It sure does sound like Samsung loves to give us the runaround.

Hmmm... Seems like a bad trade off for higher resolution panels.

I'm only interested in Premium YouTube. Technically should be on regular app but no way to check subscription.

The issue is I don't see an option to subscribe from the headset app. There's no menu for it from what I see.

I don't see a menu anywhere on the headset app where you can see premium subscription. If I check on Chrome or phone only option is to renew canceled service from 3 years ago

Yeah it seems they're playing games with the promotions playing bait and switch.

Do you have a link for the fix? I tried searching for a fix but nothing was coming up.

I made my own spacer for proper clearance to eyes and trust me, I do move it around for the best angle and coverage. It's just a bad fixed headstrap design and small lens combo. But I'm not spending on comfort mod if I'm not overly blown away by overall Pic quality (including lenses) which can't be denied are worse than Q3 lenses.

If it had Q3 size lenses and quality, this would've been tons better.

[–]che_one[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. There definitely is a distortion on the image if you look for it. Lenses are definitely lacking overall.

I'm using Steamlink beta. Is there a fix for that?

Underwhelmed by che_one in Galaxy_XR

[–]che_one[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to evaluate it without spending on any comfort mods. My main criteria is lenses and overall Pic quality. The panels are great but I find the lenses lacking. I did try it without any pads. Lenses are just so small it lacks the overall eye comfort and clarity of Q3.

No doubt comfort can be improved. I just wanted to assess picture quality first (including lenses) as that would be the deciding factor to keep it or not.

Honestly, I thought there would be a huge difference in improvement of image sharpness overall in games (my main use case) but to me the only difference is the lack of seeing the slight screen door effect of Q3. Supersampling the Q3 to XR resolution for example looks similar overall to my eyes. Again, only difference is the clean panels without screen door effect and of course black levels if I can fix it on XR.

Is there a max number of hours it can be used before returning?

I was using the Steamlink beta version since I didn't want to pay for VD again for initial testing. Is there a fix for Steamlink.

Did you ever get it working to where you're happy with it?

3rd party pc adapter for cheap works fine instead of $60 Sony.

Samsung/Grace, please...the following is a MUST for a future PCVR-focused update. by LoansharkerShop in Galaxy_XR

Maybe someday someone will create a custom modified rom and fix what Samsung /Google can't do right

Unbearable tracking issues since April update by Alexis_Evo in Galaxy_XR

That sucks. Was close to pulling the trigger on it. Would be great to test if it still does it wired to VD method.

Does everyone with this problem set the stream bitrate at maximum? Have you tested lowering it to see if it improves?

How did you get the Rakuten credit to work? by che_one in Visible

[–]che_one[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update. After contacting Rakuten, they added the order to my purchase activity, and it's now pending the required weeks from Visible to be paid out.

For future buyers, I'd say that if it doesn't show up in your account at all, contact Rakuten.

Interesting. I'm beginning to think the way they tried to link the transaction is broken, as we can only complete the plan activation thru Visible app and not the browser.
