Don’t you hate getting the Samsung Gear VR overheat message when
you are in the middle of your VR experience? Well, I absolutely cannot stand
it.
So, I set out to search for all the ways I could delay the overheating
process (since prevention is not an option).
Though, not pleasing, your screen may have the irritating overheating
message more frequently than you want.
In this nifty little guide, I have compiled all tricks and tips for you
(with pro tips as a bonus!!) to make sure that you never have to go through the
overheating situation in the middle of a game again.
With so many methods listed here, why not try out which method works for
you!
What Will You Need?
You will need the following things along with your Samsung phone, Gear
VR headset, and charger:
·
Standard size aluminum foil for heat
sink
·
Electrical tape and scissors
·
Cooling gel pack
Before You Start the VR
Here is all you need to do to get started.
1. What is your
Battery Level?
Using VR for more extended periods will end up draining your phone
battery. Many people charge their phone while using VR but that overheats the
phone beyond recommended temperatures, especially in case of quick chargers.
The reason is that you are already accessing graphical intensive
applications on your phone and also heating it through charging.
·
Charge your phone before jumping into
Virtual Reality.
2. Try Out New Apps
Before VR
You may want to try out new apps or games to play during your VR.
Download the apps before you insert the phone in the headset. Doing this will
give you more playtime and also keep your phone cooler during the VR.
