    Hi all,

    I try to use Handheld.Vibrate(); in Gear VR App but don't work.

    Hi I have the same issue now
    Did you resolve this problem I have tried via Handheld.Vibrate() and via AndroidJavaObject. Do not work in both cases
    Thanks a lot for any reply

    Are you trying to vibrate that handset while it is in the headset?

    Yep and does nothing exept when the gear vr don't detect mi head example:

    When you put the HMD (Head-mounted display) correctly you can hear a sound and the display is turned on. In this case the Vibrate don't work.

    And then If you take out the HMD the vibration is started o_O.

    I guess it seems to be a security restriction of the Gear VR and cellphone.

    According to Oculus, this used to work but may have been disabled by Samsung. That being said, not sure that vibrating a person's head may be the best thing to do which may be why it's disabled?
