OK so I will again state I feel lucky to have purchased this phone even with the battery issues and maybe because of these issues. I got an excellent phone which I was super happy with and because it may have been an issue, it was replaced and a temp was supplied, and finally a new one was given. I have had many bonuses over this process including my newly arrived VR headset.
So my son, who has been tracking the progress of this promo since I told him about it, opened the box and set the straps up. Opened strapped and connected, it took some time to update and download things.
So the process was pretty smooth. It did take a bit to get the n7 in and out of the headset. Mainly because you are handling a slick phone and a big headset for the first time. I was cautious and did it over the bed instead of the kitchen floor. You are putting the phone onto the charging port at an awkward angle, while holding both in mid air. Once you get the feel, it is a none issue, but I was cautious. One thing to consider is to shut off any lock security, at least when you are first doing it because if it times out before you get is clicked it wont activate. There may be a setting you can alter to fix this, but I just shut it all off because of all the in and out. My phone is the only one that can be used and I had a wife and 2 kids all jumping at the chance to use it and it is first and foremost my PHONE.
So once on and set up all I can say is WOW. and that doesn't cut it. It is awesome. It took me only seconds to get the hang of the buttons and process. Then I was clicking and downloading. Several apps either free or already downloaded. Groovr was great. I tested Samsung Internet (youtube, samsungvr and such). My son who is afraid of heights was testing the #BeFearless. All parties wanted more.
So this brings me to a few questions and comments. How do I get the free Oculus money/credit? It says the apps will just simply be listed as "download" not purchase, but I did not see that. Mainly I also have not seen a list of items?
I also can see the screen door effect. Am I right in saying this device is the best screen on the market? I am by no means saying its bad, just think I was expecting better. What about the other units, like the rift, htc and the new sony vr? Just wondering.
Last point is more on the adult side. This device will be passed around to many people, of course if you so desire them to view it. So remember this is YOUR PHONE. YOUR PICS. YOUR VIDEOS. YOUR BROWSER HISTORY. and while someone has it on, YOU CAN NOT SEE WHAT THEY ARE SEEING... Just make sure you are careful to keep things secure. Photos in the secure folder, and clear the Samsung Internet Gear VR cache and data if you accidentally end up at the wrong site.....
