VR BOX

As Google cartboard not support on our p8000. Can any one confirm will we able to play game or watch videos on VR headset??

We don't have a gyroscope, so VR stuff won't work.

I've read about this too, but it does require a compass (magnetic sensor) in addtition to the accelerometer, which we don't have :/

Anyone got PiP to work?

So I've seen a list of apps that currently support PIP I'm 8.0 and so far I haven't been able to get any of them to work. I tried Play Movies and then YouTube TV. Both didn't work. I know you need Red for YouTube, but as a subscriber to YouTube TV I would assume that's enough for that app to work.
Anyone else have this feature working for any of the supported apps?

Yes, was able to do it on my original Pixel and now also on my XL 2... You have to be subscribed to YouTube red and have the feature enabled to do picture in picture, with the XL 2 you can also zoom in/expand cropped YouTube videos to full screen. Make sure you have the latest version of the apps too.

You're pressing home correct? Backing out of YouTube has it play in the background.

I am pressing home. I've gotten it to work for Brave browser playing streaming video. But not YouTube TV. I don't have a subscription to YT Red but I am a subscriber to YT TV, so that app should work right? Or do I need to be a subscriber of both?

Not sure if YouTube TV does it but is picture-in-picture allowed in the settings app?

Pixel 2 XL with Daydream View 2017 & Netflix VR

Has anyone tried the Pixel 2 XL and the Daydream View 2017 together yet?
I've got these and they're great, but I can't get the Netflix VR app to work.
The app loads and places you in a log cabin room with a very large TV screen in front of you - but the screen in black - there are no options to do anything.
Looking at the app feedback on Google Play Store, it seems a lot of people have this issue.
I've tried sideloading older versions of the app, but none work.
I was trying to figure out if it's a compatibility issue with Pixel 2 XL , Daydream View 2017, or the app itself.
Feedback I've seen from people with other phones say theirs works fine.

Just decided to try to see if it works for me and i get the same thing

I as well have the same issue. It seems to be the only app for me that doesn't work properly on the Daydream.

It would appear the Netflix VR app isn't fully compatible with Android 8.1 yet.
Awaiting an app update.

There are quite a few apps where 8.1 broke compatability. Netflix, Poker VR and Altspace to name a few.

Netflix finally released an APP update last night (28/01) to resolve the issue.
I've tested and it's working great on my Pixel 2 XL and Daydream VR (2017).
Plex also released a VR version of their app too, so you can stream your collection in VR anywhere.
It even plays 3D movies where you can choose side-by-side or over-under display from within the APP. No messing around.
Things are definitely getting better on the VR world.

Nice! Thanks for the update!

This update fixed the black screen issue, but any dark scene such as inside a bar or dark room is virtually impossible to see. Increasing the display brightness makes no difference. I have the pixel 2 xl, and it only happens with Netflix VR. Anyone else notice this?

Hi, just installed Netflix VR and tried with Daydream 2017. I can browse the titles and start the streaming. But the streaming stops in several seconds, saying "we're having trouble playing this title right now..." and gives an error code. It happens with all content, while the regular NFLX application works fine. Does anyone face the same problem?

Playing a VR Video on Mi Max

I am using a normal Google Cardboard headset with a Mi Max 1 and cannot get any VR video to play properly.
In the cardboard app everything is perfect but in a VR video player like AAA VR Cinema Cardboard 3D SBS the image fills the whole screen and you get double vision regardless of what settings I select. It's meant to pull the configuration from the cardboard app but doesn't seem to be following the layout settings.
Can anyone recommend a VR video app or settings that actually work with the Mi Max?
Thanks

Redmi Note 8 Gyro Stuttering

I've got a Redmi Note 8 (Global version) and its gyroscope is so buggy. Before this, I had a Redmi Note 7 and it had a perfect gyro performance and could run almost all AR games and apps.
But on Redmi Note 8, lots of AR games and apps are not running and those which run on the phone are buggy and stutter all the time when I move the phone. Also, VR Players stutter on any 360 and VR videos when I move the phone.
I've also calibrated gyro and accelerator from FQC Test but that did not help.
I could not install Google play services for AR from google play too, because it says the app is not compatible with my phone.
Does anyone have the same problem with the gyroscope on Redmi Note 8?

I had this problem before so here we go
Go to setting->about phone--> all specs--> press on kernel version seven times --> it will open another page -> search about gyroscope open it and place your phone on a table thin press calibration
And I hope it works for you .. and sorry if my English is bad

Thanks for your reply but as I said in my post I've calibrated gyro and accelerator from FQC Test on an even table, but that did not help.
Gyro stutters when moving the phone around.
Is it possible to be a hardware issue?

If anyone is using gyro on Redmi Note 8 without any problem, please say that what app or game you are using. I want to test on my phone.
Thank you in advance

which app or game u are facing problem, i will try that in my phone

These are all app/games which I've installed and no one works properly.
Lots of games/ apps need to have ARCore installed (Google play services for AR) but google play store says "Your Device is not compatible with this version" and I can't install it.
These are some of Games/Apps which use ARCore:
AR toys
AR PLAN 3D
PAINT DRAW AR
These Games/Apps do not need ARCore so they can run but the models are not stable at all, they are so shaky and vibrate all the time and if you move the phone, they lose their place.
On Redmi Note 7. models were stable and I could move around models and watch them from every angle!
UniteAR
ARLoopa
AR CAR SHOWCASW
DEVAR < This is terrible, it cant even find right place to spawn models
argument
roomel
Also On VR Video Player like "360 VR Pro" (360 VR by appxone) when I move the phone, Video moves with stutters like having lag. Do you know a good player without this problem? Can you install ARCore (Google play services for AR) on your Redmi Note 8? Do you have the same problem with the above-mentioned app/games on Redmi Note 8 or do you know a fine game or app that runs properly?

ARCore is still not supported by RN8, like RN7 it will probably take some time for it to be supported.

Would you please try one or a couple of the apps I mentioned above?
