Hi!! i just bought my new phone samsung galaxy s7 and tried it out on the samsung gear VR but im having a strange problem that i dont know how to fix...

There is a problem with the perspective and everything looks like in a fish eye lense...

I haven't seen that; but I think the perspective gets messed up if you don't have the usb part set to 'b' for the s7. Just something to check.

edit - 'a' for s7, not b, had it backwards.

yes i think its totally a perspective failure... im using samsung galaxy s7 but the headset is the one that uses samsun galaxy s6 device... i thought it had to work perfect but im getting this trouble and its annoying and dizzy

what you mean with, set "b"? where?

Without your phone in the headset, look at the side your phone goes into. The usb port is actually on a slide mechanism and there will be a green dot near 'a' or 'b' - larger phones need this set to 'b'.

edit - just checked mine - A is for larger, I had it backwards. Use A for the s7, but your old phone might have used b and you need to change it.

Im not using the newest headset, im using the older one... there is not a slider. I know wich one you mean but thats just for the newest headset... may this be the problem? Do i have to use the newest one?

I don't honestly know, but I thought he innovator edition was only for one phone (note 4?). Sorry, I only have the consumer version.

the first headsetwas only for note 4, thats true... but when they release s6, another headset came through.... thats the one im using.
