I saw no clear warning that this would happen, including in the Notices section on the Samsung Members app, and was being nagged daily by the phone notification to update the software. Identify Gear VR (SM-R320) Innovator Edition I am extremely frustrated and angry that I can no longer use my gear VR with the S10+ having updated to One UI 4.

Unfortunately if you have a Note 4 running custom firmware, Oculus will not offer troubleshooting support. Oculus has instructions to check to see if your phone is using custom firmware. Some Note 4 devices have been sold with custom firmware which may not function correctly with Gear VR.

While the bulk of Gear VR titles currently support the Note 4, some developers seem to be phasing out support for the phone, likely due to performance considerations. If after all of the steps above, you are still unable to obtain the update, please contact your cellular provider for additional troubleshooting steps.

After the download and install of the update, your phone will be able to download the Oculus software required to obtain VR content.

The Commuter for S10+ fits about the same, although when I reinstall it, sometimes the rubber on one corner has to be adjusted a bit.* may require Samsung Kies update. I used the Commuter on my S8+, which I’ve accidentally dropped a few times over the past couple of years with no damage. The glass model S10+ has about the same weight (175 grams) as the S8+.īTW, if you are looking for a Samsung S10+ case that is protective and at the same time easy to remove and reinstall, I recommend the Otterbox Commuter available for S10, S10+, or S10e. The only thing I noticed was that the ceramic black S10+ was noticeably heavier (198 grams) than my S8+ (173 grams), so the Gear VR felt front-heavy. I just used the same USB Type C connector that I was using with my S8+. UPDATE: I now have the S10+ and I’m pleased to report that the S10+ works with the 2017 Samsung Gear VR (SM-R324) without any problems, and without the need for a special adapter. Does Samsung S10+ work with Samsung Gear VR?

I’ll be comparing the S10+ with the S8+ (Snapdragon 835). I did order an S10+ and I’m curious to see how much better the Snapdragon 855 is on the Gear VR.
