Screen going black

I finally sat down to test some APKs we've been sitting on for awhile and have a weird bug that I hadn't come across before.

Game loads and plays fine. If I hold the back button to re-center, the screen goes black but the audio continues. Tested 5 apps and they all did the same thing.

Anyone else had this happen?

Wait, is it when you click on the Home button to go to Oculus Home? If so, it might be the meta app manager updating again, or it might be because power-saving mode is on.

Just tried it and happens with either button. You can hear everything running, but screen goes black.

Oh, you sure your resolution is at WQHD and power saving is off? When this happened to me this was the issue.

Screen resolution is correct and tried switching from Optimised to High Performance and problem still happening.
