confirmed lag on Gear VR for S6 Tweet

[gabrielefx]

I'm experiencing lags and flashes watching Orbx renders or Oculus 360 stories with Samsung Galaxy S6 and Gear VR.
It happens only watching huge images, doesn't happen with games or videos.
Do I need to install a Titan X inside my smartphone?
Some people at Oculus forum are posting the same issue.
I understand that this not the right place here to post bugs about the Samsung hardware (firmware) but I think that working with the developers we can help them to create the best vr experience for the users.
Probably someone at Samsung and Oculus is reading our posts.
Fingers crossed.

We haven't seen this. Can you share the links where this is being reported? Is this only in our app or the oculus 360 photos app too?

I posted this issue on the Oculus forum.
Watching photos with the Oculus app or renders with the Orbx player the image stucks for few milliseconds when moving the head, the navigation is not smooth. This issue happens randomly.
I don't know if it's a gyroscope problem but videos or games are fluid.

was having this issue with note4 and gearVR1 and solved it by turning off "power saving mode"

Now they all play smooth

power saving is off by default on my S6
