Im not really a good expert in this but d955 is for european region only. My quess is that our and your lte bands are different. Im in the UK with d955 stock 4.4.2 and lte works no problems. You should check with you current provider and see if you phone works on thier network. Sorry if cant help any further.

Have you updated your AVH-4100NEXto version 1.03?
This firmware version from Pioneer provided more support for Android phones.
As for your phone, Google only shows LG G3 on Verizon Wireless as not being supported.

Got my Gear VR yesterday from T-mobile, went to set it up on my Note 5 N9200, when the setup wizard opens, I hit next, the wizard tries to connect to the servers then returns the following error:
Error Occurred.
Network Error.
I spent all day on the line with Samsung support, they kept dropping my call, and finally told me to go to a Samsung experience center at Best Buy. Does anyone know how to correct this?
I have the same problem. Only thought is that my Note 5 is from Hong Kong so may be on a different firmware than US phones - hence the network error issue. Please let us know if you find a solution!

Mine is also from HK, assuming you also have an N9200? I really hope Samsung did not region-lock an accessory, that would be really horrible for early adopters...

Yeah, the N9200. I opened up a support ticket to Oculus on this matter too. I don't think it's necessarily region locking, I think it's just they haven't pushed out the firmware for the HK phones to enable us to download oculus home.
Trying to figure out if there is any way to sideload the oculus home application but there's not much info out there since the new gear VR just came out a few days ago. Ugh, I was so excited to use it and then this...
Update
So, I thought I would give everyone a quick update, as I noticed there are people on a number of forums experiencing this issue. I spoke with Oculus, Samsung Hong Kong, and Samsung US (listed in order of helpfulness).
I learned that in spite of having Gear VR services, set up wizard, and other related software preloaded, the SM-N9200 still needs an update to set up Gear VR. Samsung Hong Kong claimed they did not know of any plans to release Gear VR in Hong Kong, which means anybody who bought an SM-N9200 likely just wasted 99.99 USD. Samsung's US support team knew nothing and was incredibly unhelpful, I'll leave it at that.
I'm very disappointed Samsung is maintaining a 1990's US carrier mindset, assuming we do not live in a connected world, and people would not purchase phones from other regions where they frequently travel. The HK version of the SM-N9200 is the only way for one to own a Note 5 and still have access to TD-LTE networks when they travel to China, as well as Google Services when outside of China, all without rooting.
I really hope Samsung stops punishing US-based SM-N9200 users for their loyalty, and pushes the update out to us ASAP.

Well, that's a huge bummer. Time to return this $99 paperweight.
Wow, what a disappointment. Forgive my ignorance but there is no way to extract what we need from someone that has a U.S. note 5 and side load it?
I have the SM-N9200 , and I've managed to get the Oculus store installed but trying to launch anything brings me right back to the set up wizard.

I'm sure there is, just a matter of time. Know anybody with a US Note 5 willing to help?

I've been looking to see if it's possible to install a custom rom that supports gear vr, but no custom roms for the 9200. At this point, I'm almost leaning towards selling my 9200 and buying an unlocked 920L or 920C...

That's fine if you don't need TD-LTE, still not optimal though. I reckon sometime after thanksgiving the files will make there way to the internet and we can stick it to Samsung.

Actually, 9200 is the same model they sell in mainland china so I can't imagine them leaving that entire massive market. Let's hope a solution comes up soon.
I have a n920w8 and there's not even Gear VR in my list of apps in "application manager". Need some help.

What you can try doing is download the oculus mobile SDK from here:
https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/
Then copy the oculus cinema apk over to your phone and install it. When you run that app, it should trigger the oculus installation wizard. That's where I get stuck though, it just goes into a "Network Error" loop for me when I try to progress but maybe you'll have more luck with your model.
Noted, I'll give this a try. If that network error loop is the same one you were getting before, then I wonder if Samsung's servers are actually detecting and blocking devices based on model number? Samsung is really worse than Apple about this stuff...

Most likely they are trying to download some low-level software based on the model number and there is nothing listed for our model - hence the "network error" message. Hopefully someone can share the required apk that we need for the fundamental software.
Anyone had any luck getting this working?

Nope, sadly I've been too busy to tinker around with this. Pretty much just waiting for an update or hoping somebody magically posts the correct software online...
Does anyone try to root their phone and change the build.prop file? e.g. Change the model number to G928F(Europe model )
I saw someone did these on their Note 4 and S6 which made the setup wizard run.
I haven't try it because there is no matured third party's ROMs so far.

I'm worried that this would have some seriously bad implications because the 9200 has a different modem chipset than the european/us models. That would probably work if the hardware was very similar and just had minor regional differences.

Sorry, I didn't make that clear. You don't/can't flash in a firmware from another model in another region. What you do in the build.prop file is to simply change a name. Only thing you need is to get root on your current ROM.
I've just purchased an international Urbane on Amazon uk for a decent price. Amazon have made it clear it has a 12 month warranty and they will replace or refund if there are issues, and I have that on a live chat transcript so they can't go back on that.
However, as someone who's never owned an LG Android device, I'm wondering if I'm going to have problems with this International model here in the UK? For example, will OTA work or any other form of updating without having to go via ADB? I've heard Wear 2 is coming to this watch, I'd hate to miss out if I can't get it installed here in the UK. Will my UK S7 Edge work with it ok, and will Android Wear installed on my phone from the UK play store work ok? If there are going to be issues I'll simply return it. It's due for delivery tomorrow so any advice on this will be appreciated.

I'm using the EU W200e variant with 3G not the LTE version, as far as updates go, everything is fine, OTA operates normally and frequencies are not an issue. I see no reason for the LTE variant to be any different, others are using it successfully.
Thanks. It's actually the 1st gen Urbane I've bought, so it has no cellular ability. But as long as it can be used in the UK and can be updated to Wear 2 when LG release the update, that's good enough for me.
