How do you work a Samsung Gear VR?
timmy_macejkovic
over 1 year ago
First, set up Gear VR on your smartphone and pair the Gear VR controller with the Oculus app on your phone. Then open the cover on the front of the Gear VR and place your phone into the slot with the display facing the Gear VR lenses. The controller is your easy-to-use remote control.

Why is my Samsung VR headset not working?
nanci.klein
over 1 year ago
If the Oculus app is failing to respond, manually end the process and restart the Oculus app. If that doesn't work reboot the device and try again. Lastly, uninstall and then reinstall the Oculus app.
