Samsung

sounds like a whole bunch of complaining. I've been with samsung for a short time, but even i know how they handle updates and am not complaining like half of you guys on the forums that have been posting a bunch of spammed post about the beta. If you don't like the way samsung handles things, you are welcome to leave, no one's making you buy/purchase a samsung device.  The beta process is the same every year, get use to it ... View more

I've never known for VR to stay on unless it was in developer mode, witch makes the screen look funny. when I  close the app it never runs in the background.   If you are having problems with it, I suggest that you factory reset the phone. It will remove the added downloaded apps needed to power Gear VR and Oculus and also remove the app icons from the app drawer.   (Install) If you want to activate developer mode for VR without a head set I suggest that you download ConstructVR and QuickShortcutMaker from the play store. Make a account in ConstructVR and download the demo app, that will allow you to activate developer mode for VR, use QuickShortcutMaker to find Gear VR setup wizard, place it on the home screen then launch it. It will download and install all the apps need for Gear VR and Oculus to run. Open Oculus and sign in with you Samsung account then find some apps to install from the Oculus store. After you have done all of these things, go to settings/applications/Gear VR service/storage/Manage Storage/tap build number and developer mode options should Pop-up, turn on to launch VR from the Oculus app and go to Oculus home. (Tip) Don't forget to turn off developer mode when finished so your screen will go back to normal and not drain your battery. (Remove) Turn off the option to have Gear VR shortcut then developer mode if you want to remove it from your device, after that go to settings/applications and remove/delete all Gear VR and Oculus related apps, only Gear VR services should remain   Hope this helps ...
