Its too late to keep hoping for gear VR official launch in INDIA for note 4 (SM-N910G) . I don't think they value much of indian users to give any official release. One of the factors I went for note 4 was Gear VR..however the SM-N910G has recently been upgraded to lollipop officially..I am here to know if we order or ship VR to india from outside like US or UK..will it be compatible with indian note 4...anybody has any confirmation about it should I go for one...
Any help relating to this issue is appreciated

Received today by email From Clove Technology in the United Kingdom:
We have today received the unfortunate news that the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is unlikely to launch in the UK.
If this is the case, we will not have official UK stock available to us. However, for those customers that are still interested in ordering, we will try to obtain non-UK stock.
More information is available in this blog post and we will continue to provide updates as the situation develops:

Better news though is that The Note 4 will be priced at £479.17 (£575 inc. VAT) which is nearly £100 cheaper than I expected, considering the Galaxy Alpha is priced higher.

There's no official date yet. Clove expecting stock around 10th of October but I suspect others may stock it earlier and Samsung usually have a special opening day or evening at their Store in London the day before launch.
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.

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!!!
If you are buying Gear VR Innovator Edition for S6, make sure you buy the HMD and the S6 in the same country.
Otherwise, the problem mentioned in Oculus forum will happen when the HMD and S6 are bought from different countries.

Good to know thanks, was very close to ordering hmd form the US

Not really an issue for people who know how to flash custom firmwares.
Just been on Samsung UK Support chat, said it 'should' work fine *confused*
I have ordered my Gear VR from the USA to work with my s6 edge in the UK on 3 (unlocked)....
Will have it next week as to what will happen now!

We will be in the same boat next week then! Will using a VPN allow the update if it doesn't work out of the box?
i cant speak for other countries but i have a canadian S6 and just bought the US gear vr and it is working fine. i've been using it for the last few hours. One way to see if it works is to use an app call Quick Shortcut Maker and look for the link VRSetupWizardStub and see if you can install the oculus software. I did this before i got my headset.
What is the model number of the European S6? I want to try flashing the firmware of the EU S6 on my S6 with model no. SM-G9200.

A little late to the party, but my European S6 edge works great with an American HMD.
Can you tell if the fan is running on the gear vr, I just got one and as far as I can tell it never turns on

If I am not mistaken the fan will only come on when connected to a USB power source. I could very faintly hear it last night while using it - barely noticeable.

I also bought a US Gear VR and I am using it on a Canadian S6e with no issues.
I see the HMD is going down right now even on eBay with the reduced price by Best Buy and the announcement of the new version ?? I will test it this month for sure
Hello, new to this website
My mom and dad who live in India both have snapdragon versions of the note 9. They are unlocked. For some reason, they still haven't got the one UI update. Does anyone know when they should expect it to come to their phones?

They've been pushing the launch date forward quite often. At this point, Samsung dev team are a joke tbh! Note 8!!! got it ahead of the 9! W T F, seriously?!
They should get it soon. As the Pie update release date is different for every region. I am still waiting for the Pie update for my Note 8 N950N.
