I would like to be able to access the camera roll without internet. One of my primary GO uses is to view 360 degree photos I take while travelling (Samsung Gear 360), and I often do not have internet.
Currently you cannot launch the Oculus app (required to access camera roll) without an internet connection. It wants to "start fresh" in this case. If there could be an option to allow non-store functions (like accessing camera roll, and possibly device settings) when there is no internet connection, that would be very useful.
A bonus would be if the app could create a wifi hotspot for sharing the camera roll, as otherwise you would need a separate travel router to make a connection between the phone and the GO.
If this is too much to add to the existing app, a separate app for just this (share camera roll via wifi hotspot) would also solve the problem nicely.
I've tried 3rd party DLNA servers, but the GO does not see the photos as 360, displaying them as distorted 2D instead. You also cannot see previews which makes negotiating a large folder of photos difficult.
I want to watch Netflix and pull up a phone app and make a call while still continue watching the movie. I want to listen to music while looking through the Oculus store. I want to multitask.

The Dropbox list of files doesn’t seem to be in any kind of order, just a scrolling album view of folders and files. Make it a normal detailed list and allow us to sort it via alpha/numeric, date, etc.
Allow us to indicate to the Oculus Go that the battery we’re using is. Rechargeable Lithium-Ion or non-rechargeable battery for proper percentages to show.
When my controller runs of battery I would like to use the pointer on screen and device buttons as it happens when you need to turn off the device. It would be useful for navigating through the options without the need of the controller, for multimedia and else.
1. The intro when turning on the device can be more 3D, to give the effect to be entering a tunnel or something as it happens in Ready Player One.
2. Instead of the home screen would be really really cool entering the oculus room instead. The avatar can be part of the setup for new users and entering a new world would be more inmersive than a fixed screen and the home screen can still be there in a corner to access it.
Also, this is off topic for this discussion. Please be more circumspect in the future.

Could you combine the Oculus Rooms and Oculus TV Apps into one?
In a future device, or maybe in this device, support a hand tracking module like the Leap Motion or uSens Fingo. Then integrate hand controls for the interface and apps. More importantly, make apps such as Messenger and maybe an email app available, since we could type much more easily.
VR Desktop app.
Thanks!!

For those who asked how to use Alexa: I believe you are overthinking it, he isn't using Alexa through his VR headset, rather, he is using it while it is in the same room as him since Alexa is used via voice prompts you can ask Alexa to set a timer while you are using your headset.
On the next generation GO, please make elevated points on the buttons, easy to find using the finger tips.
The next generation has a built in hand tracking device such as the Leap Motion or uSens Fingo (which works on mobile devices). Once that is in place, and I can type natively in the environment, I would almost never have to take the device off. Of course, a more robust battery would be necessary (if you can make the battery easy to swap out with another it would further ease extended use)
Ability to use messenger in-world to make calls, face to face meetings, or simply text once that functionality is built in.
Have 3 options for Oculus Rooms - the personal space that is already in place (and is fantastic, btw), a space for students (virtual desktop with access to Google Docs or similar) as well as easily accessible educational apps, and a third space that is an office, also customized for such an use (remote desktop screen to drop in on your home computer).
Access to an online space with your music files, audio books, digital books, etc, to expand the Oculus Room experience to all your media consumption types.
A common area that you can visit with others, like a mall. This area would need to be a mixture of retail and entertainment space, as well as possibly services. The kids of things you could have, in collaboration with partners, are digital music and book stores, with storefronts, the ability to virtually check out and even drive cars from participating manufacturers, maybe the ability to watch a movie in more of a communal space, common areas to sit and talk and socialize, and places to go play VR games - all arranged in a more familiar mall type setting.
I have other ideas but these are some of the biggies. Again, great work team!
Can't understand why this isn't possible.. . Would increase your sales Oculus!!.
