  • The Wi-Fi settings panel will now display if selected during device enrollment.

  • The prompt for "Allow USB Debugging" will only be displayed once now.

Fix a known issue for Workspace ONE

If you're experiencing a known issue listed below for Workspace ONE, please reboot the headset:

  • Stuck on a loading screen after clicking Agree on the "Data Sharing" prompt after device enrollment.

  • Unable to launch an application after enrolling in Workspace ONE.

  • Stuck on a loading screen after the Workspace ONE app is relaunched before an internet connection is established.

  • Stuck on a black screen after choosing Yes on the "You will need to start over and re-enter your information if you cancel" prompt during device enrollment.

  • Stuck on a blank Workspace ONE screen after trying to launch the One Hub app from App Library while the app is already open.

  • Logging in fails or gets stuck after closing the login screen.

General fixes for all MDM

  • "Android Recovery" error is displayed in the headset during a device update after MDM authority was changed for the headset in Device Manager. If this happens, preform a factory reset by pressing the Vol- and Vol+ buttons to navigate the menu, highlight Factory Reset,and press the power button to select this option.

  • Using MDM on a private network that requires certificates instead of a SSID/password combination is possible but not supported. If you do attempt this please check with your Security/IT department to verify that the username is valid and has the correct level of permissions.

  • A headset may disappear from Device Manager when switching from a a third party MDM back to Oculus Device Manager during device provisioning. If this happens, use the Oculus for Business Android app to reprovision the device.

  • Backing out of the Setup Notifications screen after setting a PIN takes the user to the MDM home screen, not the start of the set PIN flow. If you need to set or reset the PIN of an MDM-managed device, use the MDM's web console.

  • MDM applications are not seen in the App Library. This can occur when a headset that is enrolled in MDM is moved to a group with Device Manager that has Sideloaded Apps disabled. If this happens, set Sideloaded Apps to enabled.

  • If Admin Mode is enabled a user will be able to launch apps before enrollment of the headset in MDM is complete.

MobileIron GO known issues

  • Quest 2 devices are listed as "Quest" in the Device Details of the MobileIron Go app.

  • During enrollment the lock screen notification text may appear very dark for entries other than "Don't show notifications". Please select "Don't show notifications."

  • In some situations the Status of a headset will not display "Setting Device Owner Failure" when MDM has been set to the wrong app. If you are having trouble setting up MDM, please check that you have linked the correct app in Device Manager on the Apps page.

  • The "Continue" button is not showing on the enrollment page of MobileIron Go. If this happens, use the joystick on the controller to scroll down.

Workspace ONE known issues

  • In some situations the headset PIN does not change when changed from the Workspace ONE web console. If this happens lock the headset from the web console then have the user put on the headset and unlock it. At that point it should start accepting a PIN change from the web console.

  • When moving a headset that is enrolled in WorkSpace ONE into and out of groups in Device Manager the device lock PIN can sometimes stop working. Use the WorkSpace ONE web console to change the device PIN of the headset.

  • After unenrolling the headset from Workspace ONE the headset display will be a black screen with three floating dots. If this happens, press the Oculus button.

  • In some situations the Status under Mobile Device Manager for a headset in Device Manager does not show as "Installed" after MDM has been assigned. If this happens try the following:

    • Reprovision the headset using the Device Setup app.

    • Refresh the Device Manager page to see if Status has changed.

    • Put on headset to make sure there isn't a prompt you need to click on to continue.

    • If the message for the Status mentions a failure or it still does not say Installed, set MDM Authority back to Oculus Device Manager. Then verify in the headset that the Oculus for Business operating system loads completely. Once Oculus Device Manager is verified as working, change MDM Authority to the third party MDM and try to enroll again.

  • In the latest build the Workspace ONE app panel automatically opens in dark mode. If this happens, you can change to light mode in Settings after device enrollment.
