That would be awesome if we could find out. I emailed customer support a couple days ago basically asking them if I could still get the games if I didn't receive my gear vr before the 20th.

I submitted my claim on 3/9/2016 at 12:30pm. My submission status still says "Submission Approved. Preparing for Shipment. Shipping Date estimate: 4/1/2016" although I've had the Gear VR for two days now.

I am hoping that means mine might arrive sometime today!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] fastv8:
Finally got FedEx tracking info LOL! I tracked it just to see if they accidentally sent a second kit and it showed as delivered. Under-promise, over-deliver.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] naiku:
Weird, mine apparently shipped last Thursday. I just got the email from Samsung today though, however when checking on the tracking it shows a delivery exception, in fact it shows 3 of them...

Local delivery restriction - Delivery not attempted

Recommended action:

No action required. Delivery will be re-scheduled when conditions improve.

Reason for exception:

No attempt made, delivery scheduled for next business day

Recommended action:

No action required. Delivery re-scheduled for next business day.

Not sure what conditions they want improved, it has been sunny and reasonably warm the last week or so. The worst condition was an overnight rain shower and winds (not high winds by any stretch). What I suspect the conditions are in fact are that it is FedEx home delivery and they don't deliver on Saturday. The tracking shows:

4:59 pm	Delivery exception

No attempt made, delivery scheduled for next business day

4:59 pm	Delivery exception

Local delivery restriction - Delivery not attempted

10:25 am	On FedEx vehicle for delivery

So I suspect it was more that it was a Saturday delivery. The most annoying piece of all of it, it is now showing as delivery estimate tomorrow. Despite it only being about 20 miles from here and has been at that location since Saturday.

What games are you all getting in the 6 free game promo?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] ivanrez:
I've got 4/18 estimated shipping date, but plugged my S7 into a friends vr today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] naiku:
Mine arrived yesterday, it is very cool. I knew going into it that the resolution was not great, and its not, at all. The other complaint I have is that the slot for the phone is not as secure as I would like for it to be. For example when I plug the charger into my phone, it's a nice solid connection, on the VR it feels somewhat loose. Once the phone is locked in it appears to hold fine, it just feels a little loose. The VR software crashed on me once, a couple times I have taken my phone out as well it is still showing VR content for a few seconds.

Overall I think if I could have exchanged it for a $100 card instead I likely would have done. Don't get me wrong, the thing is really awesome and shows the future. But, it is unlikely that I will play many games on it and with the poor resolution I am not sure I will use it for watching Netflix / Hulu either. Which ultimately means it will get used less and less until I decide to try and sell it, or some apps get released that really make me use it more than I can currently see myself doing. Obviously this is just my opinion and you may love yours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] goremasta:
Hi Naiku,

Which version is yours? original S7 or Edge version?

Well, for me, it's just an additional plus with my phone's purchase.

Comparing it with the bigger boys, (VIVE, Rift, etc) which is involving separate purchase.

This is still considered a good deal!

Anyhow... I do respect your decision

Enjoy the moment!:o:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] naiku:
Hey goremasta, I have an Edge version. Don't get me wrong, for what it is the Gear VR is awesome and is a great deal that came with the phone purchase. There is no point comparing it to the Rift, VIVE which cost considerable more money. Simply put for me personally, since it would be mostly used for watching movies I suspect it may end up not getting used that much.

It is cool to mess around with it for now though, pulled off my screen protector earlier (one corner was peeling up) and the VR picture is slightly improved. However, I can't run my phone without some kind of protection on it!! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] percussionking:
Mine arrived today. Submitted 03/08/2016. Online status says estimated ship date 4/1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] dongdong6968:
For me, I expected it to be amazing. I got a chance the other day to pop in my phone (normal s7, looked amazing )at an at&t store and try one. It was twice as amazing as I expected it, Netflix was probably the best. Also, don't worry guys. If you read the confirmation email the games expire on April 31st, OR 30 days after you receive it, whichever comes later. So don't fret, you'll have enough time to redeem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] goremasta:
Have ever tried google cardboard?

I assumed GearVR better than cardboard (I hope)

Oh I see... the screen protector make it worse? :confused:

It's quiet possible, another layer! :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] naiku:
I have not tried Google cardboard, although I was reading about a way to enable it to work on the Gear VR. Might give it a shot just to see what it is like at some point, to see if it is better or not. The screen protector made a very slight difference, and I mean very slight, certainly not enough to run without a screen protector. It could even just be the type of screen protector, some may be better than others. This was just a cheap protector while waiting (and hoping) for a tempered glass protector.

I should reiterate, I think it is an incredible piece of kit, just looking around on the menu screen is amazing. I can just see me not using it much after the initial awesomeness wears off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] goremasta:
Yeah ; I've installed the samsung package disabler...

it Should be working:good:

Now I just have to wait for the gearVR unit...:rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] naiku:
The waiting sucks!! I was very impatient for mine to arrive, and while it is sitting next to me at my desk, I have to work so cannot spend some time using it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] benbailey84:
I got the email today offering the $100 gift card. I took it. My thoughts are to get the 250GB ssd for my PC. I would use the ssd more than the gear vr. And reading through this post made my mind up. I was excited about the gear vr but I really don't want to wait until as late as summer to receive it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] ivanrez:
Just got the email from Samsung that my gear has shipped. Tracking shows shipped on 4/1, will arrive tomorrow.

If it makes you feel any better about taking the gift card, I also have a 4/18 date, and no shipping notification from either samsung or FedEx.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] goremasta:
Mine hasn't change yet. 04/30 ....

But I tried my friend's

Much better than cardboard for sure! now the problems are the games, they're pretty costly

Hey ; I just checked the Samsung promo website, here's what I got when I entered my e-mail address :

I am sorry you have no submission associated with this email.

what's happening?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] goremasta:
Well, forget ; it back to the original date, 04/30

Oh, well... a small glitch just now ; I think:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] benbailey84:
Ok, So update guys. I checked my status today and still showed the pending ship for my gift card. I sent an email stating the following, "Just following up on my offer, I received an email a week or two ago informing me that I could swap my gear vr for the $100 credit at the samsung.com store. I accepted that offer instead of the gear vr. Why is it taking so long for me to receive my gift code?". Less than three hours later I get an e-mail with my code for the credit. So now I have SSD 850 EVO 2.5" SATA III 250GB coming. I had to pay like $4 for shipping and taxes for 2 day shipping but thats a damn good deal for a ~$100 SSD double the size of my current Kingston SSD.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] skrambled:
I took the gift certificate deal a week and a day ago. Got the coupon code on Thursday, and it was delivered today (Saturday, two days later).

I was able to get the 6-game bundle too, even though that wasn't supposed to be available anymore.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] benbailey84:
Well yesterday when I got home there was a UPS sticker on my door, They tried to deliver something that required signature. I took the $100 coupon. My question is, Did you have to sign for the package?

I was wondering earlier if they still are shipping out the gear vr. Checked the status and it reads	Submission Approved. Preparing for Shipment. Shipping Date Estimate: Pending *crosses fingers* lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] skrambled:
Mine came via FedEx, signature required. After ordering it went through insanely quickly, but it says it can take up to three days to ship, and there is the shipping time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] benbailey84:
I actually just got the email saying the Ssd tracking number wasn't FedEx but ups. They had it listed as FedEx in the email. I guess the note was for the SSD I ordered. I got my hopes up for no reason at all. But then again the status still says preparing for shipment...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] benbailey84:
Did the gear vr status show a shipping date?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] skrambled:
I don't think the status changed, I got the email and didn't check it again. Then tracked order progress on the samsung.com site that I ordered the gear from.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] benbailey84:
Oh so you took the gift card and turned around and bought the gear vr with the gift card?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] darth_twins:
Finally mine arrived. Yeah!!!

BTW never received an email with the tracking number. Also called yesterday and they told me they haven't sent it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] benbailey84:
Posts like these hope that Samsung messes up and sends me a vr. I selected the $100 gift code. Lol. The status of the vr shows shipping pending and I have already used the code and received the ssd I ordered with it. Lmao
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] rafael707:
Scheduled for the 18th, received it today
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] dongdong6968:
Got my vr Yesterday! I was estimated for April 30th shipping, it was a welcome Surprise! It's amazing, super fun!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] goremasta:
Finally, today I got an email that state that the package on it's way. They shipped it on 04/15 from ZIONSVILLE

And I've check with the tracking ID, I should receive it before end of today 04/19

That's sweet!

They compensate the shipping delay by not telling us the real shipping date ; suddenly the package on it's way...

Slick bastards :D

still a nice surprise tho!

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mnbaseer2006:
Hi..

My s6 edge plus model is SM-G928C (Saudi Arabia). I saw the Iraq version of MM and flashed it through Odin. Everything runs fine except the following:

1. Battery draining faster,

2. Whenever I shut down or reboot the phone, it shows "Android is installing, Optimising Apps 2 of 2",

3.USB Debugging is greyed out.

I tried to reflash the firmware but I still get the problem. Hard resetted it 2 times, no luck. My knox counter is still 0x0. What should I do? Can I downgrade to 5.1.1 again? Coz the battery was much better in it than MM.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Café King:
Yes you can ?

/CK
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheatingOutlaw:
Yes you can and I'll tell you how.

I also have the 928C from UAE. What you must do is, flash the 5.1.1 stock firmware via odin. Uncheck auto-reboot. If it automatically rebooted, you will get a bootloop again and again. So the phone doesn't automatically leave, uncheck auto-reboot. Then when you're inside Download/Odin mode and you finished flashing original firmware, manually restart the phone yourself into stock recovery and do the full wipe of everything. It will reinstall the firmware from fresh and you won't get bootloop. This is what I did. And it worked. It took me a few hours to figure this out because I kept getting bootloop after flashing when the simple solution was to go into stock recovery and just factory reset all data...Not sure why this works but it does. Good luck
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mnbaseer2006:
So that means I don't have to mess with the bootloader version or stuff? Cos I really don't know all that stuff. Thanks for the reply. :)

Did you notice the battery drain in MM? And is that why you went back to 5.1.1? Please help me on this. :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheatingOutlaw:
I always preferred using TouchWiz. It's not too bad. On mm I didn't have battery drain because I had root and it fixed the deep sleep issue which disallows the phone to power down during screen off. I came back to lollipop because on mm TouchWiz lagged. With lollipop I'm using the arter97 kernel. And it's blazing fast. So I'll have to wait for arter kernel for mm once it's stabled and try that on mm. I never had to mess with a bootloader. I thought I was going to have to after getting boot loop. But the simple fix was to enter recovery right after Odin. And factory reset
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mnbaseer2006:
Ok. So I flashed the firmware back, but I dont know how to go directly to recovery mode from Download mode. How to do that?

I tried by exiting Download by pressing Volume down and power, and as it rebooted, I quickly help volume up, home and power button. But still it didnt go in recovery mode. Can you please help me how?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheatingOutlaw:
The same buttons that you press to enter Odin/Download mode, hold again when you finish flashing. For maybe 10 seconds. AS SOON as the screen turns off, move and hold the buttons for recovery mode. I can't remember which is which, I get the combination for recovery mode and odin confused. Remember. AS SOON as Odin mode exits and screen turns black, release all buttons and then hold the recovery mode buttons until the Galaxy s6 + logo appears, wait a few seconds. Then release and you should be in recovery.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mnbaseer2006:
Thanks. Done it after trying 3 times. Lol.. And back to 5.1.1 :D

Thank you very much.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheatingOutlaw:
No problem bro. And if you have any issues with deep sleep (Where the phone doesn't shut off CPU cores during screen off) then you can download CPU spy and if Deep Sleep is 0, then you have the deep sleep issue and will cause battery drain. And the phone gets hot in your pocket. IF you have this problem. Then flash Arter97 kernel version 11.0
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimoun103:
help

how can i comeback to 5.1.1
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mnbaseer2006:
Just downloaded CPU spy and it shows deep sleep as 2%. Meaning no problem? I mean the phone has just flashed.

Update: Deep sleep has raised to 43% after an hour and a half. That means good?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mnbaseer2006:
For Arter97 kernel do I have to root the phone? Cos I don't like that. :P
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheatingOutlaw:
Yea, you have to flash philz recovery via odin. Then inside philz recovery flash kernel then root.

I got stuck on bootloop too but marshmallow completely messed up my phone:

The 6.0.1 BTU MM update has royally messed up my phone.

It was ok at first but my Google contacts wouldnt sync constantly throughout the day so i cleared the data and it kept going crazy rebooting crashing every 2 mins even not letting me factory reset from recovery it would boot a bit then crash.

I did it OTA then used smart switch desktop to reload the firmare to have a clean install still same problem would freeze and crash after couple mins or secs of use.

Does anyone know what might have happened?

I was up all night tryna fix it resorting to flashing with odin the last lollipop OJ2 that i was using before but it still was crashing and rebooting i tried clearing cache partition and master reset several times while still on marshmallow and also with lolilop it would crash and not even let me factory reset as it would freeze when i try to use volume down key to click yes to clear everything.

It was working fine before on lollipop now even tho i am back on it it isnt the same randomly reboots. When i get to the start up screen aftrr factory reset it crashes halfway through adding my wifi etc unless i do it quickly i try clearing cache partition after flashing lollipop but it gets stuck on bootloop which i cant clear except pressing vol down and power button for 20 secs then it freezes.

I finally i hope have some stability in the firmware but every time i go to android recocrry to clear cache partition it crashes while booting up and restarts again then freezes. What the hell is going on?

I thought clearing cache partition master reset etc should restore it to a clean firmware.

What is causing this crashing? Traces of marshmallow should be cleared once odin flashes over lollipop and also factory reset clear cache partition yet i still have this issue.

Do the following things to get rid of this bootloop: go to sammobile.com and download the Iraqi firmware G928CXXU2BPB8_G928COJV2BPB7_MID MM, put your device into download mode (sure you know how to?), using Odin3_v3.10.7 flash it and report...

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] AJHylton:
Now I haven't seen this anywhere while trying to find a fix so I may possibly be sharing a new idea.

I know that we already have Greenify and such apps to extend our phones battery life, but what I find is that in some way or another they reduce the overall performance of it.

My idea is to create a Tasker profile where the phone runs at normal performance during screen on but recognises when the display is locked and reduces the CPU speed to its minimum, because surely being at anything more is a waste of CPU energy?

I have created a profile that's activated by a display off event, followed by a System >> CPU task called "Lower CPU" that reduces the max frequency to the value of min frequency.

When activated it does lower the speed while the screen is off, but once I turn the screen back on it takes a reboot to get the cores speed to increase again even if I turn off the Tasker profile.

It won't allow me to create an exit task for an event context so do I need to create a new profile to raise the CPU speed in an event of a screen on? Or is there a way to use a plugin like Trickster Mod to lower and raise it instead?

Apologies for it being so long, I'm not sure if I'm making it more complicated? But help please!

Thank you!

P.s - the images are screenshots of CPU-Z 1. Before locking the screen. 2. Immediately after unlocking the phone 3. About 2 minutes after unlocking the phone and it just doesn't return to normal
