Quest Not Pairing To Phone/Mobile Work Around

  • In this video, I will be showing you how to get around the Meta App bug that's stopping you from playing on your Quest headset.
    This workaround works for Quest 1, Quest 2, Quest 3, and Quest Pro.
    This involves using a PC/Computer to install the Meta Quest Developer Hub app in order to pair the headset and continue with the setup.
    The Meta Store will not work with this method but you can use a browser to sign into the Meta Experiences website to continue purchasing and installing apps to your headset.
    There evidently is a bug with the Meta app or the headset's firmware that is preventing headsets from pairing with the Meta app. This is extremely frustrating for many but at least this guide offers a workaround to get back to gaming.

    My sons oculus stopped working a month ago. When he would turn it on, it just said "unable to pair". We researched for hours and spent many times contacting Meta about it, only for them to tell us ours was out of warranty and that we could buy a refurbished one for $170.00. We were just about to throw in the towel until my older son asked if we "had checked with youtube university cause that's where everyone goes to get knowledge" :) Of course I stumbled upon this video and figure why not, there's nothing to lose. Well, guess what, this guy is a genius! I am not a techy person, however my son and I followed all his steps/prompts and my son's oculus is now working again!!! You are amazing and thank you for posting this video! Oh, and we subscribed, cause you should be getting paid for this!

    Thank you Bearski. I bought a Meta Quest 2 from my friend who forgot to unlink it from his account / factory reset it at his house which is half way across the country. So I factory resetted it and when it got to the code to pair on mobile device it just would not pair at all. tried everything there was I could read. Finally stubmled across this video and with a little patience cause of terrible bluetooth signal to my PC I was able to get it to work! life saver here.

    New sub from Seattle!!
    I've been having that problem for about a month. I've searched the internet up and down for a solution for quite a long time like about 5 minutes. I found nothing that works so I finally said I should talk to meta.
    After talking to 7,977 different meta support team person suggesting to try different things to my headset (which still none of them worked) from doing a factory reset to stop yelling at my my headset. I kept saying nothing is working and added maybe you guys should reset the factory. They responded saying it didn't work either.
    With all kidding aside. I would like to thank you for this video. I'm going to ship my headset to them this Monday the 25th. But now after watching your video I'm tempted to try it.
    What if it works and I still send it to them, I wonder if they'll be able to tell that my headset is working properly and send mine back to me. I'd miss on getting a new or refurbished headset.
    I got about a day to think about it so if you or anybody else that made it this far and would like to say something please feel free. Thank you.

    • @BearskiVR
      @BearskiVR  3 місяці тому

      If on warranty, take the new one.
      If you are needing to buy a new or refurbished. I’d go with the repair and save the cash. Times are tough.
      Ultimately your choice, good luck on the trek back to gaming!

      The developer hub should be able to detect the quest via Bluetooth on the pc/laptop. Then you’ll input the pairing code into the hun to move forward.

He accidentally did a full reset because thats what he thought I said to do the next time VRchat started crashing. It wasn't.

    Hi, I made a reddit post about this issue and like 3 weeks ago you replied to it with this video. I only just got around to doing this, probably the worst possible day to try with all the Meta madness that happened today, but sadly at least right now this did not work for me. The Meta Quest Developer app kept saying "login error, make sure logged into same device as developer device", and once I just logged in and out on my Quest, it then kept giving Bluetooth errors even though I know bluetooth is working for the quest and my PC. The app also just stops seeing my quest 2 after these errors unless I restart my PC. This is still helpful though since I didn't know a PC app like this existed, I only thought it was the phone app, and since the phone app has been busted for like 10 centuries, I can only hope that maybe the PC app gets fixed faster and I can get everything to work.

      The app may work when it detects the headset on your home network.
      Did you take advantage of the friend referral? Both parties receive $30 if a new quest user accepts the referral prior to activating the headset.

      It’s unfortunate, hard to say what the cause is with a deep diagnostic.
      Good luck and hope it works for you.

    I clicked on next on the Sign in with MQDH Account and it’s been loading for a while. Is it normal for it to take a while or is something wrong?

      Very odd. Could try to reinstall and restart your pc.
