@@shaneharris2770 Hi sidequest VR official you need to make it compatible with ios, please!!!!! I have a pc but It would be awesome and you would gain a lot more people!
Thank you so much for the step by step on how to side load for my Quest2. I've already installed a couple games via wifi. This is great to find more games to play.
I am pretty new to VR and I am just such a fan of your channel. You've got clear passion for the technology and a lot of knowledge/variety in your content. Thanks for continuing to make all these great videos. I'm always looking forward to any new videos. Have a wonderful week!
THANK YOUU. Also you don’t need a phone if you don’t have android if you have a connecter thing you do the same process but on a pc and use side quest on your pc I did it that way and it still works
I just tried but when connecting the usb cord to quest and phone after setting up debug mode and opening the side quest app, i dont get the message “allow side quest installer to access quest 2” option. Im on the latest version of android if that matters
I still don't understand how to sideload random APKs that arent in the sidequest library. In your screenshots (at 5:59 for example) it shows some of the apps that i'd like to install. Do you have to push those in via PC, or can we use sidequest to install those?
there was no prompt when I first opened up sidequest that said to always open sidequest Installer when oculus is connected and when I allow access, sidequest doesn't show up in the apps to choose to open the USB device.
I didn’t get any pop ups show, and my quest 2 would not connect with the usb c to usb c cable, i used a google phone that has the usb stuff, please tell me what to so
Great video but one of the most important features is missing and that's sideloading a file stored on phone. The desktop version has it but its completely missing from the mobile version
@@thekarmalife2693 oh really? Where's the option to sideload a file Not downloaded from sidequest? Perhaps you could enlighten us. Ive been through all the options and sideloading a file not downloaded from sidequest is not present
I hope they make this iOS compatible. There are a lot of Oculus users on that mobile platform and we’d appreciate it. If the desktop version can run on a Mac I can’t see why a mobile version couldn’t do the same.
Also I haven’t tried this but there is a Samsung app that allows an android client onto an app on your iOS device, it may work but because it is an app within an app it also may not send the request to connect to the quest
@@matteoferrari8963 sadly no ..i think its just certain android phones that are OTG compatible like in the video i think she was using a samsung.. i have a LG stylo 6
@@silvrsurfer I haven’t jailbroken my phone in years but I use to download from PlayStore all the time. Now only thing that may get in the way is using ADB. You can install an android OS on an iPhone but may not be worth it.
@@silenthashassin8912 I would just recommend getting a cheap android phone on like eBay Craigslist or Kijiji(if ur in Canada). Something under 100 that could get the job done.. but damn I was unaware you could actually run the Play store on iOS. Was it some sort of virtual machine or was it directly on the os, cuz I thought android & iOS apps used different coding languages
Thank you so much 💕💕.. I bought my Quest 2 when it came out... I never even paid attention to the double ended usb-c cable that came with it... I'm so happy... Downloading Doom 3 right now... Much love ♥️💯
how do I do it right because I connect my phone to it then a little noise plays when I connect it to my quest but I only get a notification on my phone to allow access I never get anything for my quest it's just a black loading screen
@Purphat_vr ik this is old but 1 thing they forgot to tell you when you connect your phone and quest via usb you need to scroll down from the top of your phone click where it says usb being used basically and then make it be controlled from connected device and it'll work
I just wanted to say that i’ve never done anything like this before i had tried the bugjaeger method before with no luck so you can imagine my excitement when this actually worked for me Am currently downloading funkin vr at the moment because i’ve wanted to play fnf but i got no pc but after this i can imagine downloading tons of other games in the future quest 2 prices are kinda high
I keep getting stuck in step 3. I made sure my samsung s9 was fully updated and even used the OTG USB adapter and everytime I plug it in and click "accept" on the phone end of things, it just black screens me in the headset. Help?
@@RB-gy6jq it’s bc android is just the test phones for the high end phones just like iPhone cus they are not taking the risk android are taking rn that the app is not working for them lol
When ever I do it there's an option if it should be for charging , transfer files , and transfering photos when I press on transfer files its just 3 dots and black screen how do I fix it?
@@retobowbeans if you have an otg cable and if the otg cable is plug into the quest it won't work but if the otg cable or link is plug in to the phone it will work I have tried it and make sure to enable otg connection in additional settings if you have it
I've been using the sidequest mobile app up until recently where I'm having the same problems you are having. My only guess that it's because of the v29 update
@@xerox4eva that's explained in the video how.. you'll need the pc ones to install the filemanager on quest via sideloading. You could do that with another android phone, which is able to push files via ADB ofc, but it's more easy with a computer
Would this be where maybe trying bugjaeger would help instead? They allow direct i believe and you can find the files on another site other than side quest
Please answer this, I have a Motorola e6 phone which supports usb OTG, whenever I go on to the side quest app though it doesn't show the pop up. It doesn't even allow me to enable storage on sidequest. (Im using a usb micro to usb c cable)
Sadly it uses ANDROID DEBUG BRIDGE so it makes sense, maybe one day there will be a Apple or alternative OS option but for now it probably will stay android only for a while.
I know right! This is ridiculous! Why can’t they make it for all operating systems. Literally double the amount of people would be download and playing it. Joke!
@@retobowbeans Not really. I got it to work by connecting to sidequest on my laptop and fiddling with the ADB options. But it soon stopped connecting again.
For some reson it didn't Work the pop ups never came up and I was never able to connect but your videos were very well made and very well explained so thank you for the video 😁
I got stuck on step 3, when I plug in the cable it the headset chimes like its connected but there are no prompts on my phone or headset and sidequest doesn't recognise that a Quest is connected. anyone else encountered this issue?
Same thing happened to me. I couldn’t do anything to reset so I gave up. I spent two hours of trial and error. The app is still in beta so maybe in the future it’ll get better.
Yes, I know Chary's name is on there. I didn't blur it as our full names or emails are not a secret. I do really appreciate the heads up though, please never stop if you ever think we are showing something weird!
on my phone screen its always said you need to accept promt on target device, i already allow even click dont show again but never get through this step
Mine gets to the popup seen at 6:20 and just stays there. Doesn't move past the popup. there are no prompts to accept on the headset when it pops up either.
One thing I dislike is we can play the side quest games and oculus games directly from the headset itself but what's stopping from playing steam VR games without a need for a PC which is Terri for me all my VR games I bought over the months because I was getting a quest 2 for my birthday but my PC fried itself "to much dust" so now I don't have a PC so I'm trying to figure out what you can do without a PC.
