Samsung VR Internet freezing - Samsung Gear VR

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone can help me out as i can't find similar problems.
On my Edge + 928I, the Samsung internet app in VR freezes when the keyboard button is clicked. I get the screen with the voice recognition symbol, and from there nothing, cant quit, cant type, cant select other tabs.
I have to exit to Oculus home when this happens (which works fine).
My phone is rooted but i cant see why that would be causing an issue.
Any ideas?

I'm facing this problem when selecting the URL bar.
The voice screen pops up but its not registering any sound and the whole app freezes.
The Google app does work on my s7 edge without gear vr.
I removed the Google app, reinstalled it, configured it but nothing seems to fix it.

[APP] YOUTUBE app not working

I can not view Youtube from the YouTube App .
I tried it with WIFI and GPRs/EDGE , I always get the NO VIDEOS reply.
What was the trick you guys made for viewing this.
I can goto Youtube Page from OPERA though.....
I used to get this problem until one time I decided to just leave the youtube app running in the background and after a time it just started working.
I just noticed mine isn't working. I installed the *.cab file that removed the globe from the Internet tab. Can someone go into that tab, select "All Bookmarks", and go to its properties. Let me know what URL and what not is set there as default.
Yes...screen prints are welcome!
Any more ideas ?????
My YOUTUBE app always show a NO VIDEOS sign ((((
Same here, I see most viewed etc. but when I want to view anything, it loads and then it says can't play video, I flashed a dozen ROM's hasn't worked on neither.
It works after a hard reset, then stops shortly after. I have not worked this out yet.
Can someone extract the YouTube app out of the original ROM, and post? I didn't realize the "Remove Globe" *.cab would kill YouTube for me. Honestly miss it...it helps me kill time in board meetings

I did what you said, before I used to get NO VIDEO sign, now I get a "Can't Connect TO YOUTUBE" sign which may mean something. Because You Tube has recently been banned here for some time due to loosing a court case against some guy.
Can't connect is always better than no videos in my case. I'm hoping to view Youtube when it's re opened here.

Jim You are officially a genius. This has fixed it.
YouTube was working but now it isn't. I always get "no videos" message and i've left it in the background for around 20mins with no luck!
I have 2 videos in the history list ans they work. But I can no longer search and access new videos.
what's going on here?
This also happened to me. Additionally, QuickGPS wouldn't connect to download any updates (this was over WiFi connection since I don't use a Data one).
I got a solution from another thread which was to open IE (Internet Explorer) and navigate to HTC's Website. Once that's loaded, open up the YouTube Player, that's it.
Just a note for those on T-mob, I was getting this but as soon as I turned off the proxy it started working immediately
I think I might have a workable solution for you guys.
This workaround only works with WIFI
Coomunication manager > Settings > WirelessLan > Menu > Wi-Fi > Network Adapters > IEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi adapter > Name Servers > DNS
Write down the DNS address ( if you have any ) for any future needs.
Then replace DNS with 208.67.220.220
That's it, now everytime I'm connected to WIFI I can easily watch Youtube APP .
Try it

hmm find that really strange...
My youtube app is working fine....
I really think it thas something to do with the custom rom's.
I just have the original rom on my device...maybe that's the whole problam?
So maybe there has to come a fix 4 all you guys with the custom rom's?

Thanks everyone for posting their solutions.
I have tried the above and it works first time without problems!
There definitely seems to be an issue that needs a fix but for now this is a temporary fix that works and saves you from adjusting network settings.
Strange but true...
Hi!
I had the same problem after updating to german official O2-Rom 1.93. I tried GroinsNZ solution and it worked. Doesn't matter wich connection u use.
I've found out that you only have to start InternetExplorer in background once and then start youtube. It doesn't matter wich page you load in IE.
I tried google.de and this also did the job. After that, also after softreset, it still worked without starting InternetExplorer again. Thanks GroinsNZ!
Greetings, lordcoffee
Thank you all for your help. Really appreciate it. I will try and see how it goes.
Chink
Opeing IE and then YouTube also worked for me. Thanks HEAPS!
Hi,
Just had same problem after hard resetting my HTC pro.
And all of sudeen you tube started to work again, here is how:
1. Switched on WirelessLan, switched off DataConnection.
2. Started Microsoft Internet Explorer and started to browse web
3. Switched off WirelessLan, opened Internet Explorer browsing web, so my data connection was restarted
4. Closed Internet Explorer, opened YouTube app.... and..... abracadabra... everythink works fine!
Dont have a clue why it helped, not a single good reason comes to my mind, but hey, it works fine with T-mobile now.

"Sprint Experience" Apps.....take 2

Not sure why my original thread was taken down but if it was because of "warez" it's crap. Go take down every other rom (including the sprint hero dump) that's "illegally" distributing apps and EVERY single windows mobile rom.
heres the goods:
Mod Edit: Links removed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4746727&postcount=110
Btw if any mod feels the need to pull this thread again please pm a reason to why it was pulled.
DO NOT PM ME ASKING FOR THESE APPS
search around for them!!!
i believe it WAS taken down because you've kept the original provider in the app names. i'm not a mod or whoever took it down so i dont know but thatd be my best guess. i remember seeing in the previous thread, i could quote someone saying "it's just a matter of time but good job till then!" or something along those lines. good job indeed! and so glad this is back up.
with that said i have an issue with the navigator:
i have it said on full audio, but theres no TURN voices. JUST STREET names. its really accurate on the street names. and the directions are perfect. but is is just me, or is the audio missing turn direction voices????
Hey, can anyone please tell me how to remove some of the apps from here, for example the sprint TV does not work at all and I don't want to see it in my apps how to I remove it?
Also, how do you guys got past the validation thing in the NFL app?

Anything special you have to do to get the tv app to work or is there something temporarily wrong with the connection right now? thanks
Sprint TV does work...
Its has been my experience (1 whole day) that the sprint tv stops working when you take the widget off the main home page. as long as I keep the widget on the main page, my tv has been working.
try that. might take a reset, erase widget and replace, and another reset, but it worked everytime the tv stopped working. ever since I left the widget on the main home screen it has been working fine.

Tried this a couple times to no avail. keep getting "channel listing is currently unavailable. Please try again later."
edit: saw the other thread on this. moving over there.
for me what i did was simply download, install, put widget on screen, reboot, works. but use the widget to get to the app. meaning click on the widget and it should take you to the tv app. if it still doesnt work, too bad. seems to be working at different times for people, and since tmobile networks sucks sometimes, could be that. idk lol!
so should i download tv widget .apk or tv apk or both ????? just want to do it right the first time...lol

sounds like both since it seems you need the widget.
TV works. Like everyone else said put the widget on your screen. Even after I did that it took a day for the TV to start working so be patient it's worth it.
Ok just installed both apks .. put the widget on my screen so now i just wait ??? the widget did say something about hanna montana..lol but wont load any channels yet ....

To be honest once I got home I forgot all bout it. I just tried it this morning and it worked.
has anyone tried out the navigation app yet? I always get a message saying no gps data found.
I've been able to get the TV, NFL and GPS apps tow work. Just took some patience and rebooting, otherwise works great!
cm 4.0.4
NFL, NASCAR and TV are working great. Has anyone figured out how to get the navigator working? It doesn't seem to work when I am still, but if I am driving it will give me turn by turn very nicely, recalculate routes quickly and everything, but only while driving.
Anyone else having this problem?

Google Maps icon disapears with 7.0 update

Hello all !
I had the "Maps" icon in the bottom dock bar. Yesterday, there is the V7.0 update of Google Maps. After the update (via Play, not apk), the icon is gone in the bottom bar, and is neither in the application roaster. Sense seems to beleive that the icon is still in the dock (and so it don't appears in the roaster), but it is not.
But the application IS in the phone : I can see it in android application list, and I can invoke it by a search "Maps" in phone in Google Now.. (not very handy, but this works), and it works perfectly.
Anyone has this problem too ? How can I manage it ?
Thanks for your support
Note : I'm with stock 4.1.1 sense/android (4.2.2 not available yet in France..). Not rooted.

This works !! The icon is back in roaster, and I can put it back in dock bar. Thanks a lot, I should have guessed this myself.
But I have one last weird thing : when I select an address in the contact list, Maps used to launch (or appears as a proposed application) to show the address in a map. Since 7.0 (even after restart), Maps don't shows in applications proposed to show the address (I have Navigon etc.. but not Maps..). Is this normal ?
The restarting doesn't seem to help for me. Any other way to get the icon back?

I did. It may be that restarting will not work for me because i changed the box in which the icon resided since I didn't notice at first :\.
Restarting worked for me. It pops back up at the end of the app drawer. Weird. My buddy with a Note 2 didn't have this problem, so maybe a Sense bug?
Maybe try uninstalling (updates) and then letting it update again?

Samsung Internet Voice Rec/Keyboard Input Problems

I downloaded the Samsung internet app for the Samsung gear VR for the first time today, and I noticed that everything works fine on the app, but as soon as I hit the search bar to type in an input, it comes up with the usual pop up window saying "listening". I try and speak and it doesn't pick up anything, just stays on listening. If I try and go on the keyboard input, I can hover over the keyboard icon by looking at it and it shines blue, but I can't actually click on it, so the keyboard input menu doesnt come up. I can't click on anything at all and I can't get rid of the window. I have to go back to the oculus main menu and load up the app again to reset it. Any ideas why this is?

Question Smartthings mute phone calls

Hi
I use smartthings on my s21+ regularly. I have a Samsung tv and soundbar on the app. A popup from smartthings showed up asking if I wanted to mute tv etc when a phone call is being received or made. I said yes and there was an option for the tv and soundbar. I clicked on both and by mistake deselected the soundbar. I want to change the option so the tv and soundbar mutes, as they play together via samsung symphony. Where can I find the setting for that? I have checked in the app and no help under settings. I uninstalled the app and re-installed, with the hope that it would forget my option, but it still just gives option to mute for tv when a call comes in or being made....
I personally don't have those devices so it would be hard to make guesses on how to do it. I would suggest calling Samsung and getting their advise.
Go to smart things, long press into App info and try to clear default from there.
