How do I disable the Volume Display?

Hi Guys,

I recently submitted my app to oculus store and the rejected it.
One of their reason is "Your volume buttons must adjust the volume using the VR volume UI provided by the Oculus Mobile SDK. ".



For some reason, if I were to increase of decrease volume. When this UI appear, it will freeze the GearVR screen.

I couldn't find any code in Unity Documentation though, or I missed it somewhere.
Any way to disable the Volume UI of Android or to solve this issue?

Regards,
Gibbie

I am not aware of a way to suppress that 2D overlay, but it should nlt be appearing in VR. Does that still appear in the Gear VR headset? It looks like you are already using the regular volume indicator, which is what the message was referring to.

Yeah it appears even when I insert my phone to the app. What do you guys mean by " Your volume buttons must adjust the volume using the VR volume UI provided by the Oculus Mobile SDK." could you please elaborate more from the submission team? Because I am not 100% sure what they mean.

The 2D overlay is probably there because your phone is in developer mode. Please turn that off as described here.

That is more of a guideline for people on VRAPI 1.0.1 and earlier, where there wasn't a built-in volume indicator. You can ignore it.
