Reverse POV w S7 Edge

[leviathan0999]

I find a lot of the 180°/360° videos I've found default to exactly the opposite of the desired POV. The video starts, and I'm looking at the back of the room, and I have to twist around 180° to see the "action." Obviously, very frustrating. Is there some setting or control I can't find that will immediately flip/reverse the POV by 180° so I'm immediately looking in the opposite direction?

Welcome to Android Central!

Did you ever figure out what the issue was?

Which video apps are you using? I know most of the videos I've found in the Gear VR apps start you off where the creator wanted you to be looking, but not all of them. Sometimes the starting point is undefined in the app, and to the best of my knowledge there's no setting for that since it's set per video by the creator.

I'm using the GearVR gallery. The built-in player gets the POV reversed on some -- and only some -- specific vids.

I have found some of the 360 vids do that, like rollcoasters and stuff it starts me out looking at a side view.

As far as moving 2d screens u can hold down the back button and hit re orientate screen. I use that if i wanna lean back in my chair and watch netflix or something.
