cardboard support? - Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers

anyone know how well this phone does in VR? my z3c couldn't use it because the magnetic sensor for the button was on the wrong side.

Hi guys...
Had this working fine before and now it's screwie..
Gear VR works fine.
Google Cardboard when starting , has the inter-lense adjusted to far apart. The two images are seperated to much.
Is there a way to start from scratch (by deleting some config files?)
The left and right displayed image need to come together / closer.
Ive deleted cache/data for Cardboard and uninstalled / reinstalled
Anyone have any ideas ?

Yes thank you, it turned out to be an Xposed module that was messing witht the DPi. Still trying to nail down specific which one. .

Virtual Tour Shot Camera Mode

Anyone have any idea how to use this? When I select this mode, I get the pop up window that explains what it is and the message at the bottom to align the circle with the pointer, but the screen shows a blue dot inside the white circle no matter where I'm pointing, which orientation I'm holding the phone and there's no option to activate the camera....it's grayed out, and the settings are for the video only. I can tap on the video button, but then it just records video.
Anyone have any idea how to actually use this mode?
Follow the information on the screen. It'll tell you what to do. The dot will be your focal point and the Circle will eventually pop up. You'll need to go either left or right or straight.

The circle doesn't do anything. I have it pointing down a hall way and nothing happens. ..
once you start panning or moving forward a new circle shows up, you just match the dot to the new circle, very simple
Is it supposed to automatically just detect the "scene" and start? Are there some other settings that, when activated, disable this functionality? Do you have to activate the first shot by hitting the camera button (because if so, mine doesn't let me tap on it).

I swear I tried that! I started walking down the hallway, and there are doors visible that are open along the hallway, and NOTHING happens... :crying::crying::crying: I WANT THIS FEATURE TO WORK! LOL
Here, watch a video of me TRYING to get it to work....any ideas? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/105678/MOV_0040.mp4
Ok, after 30 mins with Samsung tech support and then booting up into Safe Mode, we determined that there's some 3rd party app that may be inhibiting the VT Shot function, because it DID work in Safe Mode. I even uninstalled the google camera app.....Although that didn't seem to be the issue.....with this in mind, and knowing that this phone is not rooted, what's the best approach to help identify which app could be the culprit here? I don't want to wholesale factory reset and slowly add one app at a time....any ideas?

SOLVED! I FIGURED OUT THE CULPRIT! On my old S4, I was using the app "Moves" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.protogeo.moves) which was a Pedometer app. But now that S Health is so integrated with the phone, I actually don't need it, so when I removed it, Virtual Tour Shot cam mode started working. Makes sense that the app would interfere with the motion sensor.....

i bet you feel soooooooo relieved. its one of the best feelings in the world to go through meticulous trial and error and finally find the problem. congrats i really know how you feel haha
For sure! Especially because this is my first Android device which I have NOT rooted (victim of circumstance, not elective), so I knew it wasn't because of some weird rooted circumventing process. On the plus side, with s health's built-in pedometer setting, there's no need for Moves anymore.

scroll capture option is missing

Hi
I have got my new note 5 few days ago and enjoying it. However, the scroll capture option is missing. I tried in different apps and websites but it is not there. Someone asked the same question and he said it was fixed by clearing catch without further info. I cleared catch and data for both air comand and screen write but it is still missing. Any help is appreciated. Ss attached

Are you using package disabler pro? You may have disabled something you needed for that to work. Try reenabling everything to see if that fixes it.

Are you at the bottom of the page when you did the screen shot?
It only works if you use the screen write option with the S Pen. A regular screenshot doesn't do the scroll capture thing.
thanks guys for trying to help. I cleared cache and data for both air command and screen write and restarted my phone and now scroll capture is there
Can you please explain me how you got your scroll capture back? I didnt understand this "air command,screen write".

Google Fit data on watch stuck at ZERO

Since I got the phone I reset it 3 times, all this while, the Google Fit app on my phone is tracking my walks and runs correctly, but on the watch it always shows zero. I suspect the ZenFit watchapp maybe hijacking the data, but enabling disabling sensor permission doesn't seem to have any effect on any of the apps. I ideally want to disable zenfit, that I could probably achieve via ADB. And I would also want to Google Fit to run only on my watch, as I don't want battery drain on the phone. Is it feasible to set up like that? Please suggest any fixes or workarounds.
Solution
I am confident that I have finally found the universal solution. I checked my Watch Fit apk version using Advanced settings app from here. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sssemil.advancedsettings
Found that wear fit apk version was much lower than what version phone had. Grabbed latest wear fit apk from here. http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ss-tracking-1-63-09-200-android-apk-download/
Connected watch via ADB and installed manually using this command
Code:
adb install -r googleFit.apk
Voila! Everything showed up on watch instantly. Even history of days I didn't have phone fit app installed.

IYO, does uninstalling apk with Advanced settings and reinstall with the sync from phone work as well?

I'm not really confident about the inbuilt apk sync. I mean how ridiculous is that the apk wasn't updated on watch even though I installed Fit on phone 2-3 days ago and had done "Resync" also. Either the sync is so pathetic by design or the Fit apk is bugged so that it doesn't get auto pushed.
If you're not comfortable with adb via wire, try ADB over Bluetooth and maybe you can do from phone also. The command will remain the same.

Bixby Vision - S Pen Problem

Hello everyone,
I'm having a stupid issue with my Bixy Vision and S pen..
Normally, it tries to analyze the screen when you click Bixby Vision and then hover the s pen around the screen..
Mine just stopped doing it.. Bixby Vision just works in camera app. I did not root my device. I did a factory reset, then it's been fixed.. After couple of hours, maybe because I've deleted something or installed something, it stopped working again.. I see the options bar at the top, and the Vision Eye where I do hover the S pen, but nothing happens..
What can be the reason?
Anybody can help?
Thanks in advance.
Bixby vision with the S Pen is not working for me either, I wonder if it has something to do with using Nova Launcher instead of the Touchwiz, are you using a different launcher?
Yeah I'm using Nova too, but it used to work on Nova.. After a while it stopped working, I don't know why..
Working here ok. Just tested Using Nova too.

What Samsung bloatware are installed in your device?
Could you please list them?
I'm not sure but I guess that happened after I did uninstall a Samsung app.. Maybe Galaxy Essentials, or something similar.. I'm not sure

In the apps settings... You can filter by disabled apps. But if you still would like screenshots... I'll post them... or rather, i cam do the Scroll Capture! Hehehe

Maybe a restart if you haven't. Also you said that a factory reset worked? Just don't disable Samsung apps if you decide to do it again. :good:

Question Unable to Split Screen

Hi All, i'm not sure which system pacakage i disable, i'm not able to use split screen. Click on "Open in split screen view" but nothing happen.
hopefuly someone can enlightening me, i do not want to reset my phone. Thanks.
If you've been disabling system packages without knowing what they do then no wonder you have issues. Maybe provide a list of packages you did disable so we can try to work out if they would affect screen split. Otherwise we are just searching in the dark.
managed to solve it through restoring some of the packages i debloated earlier by using ADB AppControl. Split view is working now.
Which package did you restored, because I have the same problem?

I thought that app was for the edge panels. I'm surprised that would break split view. Just goes to show how far reaching some apps really are. Glad you sorted it.

That actually makes some sense because depending on which edge panel you enable it will only allow split view capable apps. which is a giant PITA for me. I hate split screen and have managed to disable it so I can use my panel as more like a quick launch bar....but i can only add split view capable apps to the bar.
