How is it stopping you?

When you go to click on the media content, it displays a message saying something along the lines of "This content uses a lot of data and requires a wifi connection". Something like that.

I have the 32GB model of S6, its got limited space and having to copy content over is no use for me.

I kept myself subscribed to this thread because it was reminding me to send it back before 9th March. I took it to the Post Office today. Considering I paid around £82 and you guys got it for €49, it really sealed the deal in making me send it back.

Pretty sure it just says it recommends you use a wifi connection...

Yeah the Filmon app and a load of others do the same thing, Ive never heard of one actually stopping you, its always just a warning before ou proceed.

Will wearing glasses using this cause an issue? is it even possible?

100% sure it wouldnt let me. I didnt download a load of apps in truth. I used the Oculus software, and the cinema thing. Some things offer a warning and suggest using wifi, but you can proceed with mobile data, but the movie content, the clips required a wifi connection. To try it out I had to get my OH to create a wifi hotspot on her mobile so I could use her 4G connection.

Just checked my card and I have been charged twice for my Headset. 29th of Feb and then again on the 2nd March. I went into my orders on vodafone, and it shows two orders (It's an error - I only ordered one). I'll wait until Monday to complain, but if the second one arrives before hand, ill happily sell for (49) to anyone here....instead of the effort of returning it. (for collection in d6 or d8) or u can pay for delivery!!

If either of you get 2, I will gladly take one off you. Only got paid and now they're not available anymore!

Package disabler pro from the play store. It's a paid app, I was too lazy to look for something similar in a free app.

Sorry, should have said.
Not the Oculus ones, just "Gear VR Service"

Get onto someone in Samsung Ireland through Twitter or FB and you'll probably blag one, include pics of the app and other stuff like that.

One huge pathetic joke with this headset is that the vast majority of the content, especially streaming movies etc is only done over wifi. It will not allow me to stream over my 4G connection. As I only have a 4G connection as there is no ADSL on my local exchange, it means I cannot use most of the stuff. I should be able to use 4g if I want.

Throw your sim into some old ****ty smart phone and use it to tether the data through wifi?
