I will not go near meta (quest oculus) what ever they call themselves again. Oculus sold us out when they sold it to facebook in my opinion. Any way moving on lol. Should i wait to see what is out next year or go for pico 4. I was going to buy it at end of this month (next week). I no there is always something better round the corner coming out but how long will that be be for the pico 5 etc.
 
Sorry, don't mean to sidetrack your thread, but every Oculus headset from the DK2 is a Facebook headset. The Rift Civ1, Facebook. The Rift S also Facebook. Facebook have owned Oculus since 2014. If you had a Rift S or Rift Civ1 some of the best PCVR games available were, yes you guessed it, Facebook games.

Back on topic, If you are only using the headset for Sit down, sim type games, then I would also consider the Reverb G2 or maybe the Pico Neo 3. Somebody who has both the Pico4 and Reverb G2 can comment on which is better in games like Elite Dangerous and FS2020.
At least it wasnt mandated sign in to facebook. I will be going for Pico 4 next week and comfort is a must. Thanks though :)
 
I use to have a quest 2 but it broke and have a little library on the store but most are on steam. If a game was on quest store or steam store i would go with steam store as i knew that other headsets would work with steam. I was wondering since quest 2 updated its name to meta quest that there be updated head sets?.

May be i should make a new topic but i will put here. I no its all been changed over to meta but when i go to oculus website it takes me to meta website. How do i sign in to see my old profile what i bought in past etc from oculus?. I did the horizon setup, but can you go back to see what you put etc or have toy got to wait until setup with head set when it comes?.
Im just getting ready and setting all app up on my desktop etc.

Ideally you should have logged in to you old Oculus/meta account and then migrated it to a new horizon account. You should still be able to log in to your old Oculus account, but you'll be forced to use a fb account or create a new horizon account rather than use the one you already created. Welcome to the metaverse.

Should i just uninstall the oculus app on desktop then?. I have also downloaded the meta app on phone and all games are there what i got from the desktop app. Everything looks like its there. i just need to wait for head set now which is Monday. By the looks of it you continue setup on the head set itself?.

You should be able to also update your desktop app to your meta one which will allow you to do PCVR and have all your games in one place.

Yeah the app also updated to meta app on desktop. I think everything is fine i think it just me thinking i pressed the wrong button setting it all up. lol Just hope im not logged into facebook hehe.

I think if anything is to be picked at, it is the battery life of the Quest Pro HMD...
2hrs is maxed.
USB 5V 1A (5W) using PCVR, makes hardly any difference in battery lasting any longer.
I also have a cable that connects to a wall socket and PC, but that is also limited to 5V 2A (10W) this also doesn't improve the battery life much...

Running Air link, and plugged into the wall, the HMD doesn't drain.

Shouldnt the typec usb 3.0 be enough to charge it using PC while running?.

Been trying since 7PM to pair quest 2 with app on iphone but still stuck at where you put the number in as it will not pair. It connects to the app but then disconnects. Never had this problem with the older quest 2 i had. Now its 1040pm lol. Will wait until tomorrow now.

I was up till 12AM last night and tried a couple of hours this morning and still not got past paring as it wont stay connected. Meta practically blaming your wifi connection.

I have even reset the hub, Turned it on and of etc but still no luck. All i need to do is get past the paring screen as i be playing Steam games mainly.
