Just a quick update on this. My Gear setup includes a Galaxy S10e that has been rolled back to Android 11. This was my old phone that had a broken screen but was still mostly useable in Gear VR. This past weekend I decided to get the screen repaired and afterward I wanted to load some of the latest games from the Vault. I started with the Go games that are listed as not compatible with the Gear VR (S8) on the site, and Thumper in particular as I own this game on the PSVR.

I'm happy to report that the few games I've tested on the S10 all appear to work including Thumper. I notice a few bugs: trying to use the wireless controller causes Thumper to crash, but a bluetooth gamepad works fine. It also seems to crash at the end of the level, but progress is saved and you can reload and continue after the crash.

I didn't see anywhere on the Vault site itself to provide this feedback so I figured I'd drop a note here. Feel free to respond with any questions or requests to test any other games.

Hi, hope you are all well.

It's been a few weeks since I used my Gearvr properly and I have finally completed HeroBound First Steps. I never realised it was a "demo" and in my opinion it isn't because if it is, it's a very long one!

I'm now playing Herobound Spirit Champion and while it's part of the same series, so far, it has a different feel!

Whereas First steps was a 3rd Person perspective and felt like a 3D arcade platformer, so far, Spirit Champion feels more of an Adventure/puzzle game and kind of 2nd person and so far also a little more relaxed, although I haven't play much of it yet, so like the first one, it'll Probably get devilishly difficult!

As fantastic as it was, a Herobound First steps style game would be even more amazing if you could flick between 1st and 3rd person.

Because I have found some of my "not installed" library such as Portaller will download to 100% but fail to install, even though I have turned off play protect, I looked into downloading Nox which has the feature of Emulating the S7 etc and also the feature of capturing APKs before they are auto deleted upon attempted install.

However, the latest NOX gets stuck on a well known issue of "your graphics card driver need updating" and would not install and despite trying all the options and tuition on Youtube I could not get round it.

So I looked at an older version and it advises to turn off Mcafee and any other Anti Virus software and according to Reddit forums, Nox contains Malware! The older version is not on Nox official website or at least I couldn't find it, but my pc is only 32bit and is now quite old so It may not be capable of doing the Job anyway. Any ideas?

I live in Brazil and here the taxes are high and the salary is low, would you have any idea about importing or something?

I bought Samsung gear vr but I discovered that it works with some models like S7 S6 I want to know if any one test it by any other brands like XIAOMI POCO

THANKS

Hello! I'm thinking in buying a Gear VR to use it with my S20 FE, I'm not interested in the Gear VR functions, I will use it for PCVR but I have 2 questions

The first is, will the Gear VR have enough space for my S20 FE 5G and will it be on the center?

The second is, I'm interested on buy 2 Gear VR controllers for using it in my PC as PCVR controllers, it is possible? I read that it is complicated and I only finded a Russian guy talking about modifying some things in the regedit on windows 10 to make it work, here's the link if anyone wants to try it and tell me.

Without anymore to say, thank you for reading and I'll be waiting for responses, thanks!!!

Hey so I got my s7 edge working and the controller seems to be acting really strange, when I initially move my hand it moves with the hand as expected, but then glides back to pointing to the ground. How do I fix this?

Edited: I uploaded the video I mentioned In the comments to YouTube so you all can see the problem I have. I've tried callibrating my compass, magnetic sensor and neither have worked. GearVr's oculus app doesn't calibrate it properly either. https://youtube.com/shorts/lGQl8Nar3nM?si=OBCGO8ru3H-HaDqS

I've lost the USB adapter that the S7 edge used for my gearvr, how can I use the edge with the USBC adapter?

i got a s7 recently and I wanted to use it on my gear vr but there is no download button

edit : now it is the facebook session expired error on oculus app

Mine works fine until it tried to install Samsung Internet. It keeps saying it can't install the file and goes back to the file download and to the install button. It's acting like the file is write protected or something.

I'm using a G930v Samsung S7 upgraded to Oreo. The thing is, even after upgrading it, it doesn't fix the problem. It just never gets past the loop. I press "install" button and it keeps telling me (in small writing) it can't install Samsung internet.

I thought about rooting it and trying that way but i can't find a "safe" root for the G930v (and every time i ask, people send me roots for other versions of the S7 or to stuff that's LONG outdated and the files aren't there).

Anyone have some input on how to bypass this issue?

When I try to enable dev mode in gear vr service, the message "setup incomplete" keeps popping up. How do I fix this? image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jRuJ3ex0LzexpBZRUe5sl3U9aanRJAwC/view?usp=drivesdk

After entering my email and password, I clicked the "link and continue" button but it doesn't work. The button just turn blue again then nothing happens. Video link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ixv-qDdV2hw3KtJ42aJMCk7gQvmzQZH7/view?usp=drivesdk

help :(

I've recently got my hands of some I think rare vr apps, so I've decided to share it. Here's the link (don't worry it's safe) https://www.mediafire.com/folder/vfxz6f5fsr7cr2s,7hdrm63j4suslvi,qjwhjittplygjxm/shared

Enjoyy

I recently bought gear vr for my Galaxy note 8, I installed all the required apps, installed a firewall to stop the update loop, but when I try to run any vr app I get an error: oculus app keeps crashing. I tried to reinstall the app, no luck. Does anyone have an idea what's wrong?

Good Morning,

I am an aspiring videographer who recently ventured into VR filmmaking. Over the past six months, I’ve been producing content, primarily focusing on meditation experiences and virtual tours. While I’ve enjoyed creating these, I haven’t seen much traction in terms of engagement. Recently, I experimented with car-related videos, which also failed to gain traction.

I understand that growth takes time, but I’m seeking feedback on whether I should continue with my current approach or explore a different niche. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or insights you may have.

Thank you in advance for your feedback!

Hi guys, I recently acquired a phoneVR headset and I was able to watch some videos online or even play some mobile games in VR

However, everytime I try to play a downloaded video (be it from VR Players or from normal player) I get an error as if my phone.

Do you guys know how to solve this? Ive been investigating playing the video from my PC, but I wont know if it would solve it because in the PC the videos also seem to be just the two images side by side not able to look around

Hello! Does anyone have the apk for the version that works for samsung s9+? Ghe one from the gear VR site doesnt work... i had skybox until today when i was fixing gear VR (gear VR works now but i lost skybox)

Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying a new one called pigasus for vids but i really dont like it.

If no skybox is available. Are there any others that you guys can recommend ?

Thanks in advance!

Hello guys I'm new. I hope you can help me with my problems downloading softwares to use the oculus gear vr. When I try to download the files to use the vr it says "impossible to install samsung internet", the problem is that I already downloaded samsung internet, I tryed all, but it won't work. I prefer not to download any apk but if there are any other choises I will. Thank you for the help.

I downloaded the files from GearVr.net, they work perfectly, but I cannot sign into Facebook. When I'm on that page, I can't scroll down and agree to it. I don't know what to do, I tried it in Dex, but I still couldn't scroll nor see the button. Is there a way to fix it or something?

I have a S8, it was working about 3 months ago.

I fired it up and it worked for a bit, and then went to the install screen.

I tried the unbrick your gear vr guide and even a post a few down but I am stuck on an empty download vr apps page and the only way to get the list again is to uninstall gear vr and start again.

this is my 3rd time trying.

I turned on the firewall after the last install, get the blank download vr apps page.

turn on the firewall just before I installed the last apk and I get the same thing.

Can someone please tell me what I missed?

Hey everyone sorry if this isn’t allowed - I just had a really wild theory relayed to me and wanted to know if there’s any solid ground to it in theory or hypothetically- Is there any way someone could utilise AR/VR to effect someone physically in the real world (someone not using any vr/ar/mr at all) - given any modifications of any kind would this be possible? 100% sure this sounds unhinged but it’s got me reeling and I want to crowdsource some info if possible - thank you!!

Can i use a controller than has gyroscope features on the gear vr other than the official one?

and if so are there any recommendations

(am already using my xbox controller to navigate i want to use a vr controller)

It's been a little bit since we last did an update, so here we go...

Big thanks to 2jkaz and 2molina007 who managed to get Mini Motor Racing working, and it's been added. Keep in mind this is an Oculus Go only title. It *may* work on an S10, but we didn't test it.

Quest 3 testing is currently on hold due to another major project we're involved with, but should be resuming soon (probably another week or two).

Another very kind user is providing us with a big list of titles not currently listed. They're being trickled out, so we're adding them usually within 24 hours of receiving them.

Recently added:

• In The Eyes of the Animal
• Wendy
• Antihero Simulator

Hi Folks I've tried the guides for "fresh install, Unbrick and developer mode" but I must have missed something.

on a fresh boot with no internet. Firewall program starts. I get the WIFI going (or not) Start GearVR or Plug into the visor and it gets to a screen that says welcome to GearVR click start. it says it needs network if wifi is off then an install screen then it rests on "connecting to server " and just goes back to install after it times out.

I found another guide on this sub thats has more steps but might be outdated, Should I try all that too?

galaxy S8+ and VR set SM R324

Hi All, this may or may not interest you, but having had some advice from @u/2jkaz I have found that any apps on the Vault which happen to also be free ones on Oculus that won't appear in your Oculus library, will appear if you install Meta Horizon from playstore, then go on Gearvr, find any Free app and tap "Add To Wishlist" once you added all the ones you want, go onto Meta Horizon and onto you wish list there and tap "get"

The Thumbnail for each one will now be in your uninstalled section on GearVr Oculus library and in some cases (depending on your device) you can install from there.

In my case nothing will install that way even if 100% downloaded, so I then go to The Vault and download install from there and after a couple of minutes, they appear as installed in the library.

I also tried buying a full version of Starfighter Auduxim but it gets to 27% and fails so I requested a refund via the Meta Horizon page.

Hope I've made sense and not rambled! 🤣😅😂

I have my old phone charging now to try this. I think I hooked this up once when I first got it, but what can I expect to work ad not work nowadays? Thankfully the aaa's didn't leak in the remote heh

I found an older model of the headset for 8 euros, but i really want the controller, does it control well with the touchpad?

I was watching an unboxing of it and i saw it had a usbc thingy, i was planning on buying an s6 edge, is there an adapter that comes with it to make it compatible?

I really want the version with the controller so one of the micro usb versions isn’t an option.

The other day, I was getting update requests for Rush, Endspace, Demon Grade, Drop Dead and Death Horizon, and knowing I had APKs saved (also the fact that all but Endspace are safe on The Vault.gearvr.net I uninstalled them all via settings and re-installed them directly from Oculus store no problem and the update requests within Oculus have gone.

This means they are 100% there but I know I could only get them because I'd previously installed them. But I also spotted the full game for Starfighter Arduxim for £3.99 so just for laughs (knowing full well it would fail but hoping for a miracle) I had no problems adding PayPal as a meta payment directly via GearVr Oculus store and tried anyway!

Now normally, if you try to download and install a free app you never had, as soon as you tap purchase, it come up in red "Execution Of This Query Is Blocked" But on the paid ones it even took me to payment options, press pay by PayPal (at which point I got a little excited!) But, alas "Execution Of This Query Is Blocked" came up again and no money was taken!

The annoying thing is, I'm betting the likes of Starfighter Arduxim and others I'd like are there to download for anyone who has previously owned them, but not accessible for anyone else probably due to payment registration issues due to non support.

Both payments came up as £0.00 even though 1 was Free and Starfighter Arduxim is £3.99.
