the thing about the battery has been a common myth in phones for a while and the same applies to the quest. batteries in phones and electronic devices have protective measures that shut off the battery and dont let it over charge. dont worry about how long you charge your phone OR quest 2 :)
I didnt know about the taking the cord out thing until too late, now my quest 2 gets only like an hour and a half of playtime unless I use battery pack but this advice definitely is going to help for when I get questt 3
I have had my quest for 3 years, had to factory reset it 2 times so far. Good video though. Maybe add only sideload trusted apps as there may be malware that will destroy your quest and fast charging (like using a laptop charger) isn't the best. Also, I once got the "No Command" Android error on my quest, strange as I didn't mess with the bootloader
@@Billybob-go8hn Only Lithium-ion batterries , and not cz of overheating, it's just a draw back of such battteries ( nd yep iphone uses these batteries , too)
so with the lens burn in thing would it be bad if i was in the passenger seat during a car ride and was playing my ocules quest 2 throughout the car ride
So actually, I'm pretty sure that it hurts the battery if you stop charging early. This is just what I've always been told, and I may be wrong. Please tell me if I am incorrect.
He's wrong. You shouldn't over charge but you shouldn't under charge either. Running it down to 10% is fine you just don't want to drain it consistently.
I overcharge it bc the autowake doesnt turn off and if i take it out it will go on everytime and yes i did try to turn off autowake but it didnt work aswell
I left a phone vr headset (no phone) by a window, and the sun mented a line across the front plastic! ☀️🔎🔍 Lesson learned! I keep my Quest in the box, and even 3D printed a latch. 👍
my quest is always plugged in because thats how it works, and whenever I take my headset off I ALWAYS put it on the charger to make sure i have as much play time as possible
No one tells you to buy a microfiber cloth, use that as a lens cover for $2. I buy a big pack and stuff it against the lenses. Then I cycle that one out as a cleaning cloth and put a new one in the quest.
im so sad, ive played so long on my oculus, now its gone forever :( i was looking at my settings that shows my battery and i sat there for like a second, it ran out from 49 to 47 pretty fast
a phones battery life doesnt actually get worse if you charge it to full battery. most devices (such as phones and laptops) have devices that prevent battery damage to happen (usually by ceasing the charging) when charging for long periods of time, the problem instead is that the Quest 2 lacks these devices, making them prone to battery damage
Facts , I charge my I phone , MacBook Pro and meta quest to 100% and never had a problem. My meta quest 2 is 3 years old and I gave it to my little sister still get over 2 hours from a full charge with a battery bank 7 hours plus. 😊
Bro said to not get it to 100 percent because it makes the battery life shorter, so he tells you to not charge it to 100 making ur battery life shorter💀
The link cable can charge faster than you use it. Unless you have a low power type C slot. I bought a PCIE USB card and it wasn’t enough. Got a new motherboard with a 20g/s high powered port right on the board and have zero issues. The meta 2 on the other hand, sucks really bad!! For the price its worth it though but if it doesnt last for a few years then I wouldn’t get it. The meta 3 is coming out in a month. Prices would probably drop on the meta 2 but if its your first VR and you want to play games like DCS then maybe buy a better one.
cool so instead of having 2 hours of playtime i can use only 60% of it and have 1 hour, this is so cool and helps me have more time to play it in the long run!1!1!
The way mine gets killed is playing gorilla tag in a bit to small room and not using wrist straps. (My walls are mad)-(Also I started using wrist straps) :)
So at 60% charge I'm getting about 70 minutes play time before I switch it off to charge? 😂 And that means when I want to play it I'll be waiting a few hrs charging before I can play it? No mines staying on charge.
If you charge it till 100 % you will hurt the battery capacity. Say like a quest 2 has 2 hours of life in a charge. If you charge it to full it will hurt the battery so next time you do a charge you will have 1 hour 50 minutes and if you do it to much it could half the battery life to. 1 hour
the point about charging is actually false. The charger has overcurrent protection. The reason why the quest heats up when charging is because of how energy stores into the battery. a lot of electricity becomes heat. it will not heat up when it reaches 100%. Lots of people keep parroting this myth for a long time now, even if the issue was already fixed a long time ago. your fine just leaving your quest pugged in. whats worse is when you leave your quest to drain to 0%
THE THUMBNAIL, THAT HAPPENED TO MY CONTROLLER AND IT'S BEEN GLITCHING FOR THE PAST YEAR SO I DON'T EVEN USE IT ANYMORE. (Sorry was just surprised about the thumbail being so accurate,) Should I buy a new controller or is there a cheaper way to fix it?
I’m gonna completely forget the charging thing with the quest 3 😭 Edit: if you put the quest near a air conditioner while charging might make this issue not be a problem
@@SpeedyTheFoxOfficial not sure. I have purposefully felt my vr after I had it charging over night and it felt cool. I’ve always got a fan going and a window in my room. So that may be the case

It's better to put your headset to "sleep" when you know after Like 10-15 maybe 20 minutes your gonna play again
the thing about the battery has been a common myth in phones for a while and the same applies to the quest. batteries in phones and electronic devices have protective measures that shut off the battery and dont let it over charge. dont worry about how long you charge your phone OR quest 2 :)
really? thanks, i thought i was killing my quest 2 for a second there
Omg thx i thought i was destroying my quest
The actual Quest 2 charger stops at about 80%. If you use a different charger, it will charge to 100%, but it will stop charging there.
My quest 2 charger charges it to 100%
And it’s the one you get from the box
wait if i charge it to 85 then the playtime will still be decreased, so no mater it’s always be decreased
I didnt know about the taking the cord out thing until too late, now my quest 2 gets only like an hour and a half of playtime unless I use battery pack but this advice definitely is going to help for when I get questt 3
Quest 3 battery life is worse
@@Jbotw23 but if you use MR, if you use normal VR or Passthrough Your Charge Will Be Better Than Quest 2.
i have been watching these types of videos bcuz im gonna get a vr soon and they will probably help alot in the future
Same lol

@@kaysarinc It's something to do with android and that, they probably fixed it
@@bestbleb7264 they did not fix it I had one a week ago.
But there was a lot of dust in some compartments so I was able to fix with no factory reset
No command happend when you power on holding down the + button it rebooted you to recovery mode
Just press volume + - and power at the same time. Its not a bug or something. Its just feature of stock android recovery
i watch these so much and i like the advice mainly because i am buying a quest 2 soon
thanks bro
I just got my oculus and it's so helpful
@@flipvr5136 thank you
I'd wait a few months if you can. The 3 is right around the corner and I imagine they will do something to move the 2's when it's released.
@@H8Magnet your totally right i never even thought of that
what about having the curtains closes and leaving your vr next to the window but there are curtains covering the window?
thats fine
3:49 or put it in a case?
To stop lens burn in put a blanket or towel over if your parents don’t buy one for you or you don’t have time to buy one
Me: So if my quest is hot it wastes battery life?
*proceeds to put quest in freezer*
i dont know but can you fix that battery shortage to the headset or does it hust stay like that?
Does the quest 2 not have overcharge protection? I feel like it’s more of an overheating issue for the first tip than a overcharge issue.
Yes, it does. This guy is clueless.
yes it has this guy is spreading misinformation
Everything does, but batteries go bad after being recharged 400 times. That is why iPhone batteries die so fast after a year. He is probably right
@@Billybob-go8hn Only Lithium-ion batterries , and not cz of overheating, it's just a draw back of such battteries ( nd yep iphone uses these batteries , too)
@@Billybob-go8hnno he is wrong
in the.middle of the night or when im not playing my vr how do i know WHEN TO CHARGE IT OR UNCHARE IR
All I do is put mine quest 2 in battery when it's like 15 or 20 and I when I see the green ligth I imidieatly plug out mine charger is this good?
Getting a quest 2 tomorrow so I’ve been watching a lot of your videos about taking care of the quest
what if you have a specall charger that stops to charge when it reaches max? my quest doesnt get hot when reached 100%
i do nothign it this video whenever i stop playing my headset i charge it?
so with the lens burn in thing would it be bad if i was in the passenger seat during a car ride and was playing my ocules quest 2 throughout the car ride
How would you cause dont you need a boundary
ya need a boundary you can't anyways
Idk
So actually, I'm pretty sure that it hurts the battery if you stop charging early. This is just what I've always been told, and I may be wrong. Please tell me if I am incorrect.
can you leave the battery until 10% or no, if it can I would be happy and it would be cool but if not then I don't really know and might deal with it.
10% is cool
He's wrong. You shouldn't over charge but you shouldn't under charge either. Running it down to 10% is fine you just don't want to drain it consistently.
Does the battery rule apply to quest 3?
Is it okay to put it next to a room light
3:29 I just shed a few tears
bro this literally help me so much I just got my quest yesterday thank you so much bro instant new sub! ❤❤❤
Thank you bro
This whole video is just him seeing how much he can roast us in 7 minutes😂
Love your videos❤❤❤
thanks
Can you use alcohol pads to clean the lens? I clean my IPhones screen with alcohol pads.
truth is i actually have no idea. if u find out let me know please
sheit i just use my shirt and call it a day😂
@@theviriditasspot3668 😂
it says in the manual thingy that you should never use strong solvents or alcohol cleaners
I take pretty good care of my quest 2 then, because I got it when it first came out and it still playing well.
I just got a quest 2 like a week ago, and ive done everything correctly except when I sometimes leave it on for like 5 minutes.
1:23 does this apply when i have 256g?
I overcharge it bc the autowake doesnt turn off and if i take it out it will go on everytime and yes i did try to turn off autowake but it didnt work aswell
the fact that I was doing number 1 while watching the video shows that this might be the video for me
I left a phone vr headset (no phone) by a window, and the sun mented a line across the front plastic! ☀️🔎🔍
Lesson learned!
I keep my Quest in the box, and even 3D printed a latch. 👍
Thank you so much this is really helpful i have been playing vr since december 25th and i really needed this and thanks again

Pro Tip: If you leave your Quest 2 on, it uses battery faster than if you just turn it off.
Man, thanks for that.
When I try to shut it down, it says “please charge your device while we update it” like dawg I can’t even turn it off, and it doesn’t update too

So basically don’t use your quest 2 or else the battery will break
Ever since I have got my quest 2 I have always closed the curtains when I’m playing or charging it lol
