[Q] Galaxy Gear 2 with Note 2 (Stock) users?

I was initially turned off of the Galaxy Gear 2 by the price, but I understand that there are some refurbs avaiable for $99, so I was wondering if anyone in the Note 2 forum on the stock rom has an opinion on it. I really only want to use it for email notification and as a controller of my Google Play music library.
I really figured that I was going to wait on Motorola's upcoming watch, but for $99 ...
Any difference in pre-tizen and post-tizen?
Thanks for your time.

I really like mine, but I don't think it will work with a stock Note 2 ROM, although you may be able to get notifications of you tweak it

Where have you seen refurbs for $99??
You're probably mixed up with the 1st gen or the neo.

My mistake...
Yes, you are quite right. I did mistake a Gen 1 for for a Gen 2.
The refurbs are available at the Best Buy website.
Sorry for the error.

You can get the Gear 2 Neo new for $150 from AT&T (even if you are not on AT&T).
See my post in the Gear 2 form general thread if interested...

is gear really necessary?

I just ordered a refurb Gear 1 from SlickDeals last week. It's out for delivery today so I can't give my opinion just yet. However based on what I read the only real difference is the heart rate monitor on the Gear 2. (Well as long as you upgrade to Tizen)...I think I will upgrade the Gear 1 to Tizen since I really don't need a 1 inch screen for viewing full blown Android apps! LOL I can barely see the screen on my Note 2 HAHAHA!!!

[Q] does it work well with a samsung gear 2 watch?

so, I have ordered a gear 2 neo watch, to work with my note 4 when I get it friday.
during a chat with samsung this morning, they say it works great with the note 4, but I was wondering if anyone is using the Gear 2 or Gear 2 neo watch with the note 4 yet..
I would assume it works fine, since it did work well with the note 3, but would just like to hear anyones experience with it..Am also curious if rooting the phone causes any issues with the watch, and even though its too early, wondering if the watch will work if the phone has a custom rom, either a touch wiz or AOSP/CM rom..
thanks for you input!:good:

Working great.
---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------
No guarantee it works right on non stockish roms. Rooting stock is fine

you have a note 3 or note 4?
thanks again!

I had both. Switched from Note 3 to Note 4
Yours will be new so no issues, but if you ever switch phones, anytime the gear manager is resynced or your gear watch is re-paired, the watch erases itself and re-configures. Fortunately NOT that big of a deal with the watch.

I hit thanks by accident. I have the note 3 and the note 4. My gear 2 neo is working fine with both devices.

i wont have the phone until Friday, but am hoping to get the watch Thursday. can I play with it for a day before the phone comes, or just leave it alone until I have the phone so I dont confuse or mess up the initial config before the note 4 is here?
thanks

can't do much on the watch without the phone really. Well, you can tell time... hahahaha

what kind of range do you guys get between the phone and the watch?
I have read everything from 3 feet to 300 feet!
thanks

Honestly, probably around 25 to 30 feet.

Rarely more than 30 ft, less if walls in between. Mine disconnects and reconnects as I move in and out of range.

thanks; as long as it re-connects automatically when in range, I am fine with that.

$99 Gear Vr and Note 4

Hello. I've been trying to find myself out but no luck. What happens if you cram an "old" Galaxy Note 4 into the new Gear Vr? I've already installed the Oculus App inside. Will it say that it's not compatible with the device? Or will it work just fine? Or might need a some sort of patch to make it work with my Note 4?
Thanks in advance

I dont know, maybe its just me but for some reason I feel the old vr headset for the note 4 is better then the new one for the note 5. I can def feel a difference in fov. Enjoy what you have on the innovator version.

Im wondering the same, especially now that I've flashed my Note 4 with a Note 5 port and the model number actually says SM-N920C.

Just finished reading amazon reviews and people are saying that the Note 4 doesn't fit! Most of us Note 4 users expected a software limitation that could be fixed with rooting or spoofing, but a hardware size issue would be a huge disappointment. I contemplated buying this VR consumer headset knowing it's not going to be compatible with the expectation of making some modifications to get it to work, but if it doesn't fit that's ridiculous! Hopefully someone shares photos or videos of their problems, and maybe we can find a workaround.

Since the announcement of the consumer Gear VR it was clear that the Note 4 will not fit in it.
There is also a visible trend that new content is sometimes unsupported by the Note 4 (mostly because of the Snapdragon variant out there which somehow causes trouble to utilize the performance needed without overheating problems).
The Note 4 version is now over a year old and in my humble opinion it is/was a developer device but to get more testers on board it was called "innovator edition".

Porn still works. Thats all I care about. Can't wait untill my fleshlight arrives from Santa , oh ya!

I read the specs and the Note 4 and 5 have the same micro usb connector. Is this correct? So what's keeping a Note 4 from being hacked to work with New Gear VR?

I talked to a Samsung/Bestbuy Rep who witnessed the Note 4 fit into the new VR. Said it doesn't fit perfect and didn't advise it , but it does fit.

That's somewhat good news. Now someone needs to confirm that the software works. I am surprised a Note 4 xda developer has answered this question yet.

Dn5 for the n910c works perfectly with the note4 vr innovator edition. You need to install the oculus apps using n4 buildprop but after that you can swap back to n5 buildprop. I don't know much about the snapdragon variants but if you want to know anything about the exynos n4 and gear vr just hit me up
Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk

I'd also like to know what people mean when they say it 'doesn't fit'. I am interested in getting a VR device, but the Innovator Edition is ridiculously expensive for some reason. Can you squeeze it in? Or does it really not fit. Maybe I'll head to a Best Buy and jam my Note 4 in the Consumer Edition to see for myself.
Better to ask forgiveness than permission.
Edit: I found the Innovator Edition for the Note 4 certified refurbished at Amazon for $150 and made a separate thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mobile-vr/gear-vr/gear-vr-innovator-edition-note-4-150-t3267755

Even if it didn't fit.. why couldn't you use rubber bands or something to strap it to the VR as a rudimentary workaround? Or maybe even take part of the VR's plastic off.

I was going to buy one to test myself. From what I understand, you can make it fit. With root , you can fake it to think it's what ever device you want it to be.
The problem will be overheating and under power, and screen resolution. But Samsung really screwed themselves with this non removable battery deal..

If you do buy the newer version, let us know what the issue with the fit is. If it's something that can be remedied by modifying the back cover or removing it, I might return the Innovator Edition I just bought and get the Consumer Edition.

I was just given one of these as a gift. Love it! The new version has a power port so you don't drain the battery. Instead of separate cartridges for each phone all of the devices fit into one set up using Springs and spacers. I'm running this with my note 5 and couldn't be happier.

The photo without the device attached shows the nubs used as spacers. Each level is spring loaded and compresses depending on which device is attached. The end where the USB connector is swivels, the opposite end adjusts with a spring to fir device snugly.

How snug is the fit of the Note 5 in terms of it's width? The Note 4 is only a few milimeters smaller in terms of width, but I bet that could be the difference between wedging it in and not getting it in at all.

Since it is the largest device this was designed for; the fit is very snug. You would have issues with the corners if you tried to fit a note 4 into this. Your best bet would be a refurbished innovator edition.
@baja, I am very well aware which devices this was designed for.

Is it worth jumping to the s7

Do you think think its worth jumping to the s7 from the s6? what are your guys thought?

I'm thinking about it. I'm interested in the bigger battery, the IP67, and the return of the SD card.. Th IP67 is a big one for me.
However I'm also really interested in never spending that kind of money for a dang phone again, so there's that. I really like the Mi5 if we can ever get it, and I'd like to see Moto's next gen stuff. I almost went X pure instead of S6, but I didn't want that big of a phone.

It is a personal decision for sure but I have been on the Galaxy line since S3 and all of them right up to my current S6 have been rooted and absolute work horses with each subsequent phone being that much better.

Can someone explain to me how jump actually works? I have an s6 edge. If I trade it in for an s7 edge do they credit me something for my device? I put 200 down and paid another 200 towards the balance. I just don't want to be out 400 bucks only to start over.

can you send it to me as well. im in the same delimma, im already over 200 in and i dont want to start over on another phone. im also on Jump 1. you think its better to stay on it or go to on demand?

I think liquid cooling may be enough for me to jump on the band wagon. I also like the ip68 water resistant protection. As far as liquid cooling goes I find my s6 is to sluggish when temperature throttling kicks in. This is a huge flaw imo. It heats up too quickly especially since I am a multitasker. Also the gear vr is almost unusable because it turns into a pancake griddle after 10 min of use. This time I am going to see if the s7 will be a better fit.

Jump on demand doc:
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/D..._source=transactional&utm_campaign=Email_Tool

I'm really torn about upgrading to the s7 myself. Unfortunately, I opted out of the Jump program when I got my s6, so I'd have to sell my phone myself and can't trade it in.
Sammy's made all the right improvements in the s7.

It's very tempting for me but the removal of the ir blaster closed the deal for me :/
Honestly once we get mm on the s6 most of my quirks with the s6 will be gone and I'll be a happy customer once more. I might even try to put a s7 battery in my s6.
Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk

Honestly, I am going to wait for like 3-4 months until after the s7 has been released. This way I can see if there is support for great custom ROMs like XtreStoLite or XtraLite as well as kernels like arter97. I wouldn't be able to bring myself to get a brand new phone without root, have to deal with bloat, and can't customize it with ROMs for months to come. Also, it's generally a good idea to get the newer devices a few months after launch so that many of the bugs can be ironed out. I prefer to have a flawless and bugless experience when upgrading phones!

I pre-ordered... A few reasons why...
1: I'm on Jump on Demand and have 3 trades left in 8 months
2: The preorder extras (GEAR VR and year of netflix)
3: The IP68 and memory card reader
Those are my main reasons for switching... mainly the Jump on demand, the rest is just extras on top

It depends on which Jump version you are on. Theres V1, V2, and On Demand.
V1 is every 6 months you can trade it in, regardless of what you owe. They'll pay off the balance on your EIP.
V2 is every 12 months, and you have to have 50% of your phone paid off. They'll pay whatever is left of your EIP after that initial 50%.
On demand is the lease program. You can trade it in up to 3 times in any 18 month period. You don't technically own the phone so the whole EIP thing doesn't exist.
edit: just learned no IR on the S7.. Dangit Samsung, you've always got to screw up at least 1 thing!

There are different ones? I thought they were the same. Anyway, yes it will fit. Side by side the S6 and S7 are the same size. The volume buttons are slightly lower by a few millimeters but that's it aside from the beveled edges and other very minor changes. I tried it in my S6 case and it fits (not as snug but it would work if I were in a dire need). I'll be picking up my VR's at the store tonight so I'll try my S6 in them... before I leave the store since I have to hand over the "old" phone.
I've loaded this phone with every benchmark app I can think of and it's coming out with double the marks of the S6. 3DMark running the Slingshot ES 3.1 test got 2555. The S6 gets around 1220. I'm at work so I can't type everything, plus this isn't my thread. That said, I assume you know to take benchmarks with a grain of salt. Even so having double the numbers speaks to the S7's capability on paper and under real stress. I'm done with my tangent now :silly:

It does. The S7 is nearly identical in size and dimensions to the S6. I played with one at Costco and was surprised at how identical it was. The only difference was the color. Fortunately I had my Gear VR in my bag (was letting coworkers test drive it that day) and was able to plug it in. Fits exactly like my current S6 edge. It prompted to download the software so I ejected it but it does work and fit.

Which Gear VR fits the Note 8?

I noticed when I ordered my Note 8 that there was a link for a new Gear VR Note 8 Edition. Does this mean that the prior versions will not work? I've seen posts where some users state that the 2017 edition fits the S8+, but am not sure if it will fit the Note 8.

That makes no sense. Why does samsung keep on doing that.
They know there going to make another phone they should think ahead and make a bigger adjuster for different size phones.
I got one in all the promos and had one for each different phone. Ended ip selling them all off and just keeping the s8 one

I pre-ordered the new vr with my phone order on samsung for $20 off

there is a new model on the sammy site for the note8. i have an employee discount so i picked it up. looking forward to it and the free 360 camera...

No one is going to disagree.
I think the launch product design wasn't finalized until after the launch of the s8+
I am racking up those friggen VRs as well.

So I get the Samsung Gear 360 VR Camera on promotion with the Note8, but I can't watch VR videos that I make with it on my current Samsung VR Headset that I got with the S8+. Would've been nice to offer the new VR Headset that fits the Note8 as one of the new promotion options.

I wonder if it will be possible to mod the S8/S8+ one to fit. Otherwise I guess I'll see if they offer a % off coupon for accessories like they have with previous S and Note models.

Thats what I am thinking, should not be too much to mod but might be off center since one side is the plug and can not be adjusted. I don't know if I will do another VR unless we get really good deals. I have 3 VR's sitting here collecting dust now. I can't believe they did not plan for device adjustments for the note 8.

I just got off of a chat with Prasanna N. at Samsung Technical Support who said that they will have a port/adapter of some kind that will allow the Note8 to work with the previous model of the Gear VR. So maybe we'll be ok and not have to buy the Gear VR Note8 Edition.

The Note8 fits in the most recent Gear VR headset. No modifications are required. I have a very difficult time understanding why anyone has had difficulty with this.

Does not fit in the one I bought a month ago. The note8 will not sit flush on the snap in end.
And the text on vr boot up is not centered.

Daydream fits and is compatible day 1. Works great!

Then you're doing it wrong. Sorry, I can't help you. There are numerous YouTube videos demonstrating that it fits and works properly.
