Hey there, I purchased this phone a few months ago and since galaxy gear was launched I was wondering if I could use it as where I live it's common to see phones being stolen when somebody sees you are using the phone while driving. However according to what I found the galaxy great won't be compatible with my phone. So is there another smart watch compatible with our phone? thanks in advance

as far as i know it could work with gear and even with sony smartwartches....
Actually my friend said the samsung gear would work on any samsung galaxy phones. But Samsung says its intended just for the Note 3.

I have two Galaxy Note 3's now. Can the Gear be connected to both at the sametime?

wow 2 note 3's you're the man :good::good::laugh:
how i wish there was a gear here
I tried with Note 3 and S4 but Galaxy Gear cannot connect to 2 phones at the same time, only one.
And when you are switching phones, the Gear does a factory reset to itself before connecting the "new" phone.

This really annoys me, it's like an Apple sync device. I wish it didn't do that.
How about between a note 3 and the note 10.1? Actually u guess the tab would have to be on 4.3 anyways right?
Solutions ?
Hi
i' ve Note3 and NotePRO...have you find a solution ?
Hi all,
Is anyone using a gear watch with a note one (n7000) and if you are have you found a custom rom that works with gear manager (so notifications are received on the watch)?
If not can someone point me in the right direction. Gear manager requires Android 4.3+ and touchwiz to work.
The reason I ask is I have a gear watch but I have lost my note 2 :crying: (no insurance) and cant afford to replace it just yet so I am using a note 1 until I can afford an upgrade to a note 3. I have searched this forum and the gear forum but cant see any mention of a note one and gear being used together.
Any advise will be appreciated.
Thanks
Richard
Hi i have been searching everywhere for this answer. Do you think the note edge will be compatible with the upcoming gear vr? I know it says only compatible with note 4 but the specs are identical and dimensions are similar... The only reason it mite not work that I can think of is if the gear vr uses the note 4 screen fully ie 100% then the edge part would be an issue.

The Note Edge will not work in Gear VR; period!

Sadly, works only with Note 4.
Resurrecting an old thread. Has anyone else tried?
From this review:
http://gizmodo.com/samsung-gear-vr-review-hell-yes-i-will-strap-this-phon-1670312012
"It's worth noting here that while Samsung has pointedly said that you're not supposed to try and fit the Galaxy Note Edge in here, you totally can. I mean, it doesn't "fit" in the conventional sense, but I've crammed it in a few times without breaking anything (yet). The problem is that the Note Edge doesn't launch the Oculus app when you plug it in. I'm sure there's probably some workaround but it probably involves black magic. Or at least root access."
Read this too when it first came out and was wondering the same thing, such a tease.
Hi
I have a samsung galaxy s5 and my uncle gave me a gear vr, but I saw that it doesn't support the s5, and I was wondering if someone here knows how to fix it?
Is it possible to use all of the touch and buttons of the gear vr with the s5?
Thank you very much
I'm pretty sure that you can tell the device it's an S6 or S7 and it'll work with the Gear VR, if it even fits into the headset.

I think there are apps that let you do this, though obviously requiring root access. You can also look for S6 roms for the S5 as ik those exist. With that, you'd be getting a different experience plus the ability to use gear vr.
I think one problem you might run into is the S5 screen resolution. All the devices that work on the Gear VR are 2560x1440, where as the S5 is 1920x1080.

it works and i doesent work
i have managed to get the software installed using a ported room from note5, the problem is that the pnoe is not recognised when when i pluged it in the gear vr nothing happens, i can use the apps if i enable developer mode. I wish someone will manage to make it work or tell us how to make it work so the phone gets recognised so we can use the buttons on gear vr properly and not having to take the phone out and touch the screen everytime.
