I was about to give up, but your rep...Thanks a lot. I was about to give up, but your reply motivated me to try it again. So I reset my phone and did everything u advised. At first I had the same problem again: VRidge told me that a USB device is plugged in, but it didn't show the "use as default" option, so it wasn't working. After that I plugged the head tracker directly into the phone and this time (due to the reset of the phone) it asked me if I want to use the device with Vridge GearVR as default. After plugging the Nolo back to the GearVR it finally worked like a charm. <br /><br />Unfortunately it caused a new problem: When Nolo is plugged in, the "phone gets too hot" message appears faster than before. It's strange, that I can use my phone (Galaxy Note 4) in any regular cardboard at full brightness for hours without any issues. But in GearVR (without backplate) it gets too hot after 20-30minutes of gameplay at half brightness.<br />I guess the GearVR software is really "careful" with older phones and sets some unrealistic max temperatures to sell more of their new phones. I'm quite sure, that the whole GearVR thing worked better before updating to Android 6.0 and newer Occulus versions. But maybe it's just my phone getting old.<br /><br />Should I...:<br />1. ... root my phone to undervolt and underclock the CPU/GPU part? Which of those causes more heat and what are the minimum clocks needed to encode the Stream at ~20MBit/s at 2K res? Could I change the max temperature settings of the GearVR by rooting my phone?<br />2. ... renew the thermal paste of the phone (got some thermal grizzly kryonaut left)<br />3. ... buy a fan for the GearVR. This thing is already a heavyweight - might not be a good idea to attach more weight to it. Standing in front of a big fan would be an alternative (but after the ceiling update gets released this option won't work when I turn around)<br />4. ... buy a new phone (no money :_( and before I waste 500-1000$ for a new Samsung phone just to use it as a DIY VR solution I'd rather buy an Occulus Rift, Vive or Pimax).<br /><br />Did I miss something? Any suggestions are welcome. =)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04399636908667568090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957983028254964364.post-58475182839009307092017-09-08T15:07:10.864+02:002017-09-08T15:07:10.864+02:00Is everybody having the random phantom button pres...Is everybody having the random phantom button presses??

I cn confirm that NoloVR + GearVR2016 works fine.<br />This is how:<br />1- Uninstall the vridge std, usb anywhere, and vridge for gearvr (and reset all data).<br />2- Reinstall only the vridge for gearvr beta.<br />3- Plug in the nolo to the gearvr.<br />4- Started the vridge app and plug the phone to the gearvr. Then the screen must show up the message asking access to the nolo. Of give all permision needed.<br />5- Start to play fully untethered!!!Elhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00936055509987671056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957983028254964364.post-3864160987162450402017-08-29T15:50:56.597+02:002017-08-29T15:50:56.597+02:00I wonder why NoloVR + GearVR 2016 Edition isn'...I wonder why NoloVR + GearVR 2016 Edition isn't supported although it has USB passthrough. At first I thought I was doing something wrong. The phone mentions that the Nolo device is plugged into the GearVR, but it doesn't work. After seeing that others have the same problem (daleytech on youtube) I gave up trying it. But I still hope this could be fixed on the software side. If it's a hardware related problem, Lyrobotix shouldn't have offered the GVR2016 edition in their kickstarter campaign.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04399636908667568090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957983028254964364.post-48916275547892259422017-08-26T10:42:41.522+02:002017-08-26T10:42:41.522+02:00Thanks for your reply, just waiting for 5ghz route...Thanks for your reply, just waiting for 5ghz router and then gonna try it out..

On the desktop app, if you go to settings > VRidge > Other settings, the check mark for audio streaming should be there. If that's checked and its still not working you might have another issue and might want to contact support. I'm using 1.5.3 on a OnePlus One and the audio has been working for me.
