[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Blackiisky:
I've used cardboard and liked it, didn't really notice any issues with it, just wanted something more comfortable like you mentioned. So i got the gear vr when it came out. i wanted to check out some cardboard apps but now with the comfort of the gear vr. There's this trick where you would disable the gear vr service so when you plug it into the gear vr it doesn't launch the gear vr software. what i found was that it was a lot more jittery and less smooth than an app running with the gear vr software even when strapped to my head. Someone can correct if im wrong but i was sure the gear vr itself has sensors to help make it a much more smooth experience.

As for some information regarding using the Gear VR (im trying to think of things i would have like to known before hand), for example, with screen so close to your face and looking through lenses you never get a crisp looking image. It's always a bit pixelated . you can really see the diamond shapes that make up our screen. This being said its not usually a problem when you're really focused on the entertainment in front of you. When playing a demanding , usually cool and fun, game for maybe over 30 minutes or so the device will warn you that its overheating and will reduce performance to allow it to cool a bit. you will notice the reduce performance, noticeably the frame rate drops. The lenses do fog up on some occasions. Its a little annoying when you have them comfortably on your head and then find you need to wipe the lenses or in a lot of my cases the phone screen itself (smudges, dust, and other debris will annoy you)

i can't think of any other negatives at the moment but of course its not all bad i do enjoy watching short movies and clips on it. i hope they make it so you can navigate and use other functions of your phone while having it on (its cool that it shows notifications while you have it on, it will be even better if you can bring up other apps while using the gear vr and use them such as sms or email etc.)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rm40f2:
Thanks everyone!

I was disappointed that nearest Best Buy that stocks the Gear VR and has a demo unit is 2 hours away, so I guess I'll have to make this purchase based exclusively on your recommendations. :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] deathshead:
There is simply no comparison to between Oculus tech and Cardboard..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Brandon011795:
I actually strongly considered getting the Gear VR, but decided I wanted to wait for improvements. After reading everyone's posts, it seems like the Note 4 is doing most of the work anyways, so there shouldn't be too many changes to the Gear itself in later releases, right? (If they even come out with newer versions anyways) Other than the fact that down the line they will need to make them for the newer phones.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Snakehn:
i've been very hesitant about these, it seems like a really cool toy, but at the end of the day that's all it is, a toy. i've gone as far as adding it to the kart but then i think of many other things i can do with $200 Lol

i think if they were available at my local Best Buy, i'd probably bought them by now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Bijiont:
This is pretty much where I am at as well. Not so much the $200 but what am I really getting for that $200. If this headset will only work for the Note 4 and have no future beyond that you are investing into old tech which will be outdated when the new models come out.

If someone could confirm this VR headset would be supported or compatible going forward (Note 5) I would purchase one in a heartbeat. Problem is I don't think anyone can confirm this until the new models are out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bbeelzebub:
I do a lot of things online to get free gift certificates and cash (market studies, testing products, etc.).

I'm going to be doing one that tests shampoo for a few weeks for 200 bucks. I think I'll get the Gear VR with the loot I make. This way I'm technically not really buying it. I'm quite curious. I'm hoping when it's out of being a "beta type product" that it will still work, and they add support for future models or something.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Buddy Revell:
Gear VR is the most fun accessory/app I've gotten for any of my phones in years. Definitely sealed the deal when it came to me wavering whether to keep my Note 4 or switch over to a Nexus 6. $200 isn't that much imo. All I had to do was skip a couple of trips to my gf's favorite sushi spot this month lol.

[General Questions and Answers] AstroQueoRoot:
Hello fellow members and users of the XDA website and forums, well anyways, not all of us have the luxury of affording the top-notch or even the close to high quality devices. With that being said, there is a small issue for those of us who can't afford these top notch devices. We are pretty much UNABLE to root our devices and get the most out of them. So, for those of you out there whom understand the situation and the ordeal we have to endure on a regular basis, being unable to find the full potential of our devices, here are some questions I hope that we could have answered. (I hope this is in the right section, if not, my sincere apologies)

1) How do you root an iRULU tablet/android WITHOUT a computer?

2) How do you root an ASTRO QUEO tablet/android WITHOUT a computer?

Needless to say, I don't exactly have computer access, and the only computer access I will have anytime soon will be using a LIBRARY computer, so with that in mind, it is nearly impossible for me to download (let alone install) any programs that aren't already part of the system.

So my question is simply... are there any APPS/APKS that allow me to root these two devices WITHOUT a computer? I have already tried FRAMAROOT & ANDROOT, but it seems these two are unusable with my devices. Can you please provide me with a solution, that DOESN'T require a computer? :confused:
[General Topics] lvnatic:
I'm looking to buy a new tablet and I'm deciding between these two. My first thought was the tab s for the display but the old hardware is kind of a turn off. I'm not saying it's low end, it isn't, but the snapdragon from the z3 compact is way better and more future proof. I'll mostly use the tablet for gaming and movies.

I'm also planning to root it and probably load cyanogemod.

If there are any other alternatives you're thinking of please post here.
[General Topics] moSess:
Z3
[General Topics] ShadowLea:
The Snapdragon 801 is the 800. Both use the Krait 400... It's called the 801 because they made it run at 2.5ghz instead of 2.3. Nothing more, nothing less.

Both also use an Adreno 330 and 3GB RAM.

Funny how the Tab S has "outdated hardware" , yet the Z3 only has a 1080 resolution, against the 2K on the Tab S.

I should think 1920x1080 ~283 ppi is significantly more outdated than 2560x1600 ~359 ppi.

In terms of hardware the two are identical. The only difference is that the Tab S' screen is 2 years ahead of that of the Z3.

And the battery on the Z3 is 4500mah, against 4900mah on the Tab S.

Ironically the 8.4 "Tab s is actually smaller than the 8" Z3. That thing has a massive bezel o0

Go for the Tab S 8.4. It's a brilliant device.
[General Topics] Elya_Dragon:
I'm running a Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 and i can't even think about outdated hardware on my Tab Pro 8.4, so the Tab S won't disappoint you mate.

2K is saying enough for samsung, my Tab Pro is super fast and i can't really compare much with my Note 4 so the Tab S won't be disappointing.

[General Questions and Answers] AstroQueoRoot:
For a large portion of us, we are unable to enjoy the luxuries of life, such as those top notch Samsung or even the Ipod/Ipad devices. Well, either way, here are two devices I am trying to find the root for, yet I want to be able to root them WITHOUT a computer.

1) iRULU

2) Astro Queo

I realize that these two devices aren't exactly top-notch, but even so, the poor could use some help. I don't exactly own a computer, have proper computer access (my only computer access is at the library, so I can't install anything), and my devices aren't really the top-of-the-line. But even so, I really would appreciate being able to root my Astro Queo & iRulu to get the full potential that I possibly can.

Please, anyone know how to root these WITHOUT a PC?

I have already tried FRAMAROOT & ANDROOT, neither of these work.

[XDA Assist] blink.riddle:
[MANDATORY INTRODUCTORY SENTENCE DEPLOYED] Okay so as the title states I have an issue with my Sprint HTC One (m7) [MANDATORY INTRODUCTORY SENTENCE Complete].

The issue in question is lack of GPSability after flashing (you guessed it) Cyanogenmod 11 and currently CM12. I have tried multiple ROMs since then and all of them either don't fix the issue or wont install or work at all. So now I'm back to CM12 and everything works terrifically except for GPS...which I need...alot.

Now of all the research I've done on finding a fix for this infuriating problem has led me to believe that the only real way to fix this is to flash to a stock ROM, get a GPS fix/lock/signal/whathaveyou and then wipe and flash back over to your ROM of choice HOWEVER....heh heh I kinda un-acquired my backup, it somehow got erased during some blunder during the initial rooting process and I was dumb enough to not have saved a backup on my pc...oops.

Now I am aware that there are other ways of restoring my device to stock by other means such as RUU processes but I am not able to perform this process as my internet connection on my pc is dependent on my phone itself via tethering.

I also know that some have had luck by flashing new kernels however I have not been able to find one that worked for me.

So I guess what I'm asking is does anyone know of any other way I could restore my phone to stock using methods that don't require my pc to be connected to the internet, know of a place where I can find a flashable stock ROM or simply just fix my GPS issue outright?

I appreciate any assistance anyone can offer and hope I even have this posted in the right area. Thank you in advance.

[Sony Xperia ZR] coldfusionhybrid:
Hi everyone, I'm considering replacing my old phone with a ZR. I don't mind that the ZR was launched is 2013. The reasons I'm considering this phone:

Removable battery

Good battery life

Waterproof

I read on GSMArena that the battery life is great. I've read people saying they can get 1.5 to 2 days moderate use. Is this true?

Please share the pros and cons based on you personal experiences. (yes, i've read similar questions posted here, but I'm also curious about recent numbers on battery life?).

Thanks in advance :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] Daedroza:
Yes. Max 1.5 days here with Stock(4.3) ROM. I only use WhatsApp and Browser.
[Sony Xperia ZR] sourabhp:
Battery life depends on individual usage. XZR is not great but good phone mid range.

For me, the cons are low internal memroy ( should have been 16GB like XZ ) and very poor front cam if you are selfie person.
[Sony Xperia ZR] hagar006:
There are definitely many worse phones than ZR out there.. Since i've got this phone a year ago it has been flashed constantly, apk's installed installed/uninstalled constantly... I dont know how many times i've dropped it on the floor and been caught out in the rain with it and still it is here, booting up without complaints...

On stock rom i never got better than about 20 hrs battery life and now on custom rom about 24 hrs... Great phone thjis...
[Sony Xperia ZR] paulson881:
That wholly depends on whether you want REMOVABLE battery or LONG-LASTING battery. Since your battery is removable, it is inevitable that the battery suffers wear-and-tear far sooner than non-removable ones because there are all sorts of things that may place themselves between the battery and the contact point, that may include dust, moist, droplets of whatever liquids, etc. As a result, even if the battery started great, it WILL deteriorate at a noticeable speed. That's why manufacturers are reluctant to produce battery-exchangeable devices if it is not so necessary, plus that it will make it thicker and look a lot less favorable. To conclude, removable battery is a feature that puts this phone on a different category than other Z phones, but you should consider them because of a far longer lifespan, and that removable battery ain't not THAT worth it.
[Sony Xperia ZR] sourabhp:
I am on stock latest 4.4.4 and battery lasts for a day only. But I'm using 3G so thats considerable. Also the flaps have become loose because you can not keep it open as it may break in pocket. but for charging you have open. so after some time the locks on flaps wear out. they are very hard to get. even sony does not provide it
[Sony Xperia ZR] coldfusionhybrid:
-delet
[Sony Xperia ZR] coldfusionhybrid:
I've had people telling me this as well but I doubt its a significant difference. My friends with Samsung phones don't have issues with this. Their batteries lifespan is about the same as an iPhone. When its at the end of its life, just buy a new battery and pop it in. Lets you keep using the phone till you really need to upgrade. Also, I like the extra option to remove the battery in case I need to force the phone to restart. I've had to do that a couple of times....when I really needed the phone work. Luckily my current phone has a removable battery. I don't want to be caught in that situation with a non removable battery.

Yes it can be unlocked and rooted. Might have to ask for a new unlock code, if you relocked it. But that's it.

Yes and yes. Though running the RUU doesnt require you ro re-lock your BL and doesnt re-lock your BL after flashing. If you run with an unlocked BL you'll still have it unlocked.

GPE help

How would you install this RUU from a GPE RUU since the GPE has a smaller partition. Would it be the same procedure EX: change the CID then flash or do i have to do another method?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
There is a lot of confusion on this thread.

To be clear, if s-on, the bootloader

must

be RELOCKED or LOCKED in order for RUU to run.

The only exception to this, is if you have s-off (I'm guessing that is the reason some responses above say UNLOCKED bootloader is okay, since s-off would be the only reason this would be true).

You do not need to flash stock recovery to RUU. This is only necessary for OTA. RUU will flash all new partitions, including stock recovery.

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

May or may not work. I've heard reports of both. You may have to flash the extracted firmware.zip first, then RUU, as some folks have had to do.
