[Samsung Gear VR] Haints:
Having spent way too many hours trying to perfect my own DIY HMD, I thought I'd found the solution: I could just buy a Note 4, buy a Gear, and be done with it ( at least until the Rift is released).

Got my Gear today, and ... I can't get over how poor the image quality is. It's not the Note 4 screen, which is fine, it's the lenses on the Gear. When I look at a screen capture on my HMD (using the Note 4 as a screen), and then look at it on the Gear, the same image seems drastically different: zoomed in, with pixels the size of baseballs drowning out all sense of immersion. I tried a 1080p video on the Oculus Theater ... it was so pixelated it reminded me of watching videos on my old psp ...

In every other respect the Gear beats my DIY HMD hands down, but in this one--I would argue very important area--it absolutely does not.

Am I the only one who had this experience?
[Samsung Gear VR] clonednull:
I agree with you that the image quality is still not good enough to replace mediums like a TV or monitor. This is for sure one reason why it will not find mass adoption right now. You must understand that this are really early days of consumer VR now and until today there is no "real" consumer ready HMD on the market.

ad. Gear VR lenses:

They really could have used better optics but then the price would be not "consumer friendly" then - also the DK2 lenses are crap in my opinion but it seems the market for good vr optics also just have been awaken.

I remember my first VR experience was with a homemade cardboard-design HMD using good lenses from high grade binoculars. They were heavy (as glass made) and the achieved FOV was not really great but it was crystal clear and nearly zero SDE. When i got my DK2 i was really disappointed to see this big pixel party! But realizing what a great FOV and the right software can achieve (a kind of presence) i knew we have to go for great FOV if VR should be a new medium and not only a image/movie viewer.
[Samsung Gear VR] Haints:
Thanks for the detailed response!

I think Samsung/Oculus tipped the balance WAY too far toward FOV at the expense of SDE.
[Samsung Gear VR] Toss3:
Personally I prefer a larger FOV, and think you get the best experience with the foams removed (only have some on my nose). Would never choose a smaller FOV just for slightly less of a SDE as that would totally kill the immersion for me. Hoping for 4K full RGB screens in two years time. ;)
[Samsung Gear VR] mushtie2:
Agree with you

I for one absolutely agree with you. got mine 2 days ago and yeah the experience is nice but the image quality is fuzzy or blurry, it would be nice if someone can mod a lens on to the Gear VR to sharpen the quality.

my question: is this issue addressed in the upcoming drift in 2016?
[Samsung Gear VR] MrOtsKrad:
To be very very honest, Im not disappointed about it at all. The tech is really young, the Note4 was only compatible with the innovator and development editions of the hardware. I cant comment on the quality improvement between the devices. But with a Note5 and a consumer version, Im getting exactly what I thought id be getting. Very bleeding edge technology that hasn't even gotten off the runway but is far ahead than anything else on the consumer market today.
[Samsung Gear VR] polish_pat:
Remember this: 100$ ..................... if you want something better, the next step is 600$ and only in march.

Also, this is technically not even an official 1st gen device. It's a slightly better draft than the slightly better draft of the previous editions. I think oculus and samsung partnered to use Galaxy users as a sort of Beta test. This technology obviously is the future, but as of now, its still a foetus. I have a Note 5, one of the most powerful smartphones in the world, and yet, the VR uses 98% of the phones performance. The battery drains within 1h practically and it generates so much heat it would probably keep your coffee warm in winter.

I bought one of the best rated VR headsets on amazon as a gift for my nephew, it cost me half of what my GearVR cost me, and it doesnt even come close to offer what Samsung does. The ONLY thing it does better, it it has almost no light leak. Thats also the only thing i can ***** about the GearVR, i would have liked a black background around lenses and thicker padding around face, or at least, an extra strip of padding we can patch the light leaks (also a carrying bag would have been nice even if it was cheap).

This GearVR sould have been called the "Early Bird Edition". We all are early adopters, I can tell you one thing, for 100$, I have impressed 100% of the people that put the headset on, and not only impressed, amazed. And 3 weeks later, i'm still being impressed by the new thing I find I can do, explore or play.

As for the pixels, it would take an 8K screen 3 inches from our face to not see them. I didnt know this until recently when the app froze on me but out the the entire screen realestate, only a very small portion is used for a majority of content. So yeah, that 1080p content you are watching, not exactly trueHD

I might have made it a bit small, but not by much.

P.S. Not a big fan of the super mega studio adult films, but they have actually some of the highest quality videos out there, there are some samples floating around, its quite impressive.
[Samsung Gear VR] samsungwarrior:
Over the moon with mine, can watch full length movies with ease Tonto being one of them, battery no problem here with an s6 edge plus, but use mine on wifi only usually, and I have facebook blather and g+ disabled, and nothing polling ,email etc. all on manual , usually use unit at 4 to 5 on its brightness slide ,not aware of any light leak in my experience.

Everyone without exception who has tried it is blown away, I own my favourite phone anyway and then this appears, an accessory for $99 with this level of experience, if you are fortunate to be able to afford it without neglecting your life and dependants needs.......who wouldn't . If apple had released this exact same item with their logo ,the media would have eaten it alive with cream and the public would too, and, when they do, they will, we all

know this is in its infancy, but its a great place to be, the next advance in screen resolution will nail it, when your looking at a 25 foot screen with the clarity of a samsung big tv quality ,you, entertainment wise, have arrived.

plus, keep em like new guys, when it comes time to upgrade, this will practically sell your phone for you...maybe. lol.
[Samsung Gear VR] highlordkram:
Love mine too. Have had it since the day after Thanksgiving, and still using it a lot daily. There is a "screen door effect" to it, but the resolution is still clear and bright on movies. I put on some 3D movies last week, and they look great, and are easy to watch. Games like Herobound and Gunjack are also stunning and extremely fun with a controller to play. Samsung Internet browser is great, but don't count on all content to be great quality. There are some good 3D video samples on Youtube through the browser though. Also just looked through some Experiences in the Oculus Video app tonight, like going to the Electric Daisy Carnival. Again, quality of that video not great, but still a fun experience to see what it would be like to be there.
[Samsung Gear VR] stevegee111:
SDE is overpowering and both sides of the screen out of focus - in my experience. Its a cool toy but nothing I would use for any length of time. This is with the Note 5.

That being said, the tech should probably be good in a year or so.

I've heard horror stories with people using Kingroot.

Mobile Odin Pro is the best way to do anything like this to the Note 3 if not using a computer. It can be used to flash CF-Auto-Root, TWRP recovery, different basebands, Odin flashable firmwares, and virtually anything else that can be flashed with Odin on a computer. It's a very handy mobile tool to have.

Hi,

when I navigate to ext. SD via file manager and force an mp3 to load in playerpro, then it plays that one file. but that navigation is extremely inconvenient. Unfortunately all the music players do not see the external SD card. Is there another solution?

according to developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.4.html there should be no problem when using the "new" API.

so how come no music player does that?

Any hint would be great. Best wishes!

Hi,

so I'm having a little bit of a problem with my Moto G 2nd Gen. Dual SIM 2014 (XT1068). I got the notification for the Stagefright fix update a few days ago, but every time I try to install it the installer throws an error after the progress bar is at about 40%.

Now I've found the cause. In /cache/recovery/last_log it says that /system/bin/app_process32 has an unexpected SHA1 sum. The log:

Rebooting...

The phone has an unlocked bootloader and was rooted with SuperSU but otherwise unmodified (I needed the root for the Sixaxis Controller). Some forum posts I found mentioned that the "Xposed Framework" is probably the cause, but I did not install that.

... I've found the original file in /system/bin/app_process32_original but system-recovery.sh also has a backup and was definitely modified by SuperSU

So I guess the question is: how can I install the Stagefright update without losing root?

Great app, just copy game data from internal memory to SD card and play the game.

Only problem I have is that when I update the game I see both old and new OBB on my memory card. For example one game that normally takes about 2GB, after update it took 4GB! Is there a fix for that? OBBs take quite much space if every game data is doubled after update.

The only difference between the two devices is that the G901F is the LTE-A version, which supports the 4G Cat-6 network speeds (300/50mbps instead of 150/50mbps).

[P3600 General] leecotton:
Other devices...

Well, the HTC Advantage can do all the same things, plus it has a VGA screen, but is a much more bulky device. The only other device I'm aware of that does all that the Trinity does is the Nokia N95. The Nokia has the advantage of a 5MP camera (only 2mp on the Trinity), but it doesn't run pocket PC (it's Symbian I think).

Other than that, I'm not aware of any others. The Trinity is a very good device, you'd be hard pushed to beat it!

Other options

As of now the Trinity is one of the best PDA'a around.

Other phones that you can consider are the Asus P535/525 series and the Eten M700.

These phones have all the feature the Trinity has and then some more. Like all phones, the Trinity also has its fair share of problems.

I was about to buy the Trinity but holding out for the Kaiser, it has all the feature that I want in a phone.

Just my 2 cents worth.
