Quest 2 will start updating the software. The VR headset makes a sound when the update is done. Keep the Meta app open during this process.

Step 6: Use the Meta Quest 2

The Meta Quest 2 is now set up and ready for use.

Can device still power on? and can it still cnnect to and communicate with a pc? If yes, first check to see if your oculus app on phgone is updated t the latest version (they pushed out updates over the curse of the past couple days to iphones and androids and 4 days ago to pc apps, so im guessing this is your issue as the drivers used totally changed (yes even your phone app uses drivers to communicate) as a result of the hand trackin update/overhaul..

If once you have updated the app it still doesn't work, remove the device from your app... then select/choose to setup new device and try to see if it will pair up again now... if yes, sweet.

If no, factory reset the headset via either the pc app under settings if you ca still connect via usb there, or inside the actually headset using the headset settings menu....

Once factory reset, setup the device without using or connectin to any devices at all or apps.. Go through the basic setup (you should only need to have both controllers connected to device to setup headset without the apps help..

Once you are inside your home screen enviroment, make sure you are connected to wifi and bluetooth is on and working on headset. Then try to pair with the oclus app again..

Enjoy
