No, it isn't noticeable, but what is noticeable is each pixel of the screen, since GearVR is a pair of magnifying glasses. For gaming, you will probably need a bluetooth joypad, few games work without it.

Re: Gear VR - SLOW & LAGGY on Samsung Edge Plus. How can I get it working better? Arter97 kernel does not work with GearVR. Use another one or go back to stock. I use the stock modified kernel from XDA, and that one solves both the wakelock issue I had and works with GearVR.

Android OS and Android System - I had the same problem, your phone never enters deep sleep. There is a bug in Samsung's kernel that causes this (puts your phone in a constant wakelock), for me, the only solution was to use another kernel - Arter97 or some other. Arter97 works fine if you don't...

Hi, Well, I got used to it, I cannot say I enjoy it, but I got used to it. For the UI, I got the Action Launcher, Min Icon Pack and Microsoft's Next lockscreen, so now it all looks decent. I also had to swap Samsung's kernel for another one, since Samsung's spent way too much battery. Android...

For what it's worth, I flashed the Arter97 kernel and, after a few days, it looks like the issue is gone, I am now getting good battery life, both when using the phone and when it is idle. Maybe this information will help someone :)

Hi, My S6 Edge+ has been using the battery a lot while not in use - it loses about 40% over night (so about 5% per hour when not in use). When I got the phone, I flashed a custom (rooted) ROM I found here on XDA (Audax was the name, IIRC), but I think the battery issue existed before that...

I have the same problem, my phone lost 39% of battery over night (~8 hrs). When I look into the settings, it says that 'Android system' uses the battery most, by a huge margin. I've tried everything I found online (restart, wipe cache, factory reset, I even put a new stock ROM with Odin), but...

I guess we all have different usages for our phones and we all like different things. Yes, you can change the layout on Android but I haven't found one yet that I really like. I can bear some of them and that's it. I tried flashing a few custom (and rooted) ROMs, but they were clearly made by...

You're right, I'll shut up. Thanks for the tips and the patience people, I'll investigate better next time :)

I think I may be a special case, since I really don't care about any of the things you mention. I didn't need quick charge, since I didn't need to recharge the battery twice in 24hrs (and I prefer it that way). I don't care about the camera because I own an entry-level DSLR and no cell phone in...

Thanks, I'll try all those out when I get the time. I like that it can be customized a lot, but it looks like all ways are equally silly. Asides from that, the battery life on Edge+ is terrible. I got up today at 11 (yaaay weekend!), and not it is 6:30pm and the battery is at 52%. I took a few...

So the main advantage of Android over Windows is that you can customize the hell out of it and it has many more apps. I'm not sure I care about either of those. What drove me away from Windows was that Windows 10 Mobile simply isn't finished and even the basic tasks would not work sometimes. I...

Thanks, I tried them too, though the one I found most intriguing was Buzz Launcher, that one really reminds me of what I used to do to my desktop PC back in the day.

I did try other themes for TouchWiz, too, but those mostly just change the icons and the wallpaper? There are some that are not that bad, but I am really missing the elegance and the modern look of tiles.

Hi, I've made the switch from Windows Phone/Mobile to Android, since Windows 10 just wouldn't work on my Lumia 1520. I though about giving something new a chance (I already used iOS before, not a fan) so I got myself a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ (that's a long name) and I really cannot say I am...
