[Samsung Gear VR] Vincent-iPhilo:
Thanks a lot for your explanations!

I'd like to know if the video appears in 3D with the Gear VR, and if it seems really as immersive as the other videos of the Milk app (except the fact that you can't look down). Thank you.
[Samsung Gear VR] mitchellvii:
I'm wondering why the 360 videos I've seen are so out of focus compared to standard FHD video? The Iceland and NYC flyovers are terrible and not even 720p quality.
[Samsung Gear VR] SDJB:
Which is a better set in terms of video quality, price and portability? SP360 or Ricoh M15?

Photosphere or Surround mode on our phone is not bad at all for still photos.
[Samsung Gear VR] callif:
I have not used the Ricoh model; the kodak one relies heavily on its own proprietary software to achieve its effects. If you do not use Kodak's software, all photos and videos look the same (360 dome)

I wish I had not bought it and ripped up the box

[Samsung Gear VR] twistedumbrella:
I have been looking around at different cameras and I am glad to have seen the feedback on the Kodak. That is the one I have seen advertised everywhere. It seems like many of the others are preorders by companies that didn't exist before that hardware.

http://360.tv/ (and https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/giroptic/the-worlds-first-full-hd-360-camera). It says it is 4K and costs $500. I would be interested to see the reviews, though. It also doesn't seem to be suited for an "active" lifestyle. (Not yet available)

There was also https://360fly.myshopify.com/products/360fly which claims to be geared toward mobile and has some nice environmental features, such as shock and water resistance, but at the cost of not being as high of a resolution. (Not yet available)

My favorite so far is http://www.vsnmobil.com/products/v360 with an Amazon listing at http://www.amazon.com/V-360-HD-Camera-Kit-seamless/dp/B00PSSGKRQ (In stock and shipping out)

That one has some pretty positive reviews, costs $300, and seems to have both the resolution and the environmental features. I would be interested how well it worked with the Gear VR. Ironically, it is packing a Qualcomm 800 processor. It would be pretty crazy to see the surveillance mode turned into a Gear VR app. Imagine being able to look around inside your house while sitting in a friend's living room. That'd be trippy.
[Samsung Gear VR] jcintron:
Low FOV on Vertical Angle

I went ahead and ordered the V.360 from Amazon base on the fact that it has a higher resolution. I will see.

Honestly, I don't have too high expectations for two reasons:

1. The sample I downloaded, while the resolution was higher - it was in a split screen (front and back in a top/bottom arrangement). This setup/presentation will present higher resolution as the aspect ratio is usually 1:1. However, when you go for the panoramic view required for 360 - the resolution tends to be significantly lower.

2. This one is potentially the big deal breaker; The camera vertical angle is only 60 degree. The PixPro XP360 (kodak) offers a 214 degree vertical angle and the same 360 degree horizontal the V360 offers. We'll see.

I will post my findings, and maybe a video comparison with both SP360 and V360. We obviously know the SP360 has a disadvantage in resolution, but the angle is greater. I expect the V360 will at least reverse that It will have higher resolution (maybe) but much lower FOV on the vertical axis.

stay tuned.

;)
[Samsung Gear VR] Vincent-iPhilo:
To be precise : i bought this camera and your description is incomplete.

The only way to use it with a Gear Vr or cardboard is to export the video in panoramic format, right, but you forgott to mention that : If you look straight ahead and just move in circular movements, it's a pretty cool experience. You'll see black if you look down. And if you look up you'll see black too!

For example if you take a video indoor, you won't see the ceiling. You can only watch the video with your gear VR as a 360 degree strip with big black holes down and up. It's a been desapointing, not to mention that the quality is very low...

To be honest i can't advertise this camera if the goal is only to take 360° video for VR, especially indoor videos. Maybe some other products like the giroptic cam could be better but we have to wait...
[Samsung Gear VR] mozillaopera:
If you want a FULL 360 pictures/video (but decent quality) check device - Ricoh Theta , https://theta360.com/en/gallery/

The quality of pictures is ok, if there is a good sun light, the picture will be very nice. Price is also nice - just 300€/$ (this is a second model with movies, now worldwide, but one year ago - only in Japan and price with taxes was something like 450)

My photo (G+ compression..., photos looks better from your device (PC/smart) or oficiall Theta site)

https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos?...112253762336696676097&authkey=CP6al5-jlff4wQE

Random photo for Theta

https://theta360.com/spheres/samples/5bdbf9f8-3a15-11e4-bf19-52540092ec69-1

For me, pics looks better on smarphone, than Gear VR - only 2m from center of camera is readable, others parts of photo looks blury, pixolated, etc.

And this is a second idea for 360 pictures - Android 4.4 and Google Camera

Quality will be much better than Ricoh Theta but takes more time to make a one sphere. On Ricoh, you just click the button and move ahead, but with smartphone - you need take everypart of sphere, sometimes after "rendering" you see small glitches so you need to make other one.

Do they make a nice holster case for the phone without a added case to make it work??? I like the phone naked and would like to have it on my belt for quick access

I think this Seidio holster is designed to use without a case but you should contact them to make sure before ordering.

They have 20% off through today but they're not available to contact on weekends. Amazon may have it for less too.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mokedoke:
*I'm getting this out of the way first.* I know this may be a very stupid question to some of you, but I've looked on multiple threads and posts about this topic and have gotten mixed results and answers, so I thought this would be the best site to get a definitive answer.

I just got my Nexus 6 through AT&T today and wanted to root it to get rid of the very annoying AT&T splash screen you get when you turn the phone on. I know how to root and unlock the bootloader, but when I do that will I still be able to get OTA updates from Google without any fancy flashing or things like that? I'm sticking with stock Android and I'm not installing any custom ROMs. I know on a lot of other phones you can get OTA updates when rooted, but you have to install them manually. If it's too much of a hassle I just won't root it.

Thanks in advance,

Robert (Mokedoke) :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB112:
It's better explained in other threads. But no, you can't take OTA. If you unlock only I believe you'll be fine. But as soon as you modify system files it won't work for OTA. Lollipop checks for these changes and the install will fail out.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qnc:
You won't be able to get the OTA, but you can manually flash your phone to get the latest ROM and with out loosing data. Search the forum there directions to show you how.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB112:
I don't know why it shows that, but I've heard others say the same thing. Is there no roaming allowed on Straight Talk? I wonder if that's why it shows home, as in your on the home network.

I trying to root my n7100 4.4.2.

I find a way in youtube that its easy and dont need PC or Odin.

The process consist in first flash twrp.

second, enter twrp and instal supersu.

this is the video link. (I cant post links yet due to forum rules for prevent spaming.. but just paste and remove spaces..

www . youtube . com/watch?v=fytUjmSfTgQ

Can I trust in this procedure?

If no.. what is the best, easy and secure way to root n7100 in 4.4.2?

Do I need to backup personal files first?

*I dont need to trip knox counter.. warranty is already lost.

I receive one firmware update yesterday 26/12/2014 (~100mb).. I do the update but still showing 4.4.2. May this cause any issues on rooting process?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attok:
Ok. Not work.

To flash twrp you need odin or other custom recovery pré instaled.

I downloaded Odin but coud not instal the twrp.

Used last versions of all.

Odim 3.10

twrp : openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-t03g.img.tar

It shows pass. but still old and original recovery.

*my knox counter was 0 and got to 1

Maybe its the last firmware update?

Someone has any idea?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attok:
Root done..

was simple.. just have to read the big and red warning on the root topic, that alert about the possibility of the custon recovery be overwrited by the original recovery on reboot process. Just have to uncheck autoreboot and boot manualy into recovery mode after finish.

I've used the twrp version that has n7100 in name too. Dont know if make any diference.

openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.1-n7100.img.tar

Tue, 24 Jun 2014 17:42:50 GMT

Is not the most date recent file.. but has n7100 in name and seens to be the most recent version 2.5.0.1

Anyways, for those noobs trying to root your phones like me. Avoid odin files that are less than 1mb.. its virus.. I instaled one and mess with my computer.. now i have many ads in all browsers showing stupid offers and making everything slower.

Seccond thing is be sure that the download of supersu zip file is complete. Mine was corrupted and i just realize that when in twrp.. luckly i have dowloaded a previous version too that saves me from doit all over again.

After root process supersu did not apear in my apps... but i downlload and instaled supersu in playstore and update root binary in the app. I remove knox in supersu too, to avoid anoing messages like sugested by supersu app.

Everything works.

Thanks everyone.

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] microdog:
Hello everyone,

I have my Huawei Ascend Mate 7 for two months now and I noticed a strange problem : Push notifications of certain apps not working. Only on data while screen is off. Apps like Whatsapp for exemple. If I turn on the screen on or if I press a button (even just "volume up") the notification arrives. Whatsapp is set as "authorized" in the notifications manager. The app is also checked in "protected apps". I use "Normal" mode as Energy profile. Data is set to "always on" in Network menu.

Gmail seems to work correctly on data. Everything works absolutely fine on Wi-Fi.

It seems like certain push notifications "fall aslepp" immediately after the screen has turned off and arrive if I wake the phone up by simply press a button.

Any ideas on what is going on ? It's a very annoying problem. I had an HTC One M8 before and everything worked fine...

Thanks in advance for your help. I precise that I am french, I do my best in English !

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technogeek:
Could this be because the apps are set to sleep when the screen is off (I.e. protected apps)?

Thus they fire into action as soon as the screen is on?
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simona Simmy:
Guys check in actual app or in settings / manage apps and check individual app if notifications are ticked/on ..

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your answer Simona Simmy. Apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or Telegram for exemple. Gmail works fine.

To answer your second question. I tried to factory reset the phone and install those apps in first place to make sure that there are not other apps causing problem.

Thanks for your answer. Apps are set as «*protected apps*» . Indeed, as soon as the screen is on, bam, notifications arrive !

They are ticked /on.

I made some screenshots attached to this post to show you the different settings I have.

I precise again that all these apps have completely normal behavior on Wifi. The problem only occurs on data. I didn’t have this problem on my HTC One M8, Nexus 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4.

It’s very annoying because Huawei Ascend Mate 7 is an excellent smartphone !

Check which apps u want 100% allow and the res you trust less select notify ..
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] microdog:
In fact, I tried both. "Notify" and "Allow". Beside, the system asked if I wanted to authorize the app to display messages, so I tried that but nothing has changed. I tried to return to "notify" just to see, that's why it's set like that on my screenshots.
