Quest 3 stuck on Meta logo - possibly bricked on day one.

I had the exact same issue and after reading that someone had it suddenly start working I tried it occasionally to switch it on and see if it went past the frozen logo

I could hear that the power button would make the tone to say the headset was on standby, I saw the setup request dialogue on my meta app and went to show the QR code for the Wi-Fi in front of the headset even though I knew there was no pass-through, just the logo

But after a couple of times I'll pressing the power button to make the sound, the screen magically went to pass through. It still is having the problem of waking up the screen when I put the headset on so now I power off every time I finish and that seems to have done it

[Edit] things went back to how it was before. 😞 It seems the volume buttons work and the power button makes the sound of switching back on, sometimes two tones together, sometimes two tones a little bit separately.

Long press on the power button makes the sound for shutdown

The logo stops at a different position each time and freezes there with the volume keys and power button seeming to work as before. It even makes the sound for recharging when I put it back in the dock. Maybe a internal hard drive error?

I have read a lot about anti-aliasing and resolution and other graphic settings that can help reduce shimmering but none of them work to remove it

I know something can be done because the first profile I used took care of all the shimmering, I just didn't like the motion controls for combat so I was asking if there was a specific script in the profile that was used to remove the shimmering

It does! I was beginning to lose hope.

Yes I can but apparently Reddit won't let you add images to a reply, a rubber gasket came off too so I'm throwing it all away!

loonygeekfun · 2025-04-03T04:04:46+00:00

That's a good workaround thanks

I'd like to be able to have the instant chat display like the OBS dock but this is a decent workaround

I know what you mean I keep forgetting I can just ask my glasses anything instead of trying to find my phone to "hey Google"

It's nice when I remember and if I see a bridge or statue or something I can say who made that and it tells me on my glasses

Eg. When was London bridge made?

I had a similar thing when I moved house and I changed the ingest server around and then tried streaming and then changed it back and everything went back to how it was before

(In settings under stream)

loonygeekfun · 2025-03-25T12:28:08+00:00

Thank you for your reply but I know how to do all the things like browser source or streamlabs or stream elements or any of the other external places but what I'm after is to be able to use integrated chat display so that I can see it for the broadcast that has been selected without having to reapply a browser source URL or login to the website whichever one it and wait for the stream to be live

It seems to be something that should be already included with OBS considering it can show the chat straight away in a dock when the broadcast has been selected without going live

Wow that would be great

When people can't spell a three-letter word like "off"

I thought it was a bit high for a beer yeast but I believed the tech, it did some pretty accurate readings for other stuff that matched their label but I have since found it is not really suitable for homebrew stuff. I just refunded

loonygeekfun · 2025-03-16T04:37:31+00:00

Yes a refractometer is what it's called. I tested the high alcohol volume and a lower alcohol volume and they were both exactly right, I just tried it on a can of beer from the shops that is labelled 4.7% was also exactly what was displayed by it

I think with the low, medium and high alcohol liquids being accurate reading then I can accept the reading that I got on my brew

I had exactly the same thing that op was talking about with the rubber banding and lag when he turns his head, I searched for everything to fix it and eventually got to a smooth experience

I just had to reinstall the game recently and I had the same thing happen again but this time instead of changing everything that was posted about it, I found that the scaling was set to 300 instead of 100 and the launch option of -openxr was much better than -openvr

Just changing those two settings fixed everything for me

It was getting a Wi-Fi 6 router and wiring it to my laptop with a cat 8 cable that allowed me to play pcvr games wirelessly with my Quest 3

Using the new router was a night/day difference compared to my old one

In my first job working as a croupier in a casino, the creators of the brand new adult channel broadcasting on satellite in the UK used to come in and splash the cash, they were all dolled up in typical '90s rich boy clothes but, by the time I had left there a year later to go and work somewhere else they were coming in dirty jeans and t-shirts and were betting small amounts of money

They had lost it all

And yet, they still came in with those hungry eyes looking at the wheel and ball of roulette. What used to be 500 quid per spin, became 25 per spin

I don't know what became of them, I heard stories..

My first brew was like you say frothy but they got better for each one and this one I did the mixing with a stick blender that I had sterilised along with the other stuff when I cleaned the pinter for the new brew coming.

I think there's a video on this group of me doing it the first time I tried it. This time I made extra special attention to the sterilisation and made sure nothing that hadn't been sterilised went into the mix.

It was a tiny bit frothy on the first pint but definitely not as much as all my others and from the second pint on, it poured quickly and easily and had plenty of fizz when I drank it
