  • Lost VR option on smartphone

Hello, everyone. New to the forum here. I've been enjoying SLR for a few months now, using a VR headset and a Samsung S20 smartphone. Today I've found some (good) changes have been made to the interface, but the actual button to go VR has disappeared. Anyone know what's going on?

    Mike451 Never managed to enjoy it. Might be a good idea to get it back as an option.

    I think it needed to be tweaked a lot to enjoy it.

        doublevr Yes it did, and it also sometimes had bugs. Being able to tweak stuff was sometimes more of a feature , tho
        I've been looking into getting an Oculus, but, for the time being, smartphone and headset are the only option for some of us. Even when it did work, it lacked the hands-free feature that you see on VRPorn and Spankbang, which seems to be one of the few downsides to SLR. Makes no sense maintaining the subscription if I can't watch in VR. Might as well go for MatureNL or the Czech stuff then

          Mike451 Same here! Very frustrating because I just resubscribed after having issues with mobile for the last couple of months. It worked for a day and then broke again.

            We are getting it back. Might take some time though

            I did say this on another thread.

            Galaxy S20

            • Snapdragon 865 = Snapdragon XR 2 Gen 1 (Quest 2).
            • Resolution 563 PPI vs 773 PPI (Quest 2)
            • Amoled screen for up to 1200 nits, 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio; LCD screen with poorer blacks (Quest 2)
            • MicroSD upgradable to 1 TB vs internal storage of 128 or 256 GB (Quest 2)

            SLR could upgrade the current implementation of Deo to appeal to users like this.

            1. Deo for Android lacks support for 200 degree SLR Originals. Stuff can be streamed, but streaming isn't the best option for cell phone VR.

            2. Resolution adjustment. Deo VR distorts the image by adding a white line between the display areas. Deo is not compatible with the resolution of S20, so images are distorted for S10 (easy fix for a competent coder).

            3. Deo should add support for multiple language tracks. While this isn't important for SLR videos, it would be helpful for users and is relatively easy to code (with support for multiple subtitles in different languages).

              [deleted] thing is, I can't find the apps at all. Hopefully I didn't overpost by asking in the Haptics thread. I mean I can't find Deo on Google Play. There are a few apk's on pirating sites, but I'm not sure that's a good move. I know I had it in 2020, but that phone is long gone

                  Mike451 deo is not on app stores for a while. The rumor has it it might be coming back within the next few month in its ultimate glory.

                    Am I the only one here that still uses a basic cheap headset with a phone who cares if SLR took away the option to watch this way??? I find that hard to believe l. I paid for my annual subscription based in this being available and they removed it! Why???

                      I'm with you. Disappointed they cut off my only way to watch with no notice. I've already cancelled, contacted support, and have gone elsewhere.

                      I'm not going to buy a dedicated device just for playing VR videos. That's absurd when other sites offer fine content and haven't intentionally removed a feature.

                      I checked back here to see if there was any update but I guess we're just SOL

                          emthrowaway Same boat! I am also currently unwilling to buy a VR device. I'm upset my membership is going to waste at the moment.

                              If they removed your way of using their service and you purchased it based on this feature you should definitely as for your money back. Other similar websites have the VR option.
