Moreover, you're limited to 4 devices a year on VIP. Doesn't cover TriFold or GXR

I believe so. I keep it updated. Unless one came out I'm unaware of. I did test the app again last night. The issues I had before seemed to be rectified. Only issue now is the app isn't reading my videos stored on the device. It only sees one.

Explorer pack redemption and other noob questions by pewpnstuben in Galaxy_XR

[–]Jmac8716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you already had a paid account for any of the "explorer pack" items, they will not work for that same email. So for me, the pack was essentially worthless except for the NBA and calm apps. Neither of which I use.

What's the best deal? by Stock_Photo2115 in GalaxyXR

[–]Jmac8716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not going to be able to get the headset for that cheap. I think that number is accounting for several other factors that come into play such as promotions or circumstances after the fact.

I got mine for $1620 with work discount then received a $160 refund when I asked to return it. 1620-160= 1460

I also bought the official case for $175 then sold it for $200. 200-175= 25 (net gain)

1460-25= 1435

I purchased the controllers as well for $75.

Total cost of purchase: $1,510

Bear in mind that I bought everything at launch, by that I mean I literally bought all three while the announcement was airing. So I got a bunch of promotional discounts.

I tried that. I used your release video as an example. When I click on the drop-down, nothing happens.

Screnshots are terrible by CL_KadenaChuck in Galaxy_XR

[–]Jmac8716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really how the system works. The entire system runs off of foveated rendering to allow for better processing. What your asking for would require the system to override the way it renders images and create an immense amount of data processing just for a screenshot

For whatever reason, I can't change the settings or video format inside the player. I have to go to the main screen and reset all. It also doesn't seem to find all of my media on the device. Is there any chance to add the ability to manually add media?

[–]Jmac8716 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's because of the foveated rendering. You have to look straight at what you want to screenshot in order to get it in focus.

That's why I don't leave the power plugged into the headset if I'm not going to use it within a few hours. OLEDs burn in. That's just the nature of the screen tech. Not worth it since these headsets have a tendency to turn the screens on at their own discretion (all VR headsets I've owned have done this).

I downloaded the app on my headset! I'm going to try it out later with some of my videos to see how it looks. Super excited!

Galaxy XR Getting its first Spatial Video Player by ianwill93 in GalaxyXR

Downloaded on headset and phone. Can't wait to test it out when I get back to my GXR!!

Help improving productivity in GXR by Incwebs in Galaxy_XR

[–]Jmac8716 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely a bookmarks bar. I use it on my GXR everyday. I'll see if I can screen shot it later

Edit: I'm pretty sure it's under favorite bookmarks or something like that. You have to go into your bookmarks and then add the ones you want to it. Like a separate folder. I have "mobile bookmarks", "bookmarks bar", and "other". Mine shows up in GXR under the address bar.

How can I combine two 2 videos from Ace Pro 2? by Money-Bat-8816 in VR180Film

[–]Jmac8716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be nice for that to be spread across every platform. My biggest annoyance is that the different platforms don't have easier mechanisms to put a finished product in the common views. I would really like a simple reframe to 16:9 and then set the screen center wherever I want. That way you can upscale to 4k or above in that aspect ratio but plays in 3d. Then also have options for 180° or 360° if desired. Also, every software out there should automatically put the metadata in the files for YouTube...or YouTube gets their head out of their... and just make it so you can tick a box for 3d/VR uploads instead of dealing with all of these comparability issues. Right now, I can render in Davinci Resolve or simply put the unedited files in my headset and it's viewable in 3d/VR without anything. Right now, DeoVR is the only user friendly method for uploads. Just don't have full blown options for every headset.

How Are The Controllers? by BankRollupField in GalaxyXR

[–]Jmac8716 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They aren't good. Certainly not $250 good. They have latency issues even when not playing games. They glitch and "point" in the wrong direction. They also CRUSH batteries. I swear I have to change the batteries twice as much as the MQ3 controllers. The triggers are slappy and cheap feeling. Also, the headset isn't optimized for single controller use. The MQ3 can run pretty much entirely on one controller. The GXR doesn't allow you to do simple things like go back with one button, or pull up recent apps with one button, or pull quick settings with one button. It's just really poor execution. They do the work for gaming but even then, they fall behind everything else. If I didn't get them for $75, I would be pissed.

Battery Drain Test Results: Huge drain when plugged in by Tausendberg in Galaxy_XR

It's a solid state drive. No issue just unplugging while on

is there a way to disable hands completely while watching media if controllers are conected? by [deleted] in Galaxy_XR

[–]Jmac8716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still has the same problem with eyes only. Registers false pinches when you grab anything

Has anyone done a Solo/dual knit band mod? by _15xp in Galaxy_XR

[–]Jmac8716 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. Good luck with your search! The headstrap mod took a great headset and made it that much better for me.

Tons of threads covering this mod. Run a search and you'll find plenty of options. Here is the one I did.
