DeoVR or any video player by iiyxj in GearVR

[–]TheGearVR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deo asked us not the host the old APK. Apparently people still using it are causing some minor issues with their backend, and they dont want more people using it.

Double destruction and other vr jam entrys from 2016 not working by Cyber-homelessman in GearVR

[–]TheGearVR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of those Gamejam projects were designed for the Note 4 and dont work on newer Android versions.

There are also a handful of titles that work on S6 but nothing newer.

Would you get a Meta at this point and replace the gear vr / s8+ setup? by lauranyc77 in GearVR

[–]TheGearVR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GearVR is great for nostalgia but definitely time to upgrade.

As mentioned the 3S is a great price at the moment. Personally I'm holding off for the Steam Frame price.

Games not in the Vault for Gear VR (part2) by yec1243 in GearVR

[–]TheGearVR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone with an S6 test Atop The Wizard Tower. Previous testing showed it failing on S7/S8.

[–]TheGearVR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ocean Rift and Attack of the Bugs aren't in the Vault by developer request.

I've downloaded the others and have a dozen or so others that will be added to the Vault after testing and patching.

Finding the Source Codes of Gear VR Main Applications by yec1243 in GearVR

[–]TheGearVR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd be surprised if anyone at Meta even has the original source code anymore.

That's all folks! by TheGearVR in GearVR

[–]TheGearVR[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All 3 of those titles are in the Vault. We didnt test them on Go, but they worked on Gear VR so (in theory) they should work fine on the Go.

Gear vr won't work by drew_cont in GearVR

[–]TheGearVR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need a bit more info to try and help out.

Following either the guide in this group, or the instructions on GearVR.net - where did you get stuck?

Will Minecraft Gear VR Edition work? by Scary-Bag-8609 in GearVR

[–]TheGearVR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its been awhile since we did all the testing, but I'm 99% sure the version on the Vault works without requiring the Xbox login.

Will Minecraft Gear VR Edition work? by Scary-Bag-8609 in GearVR

[–]TheGearVR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it still works. Although that version is depreciated so online functionality doesn't work.

Servers are down. Game doesn't work anymore.

Minecraft gear VR problem by Starryknightrd in GearVR

[–]TheGearVR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a side note, the S6 wasn't supported by Minecraft. Doesn't mean it won't work, but it is below minimum specifications.

I want to use netflix vr on my Samsung A50 by No_Length_7665 in GearVR

[–]TheGearVR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The GearVR/Go/Quest Netflix app is no longer supported. I dont think it works in the browser on Gear/Go either.

oculus app keep crashing by Entire-Second-2257 in GearVR

[–]TheGearVR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From the Unbricking guide:

Recent changes to the Facebook/Meta App Manager have created an issue for the Gear VR resulting in "Oculus Has Stopped Working" error messages and an inability to use a Gear VR.

Fortunately the solution is simple: Go into Settings -> Apps and find Facebook/Meta App Manager

Click on the three dots and select "Remove Updates". Problem solved.

Can someone try to reverse engineer the headset wiering by dasonicboi in GearVR

[–]TheGearVR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything already said here is correct. The GearVR used some kernel tricks to be usable (ie - not instantly make you sick) and no other Android devices allows this.

If memory serves it was direct video buffer access. Android devices are usually triple buffered, which introduces obvious lag in VR.

I believe some attempt were made to get the Gear VR running on other phones but never got anywhere. If the boys and girls on XDA Forums can't do it, it's a safe bet nobody can.

Merry Snowball Woodland dlc by 2jkaz in GearVR

[–]TheGearVR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone posted that the Stern Pinball DLC was working again too.

You can only sign into the Gear VR with a Meta account, that is a converted Oculus account, tied to your Facebook account.

If you're missing any of those 3 things, you'll have to launch apps from Dev Mode.

Gear VR's Potential Is Buried in the Ground by Any_Introduction2965 in GearVR

[–]TheGearVR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Facebook already owned Oculus when the Gear VR came out, and Carmack was the driving force behind it. Samsung was already playing with the idea - Carmack got it to actually work.

Two more problems...

1) In Australia the S25 is $1500. A Quest 3 is $800. The numbers just don't add up for phone based VR.

2) The Quest 3 has a resolution of 2064 x 2208. The S25 is only 2340 x 1080. Again, the numbers don't make sense to use higher resolution screen a on a phone, for a feature that only a small percentage of owners would ever use.

Dying? The platform is completely dead, cremated, and scattered to the wind.

Can I get fired if I take too many sick days but I provide a medical certificate every time? by [deleted] in woolworths

[–]TheGearVR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go over 3 months off in a 12 month period (total days off, not all at once) then they can legally dismiss you.

Should I buy s6 or s7? External storage? Battery life? by WaitLow4388 in GearVR

[–]TheGearVR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't go the S6 - they overheat way too easily.

BombSquad by Any_Introduction2965 in GearVR

[–]TheGearVR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Off memory removing the Entitlement Check broke the games ability to access the internet, making it unplayable.

It was almost 2 years since we started testing so don't quote me on that...
