5 Quest 2 Settings You MUST Turn Off NOW! (2023)

Quest 2 Settings You MUST Turn OFF Now

These are settings that i recommend everyone turn off. Not only will they help with privacy, but also with battery life as well. This is a second part

Counterpoint: Invest in a $40 external battery pack and keep all these settings on for better performance.

Honestly I think people would be less frustrated or downvote less if you just phrased these videos differently and didn't make the titles as clickbaity. Like all the settings you mention in these videos are useful to somebody, people like them and use them regularly. To your credit you do acknowledge that some people have use cases for each, like the productivity users and bluetooth keyboards, and acknowledge that bluetooth tends to be fairly low power anyway. Like it is nonetheless a good idea to remind people that these settings exist and could affect battery life, and to let them make an informed decision on whether or not to leave them on, but saying "You MUST Turn Off NOW!" implies that they're a bad choice for everyone. The only one I really agreed with was the voice control audio storage option for privacy; that is probably a good choice for everybody. I get that it feels like you have to grab people's attention YouTube these days for views but honestly I feel like your videos otherwise have a quality that could speak for itself, if you were just willing to give a little more nuance in the way you present your information.
Also, if a game doesn't support 120Hz, does leaving 120Hz on actually still drain the battery? Or does the game just default to it's highest supported framerate, like 90Hz? Same with hand tracking. Like if the game isn't using it, isn't that basically no different from having it off in the settings? Like it only takes battery for the CPU as you say (or more likely the GPU) if the processor has to actually render those extra frames, AFAIK.

Heyyy, love your videos man, short, and effective

#1: For 120hz, just get an external battery headstrap. You should already have replaced the headstrap by this point, might as well spend a little more on a battery one.

#2: Hand Tracking does not decrease battery life a notable amount. It is extremely negligible the difference it makes.

#3: Almost none of these are actually battery life concerns other than 120hz. The only thing I would recommend not having on is the voice commands for the aforementioned (in the video) privacy reasons.

In terms of the data, everyone is screwed anyway 😂 if you've got a phone or ever used Google at any point in time they already got everything

[RiotSmurf]

The 120hz does not require much more power than the 60 it runs at normally.
The table and couch thing: "Turn that off for the sake of everybody else" What are you even talking about? Who are you effecting by having that on? Certainly not me.

Bluetooth off: Yeah it helps quite a bit to turn it off. Not because it uses lots of cpu, more because its periodically looking for devices to connect to.
Hand Tracking off: Yeah, its kinda neat but everyone i know doesn't use it. To be fair when the controllers are on, it doesn't use any extra energy if the feature is turned on. The only difference is it turns off the even that when you set your controllers down it tried to look for your hands. Not a big battery saver by turning it off, so definitely not a MUST.
Voice control: It's dog doo, turn it off. Facebook is evil, though in their policy they are not listening to you all the time only when you invoke the command and search/ask for something.


With that being said, anything you can turn off that you are not actively using in the settings can potentially save battery life.

[AVrageView]

That is an accommodating video, man; keep it up. Watched the whole video from beginning to end.

[NobuAlter]

if you really want to save battery life the the number 1 thing you NEED to turn off 100% of the time is the power button. when you quest 2 is on it drains your battery so to fix that just turn it off. This extends your battery life indefinitely so that it never runs out again. just turn it off. Your welcome.

How do you turn off the walk overlay? Everytime I look up, I see it, it is just annoying.

[VA_AARO]

My oculus percentage goes down 1 percent every 40-50 seconds

[setyourhandle]

I played vrchat and someone used an avatar so messed up that it crashed and glitched everyone's headsets making it unable to use. Luckily i got it working again

[ReyzaPlayZ]

do you guys know how to turn off the setting that makes it when you walk black on the sides

[garylcamp]

Nice tip buddy but slow down a bit. You are jaming a lot of good info that should have some time to digest. But thanks for the info. (Yeah I can set the playback speed but not the same)

[Joeytt]

I have military time set on my VR and I don't know how to turn it off

[josecavada]

Thanks man started doing air link couldn’t enjoy Skyrim for even an hour before my device started dying

[The-major-gamer]

mine was at 100% and when i turned it on it had lost 3%

[galimirnund]

Thanks for the video I just got one of these. Is there a way to disable the People thing? Who are these people that meta thinks should be my friends? I don't want it....Thanks for the tips..

[anthonierichards]

What you said about the mic being on is exactly what I was thinking....

[Nugget.]

[ingridas]
