I recently picked up a OQ2 because samsung stopped supporting the Rift that I had which I absolutely loved. The OQ2 is fine ... but I doesn't seem to be able to do any of the things that the Rift could because the Rift really worked off of the phone and the OQ2 is kind of just ... so meh. How can I do the following things that I would easily and without effort do in the Rift?
Thanks for the help ... this OQ2 is NOT a friendly device, especially if you are new to them. I so much more preferred the Rift.

The rift works with a pc note a smartphone, so i assume you mean the gear or go?
The oq2 is a friendly device, after you get to know it.
I also think your confusing a lot of stuff together.
So to better help can you assure the rift connected to mobile phone?

The oculus rift for samsung gear vr ... this was awesome and easy to use. It makes the OQ2 look like a 36 speed 3 gear box tractor trailer compared to an easy to drive automatic caddy. It does nothing that the rift did. Pic below.

that is not a rift, that is a gear vr. that is a pos system that is not even capable of oq2 capability.

well I won't believe that at all until you can explain how your omega state of the art OC2 can do the same silly little POS stuff that the gear did.

Lets see
Use it to play titles such as beat saber, hyper dash, top golf, population one, running at near 4k and 90 hz refresh rate.
Connect it to computer and access steam vr, and oculus rift titles
Use a router and wireless pvcr
Put virtual desktop on the oq2, and the stream app on your pc and you can basically control your pc.

I don't really care about playing the little wii games on it ... but I'd like to hear more about "Put virtual desktop on the oq2, and the stream app on your pc and you can basically control your pc." This sounds like I can use an actual computer to play movies/stream vids and watch them on the OQ2. Can you explain what I need to do that?

Little wii games LOL.
But virtual desktop is easy.

use the above link to purchase the app and the below link to install the client app on the pc
the stremaer app is required for the pc to talk to the headset. Everything will stream wireless via wifi with the router plugged to the pc.

That's helpful. Do I need the "Oculus Link Virtual Reality Headset Cable for Quest 2 and Quest - 16FT (5M) - PC VR" for anything? What does that do?

the link cable works with oculus app on the pc.
Its useful but not worth the 80 dollars. The virtual desktop is a better value. Virtual desktop can run oculus pc games wirelessly through virtual desktop.
The link cable just turns the quest 2 into a rift s used with a cpu.
