How can I prevent automatic re-centering when loading a scene on Gear VR?

I am using Unity 5 and OVR utilities, I would like the scene not to be restarted every time I load a new scene. Basically, I would like the player to be able to sit, and even if he is looking at him to the right when a new scene loads, I would like him to continue playing without using any manual re-entry or having to change sitting position. I found 2 more posts with the same question, but only for other VR platforms, and they didn't solve my problem:
