[@AuraKnight8]

I have an oculus quest 2 and another major tip I have about the headset is: ALWAYS KEEP IT SOMEWHERE SAFE AND KEEP IT SAFE because at first glance it looks and feels chunky but it’s very very Fragile. Think of it as the cordless Apple earphones of the headsets in the market. It’s good but it’s very breakable… I’m tried of seeing friends I talk too say they’re headset has broken lenses, broken controllers, broken straps and the headset itself sometimes. From experience and sometimes from others IT CAN ALSO BREAK FROM INSIDE and that’s bad. So your headset could look fine from the outside but probably not from the inside. The trackers on the controller can go lose, the magnets in the controllers can malfunction, the sensors can stop working, the battery can go bad, the speakers can break, the controllers can drift and all of these issues may not be reversible. In fact I advise not to take it apart especially the controllers because if you set the magnets inside wrong it will cause problems. So keep the headset in a safe place and be careful with it because it’s more fragile than you think.

[@mr_wickly]

Thanks for the advice it really helped to not absolutely destroy my oculus quest 2

[@JesusChrist-lv7uo]

you can use power bank, you can bring it outside, not for too long though, charging it overnight is okay, it cuts out at 100%, then when it goes to 97%, it tops it off.

[@teamholmez86]

Thanks comparing the quest battery to what happened with the Samsung Note is a ridiculous thing to do that was literally a defect in the battery they used it is not something that happens normally because somebody left their phone on charge or decide to use a battery bank most devices have safety features built-in for overcharge protection

[@JAYZ999]

Charging all night won’t hurt the headset. It might decrease battery life over time by small amounts but that’s about it. Don’t scare people into weird habits.

[@Studpum]

I agree. The typical Lithium battery will decrease about 10%-20% every two years with doing a full battery cycle (100% to 0% maybe every 2 days). Other than that. Since we haven’t really seen many reports of the Quest 2 battery randomly combusting, I’d think it’s safe to say that leaving it changed over night won’t harm anything. Using the headset normally will decrease battery life more than leaving it charging over night.

[@Diamond_VR]

@@Studpum ok, thanks guys for the feedback, I have to admit I did not do much research on this (its why I dont like this video)

[@travisdoe4663]

Almost anything these days that has the capability of charging a lithium battery has overcharge protection and cross circuit protection. Otherwise you're liable to make the battery explode into a smoky ball of Fire.

[@thexboxoreo241]

the stuff with not charging it all night it could possibly do the things you mentioned but it also ruins the battery over time so it dies quicker and charges slower

If you have to resort to using your shirt to clean your lenses just do it really light. I know from experience, I’ve actually been doing it because I’m at my grandparents for 2 weeks

[@Keengbob]

1 thing i have to say about sunlight going to my lenses, i remember i got a rift s and i didnt even know that sunlight wasnt allowed on the lenses but now that i have the quest 2 and i know what happens, i usually close the curtains and turn on the lights for safety

[@pickleboyeee1102]

I don't have motion sickness but guys using a mat is the best thing you could buy because if your playing gorilla tag you can move a little bit and hit or throw your controller so a mat helps alot

[@gamerman5285]

Where should I place the ocules if I use a charging doc from Anker that charges it when i place the quest 2 in the spot

[@ZeroSuper0]

I play on top of a bed away from the wall and I barely walk while using my oculus so I just turn off guardian I never got hurt yet so my environment on the bed is pretty safe since it's a big bed but if it's small it's a bad idea.

[@KunnAllu]

I have holded/rested my oculus VR on my forehead, but now i know it can be dangerous, so i better just take headset off if something important should be.

[@kevinhone7526]

When I first bought the Oculus Quest 2 I had to run a lot of test to see how well it survived? Charging survived, yes I did leave it there for the night, and sometimes when I'm awake and the green light is on I unplug it. Also I let it drain to 0% and it survived. And I had no problems. Course I have to drink plenty of water before I play VR.

[@iluvpurplecolor]

One time my oculus fell in water in a sink full of water it still fine after that no damage, just very foggy when I play on it.

[@sccorched]

i want to point out something about being outside. you can use your vr headset outside you just need to make sure there is no prolonged exposure to the lenses. now another thing i want to point out bc alot of ppl get it confused is that the cameras on the front of the quest ARE NOT lenses they can be in the sun. as long as you are wearing your headset no sun will get in

[@yoshihunter1749]

Does rubbing the oculus lenses with shirt make the blur permanently there??

Hi Ik it’s a year later but I have a question, I ordered my quest 2 for Christmas, there’s been many things going around that it melts the charging ports, I’ve been trying to look for recent vids on this but they are all from a year ago, do you have any advice? Sources I got it from said it was due to charging overnight/overcharging/ making your quest to 100% and letting it drain past 20%

[@teamholmez86]

Sorry but what happened with the Samsung note phone was because of a particular defect with the battery they used it's been over a year of quest 2 being in use and nobody has had a problem with the battery so telling people they cannot use a power bank with a device that has two-and-a-half hours of battery life is ridiculous it is not going to damage the battery or make it explode 🤦‍♀️ the quest 2 has built-in features that will stop it from charging when full and there are power Banks that Oculus say are safe to use like the Anker ones with built-in safety features

[@borki2144]

Yeah and the part of him telling everyone not to drain the battery or charge it to 100% I'm pretty sure the quest 2 will shut down before reaching 0%

So it’s safe to play outside at night? Also during the day if there’s a window in the room you are playing, and sunlight comes through the window, will that damage the oculus. Also will household lights damage it?

[@_diplomata]

Only sun, imagine your lenses are magnifying glasses, and it's condensing the run rays into the internals of your VR, damaging it. Just avoid outdoors overall. If you play at night that's fine, but be aware of sorroundings, if you're safe i mean

bruh so annoying with the sunlight thing cus I have had my headset for so long (i bought a regular one, no extra things to it) and my brother told me to not have it in direct sunlight and I had my headset in my sofa and right by my sofa is a window and my little sister doesn't know that and she opened the curtains a tiny bit cus my mom told her to because my curtains are always closed all day and she doesn't like that, so the entire night, direct sunlight was idk, "hitting" the lenses on my quest so this morning when I connected air link and tried to play blade & sorcery, everything was just completely ruined. There were weird glitch textures everywhere inside the lenses, it was unplayably laggy, garbage quality and I could barely see anything, everything got ruined just because of that sunlight
