Can't Update/Install Anything - Samsung Gear VR

I use my Gear VR every couple of months , but I can never update it. I have tried uninstalling all related apps and reinstalling. I have the related Facebook app manager etc in my app list and they appear to be enabled. Using s8+. Everything just spins on install or update.

Same with my problem, please help.

Unfortunately the only fix that worked for me was a factory reset.

Problem updating some apps!

Sometimes when I update any of my apps that I have installed on my xoom, It will start to download them and then nothing will happened. It's like it get's hung or something. Then there is a message on the notifications bar that says "this application is already installed", even though the market is telling me there is an update. This has happened more often in the last few days with the Google Doc app and the Pulse app updates. It will take several tries to get the update to work, or sometimes I would uninstall the app and reinstall the new version to get around this glitch. Has anybody else had the same issue?

After trying to use my Gear VR this morning it told me to take it out again and install aps. So I did and the "Gear VR setup wizard" came up and downloaded the VR Installer and App Manager. Headset was working fine last night
After d/l it tries to install but errors out, it only says "install error".
No idea why or how to fix it, tried to reinstall it 5 times so far. It d/l each time and tells me install error every time. getting ready to reinstall all of it.
I tried to reinstall as well and I can't seem to install any other games...

OK, something is wrong. I uninstalled everything, deleted all related folders. When i put the phone into the headset it tells me to take out the phone just like it should. I take out the phone and start the install process. It gives me a list of apps its going to d/l and then starts the download. Here is when it does the same thing as before, finished d/l and tried to install for a second and comes back with an "install error". So now I'm stuck with no way to install any VR apps on my phone.
Could this be a fault on Samsung's side? Everything was working great last night.
I must ask. Are you using factory rom and snapdragon device. Maybe latest updated apps have compability problem. All my apps are up to date and no problem on my side. Using stock rom.

No, Stock phone. But I found out what happened. I froze some ATT apps on my phone. Once I unfroze all apps everything worked again. Not sure what one was the cause, I had only picked the obvious ATT bloatware apps and things like Facebook and some Google apps.
I'll have to go back and freeze one by one to see what one was the cause of preventing Oculus apps from running.
I'm using downloading games from the store option on the left of the home screen on the gear vr and I have the AT&T version of the note 4 model SM-N910A.

I had this exact same error when I was initializing gear vr on my S6. I also debloated the rom a little bit before this. It seems it's these two facebook apps that should not be debloated, thus reinstalled under the name of vr installer and appp manager. Now I'm reminded that fb required Oculus.
vr installer: com.facebook.system 1.0, /data/app/com.facebook.system~1/base.apk
app manager: com.facebook.appmanager 8.0, /data/app/com.facebook.appmanager-2/base.apk

Gear VR - 'Login Required'

I have the Gear VR for my Note 4 and today for some reason it couldn't see any of my apps.
The Oculus app also was playing up so I ended up uninstalling the Oculus app along with the Gear VR apps.
Basically plugged the phone back into the Gear VR and reinstalled everything that was removed. The Oculus app worked fine and when logged in could see my installed apps etc. So far so good....
As soon as I place my phone into the Gear VR, I get a screen saying 'LOGIN REQUIRED, Please remove the phone from the headset and launch the 'Oculus' app to login.
The problem I'm having is I AM logged into the Oculus app, just the Gear VR can't seem to see that
Does anybody have any ideas before I try a factory reset? I've tried clearing the cache of the Oculus app but that does nothing apart from making me sign in again..
Thanks,
Norm
were you able to figure this out? i'm having the same exact problem.
Having the same issue.
Hi guys. Sorted it out. My Oculus Home app was was the old version whereas the Oculus app was the new version. Uninstalling both apps was fixed was they reinstalled themselves.

That fixed it! In all of my troubleshooting I don't think I ever explicitly uninstalled Oculus Home. Thank you!

Your issues with Play store, reminds me of 2 x similar incidents, i had with my old Note devices.
Think it was Note 3 and my Note 4. Not sure.
Unfortunately It was a few years back!
eg.
When i tried to download, an apps update etc and
app size was eg 2mb or 5 mb.. etc I struggled to download.Very frustrating!
Eventually after a week or 2, maybe 3.
i was able to pinpoint
the the "suspect"
(Unfortunately i cannot remember clearly ,
but it was either, that i had sideloaded
wrong updated version of Play services apk
(Cleaning Play services cache did not help.)
or it was an Xposed /Xposed model.
(So phone was also rooted)
Anyway ,
i then decided to factory reset and Playstore
was working fine again.
Bottom line is
you can either look for the "suspect"?
causing this.
( I know there was a few threads about similar issues with Playstore, on XDA... way back then ! )
or save yourself from the frustration it's causing?
and try a "clean" Factory reset.!
Good luck
Have you tried cleaing the cache data in the internal storage? That usually helps with this sorta issue.
Tried that not working in either what you said

Is it on wifi or data?
Reset router modem.
Do other apps lag like YouTube or Netflix.
Download speed bad in your area.
Uninstall GP updates and try to reinstall them or apk from web.
Is updating apps through wifi only ?
Clear out all pending updates and restart device.
Do you have another device or friends to see if it's the same problem on theirs too for your region.
Try a different proxy.
Just throwing some ideas around!!
Go into your Google settings and see if you have it to update using wifi only I personally always turn auto updates off.. I had this problem with my Note 8 when I 1st got it. How I fixed it was I went into settings and went to apps and cleared the cache and data on Google play services and playstore and foreclosed them and then went to accounts and removed my Google account and restarted my phone.. when my phone rebooted I went to the playstore and had to login fresh again and that fixed the problem.
I fixed it by factory resetting phone. Thankfully I backed it all up

Can't install apps in the Oculus app

Can't install apps with the app. If I find an app I bought in the past it says purchased but there is no install button.
I have tried reinstalling the gear Vr Oculus app. Tried downloading it. No joy. No install button
Guys please help.
Hi
Something similar happened to me recently when I debloated my phone. I had to get back to stock.
I guess some of the needed apps are tied to Facebook, like Facebook apps installer.
Installing apps is really buggy since months. I have to go to the "Not installed" tab in the Oculus app on my phone (not in VR) and press the vertical three dots menu to start the download. Usually it will fail at 100%. Then I restart the phone and try it again. Download starts again. Wait for it to get to 100% and give it some minutes, then restart the phone again. Finally the app is installed and ready to use.
