Do the newest Gear VR, works and fits the Note 4? - Galaxy Note 4 Accessories

I read somewhere (dont remember exactly where, but it was on reddit), that the newest version of gear VR, the one colored black with interchangeable USB ports for Note 7, works and fits the note 4 out of the box, without using a dremel to make it fit.
Do anyone have tested it and can confirm?

I'd like to know if this is indeed true. As I'm seriously considering getting a Gear VR Innovator Edition for my N910C. If anybody knows if the new Gear VR actually fits the Note 4 please tell us?

I got one on Monday, can confirm it works perfectly! I meant to make an FYI thread here on xda so everyone would know to run out and join the goodness, but I've been too busy in my little virtual world lol.
Go get one guys!!!

How does it compare with Cardboard? I heard it's really way much better. Do you get sick wearing it too long? Is watching movies enjoyable with it? Can you watch mkv videos with subtitles (Anime) with it? I really want to buy one but with my experience with cardboard, I'm a bit hesitant.

Awesome! Could you post pictures of your Note 4 in the New Gear VR so we can get a look at it? Also does it run good on the new Gear VR? Were you prompted to download and install the Oculus VR app for your Note 4 (without the Oculus VR app installed) after you connected it to your Gear VR?

There is a number of pictures of the new VR with a Note 4 in this thread

BT S Pen feedback

Does anybody have it yet? Could you please leave your comments and first impressions here if you do?...
The pen works very well on the note 10.1. It feels more natural than the s pen. I actually Bluetooth it to my galaxy note 5.3. Sound quality is excellent and the people I talk to can hear me very clearly. All in all a great device. Can you live without it? Absolutely, but it's fun to have.
Thanks for the feedback.
1. Does this pen allow pairing with more than one device at the same time?
2. Does it house the 10.1 stylus inside, like the holder for the original N7000 Note did?

No. As far as I can see it only pairs with 1 device. Can't read Chinese instructions though. It doesn't house the stylus. It's a separate stylus. Comes with its own bag of plastic nibs.
Anyone else got this? Could you please leave your feedback? Thanks.
I've ordered it off of ebay, but not received yet. am anxious to read others reviews as well.
The BT s-pen has the same function as the normal s-pen. And it is a bluetooth headset with vibrition for incomming calls. When you press the phone button S-voice opens. Say "call Annie" and Annie will be called. Great !
Where to order one

Got mine off Ebay from Korea directly... No english instructions but then its not too hard to work out...
Charge until led turns blue, start bluetooth on Phone/Tablet, search bluetooth.
On pen, hold dial button for 3 - 10 seconds, tablet will pick up, Can't remember if I needed to enter pair code but "0000" usually works....

I finally got my hands one one of these yesterday - awesome. I also got English instructions with mine
1. Yes it supports two devices at the same time (Multi-Point) I have mine paired with my Note 10.1 & my Note 2
2. Yes it holds an s-pen inside - there's some instructions for re-assembling it and a picture. I don't know if it's the full s-pen inside though and I'm not going to take it apart just to find out.
It's got the proper feel of a pen and is much nicer to write with than built in one. Works great with s-voice as well and sound quality is good.
My poor s-pen always stays in it's slot now.
Also one proud owner here Got mine for about 30 usd. Really like to use it over the standard Spen. And what is more cool than talk to your pen, haha.

From this shop I doubt... in fact they don't have fixed prices and you can bargain. I have years of experience on this in China so not easy to fool. But I didn't find this pen in China and there I think no chance to bargain for such original products, at least not much. So I was suprise to find it here and be able to set a good price. I also bought the original flip cover. Or it just could be that they try to ripoff all the white faces they see

Update, there's 2 on Ebay.com right now. I think only 1 is under $75 AND a US seller. When I search I only want US sellers. Hope this helps. You can set up 'saved searches' and even 'notifier' when the item matches your wish.

[Q] Do you think the Gear 2 will work on Lollipop (Nexus 6)

I am considering purchasing a Nexus 6 when it becomes available on T-mobile but would really hate not being able to pair it with my Gear 2. I really have become addicted to it. I had been originally holding out for the Note Edge to replace my Note 3 but then was able to get one of the Nexus 9 tablets and I think that I am becoming a convert to "pure android"! Any thoughts or speculations would be appreciated. Hard facts would be even better.

I have both devices but have only paired my android wear watches so far with the N6. that being said if you are still looking for an answer let me know and we could do some testing.
Probably not... I don't even think you could get the gear to pair on non tw roms? It took awhile for them to port it to the n2 but that didn't have full compatability. The way I understood it is there more concerned with running it on the Samsung devices so it is left up to the devs and I don't think samsung has quite hit the mark on the smart watch market yet.

I have been using my gear 2 and my gear S for a while now. The nexus 6 is no different. There are a couple ways to go about it without using touch wiz. The gear 2 is actually much better considering that there is already a rooted custom rom out for it, and like i said, with that you will get about 95% functionality. I believe the weather app isnt 100% working and one more thing whixh i cant think of, but all the good stuff works perfect and even a few added features. Making/ recieving calls, ir blaster, watch faces, bluetooth, notifica.... all thats 100%. If you need any help or wan't to try it just pm me. I think this op may have found his answer already though.

Hi there. I sent you a PM about a similar request. Can you please check and let me know?
Did you guys actually figure out if it works with nexus 6?
Hi, someone managed to connect the gear 2 with nexus 6? I'm trying but, but I do not get results. If someone have a solution can post a guide?
Would appreciate it too
Please help!!
I have gone through all the methods in trying to connect my gear 2 to my nexus 6 and nothing will work!! Has anyone actually found a way?? I don't mind if some thing don't work, I just like the text and call features anyway.. Please respond to me, I love my watch and don't want to go over to a different one
any updates on this? will the samsung gear 1 OR the gear 2 watch work with the nexus 6 2014 version? thx
I tried following an XDA tread to connect Gear 2 Neo to Moto X 3 XT1575, with watch still on Tizen. No joy.
This method worked easily, but it will be an Android Wear watch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-2/development/please-help-kernel-compiling-android-t2992953

How to connect Samsung watch to lg phone.

I don't know if it's posted but if not this video helped me connect both my gear watches to my phone.

Yeah thanks I'm sure some might use. However the downfall for this with the gear s Is you are severely limited. At this point why own the gear s? You might be better off getting the gear s2 at this point. That or just get another cheaper smart watch that doesn't have 3g s2 capabilities.
There is a forum on the gear s part that they have been able to get it dang near fully functional but I and a few others haven't gotten it to work on the v10. It sucks as I prefer the gear s but if I can't get it fully functional with the v10 I might just try out the s2

I did just this,switched from the Gear S to the Gear S2.
As you,I actually liked the Gear S,but,I'm glad I made the switch,works well w/the V10.
My preference is the square/rectangle form factor,but,the S2 has quickly grown on me.They finally got the watchband right,flows right in w/the body of the watch & the clasp isn't clunky when doing desktop work.
I still have the Gear2,which is still my favorite watch by far & holding out hope that someone can get it to work w/Marshmallow.

It's hard to know if it'll be future compatible with S7 or Note 6 as those devices don't actually exist in a format we can be sure of. Only rumors.
That being said, this VR supports far more than the One device Innovator edition so unless they change port layout or physical size, there's no reason why it couldn't work.

The one made specifically for the note 4...does not work with anything else but the note 4. Same justification was used with that as well lol. But I don't want to steal this thread

Yeah, I covered that.
"this VR supports far more than the One device Innovator edition"
There were multiple "one device" Innovator editions, but the Consumer version supports Note5, S6, S6 edge and S6 edge+, and cheaper. It has multiple size settings, which is a GREAT sign for possible future compatibility.
It's a pretty decent device and well worth it at the price.
Just because you'll jump in the future, doesn't mean it's not worth it right now.

It's definitely there. It bothers some folks, not others. Doesn't bother me much, I got used to it.
On a side note:
Some of the apps (same ones from Innovator edition) still give me motion sickness. I guess I'm just doomed to never run those apps.
You can tell it's there. I still love it though. Netflix is awesome using it. Watched a video yesterday of the blue angels flying at was amazing.
Edit. VR fine. It was the Arter kernel on my N5 Loco rom. Switched kernels to skyhigh and works perfect although a few random reboots on phone when using but not many. It's tolerable until an update comes out. But for now I'm running stock everything unrooted because the VR rocks that way and I've been showing it to many peeps over Christmas. Tomorrow I'll re-rom and kernel it back.
bump any updates on this?
The only rom/kernel that works with VR is Stock Modified. However I found that it causes issues with bluetooth and after a while my moto 360 stops getting notifications.
Wish roms could support VR, would make things easier
Darthstalker's Rom seems to work well with the latest Sky High
I've hard Breakdown also works, but haven't tested it.. Hopefully Tek is working on it for his Rom, but I doubt it.
Is there a way to use S4 with this device?

Loving the new Gear S3

Went to Tmobile and made the jump from the Gear S2 to the Gear S3. Was gonna wait as some people were stating its not much of an upgrade but I like the new look and band.
Now a convert to a smartwatch user. My Frontier is the bees knees. Just wondering how many Classics they have sold over the Frontier?
I had the S2 3G and got rid of it due to how "dainty" it is. I wear a Panerai daily so the S2 was too small. I love this S3. Just wish they would have done a 24mm band. I have tons of those.

I also had the S2 but never truly enjoyed it (too small). The S3 is great.
I have been able to use an exact o knife and trim down a couple 24mm leather bands and they fit the 22mm lugs pretty perfectly.

Please share how we all can install this besutiful watch face. Thanks in advance.
You can get the watch face from an app called Watchland
Yeah, I grabbed that watch face this morning too. Can't use the app on the watch, but download the app on your phone, download the face, got to your download folder, and the .gwd file is there. Needs to be loaded via Gear Watch Designer, where you can add links to apps, steps, battery, etc.
I was able to use the companion watch ap just fine and it loads perfect
