Just got an OTA update for my active. Im on an unlocked s4 active in the uk.
Thought it was 4.3. The description said it was for Galaxy Gear support.
So still on 4.2.2. with a working gear. Im on the latest null rom too.
I wonder if other s4 variants or galaxy devices are getting this.
My gear just started working

Yes I just got a 56 Mb update and suddenly my gear is working - Bottler beaut mate!!!! Its only because my phone came with a build from Yemen (Ebay grey) and half the apps were not in English, because the Oz version of the rom I downloaded did not cook properly I decided to download the SE Asia version and within minutes I had an update from 4.22 to 4.22 which I thought was strange but I decided to try and set up my gear again, call it a hunch but bingo I have a working gear that I can upload clocks and apps etc, talk about perfect timing I have just sold my Note 3 and though the gear would be stored for a few month because we in OZ are the bottom of the food chain for Samsung, and then with controlling telcos like Telstra it would be 6 months or more before we would have had an update .:laugh:
I use S4 mini dual sim i9192 and I got the compatibility in December last year...

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know when Gear VR is going to launch in india?
Also can anyone tell me if i purchase a Gear VR from US will it work with my indian Note 4?..
I am Desperate to have this device.
Regards,
Kris.
Hi Kris,
There is no launch date for any region outside the US though Aus and UK are rumoured to be Jan 2015.
To use GearVR you need a firmware update from Samsung. To check if you have it, download the Oculus mobile SDK and install one of the APKs. When you run one for the first time it will try to install the GearVR app. If that succeed you're good to go order from the US! If it tells you that you need an update then you're at the mercy of Samsung and/or your carrier depending on what version of the note4 you have and if it's network locked.

Actually the "create a nova activities shortcut of gear vr setup wizard" method works fine here with the indian note 4.it downloads and installs the oculus app which runs fine and i can see the market. Imo it should mean that gear vr ll work fine here.

Hi, I have a UK EE Samsung note 4 as well and really cant wait till UK Samsung decide to sell the gear VR. I installed the latest update Thursday. Has anyone tried a non US phone on the gear VR yet, I've been so close to ordering one off EBAY but still put back by having no warranty and if it will work or not.

super excited for its Indian launch but it's surely not coming December but probably January end if it's coming then we will get ota update around 2 weeks before so we can make it still time but yes I am excited and also patient rather than going to by any unofficial way

If you can run the Oculus home app and not get a warning popup about requiring an update you're ready to use the GearVR.
Exynos handset owners are screwed at minute and receiving no support or communication from Samsung or Oculus.

Does Any body have information when its going to launch in India!!!
Oculus Gear vr works in India
If you have a Note 4 (Snapdragon SM-910G) in India. You are good to go ahead and run the Oculus that is available in USA or elsewhere.
I got mine yesterday and it works. This is an awesome product..
Gear vr support is not in the stock Indian kernel. You have to run a customer kernel for it to function

Hi all,
I have an unlocked international snapdragon Note 4 (N910F), and already installed all Oculus apps. SW version ANK4. Will I have issues running the Gear VR?
Please someone with same device or similar experience help me out with this question. I have a VR on its way, but still a week before arrival.
Thanks a lot in advance!

I have the same european Note 4 and the Gear VR is on its way to me but since today i have found two people with the same setup who confirmed that the Gear VR works with it, so we should be hopefully fine.

I have an SM-N910F, which was not working on my old firmware. I just upgraded it to the N910FXXU1ANK4 firmware. It now works with my Gear VR!

Yep you need the Update ANK4 for it to work but that update is already since around 4 weeks in Germany, Poland and some other countries available, so we should be fine.
No success to work the Oculus vr with my Note 4
Hi guys,i have the Note 4 model N910F with the BasebandVersion ANK5 and doesn't work with my Oculus Vr Innovator edition .
If you have any suggestion to work it out i'm all ears!
Thanx!!!
Hello, I have done some research and I have realised that the Note 2 is the same as the S3 LTE (Correct me if i'm wrong).
This Galaxy Note 2 is getting updated to Lollipop, if that is the case, then why is the i9305 not getting updated...
Samsung have already said the Original S3 cannot be updated to Lollipop as it only has 1GB, while the S3 LTE has 2GB RAM, the Note 2 with also 2GB RAM. What is suprising is that the S4 Mini and S5 Mini has 1.5GB RAM and they have both been confirmed to be updated to Lollipop.
Is this something that only I am seeing? If other phones with 1.5GB RAM get the update, surely the S3 LTE should as well.
Thanks.
Personally I like 4.4.4 much more than 5.1. Kudos to Samsung for bringing even 4.4.4 to an rather old device like S3 LTE.

even if it doesnt come to s3 lte, becuase the note 2 and s3 lte are basicly the same, the rom can be ported over
Yes, Samsung deserve recognition for even bothering to update the S3 LTE, but it does seem a bit stupid not to release Lollipop for the i9305 when the Note 2 is getting updated.

With Samsung tho there is not concrete proof that they will release something until they actually release it

I would be very surprised if either device was updated to lollipop. It doesn't make sense from a business point of view to invest in two old devices when their priority would have to be giving customers incentive to upgrade to newer ones

Samsung have confirmed that the Note 2 and the Note 2 LTE is going to get updated to 5.0.1, either way it is good as hopefully it can be ported over to our i9305.
S6 Edge Plus + New GearVR = Does not load software
ATT
There is an AT&T firmware update for the Note 5 and the S6 Edge plus. If you can, see if there's something waiting in System Update.
I have the same problem on my Note 5 but since I'm in England, so far I'm out of luck. If you can update and it works, please let us know.
Not sure if you have resolved this yet but I had the same problem. For me it was because I had used Package Disabler and had disabled com.facebook.system. Once I re-enabled that, tha apps all installed fine. I found this from someone elses post in another forum I think. Good luck.

easy solution is to go to samfirmware and download the latest available rom for your model.
Worked for me. Using S6 Edge+ from Bell Canada
A new update has released today .
The Galaxy Watch Active 2 and the Galaxy Watch 3 have started getting a new software update with a download size of around 49MB. The latest update seems to improve the icons for auto walking, auto running, and inactive alerts as per the official changelog. The new software, which is based on Tizen OS 5.5.0.2, also improves the device stability of the two smartwatches.
The latest software update for the Galaxy Watch Active 2 bears firmware version R820XXU1DUE3, while the Galaxy Watch 3 has firmware version R840XXU1BUE3. The updates are now available for Samsung’s Galaxy smartwatches in the US, and we expect the rollout to expand to more countries in the following days.
Nothing received in France for the moment in XEF
I got the update yesterday, CSC = PHE
