I probably just never noticed it but did AT&T add AT&T Locker to the Moto X when I installed my camera update? I swear when I got the phone the only 2 bloatware apps were Address Book and Visual Voicemail....am I going nuts?

Yep.
But even with that addition, the only phone AT&T sells with less crap on it is an iPhone.
Ok cool. I disabled it but I could have sworn that I had already disabled everything that came on the phone then I saw that today and i was like whaaat?
att locker gives 50 gigs of free storage. might be worth it to keep it.
AT&T already knows enough about me I don't want even the possibility of them having access to anything else of mine
agreed. I only store media there.
This will be my first time buying a device on the play store and I was wondering how does device protection/insurance work in case of drops etc.
I do not think Google offers a plan, but i might wrong. I do not think I have ever seen one so it might be up to u to find one from a third party that you want.

Don't think they'll offer this for the N6
All I find online is that the Gear VR is only compatible with the Note 4. Does that mean any carrier's Note 4, or only AT&T, since they're the only ones who are also selling the device?
Is compatibility ready out of the box, or does it need a specific update?
More specifically, how's compatibility with the T-Mobile Note 4?
Website says only verizon is no go until update

What website? Could you please provide a link?
Man I am in Canada on bell and ordered one of these right when they came out because I really want one and they won't be selling in Canada like the gear circle which I had to order in the usa as well. Have to pay shipping to canada to ship it from the mail forwarding company I use, I really really hope it works or that's going to be roughly $275 collecting dust. I love Samsung and everything in my house is Samsung but this really pissed me off that somehow a carrier has to be involved with a vr headset.

im in the same boat, should have mine tomorrow, in on telus though, rooted and running a tmobile based rom and custom kernel so who knows, ill keep you posted
Yours should work then as long as it's a t-mobile rom with the latest firmware, I on the other hand stopped rooting and all that last year so I hope it works. I think it was only verizon that wasn't working but they released the update pretty quick which I hear is rare for them lol. Worst case I will have to wait till January when Bell hopefully releases the lollipop update which should no dought include compatibility with the gear vr!

Sadly, i have mine being shipped to Buffalo and ready for pickup next week. Knowing what we know, I'm no longer in a rush to pick it up.
Anyway, I'll keep an eye on your findings. Thanks!
Worse case,,,,maybe post it for sale?

i cant get it to work, get everything installed and all i see is a bluescreen, its the occulus homescreen but blank, none of the apps, flashed stock tmobile fw and the stockish starkiss kernel to avoid the bootloops but nada.
Not good news so far, I should have mine on Monday or Tuesday and I am on bell with no mods or anything so we will see how that goes and I will report back. Like I said though worst case the lollipop update should have the required files.
Well, got my gear vr and went to try it, put SD card in then put phone into headset and was told to take it out to finish installing the software and It did but then said I needed to update my phone. Any ideas? Bell mobility stock and not rooted or anything. Not looking good for us Canadians, maybe if we can get a hold of the gear vr manager apk!

Brutal. I'll need to decide whether to leave it in the box and sell it, or hold out for the updates. BTW, I read in another forum that once the note 4 gets lollipop, it'll full support the VR. Any truth behind that?

I said that and I am only assuming it will, would be kinda dumb to put out a major update then have to put out a small one just for the vr. I got mine to work by rooting and using the dk 3.0 rom for t-mobile with the ael kernel. Would have liked to stay stock but sometimes you have to do what you have to do when you don't want to stare at a useless box on your coffee table!
Rom help for Gear VR
HI there. I am new here. I thank you all for the work people put into the Roms and making all 4 of my notes a much more enjoyable product.
I have some questions if someone who knows could please answer them for me as I am left a bit confused with everything I have read.
1. I am in Australia and everytime I load up the Gear VR, or actually the Oculus apps, it says I need to update. I know I can not do this yet so I would like to know if there is a rom I can use?
2. I didnt want to root this note 4 just yet but I will. Is there a way to root it without tripping knox?
3. What is the best way to root it and what do I use? I have used odin many times, but what md5 file should i use for note 4?
4. Can someone please point me to a link of some firmware that I can put on my note 4 that will straight away mean I have the update to use the GEAR VR on my note 4?
Currently when I download the Oculus mobile sdk, each time i try to load an app from it up, it tells me i need the latest update, but then my phone says it has the latest update.
So obviously need to root and load a rom in that will work. I really have always like the x-note rom for note 3, so is there one that will let me use gear vr that is on its way or is there any firmware i can use?
I'm under the impression there must be a rom that allows the gear vr to work.
If someone could help me please get my gear vr working would be great. I have downloaded Vanguard V and that works on my phone, but there is no oculus home, only oculus cinema and others.
Thanks
Please help
Please can someone help me here. The person who writes the post that allows me to follow and i end up with my note 4 being able to work in my Gear VR, I will personally buy them a "RidgeWallet" of their choice. You can google the item and choose one you want me to buy you. I offer this item only because I got one myself and think they are superb and I think it is a great gift to give to someone who makes it so my Gear VR works for my nephews christmas day
Just so you guys know, when you decompile the oculus home and oculus horizon apk. It says the supported models are SM-N910A , SM-N910F, SM-N910C, but we all know it works on the SM-N910T as well. So who knows what there basing support on at this time. Had anyone else dug around in the code?

What version of the Note do you have. If you have the N910G you should be able to get it to work, but you need to flash the ANK3 firmware.
I am still waiting on my GVR (bloody AusPost...) but this is what I did to get ANK3 firmware on my Aussie N910G. I now have the Oculus app and have downloaded all the VR games already
Go to Sammobile, I cant post the direct link but you want the search for N910G, XSA model
Download the November 2014 firmware, ending in ANK3
Follow the instructions on Sammobile for downloading and using Odin to flash your firmware, these instructions show up after you click the download link. Its pretty straighforward
Phone will restart and install the new firmware
you should then be able to plug the phone into the GVR and it will install the app and any required updates.
The XSA model is the generic Australian model (my phone is a Telstra branded phone). You should have no problems if you have the N910G model. If you have an N910U then you are out of luck as that is the Exynos version.
FYI you can check the model number by looking at "about device" under settings.
Let me know if you have problems. This was the first time I ever flashed a phone firmware so you should be ok. I would be interested to know if, after the update your GVR does acctually work.
Cheers,
Luke
Thanks Luke. I am same as you. Telstra with 910g. I will give it a go and get back to you.
Thanks for replying. Take me up on my offer if you like.

So on Sam mobile it appears to have Optus and Vodafone december firmware. Ending with ANK3. Do you think this will ahve the update i need? and why does telstra not have it for FFS? I wouldnt have to root my phone then as I am on that free new phone feeling and instant replacement plan.
I have been trying to search for an answer, but have yet to find one. Not sure if I am jus searching for the wrong terms or something. However I had an S3 and now I have an S6. I got gear manger on the S6, but what will happen to my watch once I connect it? Will all my apps etc still be in the account or will I have to download everything again? If so is there anyway I can do some sort of backup and restore to get everything the way it was on my S6?
Apps redownload. Doesn't take long. After a rom flash takes me 10 minutes to set my watch back up.

Not sure why I didn't get alerted for this, but thanks for the response. I ended up being forced to reset it and start over with my new phone. Huge mistake as for some reason half the apps I liked are missing in the Gear store. I assume kitkat vs new lollipop has different stores or something. Very unfortunate.

For me it said do you want to pair the watch and when I said yes it told me I had to reset everything on the watch. I did that and it was a brand new watch with everything gone. Nothing in Samsung store either. Worst is most apps that I had aren't even in the store to re-download. Maybe it's an S6 thing or something.

I found out that Liaow doesn’t have a return policy so, that means I won’t be buying from them. It’s not that I plan on returning the phone but, I don’t want anyone opening my phone but me. I can add the google playstore all by myself. But they say they do this to inspect the phone. I don’t like it.
