Believe me, I had a good one for $45, and it's not worth it, it's very limited, has a nausea inducing delay, bad resolution, bad optics, no good content except movies. Please save money and buy an Oculus Quest 2 for $299 or cheaper if used, it's unarguably on another level.
you can also go for a cheap 10$ one if you insist on using your phone for vr purposes as they all offer roughly the same experience at least thats my opinion on it
I agree with Kryptuz.
Your best bet is to purchase an Oculus quest 2.
The thing about using phones for your VR display... Over time phone screens get scratches in them no matter how tiny or big just from being in your pocket or whatever. A tiny scratch on the screen that isn't noticeable normally, will be very noticeable, frustrating or just plain tacky
once your viewing the screen through magnifying VR lenses. Nothing can touch the quest 2 screen so it's 100% safe from blemishes or scratches.
Not to mention, your phone is bloated with Google play store, search, services, framework, ect. That run in the background constantly. Diminishing it's VR potential.
Quest 2 does not have any potential diminishing background services. So the device is 100% focused on strictly VR. PLUS most phone VR sets only come with a single cheap Bluetooth remote. The quest 2 comes with dual position/motion/pressure sensitive controllers. The difference between physically reaching out and grabbing something Or pressing a button on a dinky lil thing.
Also worth mentioning the quest2 has something called the GUARDIAN. Which allows you to set the outline of your safe play zone. And the Oculus will make sure you stay within your designated SafeZone so you don't wonder into traffic or run into a wall.
If you just want to play media locally (movies, ect). Store media on phone, install DLNA from app store on phone. In DLNA app set the directory of the media. From the headset, install Pigasus. As long as both devices are on the same wifi, Pigasus will read media being broadcasted via DLNA from your phone.
Just trust me.... The quest2 is a much better option.

As you know, since last week Youtube makes it easier to upload and view 3D videos. More info:
http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2009/07/now-in-3d-join-experiment-with-us.html
"3D video/photo shooting app for Android. By using 2 Android devices the app should sync them by Bluetooth, so they can start, stop, pause simultaneously. After shooting the video this app should combine as red/green and share via Youtube/Picasa."
That isn't practical since you would need two devices.
I am sure that soon we will see phones with 2 cameras on the back that would be able to shoot directly in 3D, but until then I can't think of a more practical way for videos. Android should be the best environment for this.
For photos you are right, it is possible to do it with just a single camera.
nice idea, but highliy impracticle. 3D video shooting has been around for decades and it's still just a WOW-factro technology. Even with all the TVs that are going to be released with 3D capabilities, you still need to wear those goofy glasses in order to see things right.
Just because YouTube is catering to 3D video technology does not mean that we will see cellhpones with two cameras on them.
with this out
3d cameras on cell phones shouldn't be too far..

You don't need any kind of "special TV" to watch 3D images. The "goofy" glasses are available and are cheap enough (1.5-15$) to have them near your LCD TV or Monitor.
The world is moving much faster to the 3D technology. A recent example is Ice Age 3.
Back in year 2000, when I installed probably the first complete CarPC in Europe ( http://www.carstereo.com/installs/photo_gallery_album.cfm?home=yes&photoid=18833&galleryid=609 ) I heard very similar opinions that "it is not practical", and etc. Now it is something normal, available and you don't have to DIY.
When the TV came out, people called it "impractical" and a waste of time and that no one would sit on a chair to bother watching it.
When the PC came out, it was also called impractical and that nobody would want to use it.
When the G1 came out, I looked at it and thought to myself "damn that is one ugly phone, no one would ever want to use that." And my friends agreed with me.
Look at where we are now
The world’s first 3D laptops hit shelves Sunday, and with a price of $2,648 each, it remains to be seen whether they are really worth shelling out that kind of cash. Samsung is behind the new 3D laptop with Compatible Parts . It is a version of the company’s Series 7 gaming laptop, which has been updated to include a “SuperBright” 1920×1080 3D LED display.
The popular tech blog reported the high-priced laptop on Monday, but added a very important caveat, which is the fact that a spokesman for Samsung has said that there are no plans to release a 3D laptop in the United States. So far it is only available in Asia.
The computer, which sports a bold bright yellow cover, has a Blu-ray drive to allow for 3D movie watching, and is all driven by an AMD Radeon HD 7870M graphics card that Samsung says is made for gaming, a 128GB solid-state drive and 1-terabyte hard disk, Laptop Keyboard , CNET reported.
The 3D laptop also features Intel Core i7-3610QM CPU, and has three three-core processors and other Compatible Parts .
Three-dimensional technology has been increasing in popularity in recent years, especially after “Avatar” became one of the most-successful films in history by taking advantage of 3D’s ability to make a visually impressive movie even more fascinating.
I wouldn't pay it. 3D is a stupid gimmick.
I'd buy it to lord over all the Mac ninnies.
"What's that say? Oh, I'm sorry, I can't see what's happening on your computer because I'm in... the THIRD dimension."

Here, we smoke while we shoot the bird.
I didn't like 3d in the early 80s, and I like it even less now.

hmm so you mean whenever i watch this on my old laptop:
it will look like this on that one:
seems legit
Hi Friends,
Not a stranger to CL at all, have scored many-a-deals there, am aware of the necessary pre-cautions that come with CL and testing and buying a phone from there. But, for the first time I am thinking of picking up my first flat-screen TV from CL.
Before everyone throws in the red flags at once ! LOL! The guy, so far, from texts and etc sounds like a well versed professional in healthcare, much like myself. He is moving, and is not taking his TV with him, which he received in September as a birthday present. He's very responsive, organized, in that he set a specific time for meeting at his house to examine the TV. Much like myself, his terms are fair and upfront. He's talked about the minor aesthetic damage on the TV, and wants cash... He's even gone on to say that he prefers selling his items to people who are friendly and upfront on CL. All of these things actually are things that I do/have done while selling on CL myself. So, that's a bit about the seller.
Where I need your help is on... how to MAKE SURE and TEST and LED TV, since I know next to nothing about them, owning them, and etc?
Sample steps phone for a phone might look like this:
1. Turn on wifi, bluetooth, data, and GPS to make sure they work
2. Make a call
3. Turn on the speaker
4. Launch the camera
5. Take a picture, make a video
6. Play it back to hear the audio
7. Check the SD Card
and so on...
What would be the steps I need to follow when buying a used LED TV?
In case you are wondering the TV is: Sony Bravia KDL60EX723
Thank you for your help!
1. Turn on TV
2. Test audio and video
3. Test HDMI
4. Make sure there aren't any dead pixels
5. Test all the ports to make sure they're functional.
6. Ummm... Test the remote?

Check connections like AV and HDMI.
Check if screen has any defects like high or low colour saturation.
Ask for a bill or receipt too
Make sure there is no screen leaks
Before you buy it look at this from the same guy on CL. I think he is pulling something over on you.

OK, my problem is the cardio machines I use (I have arthritic knees so running is mostly out of the question) don't have heart rate monitor sensors in convenient places, or the sensors don't work. So I'm looking for a non-expensive solution (I'm ok with going up to around $100 or a little higher, if the reviews on the item are good), either stand-alone or bluetooth so I can use an app on my phone to alert me when I go out of my target zone.
If it's a watch, I would prefer just a watch, no watch+chest strap deals or anything like that. But whatever it turns out to be, I would prefer just a single item, since I'll already have my phone with me and I don't want to look like a walking Radio Shack.
Also, I'm looking for something that can constantly monitor my heart rate. I have a relatively cheap HR monitor watch that I have to first hold in the Mode button, then put my thumb and pointer finger over the heart rate sensors on the front of the watch, and doing that while I'm on the elliptical is a pain in the ass...and dangerous if I lose my balance.
So, any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

I'm not really looking for one now, but if there is a no frills HR monitor watch that comes with a lifetime warranty then i might grab it.
There is a Polar chest strap that can connect to an android device via bluetooth. I tried to post a link to it, but I'm not allowed to yet (I'm still a "newbie"). Just google "Polar WearLink Transmitter with Bluetooth."
Thanks guys, I'll check out the Polar option I think. The reviews are pretty good, and it sounds like it works with a couple different Android apps I already own, so that should work.

Let us know how it works out. I'd be interested in getting one myself.
Hi all
I'm fairly new to XDA and this is my first post so go easy on me plz So i preordered the note9 and ever since i've had it i've had nothing but issues with the device. First, it was the camera unit buzzing and struggling to focus. I took it in to my nearest Samsung store and well... the overall ordeal was unpleasant. I was in and out of the Samsung store 4-5 times in a month and it took 10 days for them to come to a resolution, but thats not the point. After i had the phone repaired, 2 days later my S-Pen broke. I was taking it out and only the clicker part of the pen came out. Instead of taking it up with Samsung and wanting to avoid having to leave my phone at Samsung again for 'inspection' i decided to fork out the dough and purchase a replacement S-Pen. Now, my phone is exhibiting signs of either burn in or display uniformity. It is extremely visible, when displaying dark images and considering i use 'night mode' indefinitely its really hard to avoid. I even notice it in the Game launcher, notifications tab, settings menu, even in games and apps such as spotify or Youtube.
It really sucks having paid $1500AUD :crying: for a phone that severely lacks quality. I just wanted to know what your experience with the Note9 has been and if you're experiencing the same issues as me. What course of action should i take? I really want to demand a refund.

The only issue I have had so far is in relation to video calling. I'm not sure about the built in video calling, but when using FB Messenger or Google Duo, it is extremely poor quality, and eventually drops the call, disconnects data from the network and refuses to reconnect it for at least 15 minutes. Verizon can send diagnostics to the device and they say it still has a "background" data connection, but that doesn't really help me much. This has been occurring as long as I've had it. Even after flashing multiple OEM's, resetting things, etc. Only thing to do is have it replaced, but since the back has scratches now, it has to be through insurance. Other then that, there have been no problems.
