How was your experience watching movies? Any headaches or feelings of disorientation afterwards? Just curious.... I can't watch 3D movies in the theater because I get headaches from the glasses. Just wondering how it would be on this type of device....
[Samsung Gear VR] darekz:
I have excellent experience with 3d and regular movies. I never had a headache using polarized glasses in movie theather. Lcd glasses sometimes makes me uncomfortable. As gear vr goes there is no glasses so there is no ghosting. Each eye receives separate picture with refresh rate around 60 hz.
[Samsung Gear VR] JippleStar:
Once you have your headset locked in that sweet spot it looks amazing, especially when viewed with the fake theater mode (maybe because it gives the illusion of depth?). By the way, I agree with you on the theater headaches and I do not experience it with this Gear :good:

Headaches: Nope

Disorientation: Not when I'm watching a movie or mindfully walking around, but after a session of Anshar Wars I sometimes forget which way I am facing S:
[Samsung Gear VR] Playzoid:
That's good to know! Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad to hear it is a different type of experience. Now I just need to decide whether to upgrade my S4 to the Note 4 just for this ability! Or if I should wait for the Galaxy S6 and hope it is compatible as well?
[Samsung Gear VR] Deblow:
I have a 3d tv & 100" 3d projector screen used with active glasses, i don't have a problem watching 3d on ether, A couple of my friends dont like to use the glasses so we only watch 2d together,

for me, the GVR movies have less flicker than they have with active glasses so its more comfortable to watch.

they look great, no problems so far with headaches or sickness & i wil be interested to see what my friends that do have problems with my big screen 3d think about the GVR 3d movies...

I will post back once they had a go....

only thing with the GVR is the screen door effect, most noticeable on peoples faces in movies, but as screens get better so should the problem.
[Samsung Gear VR] Powerslash:
Watching this 3D demo in the Oculus CInema, especially in the Void Cinema is simply amazing. I downloaded the 1080p version and in this video i can hardly see or think about the screen door effect. Watch the video till the ending.

3D Top-to-Bottom

Anyone else have issue when trying to view 3d movie in TopBottom format? I have not been able to figure out how to convert a 3DTB to be seen side-by-side.
[Samsung Gear VR] papa10002000:
side by side video
[Samsung Gear VR] Deblow:
I think you need to add _TB to the end of the movie file!

Also said i would report back about the people i know that got sick watching 3d on my home cinema, & people with sight problems.

one of them was my mother-in-law, she needs glasses all the time but said the GVR looked great to her & she didn't feel she needed to use glasses.

my other mate has a bad eye and cant watch 3D on the TV (active),,, he also said the GVR 3D moves looked great to him & had no problems with sickness or headaches

The last mate to try uses glasses all the time also, he said the GVR was "SICK" in a good way :)

He did have problems with some of the small text!
[Samsung Gear VR] callif:
"I think you need to add _TB to the end of the movie file!"

haven't found anything that helped...only get side by side, not 3d video.
[Samsung Gear VR] Deblow:
add .3DTB or try .3DTBF

3DTBF = full-screen 3D, i.e stretched side by side

3DTB = normal SBS i.e no stretching of the picture
[Samsung Gear VR] Powerslash:
If you want to watch a 3D movie in TopBottim format in the Oculus Cinema, create a text file with the same name as the movie. In the text file write:

{

"format": "3DTB"

}

or

{

"format": "3DTBF"

}

Depending on the video format if fullscreen or not. if you want to watch a 3D 360° video in TopBottom format, put the videofile in the 360video folder and rename the movie to "moviename_TB.mp4" for over-under or "moviename_LR.mp4" for side by side 3D.

---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

So that you can watch a 3D movie in the Oculus Cinema, you have to go to Oculus -> movies -> My videos -> And then create a sub folder called 3D (not 3d). Now put your 3D movie in this newly created 3D folder and it should work when you have a side by side 3D video. If you have a Topbottom video, you have to create also a text file, as i described in my post above.
[Samsung Gear VR] Bruce lee roy:
This might work; it differs from what I've been doing. Thanks, I'll try it out when I get home.
[Samsung Gear VR] papa10002000:
Thanks for both comments.: they are extremely helpful.
[Samsung Gear VR] darekz:
The easiest way is to put them in folder: oculus/movies/trailers/3D and your movies going to be among others in trailers section of oculus cinema. I noticed that side by side dont need any aditional letters to be added to file name. Simple "namehere.mp4" works.
[Samsung Gear VR] Bruce lee roy:
Thanks for simplifying this process for me... Guess my reading comprehension leaves much to be desired... 3d movies can look spectacular in vr cinema. With one video, I even have to strain to see pixels. Now testing different settings in handrake to find best combination for optimal experience.
[Samsung Gear VR] Powerslash:
No problem, regarding video encoding Oculus recommends the following:

We recommend using 1280x720 HD resolution to encode your videos. Higher resolutions will not provide any better quality, meaning you'll waste space and processing power.

We also recommend using a higher bit rate than a typical web stream at that resolution, as the pixels in your video will be magnified on the phone's screen. The optimal bit rate is content dependent, and many videos can get by with less, but 5 Mb/s should give good quality.

While H.264 is the recommended video coding, H.265 videos can also be played.

3D movies should be encoded “full side-by-side” with a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio. Content mastered at 1920x1080 compressed side*-by-*side 3D should be resampled to 1920x540 resolution full side*-by*-side resolution.
[Samsung Gear VR] rushless:
Their rationale on video resolution is disturbingly flawed for their own product.

Though the resulting video output is close to 720p, this is in relation to the display that is showing both the video and the VR background.

A 720p video of same content as a result will not look as good as 1080p.

Ideally, the best image would be at the displays native resolution, but the screen door effect nulls some of this premise.

Whatever the case, 720p video should not be equal to 1080p.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] lebertian:
If I go to Display Settings -> Screen Mode and select "basic" all the colors show like pale or washed out (see attached screenshot). Is that normal?

Until now I had that setting on Adaptive, in which case colors look "normal". What is weird to me is that selecting "basic" makes them look so bad, I would assume that in basic mode they would look fine, without any kind of processing, but still like they would look with any other phone.

Is this normal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] dlongb13:
Basic is very accurate. Give your eyes a few hours to adjust and then adaptive will look way too intense.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] CAPTainJRacine:
As dlongb13 said, Basic is actually more true to life coloring. Adaptive is more saturated. Checkout Display mate for more info: http://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_Note4_ShootOut_1.htm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] arjun90:
One of these modes makes your display look like a crappy LCD. I think that was the Basic or AMOLED Photo Mode. I've seen this on both AT&T and T-Mobile Variants, so definitely go with Adaptive Display (unlocks the full potential of AMOLED)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] icexshinigami:
If you are used to overasaturation the basic mode may feel a bit bland but based on calibrations it is the most accurate mode and one of the few displays capable of reproducing such accurate colors.

Many manufacturers torch/oversaturate their displays to make them stand out initially aka. Sales mode.

That is the default on our phones as well it's called adaptive mode.

If that is your cup of tea feel free to use it no one is stopping you.

old lcds were striving for accurate colors their only issue was black levels.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] lebertian:
There could be a long discussion about what "accurate colors" are, but that's not the point of this thread.

Here's the thing that still bugs me: in order to see the "nice" colors (satured) we need to use the Adaptative mide (the default one). According to the article that someone posted, that mode uses some real time processing to calculate what colors to show. Does that mean that using that mode requires more battery (more processing) than the default mode? Does that mean that to get "nice colors" (the ones you would expect to see instead of the washed out ones) you need to sacrifice battery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Android300ZX:
I would imagine it uses more battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] greekunit690:
Switched to basic 3 days AGO. now it looks perfect to me and adaptive is too harsh IMHO

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsungepicgeek:
Just got my Sprint s5 recently and I wanted to root it but its on 4.4.4 already. I was looking in the rooting thread and it says to flash an old kernel with odin (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2737724&page=15) ( scroll to bottom). My question is, how do I use odin to flash it? I'm just not too familiar with Odin and I don't want to mess my phone up...

Thanks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdsingle76:
Install odin to your pc along with the kernel. Put your phone in download mode, start Odin, uncheck auto reboot, click pda, find the kernel, start it, run it, when it's done, you should see green light. Reboot, profit :) you can root from there. Good luck!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsungepicgeek:
Thanks so much man
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsungepicgeek:
I tried this but the zip file for the kernel doesn't have any mda5 file in it, so I can't put it in the pda slot. What should I do?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
Those .zip files are intended to be flashed in custom recovery. What you need are the .tar.md5 kernels. Here is a link to all the kernels. You are probably looking for this one.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdsingle76:
Send me the link to the kernel, let me check it out
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
Here are the odin flashable kernels so you can use towelroot.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsungepicgeek:
Thanks. Which one should I download the NE5 or the NK4?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdsingle76:
NK4 is the update. Towelroot won't work on it, and if you have the update, you already have that. You need to flash NE5.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
Here are the steps:

1. Download towelroot from towelroot.com and install but don't run it.

2. Odin the NE5 kernel to your phone and reboot. Your phone will run slow and you will have to close and cancel a lot of error messages because of the wrong kernel installed.

3. Run towelroot and click on make it rain. When completed reboot in to download mode.

4. Now odin the NK4 kernel and reboot.

5. Install chainfires SuperSU from the play store, run it, select normal way for the binary install, select yes when it asks to disable knox. Reboot and enjoy your rooted NK4 phone.

If you want hotspot, download Galaxy Tools from the play store and select enable native hotspot.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumwizard:
My phone is bone stock, if i use odin to flash the 4.4.2 kernel, will it trip knox?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
No, it will not trip Knox. The only way to trip Knox is if you install a custom recovery.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumwizard:
Nice thanks!

This is my first Samsung device, and im paranoid about that knox. I'll be doing this probably tonight or tomorrow.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdsingle76:
Are you sure about that man? If my memory serves me correctly, if you flash anything using Odin you trip Knox....:)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
I am 100% sure, the only way to trip knox is to install a custom recovery. That is why cf autoroot trips knox, it temporarily installs a custom recovery to gain root.

Hello, long-time lurker, first-time poster. Can anybody point me to a thread that solves the irritating "message not sent" notification that comes up every once in a while? I fixed this issue once, but forgot what I did. I've been searching through the forum, but couldn't find the answer. I've tried clearing the cache, and I know I've seen elsewhere downloading the handcent sms app, but it says it isn't compatible with this device.

I'm pretty sure my previous solution found a way to identify the specific messages that didn't send and just delete them. The annoying notification, however, just takes you to the messaging app and doesn't lead you directly to the offending mssgs. Anyone know the solution? Thanks.

Aha, text messages! I don't believe there is an outbox, but you may find that one of your messages wasn't sent. That may require some scrolling to find it... depends on how many you've sent...

A lot, which is why I'm trying to find a more efficient method than scrolling through all of them. I know there is something because I figured it out before, but I can't remember what worked.

Greetings to all of you . I really hope you can help me .

I purchased from a chorea G flex version F340L branded U + , no simlock . It has the Android version 4.2.2 . build number JDQ39B SW F340L10b . My problem is the following if you launch research updates from the device I detects a new version of the L10c , if I do the same operation with the LG PC Suite or LG support tool , I do not detect anything. Also another sore if I upgrade software directly from the device I run the drain perfectly , I validates the software but when it goes to install the update me error " Err 0x1111004 " . Researching this error is given as the smartphone is rootato . In fact it is brand new , and the message that I release the failure to update is the following " try again later " . The only way to fix it without flash upgrade from LG PC Suite if I remember correctly ( I hope you can prove me wrong ) .

I contact LG Italy , told me that I have to install LG PC Suite directly from Korean site . I did what they told me the letter and I have also installed the drivers directly from LG Korean but nothing. LG PC Suite and Lg Support Tool does not detect anything. Those of Lg they told me that I attached to the server has appeared LG Europe that does not recognize my model F340L . So my doubt is this How does instead the device to connect with the server Korean LG ? Can I change the server to which engages LG PC Suite inserting as Korean ? Can you help me?

I'm experiencing problems with Samsung Gear VR.

I have Note for version SM-910F and I had to update the firmware over Odin to the latest version compatible with Gear VR. My stock firmware wasn't.

Everything went just right in installing the applications Gear VR asked for but after finishing installation and try to start the oculus app, it leads me to the tutorial over and over. I never finish the tutorial. The last thing that i'm allowed to do is touch and press the back button at Gear VR, after that it seems that it come back just like a loop to the beggining of the tutorial again.

Please can someone help me.

Thanks in advance

There is another folder at the same place with the name: com.samsung.android.app.vrsetupwizardtub\files but is also empty.

I've looked for in internal memory and in the sd card that came with Gear VR.

I don't know what to do. I've already uninstalled and installed again but nothing has changed and after your help I realized that we did not have the same folder names.

Any other guess?
