Hey guys,
While I wait for the AT&T model of the Galaxy S2 to be released here in the States, wanted to bring you all a review of the Phonejoy bluetooth controller (both the analog and non-analog models) - this is an accessory I'm definitely impressed with, and I honestly believe it will change the way we see mobile gaming.
Check out the full review below, my giveaway video is coming next! So stay tuned for that too

Hey guys I'm on the verge of buying a LG G4 (ordered yesterday) and I was wondering what controller works best with this device. I have been looking mainly at moga controllers and I am torn between the pro and pro power models. I have read some reviews and watched videos and it seems to me that the pro power is a minor upgrade from the pro (only quick charge and battery indicator added) and the pro is lighter and has this grip texture. Does anyone own both controllers? If yes would you say it is worth getting the pro power over the pro? Also I understand that lollipop broke compatibility with most games (see reviews on amazon). This is for the pro and hero power models but oddly I haven't seen anything similar for the pro (still on amazon). There are also many recent negative reviews for the moga pivot app on the play store regarding the fact that it's almost now impossible to connect the newer controllers via the pivot app and the devs falling to provide a proper fix. Can anyone confirm any of the above?
Thanks
I just recently got the Pro Power. I saw it as a better option since it can charge your phone while you play. I've dedicated my old G3 for gaming and haven't used it on my G4 yet. Had problem using the controller on the PSP emulator I was playing on.

So I'm interested in VR. Looks like the inexpensive headset from Samsung ($99) doesn't support the note 4 without physically modifying the unit for the note 4 to fit? I'm going by what I've read and seen on YouTube as I have not tried for myself.
While searching around, I've found several generic VR headset that come with a Bluetooth remote controller for about $20.
My question is for those familiar with VR. Seems to me like when you dock your note 4 in a Samsung VR headset via USB it put the phone in a VR mode where you can launch and control games, videos, etc...
So can you do the same with one of these generic headset that do not have a usb docking port?
Obviously I'm sure you could play VR youtube videos, but what about the occulus gallery? The VR specific games? Can you force the note 4 into whatever VR mode the Samsung branded headset initializes (by usb docking) without it being usb docked?
Hoping someone who has used VR on the note 4 will chime in with some advice.
Many thanks in advance.
I'm curious to this too.
I bought a Samsung branded gear VR, the consumer edition ($99 one) on Craigslist and cut it to fit my note 4. All the controls work by my rom isn't loading the oculus gear VR software, so I've been using it with google cardboard stuff. Youtube videos, cardboard games and stuff. It works fine as a fancy cardboard. Just thought I'd let that be known.
Hi, I have a note 4 with its Gear VR Developer edition.
I know that considering its shape, when you watch a movie you can get this resolution

What about the new VR built for Note 8?
Can real 720p be reached for a movie?
(perhaps I'll buy this phone but the "no 4k thing" is stopping me)
Thanks
I own every gear vr Samsung has released and this one with the note 8 is by far the best one yet.
Sure, the screen door effect is still an issue that 4k may or may not address but do you really want to miss out on all the new software development as vr grows and becomes more mainstream? Not me!
I just installed Samsung's PhoneCast vr app and OMG!!! I love being on the cutting edge!
PhoneCast = kodi in vr! Or any phone app for that matter.
I have watched many movies and TV shows with the gear vr and I am enjoying every minute of the experience.
Hi, thanks for answering : )
You know... my Note 4 is still working ok and that 4k missing is making me doubt a little
Perhaps a real 720p might convince me for good
BTW glad to read it's the best one so far:good:
I thought that once you inserted your Gear VR compatible device into the GearVR. It automatically switches the resolution to QuadHD?
Hi all,
Just got a Note 9 and was thinking about VR. Googling failed to reveal much about the current state of the market so I'm not sure which kit to buy. Seems like most of them have their own closed ecosystem? Anyone got a good link comparing the options? Thanks.
You would have to get the latest model SM-R324, which comes with the bundle Gear VR Controller. But you will have to contact Samsung for a special adapter in order to use your Note 9 in the Gear VR as the Note 9 is slightly thicker than the Note 8. Samsung will provide the adapter to you free of charge, once they have asked you a few questions.

It's an N960F, didn't come with a controller. I was wondering if the Gear VR would be the best option here since it's kind of pricey and requires an adapter and all. Anyway I'm giving the DESTEK V4 VR a try, it states compatibility with the Note9, comes with a Dream controller and I can just send it back to Amazon if it doesn't work well enough.

That will probably work with Google Cardboard apps. But if you want the full Samsung Oculus Gear VR experience, you will need to get the Gear VR. I got mine with my work bonus last year. I only use it for 360 videos. I find VR gaming to be quite nauseating. But it is gaming on the GearVR is pretty fun.
Hi to all. Just upgraded to Mi Note 10 from old Mi4.
I downloaded Fortnite but it's real hard to use with touch. I'm searching about a compatible controller but i''m a bit confused.
I have a Nintendo Switch too.. so i'm searching a solution that work in both scenario.
After too many test these are results:
- i connected Nintendo Joy-Con using Mi note 10 Bluetooth. Both devices pair without any problem. However.. no response in the game. Randomly something happen clicking all button. Unusable.
- i bought a Maegoo Controller on Amazon. It work OK with Nintendo Switch but with Mi Note 10 i can only pair but ...again ... no response. Downloaded some Gamepad test app on playstore... nothing to do.
- Found on the web some info about Nintendo PRO Controller. It seems that supported from Android 10. I want to know if anyone have tested it with Mi note 10. However i read that Android10 just now released so... if really support Controller PRO... would be a perfect solution for me.
At the end... Epic FAQ says:
Yes. On Android, we support most Bluetooth controller adapters, such as:
Steelseries Stratus XL
Gamevice
Sony DualShock 4 Wireless Controller (Android OS 10 or newer)
Xbox Wireless Controller
Razer Raiju Mobile
Razer Junglecat
Moto Gamepad
These are expensive gamepad... and not seems to work with my Nintendo switch
