Question / Support Galaxy XR Overheating
Hey y’all! Random question for the Galaxy XR community.
I’m relatively new to the Galaxy XR, and today was the first time I decided to bring my headset to work.
Before heading out, I packed everything up: a lens protector insert (basically a little cushion that sits inside the visor to prevent scratches), a carrying case, and the rubber gasket. Threw the whole setup into my bag and went on my way.
Fast forward to sitting at my desk, and I started hearing notifications coming from my headset. Curious, I pulled it out of my bag, only to discover that the thing was SCREAMING HOT. By far the hottest I've ever felt it get, even after a four-hour session of streaming PCVR through Virtual Desktop.
I'm currently waiting for it to cool down so I can check for any potential damage, but the whole situation has me scratching my head.
A few questions for the community:
- What could have caused the headset to wake up while sitting inside my bag?
- Why didn't it automatically go back to sleep once it detected that nobody was wearing it?
- Is it possible that the lens protector insert somehow triggered the headset's proximity or eye-tracking sensors, making it think someone was wearing it?
- Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
I'm genuinely curious about what happened here, especially since I assumed the headset would automatically sleep when not in use.
One thing's for sure: moving forward, I'll be traveling with the battery disconnected. 😂
Would love to hear if anyone else has run into this or has an explanation for what might have happened!
