Samsung Gear VR - All you need to know

[StrontiumDog]

Are you installing MilkVR from inside the oculus app?

Yes there are many cool videos inside several of the apps, including milk.

yes, I did so 2 days ago using the US based VPN you metnioned but I don't see any sign of MilkVR any longer.

I can try installing it again.

Also, when one copies videos to the \MilkVR folder can they be in subfolders within the \MilkVR folder?

strange.

Busy doing an update on mine now to see if it vanishes or not.

Nope, still there after update.

Open Oculus without the vr.

Is it there?

The quick 3 minutes play per game review.

Games:
Anshar Wow, this I will be spending hours with.
Darknet Looks fun, puzzle game, needs more attention.
Drift Only watched the intro.
Herobound Needs Remote, If you don't have one, Uninstall till you get one.
Keeptalking Needs people, Great concept and family fun type game

Apps:
Starchart, a star chart, you can zoom in on planets, float around space and all those things star charts do

Play Store or from the Oculus app?

Still there , just not when i put on the Gear VR.

Seems to be a common issue, maybe a solution here: https://forums.oculus.com/community/discussion/19746/milk-vr-missing

So let's say I'm downloading Jurrasic World, do I have to keep my phone connected to the Gear VR in order for it to complete? Or can I eject the phone and it will download in the background? Will it continue downloading if I exit to Oculus Home?

It will carry on downloading.

You can also download without attaching the vr just open oculus and check in there.

Thanks, MilkVR is in my Library. Jurassic World even continued downloading after a reboot. I got that sound issue where sound cuts out randomly on my phone

Only sound issue I get is my alarm not behaving.

What's a good anti-misting spray? Damn lenses keep fogging up with condensation forming!

Warm the lenses up with a hairdryer for a minute or so before use.

So does the content look grainy (360 degree photos in Oculus trips around the world etc...) because it's not high enough res or is a limitation of our S7 devices and being so close to our eyes?

I can't seem to find the jurassic world app, nor the starchart one. There's no search feature on the app store. Meh.

Found installing apps easier when you open the oculus app without the vr

Has a search feature then

My ADSL line and accounts are not too reliable these days, have yet to be able to download Jurassic World, keeps failing after many hours. Also find I can't initiate any downloads without have the Gear VR on
