Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge

[illusion87]

Hey, just wondering but the s7 was announced today (sunday) and released on March 11. Will fido be getting it and if so will we be able to pre-order? At rogers apparently you can pre-order on Feb 23 and you'll get a free samsung vr . Also what will pricing be on certain plans?

hello all,

does the six (6) game Oculus content bundle only including the games? i mean does is including the VR gear?

please advise.

thank you

[FidoTerry]

@yesmanhk The games are not included with the VR gear and was a promotional offer at launch. 

[illusion87]

I don't believe so as it needs the phones imei with that form. Unless there's another way. And fido or samsung should honor the deal if you pre-ordered and still haven't gotten your phone on time. It's a waiting game I guess.

[illusion87]

It's a new phone with nothing on it. I shouldn't have to restart it with nothing on it.

I can confirm this works, was able to register and was sent my codes to redeem the above mentioned games.

Thanks Kasp3r

What am I supposed to upload a picture of? It doesn't seem to work unless I upload some file

[FidoMaria]

@SlavD there doesn't seem to be a specific image that you need to upload. @Kasp3r simply uploaded a pic of his cat and it worked for him.

[SlavD]

Awesome, that worked, got a code in the email.

Next stupid question: how to get the Oculus App/Store? In the fine print it says to open Oculus App, go to Oculus Store, create accound and reedeem there. But my S7 did not come with an Oculus app. Nor was I able to find any official "Oculus" anything on the Google Play store.

Will this Oculus App install automatically when I receive the VR headset?

Thank you

[FidoTerry]

Hey @SlavD,

You will be able to access it once go on the Gear VR home screen. You will then need to point on it and select it. You can find more info on it by clicking here. Hope this helps!

[Fido972]

What will happen to the people that did no receive their phone yet? They won't be able to get it in time to redeem the games that comes with the oculus ? 

[FidoTerry]

Once the promotion ends, it won't be possible to reclaim the games. Samsung will have more info on that however.

[Fido972]

Is there any way I can claim the games even though I haven't receive the phone yet ? I'm still position 4 in line for my reserve phone.

Hey @Fido972,

This promotion was run by Samsung and not Fido, you should get a hold of them to confirm what can be done.

[SlavD]

Got my Gear VR today, woohoo!

[FidoTerry]

Awesome to hear SlavD.  

[FidoMaria]

@serag I'm glad it worked!

@Kasp3r Thanks for sharing this info with the Community.

[illusion87]

Also is there any one else with the s7 experiencing screen issues such as swiping left or right but the screen up up or down and had their phone froze for like 5-10 mins and the restarts phone completely?

[FidoRachel]

Hey @illusion87, have you tried a factory reset? 

[illusion87]

I hope you find out this answer soon because I remember reading this offer expires on March 31st 2016.
