Amazon could have oversold before shutting down pre-orders. Which is why I'm glad I ordered from best buy and am watching the ups tracker from work.No idea what the demand would be like even though all these people not getting it had it preordered? That's worse.
Has anybody used this with the S6 active?

Okay so now BB is outta stock, wonder if I got there in time?
Wow Oculus you guys fucked up big. This does not make me very confident about your Rift release.
Quick question: can you charge the phone while using the gear?

I have the innovator edition that came out a few months ago for the S6 and it has a USB port that allows you to charge the phone. I would think this new version has it as well. Someone might be able to add some more insight to that though.
This would also be fine, I just want a way to be able to use it without needing a full charge.The IE's charge port allowed you to use S6 w/o using the battery but it didn't actually charge the phone. Basically just a pass-thru port.

Also I assume the consumer model let's me plug in headphones?
Yep. There's a micro USB port on the bottom of the headset.Quick question: can you charge the phone while using the gear?
Nice OT! Could be worth adding a couple of things:
Quake VR!
Package Disabler if you want to run cardboard apps while having the phone inserted. Disable Gear VR Service.
Questions: does anyone know how to delete software in your library? I've selected the little 'i' in the top corner but I don't see any options.
Thanks. That's a little poopy that I can't do it from the Gear though. I don't use this phone for anything else so I was hoping never to have to take it out.You should have a GearVR app available if you go to your app tray with the phone out of the headset, it looks like the Oculus logo. In there, you can download and manage GearVR games and apps.
Thanks. So in other words, the IQ is in fact good, but the screenshots don't do it justice?one of the major problems of the headset atm is the inability to capture/produce good screenshots/feed. It's something that the developer has come out about and will be supporting very soon.

How did you connect the controller? Basic bt pairing or something else?
Does this thing need blu-tooth head phones, or is there an AUX jack? I can't find any mention of one.

Does it work with S6edge+ ?
Omega Agent ($10) - very cool flight simulator where you are flying around a city. There are missions but so far all I've done is free flight enjoying the experience and looking for secrets. There is full controller support (left stick flies you in that direction, right stick turns) which makes me think maybe traditional controls aren't going to be as much as a bugbear in VR as some have suggested.
This is a bummer, Dead Secret is giving me some sort of weird left eye judder and screen tearing, right eye is smooth. Tested out Colosse and it didn't have that problem. Anyone else try it and have similar problems?
edit: Also in whatever app I'm in I occasionaly keep seeing a thin horizontal black bar appear in the center of the screen, no text or anything. Anyone else get this, know what it is?
Sorry, I'm getting nothing like that.
I've been very impressed with visual quality. After being used to the DK1 screen door effect, this thing is like heaven. It shines best in the Netflix room.
Land's End and Eve Gunjack are both fantastic games for the headset. Overall, $99 is a no-brainer if you have a compatible Samsung phone.
I cant seem to get anything looking really clear. Its always slightly blurry. Not sure if its supposed to be like that or i just have crap eyes. It doesnt look real bad its just not crystal clear like i thought it would be. Granted I know nothing i bought this on a whim. Also i have a massive headache now. Motion sickness fucking sucks.
If it says preparing I think you're in good shape.Still stuck at preparing at BB. Something tells me I clicked buy right after they ran out.

Love the ambient lighting in the netflix ski chalet and oculus cinema. Was watching Terminator earlier, so good.
I don't know if I would be possible but if they could get 3D movies in the Netflix app to work that would be incredible.
Holy fuck this Social App.
Like.. holy fuck.
The possibilities.
