Thank you so much for the Netflix app info. Kept me from returning my Gear VR. One of the main reasons for buying it is to use for Netflix while lying down.
I bought the Gear VR 2017, NEW, UNOPENED for $15 dollars. I have the controller but now I want to see what you can do with it and your video has great tips. By the way I have a Galaxy S10 plus and it fits and works beautifully.
Nice video man! I had no idea about the Chromecast function. Will make things a lot easier when I'm letting my family try VR and I need to talk them through how to launch games etc
I have enjoyed my Gear VR for a few hours in the last wwwk or so of having it. However novel, the whole experience seems lacking much content. I believe this model is capable of more than is currently available if that even makes sense. My curiosity for greater more immersive experiences has me sniffing out reviews on higher stand alone and console/PC VR devices. Im sure that even in 2018, the whole experience is still in its infancy and look forward to what content becomes available on all devices. Not giving up on my Gear VR and Note 8 yet. Informative video. The Netflix tips won't be forgotten. Thanks.
Mobile VR is but a sample of what a full vr setting can do. Its recommended for people who wanna see if they even actually enjoy it in the first place before acquiring the real thing.
Another tip, worth knowing. If you push the side button when in VR, you will be able to access the phone in a virtual phone mode. Both portrait and landscape. Some things like video and apps with complicated graphics may not function. Regardless, a cool feature.
Your channel has become dis associated with my needs but I will be sticking with you because I just think your effort and clear quality of message is superb (not bad for an American. Lol.). Keep them coming chap and many thanks for all you do for the tech community. :-).
Yo, just a random coming through. Obviously you noticed the auto focusing system just going all over the place. Because you're not really moving, it would be a good idea to set the focus to manual. The focusing just threw me off the video. Thanks for the video regardless!
Sorry about that. It wasn't sure what to do when it couldn't see my face and the TV went black. I will definitely fix that for next time. Thanks for the feedback!
Hello! A long time ago, I owned a 1st model gear vr with my galaxy s6 edge. I got rid of it because it kept overheating. Does anyone know if the latest version of the gear vr has overheating problems? I have a galaxy s9. Does the headset cause battery life issues? If anyone can get back to me on this, that would be great!
It's cool, only with the Gear VR tho, because it's very comfy and lens set up is optimised so it doesn't hurt quickly. It's very enjoyable with the 3D effect and so immersive if you have a full SBS movie so you play it in 180° VR. You'll need a good VR player that will let you set up the SBS and it should be on 1440p although 1080p is still ok. I personally take a break after 1 hours to relax the eyes and focus. I don't have motion sickness if it's a movie
@@sanch2741 I have now a Rift S and it's game changing. First of all movies are not in 180° and they can be half SBS. Unfortunately today technology doesn't allow to watch Full SBS (both 1080p to each eye). You can buy Bluray in 3D but it won't make a difference in term of resolution. With Bluray you need Bigscreen or Virtual desktop to stream your screen and play bluray with Kodi or madVR / LAV Filter, or it won't be true quality. If it's 180° you need 5K video because it's an image that is stretched to your headset screens, so the quality will be 720p, idk if 8K 180° can be played currently.
Is it possible for me to play my 3D movies on my s10 with the gear v325? My 3D movies are in file format on my PC, so if it is possible would it just be a case of copying them to my phone and playing them directly from the s10? Is any specific software or media player required?
When i connect my vr gear with my Samsung s7 edge mobile ,screen turn to black screen with a "x" mark on the corner for 3 sec and then came to my phone menu, I've done everything, deleting ,uninstall and reinstalled oculus softwere on my phone ,same thing happens ,there's no dust inside usb port,please help me with this problem, oculus support centre,they aren't responding .
Excellent tips. The first one, I didn't know, lol the safety warning was driving me crazy. I tried the watch controller, was too awkward for me, but the Gear controller is great. The VR has so much great content now it's very enjoyable, though it's difficult to watch a 2 hour Netflix movie in one sitting on the VR, so I stick to the TV for that. One thing I found that helps with general comfort is to use earbuds rather than full sized headphones, it reduces the weight of the whole thing.
Morning Brett 🌅 :-). What can I say but, NEAT !!! Unfortunately, I myself don't have Gear, but enjoyed watching, as would in future. You know, that trying to keep in the loop thing LOL ! Have a Great Day 😊. JL ^_^
Can I stream using screen mirroring instead of comcast? I tried and it didn't work... is there any other way to do it so others can see what you see on the VR
I have s9plus, with mirroring of its own that is smart view built in phone itself. But it shows double image on led TV. Though your video shows single image. Plz clarify how do I get single image on TV.
@@TechWithBrett Thanks for that tip Brett. I have a quick question and a problem. My Gear VR is working really cool but for some reason every time I try to launch Netflix it says it "unexpected closed". Any thoughts on this? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but no luck. I do think that when I 1st set it up I put in the wrong password for Netflix, but I can't find a way to re-do that. Thanks in advance!
Tech With Brett Thank God for that!!! I'm still rocking a s6. I scavenged my old PS4 stand with the double fans and fastened them to an old s4 phone cover and made a cooling system. Works but looks like 💩 Lol
Gaizie yaseen. Yes, but it's better if you go to my files on your phone and open gear vr folder and create a movies folder and put your movies there, so you can watch the movies in different places like theater or on the moon theater. Gallery works too, but not as good as making a folder in the gear vr folder.
@@fidelcastillo472 where do you create the movie folder ? do I create it in the Video folder (seems senseless there) or in the Files folder or next to the files folder ? or would it work if I just put them in the default video folder ? because when I installed the app that's where they defaulted to
ruben gianoni Thanks but ideally I wanted family to be able to see and hear what I do inside of an experience, like how you can with the Vive and Rift.
Hi, how can one connect two or more Gear VR goggles to play content simultaneously, similar to the Samsung S7 launch were the audience was told to put on the Gear VR goggles to view a presentation in VR
Which phone do you have? This has been known to happen on some phones. Most likely clear all running apps first and they stay in a cool room. You can even buy a fan to attach that is suppose to help.
Clean your phones screen thoroughly, and clean the lenses on the gear vr headset. Long as those are thoroughly clean, and your adjustment is correct, that's as good as she gets.
@@tofuguru941 I guess so....well, it's not really too bad. Some of the 360 videos Samsung includes in the Gear software are pretty bad, but UA-cam vids seem to be OK.
I just got an SM-325R I am using with a Galaxy S7. When I am watching almost any content other than the home screen when I move my head the image/video is very jerky. Is this normal or is there a fix for this that you are aware of. I bought this off ebay with a 1 year square trade warranty Just wondering if this thing is damaged.
Dont have much faith I'll get an answer here since gear vr is so outdated at this point, but can someone explain how I would go about trying to watch vr videos I have downloaded from a sd card?
I used to be able to stream direct to my samsung smart TV but it doesn't work since I rooted my phone to get my Playstation 4 controller working in VR ._.
Have you tried closing down all background apps, when a phone overheats like that its usually because there is too many processes running for the battery to handle. If you're phone is quite old too it could just be that the battery is worn out and could do with replacing, there are plenty of battery apps available that can give you good info for this type of thing, come to think of it you could probably get an app to monitor your running background processes too. Alternatively there is also an official fan accessory/attachment available for the Samsung gear to assist in keeping your phone cooler. Good luck.
Hi. First video ever watched of you. And I got a question. Can you maybe look into using your Gear VR as a VR headset for pc. (You have an app called VRidge which allows SteamVR to see your Gear VR as a HTC Vive.) I'm curious how it works. Because I want VR for driving simulations. But buying a full VR headset for that is a bit to crazy for my liking. Also, another thing. I have read that a Samsung A8 2018 is also capable of Gear VR. But I have not found any video of it. While Cardboard VR works okay for me, I want to make sure Gear VR works on a A8 too so that I'm not wasting 120 euros
I use vridge with my s6 gear vr and it works like a charm. BUT you don't need gear vr for vridge. You can get some cheaper headset or a better one its up to you! Not sure about the a8 tho
@@Assassunn hello. Yes I have used Trinus in the past and I think Trinus is part of VRidge and ALVR. I would strongly recommend trying out ALVR first. Its free and even better then VRidge in some aspects and its really easy to set up.
@@hindel6141 Awesome! The thing is that with gear VR you can't use the USB transmission and the WiFi was horrible quality with Trinus. Thank you. Edit: you can use it actually, there is a redirected port below, could use a USB-C to Ethernet.
I stopped using my gear vr with my s7 edge because,the health messages tells me my gear vr is hot because of my s7edge and I have never used it for more than 10 mins at a time... so I don't really like it... I make tonnes of 360 videos with my gear 360 camera and I can't even watch my videos on my gear vr...its the edition before the note 8 edition. Because of the over heating I have uninstalled all the oculus apps . this turn off health warning will it stop the overheating message? I hate having a gear I don't use foe more than a few seconds at a time. I thought of writing to samsung.
Henry Nwokobia I have s7 edge and yes it tells me that the device is hot within 5 minutes of usage. So I upgraded to S8 a year ago and it is way cooler and haven't got a temperature warning messege whatsoever
S7 just is capable to work with vr at all,it constantly gets hot even when using it for 2 minutes. The s8 or s8 works just fine,I have a s8 plus and it never gets hot no matter how long I use it with vr.
Hello, your Samsung device should have a quick toggle to share your screen wirelessly, in One UI it is called smart view but if you have an older version it may be named differently, there should be an option somewhere in the settings too.
Removing the safety warning was the best tip. I didn't know you could that. I immediately paused the video and went and did that. Thank you immensely!
