Still getting this issue.. about to send it in soon for a repair. 100% is the front facing sensor on my bottom right side of the HMD. I have put a small sticker that won't leave any permanent marks over the 'problem sensor' and my grey screen issue goes away. Without the sensor covered, it won't let me play more than 10-20 minutes. Anyone have luck sending theirs in without any issues?

I'm coming back to this thread to check in on any pinpointed issues from HTC? I did the trick of covering one of the sensors for now to fix my grey issues, but still find it highly annoying I need to do that. Is it the sensor thats completly **bleep**ing our headsets? The 3-in-1? Our linkbox? Thanks.

I usually unplug my Vive, but turned off SteamVR today after playing for awhile and left my Vive plugged in. I came back a couple hours later to find my Vive hotter than ever, while not even in use. Is this normal? Or is this a sign that our Vive's have heat issues (which causes 'the grey')?

I ended up covering the front left sensor next to the camera today, and it fixed my grey issues as well. Only seems to happen without that sensor covered after 30 minutes of gameplay or less if I'm playing a demanding game. I guess this will do for now!

Mine is having the same issues. Bought it on July 19, 2017; and I've been getting these same issues. Very annoying and embarrasing when trying to stream gameplay to friends and viewers, and I feel like a goof hyping this technology up just to have people watch me on Twitch tinkering with a grey screen for hours on end. I've gotten rid of all reflection, gotten the PCI-E card recommended by Valve support, gone through all the USB/Drivers available, updated all firmware, reseated cables, moved my basestations, and more already. I also think mine may be a heat issue, as when I cover some of the sensors with my hands it seems to work fine; but this is not a real fix as I need my hands to play!.. My last resort may be to use a piece of paper and tape to cover one of the sensors permanently, but I am worried it may make it worse.
