Hey guys i dont personally own the VR as its my gfs device. She doesnt root her device so doesnt know much about xda but wanted me to ask you guys the following questions. Thanks kn advance!
1. Is there any devolopment for the VR in general?
2. Is the controller for it useful.if so Whats it good for?
3. Is there any motion sensor thingys like on htc vibe
4. Is there anyway to make it not as blurry? She has s7 edge and i have a note 5. ( we know about the focus slider ontop)
5. Is there music visulation apps? I found grooVR...but not sure if thats the only thing/how to use it while laying down.
Thanks guys
1:yes
2:yes and there are a few options other than samsungs
3:not yet but being worked on 3rd party
4:sometimes blurriness comes from either fog on lenses and/or oil on phone screen or lenses if you ever touched them. Be mindful these are optics and just like telescopes and microscopes you can potentially get sleeks from cleaning them improperly.
5:dont know, i dont use music apps in vr

The controller is mostly useful for games. There are some games that require one. You can find inexpensive controllers on Amazon that work well.

Anyone know of an app that lets the gear work as a remote button to take a picture with your note camera? I believe the sony smartwatch has this feature...i think this would be a nice feature, as you can be in each picture you take and decide when the shutter goes off with a simple tap on the gear screen...
I had that on my Note-2 with Sony Watch.
I don't know of anything for Note-3 and Gear. However, the Note-3 by itself does allow for voice triggering of the camera.

I know you can trigger it by voice, but how cool would it be to see your note camera lens on the gear to see what picture you're taking...and once you're in the picture just tap on the screen to take the picture...
Agreed.
You have identified what could be a great app for the Gear.
I hope developers start releasing Apps for the Gear. It is disappointing that no new apps have shown on the Gear / Samsung Apps store.

How disappointing the thing has only been out a couple of weeks. . Come on guys give people a chance to breath. . As far as I know Samsung had bit even released the sdk yet. . After the conference and release of the sdk I imagine we will see some things. .

This device was released very quickly in order to beat the others to the punch. Therefore, it is not refined yet. Apple will release theirs when it is consumer ready and say they are the first. People will believe it too! Not a hater. Every company claims they have the best in the world.

I have a Note 3. I am hoping I can get a watch that will let me browse the web (in the highest resolution possible) using my phone's Internet connection. And possibly record video and audio without being obvious (to record police brutality if I ever find myself in such a situation).
Does such a watch exist? Does the galaxy gear do this yet or is it still not possible to browse the web on it?
Both can be done with the GG with null ROM. Browsing and discrete camera with the addition if a couple of extra apps. The browsing experience is of course horrible, trying to read on such a small screen

i would suggest you waiting 4-8 weeks when Gear 2 will came out. Let's see how Tizen android and XDA fit together. I guess we will be able to flash Android on the Gear2 too. Cause of those XDA geniousses...Then watch thos in depth review videos on youtube...i don't really know what to expect from gear 2 and tizen...
But i would bet my ass that with the Note 4 a new Galaxy Gear will arrive...i really don'T know...but it could be smart to not buy gear 2 and buy the Galaxy gear cause it became cheap...i do not want to miss my gear...
oh and for that police violence videos i just opened a thread. say that you want this feature there. So devs will see people are interested not only me.

I think for now there is no good solution yet because of too high latency for VR. But if you want to watch your own 2D/3D/360° movies you can just put them on the SD card of the Note 4 to watch in Gear VR.

It works. But it's a method of screen mirroring to your device. Apparently there are some quirks that need to be worked out to get it fully operational. It requires an additional app for head tracking. Plus you need to basically mod every pc program you want to use to support what is essentially a false HMD. I'm still working on it.

I've also noticed a lot of latency issues with a lot of apps meant for cardboard versus the gear vr apps. Basically anything meant for cardboard is "ok" as far as head tracking goes. But the gear apps are nearly perfect. (you can use cardboard apps by sliding the phone into place while holding the usb connection tilted so it doesn't quite connect) As an example, I tried Vanguard V before it was released for gear using the cardboard version. The tracking lag was irritating to say the least. But when I tried the gear version, the tracking was perfect. This makes me hesitant on how well this will work in general. Though some of them are hit or miss on tracking. A few are almost as good as the gear vr stuff. Almost. I think the Gear VR headset may have additional tracking sensors built into it. After all, it says "mouse disconnected" when you remove the handset from the headset.
I think there is gyro in headset itself. There is folder called oculus in phone storage with "gyrocalibration" file inside

My former employees gave me a galaxy vr as a going away gift on my last day. So far, I'd say this is the most fun accessory that I've gotten for my note 5. Even the free content is fantastic. I've installed package disabler to be able to run cardboard apps, but I want to know if anyone has found any fun items for this device.
there are plenty
Jurassic World, Social Alpha, Netflix to name a few. Did you just say you figured out a way to run cardboard apps on it? Please do tell!

max temp so far (on note 5) is about 106 degrees after 4 hours, thats not hot at all
I haven't ran into any overheating issues. Gets a little warm but that's it
Stumped
Tried to use the widget but GEAR VR SERVICES doesn't show up in the list. Anyone else have this problem and a solution? Gear Vr services is listed under APP manager though.

I used Package Disabler Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro
I don't have root access and it works for me to disable Gear VR Service. I don't have the VR yet, so I can't test the rest.
Good luck.
I think there is a free version of the app too.
I had one of these for my note 4 and found it to kill the battery and make the phone so hot that it often shut down after 30 mins due to heat. Tried it on my note 5 but same issues. However it was more of a problem as no SD card slot, so found the games large enough to fill up my device quickly. Note 4 was a quick swap of the memory card.
The image wasn't clear either - as mentioned above each eye separately seemed ok but blurred a little together. It feels like the lens need an adjustment to suit width of eyes also.
I found the VR interesting but gimmicky. It seems like an afterthought. But as its early days I'd have expected the consumer edition to be improved over the innovator edition...but its just not. However it is half the price!
Next version will hopefully further improve this. I can totally see a market more these but as an early adopter I soon became bored with it (and had a few headaches too as a result of the blurring!).
Don't forget to install Herobound: First Steps (free). You'll really need a controller to get the most out of it, but its the first game I played that really felt immersive.
What controller do you guys recommend?

I'm using moga hero controller and it works perfectly
I see that people have successfully altered the gear vr consumer edition to work with the Note 4. This is wonderful.
But, I'm wondering, has anyone altered the usb plug so that you plug your usb cable in from your pc to the gear vr?
Yes, it would require some Dremel work, but the benefit would be having a decent vr experience while using trinus vr and tridef 3d with all your favourite pc games.
Considering the gear vr price right now (cheap), its similar to the freefly (google cardboard vr's) that let you plug into your pc while you use it.
Has anyone tried this? I'll let you know if I give it a go. Optimally, you could either plug your phone into the gear, or your pc cable (both options).
I am interested too!
Thought about just replacing the old original plug with a new one. But I guess the oculus store app doesn't start anymore then. Is there a way to start this app manually?
I agree this thread is awesome and it is something that will make some xda dev famous. I molded a consumer gear vr to fit the note 4 and it has been great. I want to play oculus dk games and apps as well as other pc games. If there were 2 things I really want to further the gear mods and make it awesome it is this mod and a way to make all android games vr I really want to play dead trigger 2 in VR unfortunately I have an att note 4 sm-n910a running 5.1.1 so no root so I can't use the new sbs android
Not tried tints yet but doesn't it work over wifi

Which att note? SGH-i717 (quincyatt)?
use package disabler pro to disable the samsung gear vr service. this will prevent the occulus app from launching. if you enabled dev mode on the vr before you disable the gear vr service you will be able to use it with low persistence. all of this can be done without root. tested it on my s7 with trinusvr trial
If you have a consumer vr can it be done the same way.

Sorry note 4 sm-n910a 5.1.1
I do have dev mode and the disabler app, didn't think to go dev mode first or use the low latency. My question is, is that enough? Enough to warrent not mod ding the usb from a charger to a full blown vr input? Is it that good or even good enough? I honestly think this mod would be a god send and whoever mods it considered a god. I heard they brought up doing it to oculus and it was denied. They didn't want mobile at a value to compete with a pc platform that would go for your wallet. On the other spectrum I also wouldn't mind being able to even simply use it as intended to charge my note 4 while playing vr. That would be nice too:good:
Oh yea one more thing is Intugame woth trying or should I just stick with trinus?

Yes, but way too buggy at the moment. Try Stream Theater for Steam (and non steam) games, works via Moonlight.
