Quest 3 owners etc

unless i'm just unlucky the batteries that come with the KKCOBVR halo headstrap appear to be crap with regards to longevity, I've just ordered my 4th at £30 because the first 3 have died, some within a month going up to around a year for the longest lasting one. i really like the headstrap but spending this much on batteries, well i'm just not happy about. if this 4th battery dies then i will dump the headstrap altogether to buy a Bobo one.

It might be cheaper to replace the 18650 batteries in the battery pack. If you kept the old ones you could have a fix frenzy and have UNLIMITED POWAAAR, MWAAA HAA HAA!.

Yeah, my Elite Strap has been a bit temperamental like you say and sometimes wouldn't be detected by the headset. I've also found I need to unplug the strap's USB-C from the headset when I'm not using my Quest. Otherwise it seems to auto-wake/power on the device when it's connected and drains the battery until both it and the headset are flat! Are they all like that or is it just mine?

Id actually contacted Meta when they had the initial recall and they sent me another one though never asked for the first to be returned so I have two of them! I haven't used the spare yet but, whilst it works OK, I've always has the feeling that my original one had some kind of issue !

I never noticed it auto powering on the headset but it absolutely would drain itself and the headset power if left plugged in, did it pretty fast too. I ended up simply leaving the thing plugged into the charger all the time as per meta's recommendations.

Got an order confirmation this morning and £15 credit, I was all excited to get back to some better length VR session until I spotted this in the confirmation email:

Your Elite Strap with Battery replacement order is confirmed and will begin shipping within the next 8 weeks.

I really hope that's just covering themselves in case of supply issues and not actually accurate! :cry:
 
Exceedingly relieved to discover it was definitely just them covering themselves, coming via DPD and due tomorrow apparently, honestly an amazingly positive experience with Meta support over the issue :)
 
A neat little feature that went unannounced, was the conversion of 2D pictures in the mobile app gallery and synced, are converted to 3D in the headset gallery. Works on Q2 as well.

I'm not sure if this feature is available on v85 but I downloaded a couple of the old Rift store images from the link. When viewed in the headset gallery with the expanded curved screen mode, you can move closer to it until it fills your whole field of view. Magically, I'm transported back to the VR wonder of 2017.

And why not the Rift store music playing in the background as well

 
Well on Quest 2 and got update as well, one thing I notice that within a app such as Wander, if I take headset off, and put in back on within a few seconds before it entirely goes to sleep, I have a black screen which necessitates taping on the power button to bring back to normal.

Doesn't happen in the home Enviroment.
 
I picked up 7th Guest on Horizon+ and am enjoying it. It's got a bit of jank but the atmosphere is impressive and I'm intrigued by the story. Have no memory of the original game, although I did play it.

It's not as good as Ghost Town. I played that earlier this year and thought it was incredible.
