[Samsung Gear VR] apprentice:
I have last year's version of the Gear VR and pre-ordered a Galaxy S8. In the UK the new VR is not being offered this time round (we get a Samsung wireless speaker) so I am hoping the 2016 VR will work with the S8. I have searched the web but all I find is reference to the new version being released this year.

Hoping someone might be able to confirm this.

.
[Samsung Gear VR] red6hu:
I don't think it will work. The S8 has Type C USB port.
[Samsung Gear VR] apprentice:
Ah but the VR comes with an interchangeable plug. I used it with My Note 7. I guess it's the size of the S8 and/or the software that's probably not going to work. I don't know.

.
[Samsung Gear VR] red6hu:
Good to know that.

The size of the S8 is smaller than the size of the Note7, so it won't be a problem.

According the below link Gear VR 2016 is compatible with the S8.

You are a star! Thanks for the info

I've just called Samsung and they said that both S8 and S8+ will fit into the 2016 Gear VR.
[Samsung Gear VR] Frander1000:
I chatted with 2 different Samsung employers and one of them said it will work and the other one said it won't. Hopefully i will receive the S8 tomorrow and then i can try it myself... Any of you that have tried it?
[Samsung Gear VR] SephAbdullah:
I have the s8+ and it is too tall to fit into the gear vr even with the adjustments. Also I used micro usb to USB type C connector and it doesn't even boot up oculus. Don't think it's backwards compatible but I don't have a regular s8, so maybe it will work for that. I personally can't even get the software for gear vr to load from the headsets USB.
[Samsung Gear VR] tzdu25:
This does work as I have S8+ and 2016 Gear VR
[Samsung Gear VR] apprentice:
Are you using the right adaptor that came with the VR? It's a small cube that replaces the entire existing plug, by sliding a small catch. Don't use a standard micro usb to usb C adaptor, that won't work and is probably the reason your phone doesn't fit in the frame.

I can confirm that my S8 does work in the 2016 VR and have been playing a couple of games successfully ... however I have experienced a complete system lock up twice now causing the phone to reboot. One occasion was just browsing my library so it wasn't down to processor load.

I believe it's more likely to be a software issue rather than the headset, so hopefully that can be fixed as I cannot justify purchasing a new VR every 12 months.

S8+ and Gear VR sm-r323

Hi, I did a bit of research into the gear vr and decided to buy the gear vr 2016 aka sm-r323 2nd generation after reading it works with s8+ so I ordered the VR from amazon @ 45quid. When I received it the models compatible were s7, s7 edge, note 5, s6, s6 edge etc... on the box.

My phone arrived on Thursday and first thing after setting up my phone was seeing if it worked with the vr 2 aka sm-r323

And all was good it downloaded all software and ran updates and the gear vr store etc.. all looked up to date.

Downloaded a few games and roller coaster demos and the Star Wars clips all ran fine no crashes.

I'm just waiting on my motion controller to arrive now 2-3 weeks from mobile fun @ 50quid.

How ever the only thing I would say is it is a tight fit. When the phone is in with the USB c clip and in the "a" position if looking at the back of the phone it is about 1-2mm higher on the right side the end which self adjusts to size of phone.

This didn't have an effect on quality or let light in etc... I didn't notice or have any issues with it.
[Samsung Gear VR] apprentice:
That's really helpful. Thanks! I was in two minds about selling my 2016 VR but based on what you said I'll keep it for the S8+

.
[Samsung Gear VR] apprentice:
It seems there is a widely reported issue with the S8 freezing and rebooting generally that has nothing to do with the VR. So I am confident the 2016 VR will work fine eventually.

[Samsung Gear VR] Syraxius:
To all potential buyers of the older generation Gear VR: Don't get misled into those reviews saying that the previous gen USB-C Gear VR (from Note 7's generation) works with the S8+. It technically does work but there are some compromises.

I currently have both, and you can very clearly tell the difference between them. I mean very clearly.

The older Gear VR's alignment is slightly off to the left if used with S8+ (the center line is not exactly in the center). But it's OK with the S8 non-plus and Note 7 if you're wondering.

The newer model has clearly less chromatic aberration and much better sharpness off-center sharpness (I'm not talking about the extreme edges, but the sides of the view screen that you very frequently look at). It's either a lens issue with the older one or because of the above problem.

It can theoretically be fixed in software but I'm not sure if they will ever do it.
[Samsung Gear VR] Colonel_Izzi:
The alignment issue affects the standard S8 as well. Some people don't notice because they can't or don't maximize the FOV, but if you do you will definitely see part of the image intended for one eye with the other.

For the record the compatibility issue isn't with the main Gear VR unit itself but with the Type-C connector specifically. You can make the 2016 model properly compatible with S8 devices simply by acquiring and using a Type-C connector from a 2017 model (they are cross-compatible).
[Samsung Gear VR] DarkGuyver:
I don't see how the USB Type-C connector from the latest version of the GearVR is all that different from the connector from last years model. I think the problem maybe due to the screen aspect ratio of the SGS8 series as it has a 18.5:9 rather than a 16:9, which is what is most commonly found on past android flagships.

[Samsung Gear VR] vegetaleb:
Damn, so better get a good BoboVR Z4 and activate Gear VR developer mode to get most of both worlds

The 2017 connector is not easy to find

[Samsung Gear VR] S8ISGREAT:
2016 USB C plug mod

I bought the 2016 usb c plug for my 2016 Gear Vr to use with my S8. The S8 wouldn't fit into the plug so I ended up slicing a thin layer of plastic away from the plug so that the phone will fit and it worked perfectly!!!
[Samsung Gear VR] tboy2000:
Do you see the edge of the phone at top and bottom when in the headset as the phone is very narrow? Would you say it's better to get the S8 over the S7 edge for my 2016 headset? I have the headset and controller but need to buy a second hand phone for it.
[Samsung Gear VR] S8ISGREAT:
Gear VR 2016 and S8 Mod

The phone fits perfectly into my Gear VR 2016 (i will try and post some images this evening.) The clamp at the other end of the VR plug comes close to the bottom of the phone but still fits in to make a snug fit. (so no danger of phone falling out when moving your head around.)

I previously used my S7 (non edge) with my Gear VR 2016 and the phone would over heat, the quality of the image was not very good and the battery would drain quite quickly.

I upgraded my S7 to the S8 and the phone does not over heat, the quality is better and the battery does not drain as quickly as the S7....in other words I am very very impressed by the S8!!! :good:
[Samsung Gear VR] Rockysy98:
Which area of plastic did you slice off the adapter?
[Samsung Gear VR] reppi:
Works just fine with the S8+. I mean nothing that I can't live with.
[Samsung Gear VR] Drunkula:
From what I understand, it is the white model (the one I have) that does not work with the S8+. The USB connector does not appear to be swappable as on the later models.
[Samsung Gear VR] reppi:
Okay I own the blue one with swappable connector and it fits skimping.

Update: Just received the 2017 connector and now it fits perfectly snug with the S8+.
[Samsung Gear VR] Jim_Bourbon:
My s8+ worked in the sm-r323. But I had to get a replacement phone through insurance and now the new phone won't launch oculus when plugged into headset
[Samsung Gear VR] Jim_Bourbon:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] choosymoron:
Okay before people start killing me with their comments, please understand it's just a thought that's passed my mind & I thought of sharing it with you guys cos it excited me.

What if someone could port Oxygen OS of OnePlus on our S7? I've been a fan of OnePlus and have seen great improvements in their OS recently. Reason I'm using S7 and not OnePlus would be cos I love 5inch phones and find 5.5inch way too big for my hands. So ya I've been really dreaming about using Oxygen OS on my S7 these days. Anyone else sharing the same dream? :p
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] nomaj:
There are already ported launchers ... so maybe that can help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] choosymoron:
Actually it's not about just the launcher. It's a dream of having that stable stock android on Samsung devices, which many of us have all the time.

Hi,

Running on epic pro rom, latest instalment. Everything stable so far. But I can't get GA working properly. I'm on Google app beta, play services beta, cache cleared, English language.

Anybody got it running?

Thx

Just to be clear. With xposed and assistant enabler module you got it working from screen off? Cause I tried the said module in the mentioned ROM and it ain't working at all...

using xposed assistant enabler, i didn't make it work from screen-off without charger plugged in. tried several times, since the guide to enable it is tricky.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] loudog3114:
I am pretty sure it is a limitation of the chipset.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] chris.davis925:
I had this same problem. I scratched my head after looking at the logs. The reason why it doesn't work is because the GMS (and other?) Google APKs were located on /data and not /System.

Move it to /system and it should work.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] james1089:
Can't remember properly what I did but definitely worked, MIUI tweak I think is also needed so you can properly add trusted voice.

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] loudog3114:
Working for me on the global rom from screen on. Go to the google app, settings, voice, "ok google" detection. Train it, if you havent, and enable the top two options (the third will then be enabled by default). Then, never open that section again. The next time you open it, it will switch back off - but it should be working if you enable the options then exit the google app. Works for me, even survives a reboot.

After rooting super su succesfully installed and on root checker my phone showed that its rooted but after sometime if I open supersu it automatically shows that i have not installed the binary and on checking in root checker it shows that its not rooted. If I restart the phone then its again shows that it is rooted. What do I need to do? Hope to get a help soon:)

[Galaxy E5, E7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deep Droid:
I had same problem with my E500H.

When you root your phone.

Super su gets updated from play store, hence it shows that binary file are missing.

Uncheck auto update apps in play store.

Super su will be working good but it start lagging after that. I don't prefer rooting my phone.

Instead get CM13 for E500H, which has inbuilt root option in developer options.

hi,

I've been on cm 13 and backed up all my user apps with Titanium Backup v8, I even created an update.zip of my backups.

Then I clean flashed the latest Mokee 6.0.1 rom. Now I can not restore my apps either on titanium backup or via recovery and update.zip . In titanium backup, restoring gets stuck at 0% and in recovery it gives an error.

Does anyone know what should I do ? :(
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] ehsan_zt:
Ok it seems that no one experienced this problem. After hours of searching and trial and error I've found a way to solve this problem.

In Titanium Backup --> preferences --> app processing mode (scroll all the way down to see it) --> change it to Interactive. If you batch restore your apps and data, it will ask you each time to install your apps (which is very annoying!), but it works and won't get stuck on 0% . :D

If anyone ever found a better way, please mention it.

Try Titanium Backup PRO version. Then you don't have to every time click for install. It will automatically install all the apps. You just have to do 1 click.

fastboot flash recovery twrp.3.2.1 .img ( Remember the spaces, the name twrp.xxx.img should be same as you downloaded. If flash is successful, you can see twrp when you boot to recovery. Then flash supersu file and/or whichever rom you want.
