gear vr or gear s for your new note? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Which gear will u be getting for the note 4? Or will you get both?

Gear VR for sure!!!

I'm leaning towards the gear s, it would nice to for the gear vr to have lateral head tracking. My buddy has the oculus dk2 and it raises to the next level.

It really depends. If the Gear S is synchronized to your phone plan and bill then yes. If carriers say that you need a separate plan and additional bill then the Gear 2 will be mine

well, I won't get both.. I guess..
The gear S will be pricey when it came out in my country, and I already have a watch
The gear VR.. Sadly I didn't know wether that gear will be available in my country or not

^ where are you at? im thinking the vr will have more availability than the note edge at least.
i have a watch too the gear fit so im looking at the gear vr

Welcome to galaxy s4!
It was officially announced that Galaxy gear 2 and fit will work with galaxy s4.
And as far as gear vs gear 2, get the gear 2. There are much improvements (battery life, smaller size, faster, more ergonomic just to name a few).
Sweet I don't wanna fork out a lot for a watch that won't work lol

I think this is an old clearance product, they have a new product on their website and it costs $75 ..also i think they are going to make phone cases with built in heart monitor (they did that for iPhones) ... But I'm not sure how good are they ...
Nice
Samsung just restocked their inventory so I picked up the battery kit with the 50% coupon they emailed me earlier.
I bought the Samsung case/cover with the built in wireless charging from Amazon. I have had it for over 2 weeks and really like it.

I too have this cover and love it o: Keeps my naked screen nice and safe from scratches :silly: Too bad I probably won't use it any more because of my Gear VR Well... I suppose I could use it... but the Gear would look so weird with that s-view cover open S:
Edit:
I would also like to get that Gear S and the fancy new advanced s-pen (I really hope Gear VR users can use it as a magic wand lol)

How do you like gear VR? do you recommend it?
I picked up the Gear Vr
Want to get a 128GB microsd but they are too expensive, so will probably get 32/64GB.
The thinnest case I've ever owned, Rinke, is what I use now. I'm patiently waiting for Samsung to freaking release the LED flip case.

I would definitely recommend it! The Oculus Cinema made the Gear VR worth it for me :silly: It's like a portable movie theater without the annoying kids everywhere! The screen feels much much larger than any normal TV watching experience X]
Plus... It reminds me of Misaka's Sisters from To Aru Kagaku no Railgun :highfive:
edit:
oh, the games are pretty rad too :3

I need a keyboard (bt) to get rid o tablet but cant find one

Accessory forum?

I really want to get the Battery Kit with my 50% coupon but they are backordered and I can't find any place that will price match with the coupon. I already have the Moto 360 which works great with the Note 4 but I have been tempted to get the Gear S...I'm just waiting for the prices to drop a bit. I bought the Gear 1 about 8 months ago for $99 and liked it's functionality over the 360...but I like the notifications and looks of the 360 better.
I also just purchased a wireless charging receiver that works great. I'm waiting on the flip case to arrive some time this week....

Google Cardboard (Galaxy S6 Edge)

So Like Many of You I upgraded from the Note 4, and the gear vr 1. I was hoping they would atleast have a date out for the vr 2 but it doesnt seem to be the case. So now im looking for sometype of vr function to hold me out in the mean time before i decide on a occulus or some alternative. anyway to my question , what is the best cardboard headset for the s6 edge? and will the curve screen mess up the vr effect?
I've got the kit from dodocase.com, it's essentially the cardboard kit. It works pretty well imho, the curved edges aren't noticeable, I think they're slightly outside of the field of view.
well it seems the Vr 2 launch is imminent the gods have heard my prayers pre orders start tommarow!

A bit expensive for what it is imao, it's just a phone holder (pretty sexy I know). Anyway I'm pretty interested on your feedback w/ this one! Maybe someday it'll cost half the price and start to be interesting for me

What about VR apps? Most users complain about a poor app store...
Istill have great hopes on this VR2, since S6 is gonna be a great succes, the amount of potential users is superior, so dev will gain interest on that market.

The preorders start today
$250 !? this makes me wish the vr 1 wasnt so popular why the price bump up? is a added fan really worth $250 bucks?

I felt the same way... But it's supposed to be lighter, have the fan and the charging port. And it's supposed to be more comfortable.
I'm really on the fence lol
indeed, i was a day 1 buyer of the Vr 1 but it looks like i might have to pick this one up on EBAY lol

Over in the VR headset thread there is a guy that said that he has the Oculous headset right now and said the the samsung VR is going to be well worth the money. This pushes me more towards buying it in may haha
They are 199 now at best buy.
I owned a Note 4 with a Gear VR as well. Saw some great potential in it but 99% of the available content is crap. That's an area where the Oculus Rift will definitely be the better option. As long as there is no similar content for the Gear VR I'm holding my money back.

Will the Samsung Gear 1 smart watch work with the Nexus 6P

I got the Gear 1 when I got my Note 3 and I just upgraded to the Nexus 6P. I have tried connecting my Gear to the Nexus 6P and it pairs via bluetooth but I cannot get Gear Manager to see the watch. So, does anyone know if it works with it or only Samsung smartphones? May be time for a smart watch upgrade also
Love know this as well, please keep me posted. I'm considering going to the 6p from the note4 , how are you liking it?
Same is happening for the Gear S, basically my watch is just a watch for now. With it bluetooth-connected, all my calls to my phone go directly to the watch.

I really like the Nexus 6P...one big big difference coming from the Note 3 is I get great signal on the Nexus 6P. I can actually use my phone in places my Note 3 would never work. That alone was worth the upgrade to me.
As far as I know the only samsung watches compatible with non Samsung devices are the gear live and the gear s2. You can connect the gear s via Bluetooth but it will act like a Bluetooth headset.

What I was afraid of. Well, guess Santa will be bringing me a new smartwatch
Don't get the gear s2. (;

1st Gear VR (for Note 4) still worth buying??

......Or would I be better off with a newer version?
Does the Note 4 Gear VR miss out on a lot of apps??
I can get one for £55 or get a newer one for a similar price.
Thoughts??
Anyone??
If you can get one for that price I'd say get it! But if you are gonna be upgrading to a newer Samsung flagship device, then I'd recommend getting the latest model Gear VR instead.
