Oculus Go Suggestions Thread / New UserVoice channel for feedback

Moderator Update from @OculusSupport


Hey everyone - Just wanted to jump in here real quick and make a plug for the Oculus UserVoice channel. We recently added an Oculus Go section to the site to better collect and organize all the great feedback that is coming in. If you have an idea or feature request for Oculus Go, leaving it on our UserVoice page is a great way to make your voice heard. Just be sure to take a quick look to see if the idea has been previously submitted! Duplicate ideas result in split votes and make it harder for us to track what the true most requested features are. Thanks in advance and keep the awesome feedback coming!



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Here are some suggestions for the devs if they need ideas for future software features:
-Download manager
I sometimes will have 4-5 things downloading at once but then change my mind after a few minutes and would like to pause the download, see whats been completed, or cancel all at once. Maybe look at STEAM for inspiration on how to do this.

-REMOVE POP UPS
or have a setting to change them. I was mid game of something and I died in game because the popup was covering the targets I was supposed to be hitting. Also I was watching startrek on netflix and a "download complete"  pop up would be stuck on the screen for what seemed like an eternity. Maybe voice to speach "Download Complete" or SOMETHING to remedy this annoying nag screen.

-Dashboard clock
IT would be nice to have a clock somewhere to bring up. If I'm cooking food or something and need to check if ten minutes have gone by or WHATEVER it would be cool to be able to see what time it is. Or to even keep track of the passage of time so I don't spend all fricking night on damn thing lol. BONUS REQUEST: A stop watch or timer. I say this becuase this is a pick up and play device, and if I'm doing laundry or something it would be cool to have something like this. SURE I could use my phone, but if I have my headphones in or something I won't notice, nor do I want to take the headset off to futz around with this.
-Quick Screen Off button
If I'm downloading a ton of stuff, I want to put the headset down. There should be a way to turn the display off but allow background downloading. I'm not sure if it is already doing this, because there is no download manager to keep track of whats going on. A "turn off rift after downloading and installing" mode (like PS3 does) would be cool too.

I appreciate the update that I no longer have to connect the go to the computer to see how much space I have left.

A couple of features I would like to see.
1. A list of storage used per-app, so we can see which apps are using the most storage and either uninstall them or clear their data (see point 2).
2. The ability to clear data for an app, as in regular Android.

Please support USB thumbdrive via OTG cable like how every Android phones support it.

I know this is retro but I would like it to support a wired Ethernet dongle. Just saying, I have my reasons.


yes. it is supported. I am using this adapter with OTG cable https://amzn.to/2NVPXtT

I'm wondering is it possible to lock certain apps with password? You see, I'm sharing this headset with my family members. I would like to restrict access to certain apps that are link to my Facebook (and other) accounts such as Oculus Room, Facebook 360, Facebook Video, etc...

Would you also recommend an OTG cable please?

I forget where I got it. I think any OTG cable is fine.

You can see the OTG cable I'm using at https://forums.oculusvr.com/community/discussion/67732/ethernet-cable-via-xiaomi-usb-to-rj45-ethernet-lan-adapter-works-on-oculus-go

Which OTG cable did you use? Does it also require a power adapter or does it draw power from the Go? I see that there are some Ethernet adapters that have integrated OTG like this one: http://a.co/8F40bto I wonder if that would work also. And then there is the question of will it work with an extension cable so that it isn't hanging down right by your face?

No power adapter. I think it draws power from the go. I can't say for other products. I only tested the one from xiaomi (the same manufacturer of the go). The cable hanging from the side is fine if you are not moving around too much like watching movies or simply use it to download contents while you are not using it.

I agree. Support for USB drive via OTG is essential.
