It's late and you might have already figured it out, but in case anyone wanders in here, try different ports. My pc case has a type C in the front IO panel and that one did not work for some reason. Then I plugged into the one from my mobo at the back and got reconized.
bruh 2021 there's no "settings" menu in the oculus app (or at least it's not in the right spot), and wherever I looked there was no developer mode option Edit: this is an issue because I filled out the form and did everything in the video right
@@va_duck2497 there's no toggle to turn the Developer Mode on, it sent me to a website to create an Organization Account then get verified, log into that new account on oculus and then toggle on Developer Mode... this too complicated for no reason :(
@@herglimpse Make sure u update oculus on your phone and make sure both the phone and quest are connected to the exact same wifi. I couldn't find the settings with an iphone but it worked with an android
Ive done literally everything - everyone in the comments has said. I have DL games before on Sidequest and now it wont detect it for some reason. And i tried different ports, tried 3 different usb C cords.
I was programming and testing on it yesterday. Now today... Shows up in Windows, Occulus Desktop app, Phone app, and can even Air Link. But SideQuest still can't detect the headset via USB or wifi.
The debugging option never happens on my oculus. Ive watched 2 seperate videos on how to setup sidequest and this step is what is preventing me from connecting the device to sidequest
I looked on the most recent version it said to reset your oculus and your computer/phone and then try it and make sure you don't have on any adblocker preventing ADB from working
Dev mode is on. Ive tried unplugging and plugging it back in. Still didnt work. I even tried resetting my PC and it didnt work. Sidequest worked befroe for me but now it doesnt. Ive connected my oculus to my PC before so dont think i have to enable the connection, if i did it would prompt me already. I don't know what the problem is! I even deleted and reinstalled sidequest..
@@stoney2428 I have an oppo android phone. On mine first you need to go to settings, then scroll down and find additional settings and go into that and scroll down to find otg connection option. Also you can turn on usb debugging by going into additional settings and then developer options.
Need some help my quest is being pick up by side quest but won't show up if file explorer I've updated my drives changed wires and ports but nothing is working HELP
if you are having trouble with this then if you have a battery pack strap then you have to unplug the battery pack and plug it straight into the headseat. you cannot use the charging port from the battery pack
Ok I got something that just worked for me when I plug the cable into the headset and it asks whether to allow data transfer, select no instead of yes. Whenever I pressed yes it would immediately disconnect but by pressing no it stayed connected and allowed me to install games.
ahh thanks, I thought I had developer mode on because there is a developer option in the quest settings, but that is unrelated, I still had to do it in the app as you show. Thanks.
It didint work in the developer mode switch is not a switch it sends me to a website to sign in on something that I won’t know of because if that I cannot continue the process
nice, worked. i noted a slight change i think due to update form Oculus. i needed to connect device via the app, then "finish setup" and then connect. then check/restart sidequest
Dev mode is on I’ve downloaded the abd drivers I’ve pressed yes inside the headset my quest is connected to the pc air link is off I’ve unplugged the cable then reconnected it but nothing works I’ve basically tried everything I can now
Every one of the tutorials I’ve seen use android phones. I have an iPhone and there is no setting for developer mode that I can find. What can I do? My headset is not detected in Sidequest.
Im having trouble my app looks nothing like the one on your phone it says Alerts in the bottom right hand corner not settings developer mode is enabled and still no connection.
I had this problem just today and I was so stumped until I figured out that Oculus rescinded my developer mode access after my credit card expired. Even if you get the option of enabling the debug mode within the headset it doesn't mean it will work, you need to check with the mobile app. Once I figured that out the rest was super easy. By the way, annoyingly enough, if dev mode is gone you can no longer access your unknown sources applications.
I had this issue with my headset. When plugging in cable from headset to my Mac I received allow/deny icons. When pressing allow, SideQuest still said unauthorized. Went to Oculus app on my iPhone and disabled dev mode then re-enabled it and in the oculus headset received a new notification to allow/deny or allow and always remember on this computer. Now it works :)
I already had my USB enabled before doing it from PC but all of a sudden my quest has been acting up, support recommend resetting it did that now other issues are coming I would get my replacement but I'm waiting til March 😉 Edit: oh yeah this worked btw
Bro awesome videos but am struggling to connect my oculus quest 2 to sidequest its a constant red light and I've made a developer etc but when I go to enable it... i don't have the option to toggle developer mode on or off... it says... Get Started? Please help
Thanks for the help but I have a little problem so I have developer mode in my account and I have another account hooked up to my headset but when I try to hook up my headset it says type in the code that I get when I put my headset on but I don't see no code can you help me on that
just another solution I found was switching the places where you plug it in, I have a 2 sided c port and I had this problem but I just switched the wire around and plugged the oculus side into my device and the device side into the oculus
I keep getting "Allow connected device to access files?" instead of the USB debugging prompt. Developer mode is turned on in the Oculus app, which is up-to-date. I did a factory reset on my Quest, I re-verified my developer account. . . . I don't know what else to do at this point. I restarted both the head set and the PC. On Sidequest the top three circles are green except for the "Device Authorized" one, which is still red. Any ideas?
can u help me with this? so i was using my samsung charger and i did all the steps like install drivers and stuff but there was suppose to be like allow debugging or whatever when u plug ur oculus to pc and it doesnt show anything up can you please help me
Hey so why does this still not work for me? When I connect it to my computer the only thing that shows up is allow files not the usb debugging thing so what should I do?
Mine previously worked, and had a green circle/was connected in SideQuest. I successfully installed 3 apps using it. But now when I connect it via the USB to my laptop, it says not connected. I've restarted everything, tried all 4 different USB C ports on the laptop, tried a different USB C cable. No connection. Developer mode is still toggled ON, and I even tried turning it off and back on again. Nothing. What else can I try?
@@se7entythree besides it’s not like you’ll need it much longer, I think they are adding a way to access it on the quest and quest 2 without PC in the newest update, and BMF is doing a video on it tomorrow
It disabled it automatically, maybe something related to one of the latest update. It never happened to me. But glad to hear it worked out for you eventually.
i always use virtual desktop for pc gaming cause when i use my oculus link or air link i get the shittiest lag to the point where i cant even move let alone play a game and virtual desktop is butter smooth at 60 fps with only occasional lag spikes that only last a second or 2. when i load sidequest in virtual desktop it wont connect my headset. do i need to have a cable connected to get sidequest to work?
did not help at all. i have alread reconnected the cable and verified that dev mode was on with no pattern set. it is still red. and i Hook up the cable. you can hear it. Make the connection sound. So, you know, it's connecting to the computer.
