[Q] Problems loading the 360 Photos app - Samsung Gear VR

Hi.
I just got my Gear VR and am loving it. Only issue is that I can't seem to get the 360 Photos app to load. I've tried selecting it from the 2D Oculus app and from within the headset, and everytime after the loading animation completes I am returned to the Oculus home screen. I've also tried uninstalling it from App Manager and reinstalling it but that didn't help. I've tested a bunch of other Gear VR apps and they're all working fine so I hope it's not a hardware issue. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Figured it out. My Outlook app was creating corrupt images in a folder in my gallery called Cache. Deleted that and it works fine now.

[Q] CM6 gallery issues

I am having issues with the gallery in CM6 RC1. The gallery opens, but will only display pictures taken witht he camera since I installed this ROM. Is there a way to specify filepaths for the gallery to look in to find all of my other images? I have searched quite a bit for a solution, haven't seen this topic come up for anyone else. I'm not a dev, but can follow directions pretty well. Any help would be appreciated.
Just reboot the phone, that's what I did.
I've rebooted several times, also wiped the phone and reflashed everything. I installed a 2d version of the gallery, with the same result. Some of my albums also fail to show up in any music player...I can play them through file explorer, but can't even see them in the players. When I flash back to DD2.7 or 2.8, the files show back up where they should be.
try going into dev tools and start the media scanner... worth a shot
The media scanner didn't help, I had run that a few times already. Thanks though.
Try finding another program to edit photos, open and save them. I had a simular problem with my music, and went through all the songs with an mp3 tag editor doing that, and it all came back normal

[Q] Camera and Gallery problem

Hi,
here is my problem:
When I take a photo, quit the Camera and open my Gallery I can't see the picture I took.
When I reboot the phone and media scan is performed I the picture appears in the Gallery.
Is this normal? Is there anything I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
You should try to use the image review to check first

Thanks, but maybe I was not clear: how can I force the phone to put the camera pictures to the gallery immediately?
If i remember right I had to go into the dcim folder in gallery view and back to show the tumbnails ins gallery.
Anyway, with my current firmware jm7 this behavior has gone.
Tumbnails show up instantly.

Are you using a task killer? Is it possible that you're killing something called 'media storage' or something like that?
I thought this only happened with music and videos. My pictures are added into the gallery automatically. Maybe your gallery is bugged. Try rebooting.
Edit: You could download "Rescan Media" from the market to rescan media at will. Or you could unmount then remount the storage where your media is stored.
This happens to me too; but just closing the Gallery and reopening it works for me.
Thanks for every one of you, guys! I've tried almost everything, even reboot didn't help.
But here is what solved my problem (may help somebody): I went into Menu Setting/Applications/Manage applications/Gallery and cleared its data. Since then the Gallery works fine.
I think CFLagFix 1.8 made some mix-up with the photo dates, and this caused the problem....
The firmware is: JM1/JM2
'Rescan Media' is exactly what I was looking for earlier, so I keep it anyway.
Thanks again!

vr browser update
Has anyone updated the vr browser and it still works on note 4
Before the update the vr browser would not launch and just show a black screen, like you are describing. I recently updated the vr browser and it started to work for me and function properly. Try reinstalling the oculus app and install the samsung internet browser with your vr gear on.

Notifications menu. Vids won’t play

Things used to be fine. Save video to phone. In the notification menu on top of screen after download is done. Tap one to open. It’d open and play. Not anymore. I installed an rar app and archive app. Every time I tap vids to open it would pop up a list of those apps to use. Once or always open. So I uninstalled them. Now it just opens the files app or downloads app. I never had any issue before. How do I fix this? I looked at settings for chrome and it seems ok for how to deal with media. Not sure though.
Thanks.
What file extension is the video?
Which app was launching to play the video when things were working?
In settings>>apps>>default apps is anything shown for video?
Try resetting app preferences in settings>>system>>reset app preferences
Thanks. They’re mp4. I don’t know. The default video app on the pixel 4 xl was used but I don’t know. Reset app prefs is a good first step. Didn’t think of that. Hmm.

Question [Q] Twitch app

Is anyone else having issues with the Twitch App for this tablet, at random the app will just freeze or crash. Ive already tried clearing phone cache and deleting the app and re-installing it.
Ive even tried with alternative twitch apps and they experience the same issue.
Works fine on my ultra
Haven't had that issue with Twitch or BTTV, which is the one that I prefer.
Very strange :S
