if you don’t have a Gear VR account- I give a walkthrough in the video of what I did to resolve this at 2:51 - I also DID NOT HAVE A GEAR VR ACCOUNT before making this video.

All credit goes to the subreddit guide which Ive linked in the description above..where a FULL walkthrough is given. Follow second method. Read the full guide and you’ll find other resources for games to download.

Then come back and subscribe once you’ve revived your Gear VR

The GearVR is the reason I keep my old Samsung Galaxy S7 around. It doesn't seem to have any issue signing in to the service but then again it is still on Android 8. Personally I'm not sold on VR for gaming but for media consumption I'm a real fan. Sitting in a virtual movie theatre is brilliant and I have forgotten quite where I am at times, gotten up to go to the toilet and walked into a wall or my desk.

They should bring back Gear VR, it's a nice way to get into VR especially since it uses your phone, and phones have gotten way more powerful over the years and their displays are better with higher refresh rates

Its insane that this gadget had usb c 6 years before apple invented it

Fun fact: PSP already had a "cardboard" peripheral waaay before Google or Samsung. Metal Gear Ac!d 2 featured a 3D mode using a cardboard called SOLID EYE TOBIDAC!D. That was in December 2005, Google Cardboard, the first popular "headset" for phones appeared in June 2014. yeah.

I remember trying the Samsung Gear VR at the phone store when I was a kid. I wanted one so bad, but I'm really really glad that ones like the Quest 1/2/3 exist. I currently own a Quest 3 and going back and watching videos like this to see if I would remember the Gear VR the same makes me super grateful that we have what we have now

[sinnanrafi]

I was in elementary school so obsessed with this and google cardboard

These memories... This nostalgia... I remember how at the beginning (when the first VR goggles were just appearing) I was fascinated by their possibilities and watched every video about them that was available on the Internet. Many years have passed since then, and even though I have Oculus Quest 2, it is not the same feeling anymore... Once upon a time, putting on VR goggles (for just 10/15 seconds) during open school days was something amazing. And now... Well... I'm sitting at my fancy computer and looking at my Oculus, which I haven't turned on for so long that it has accumulated quite a bit of dust. If you could go back in time and, when you were 15/16 years old, be able to play with it for a moment... That would be something.

That’s so cool! I never knew that smash hit was playable in VR!

[Forrest_O.]

Watched this on my Oculus Go. It felt very limiting, as I have experienced the Quest 2. Old VR may seem nostalgic to some, but it’s a very bittersweet experience in 2024.

2:26 The Note9 works, but you need the Note9 specific adapter. Since the phone is thicker... im not sure if you can still find it online tho

[NicCrimson]

Bro the day phones has the software to do what the AR headsets can do would be insane. I love having one device that does it all.

[funnyberries]

The first oculus quest has the same processor as the Samsung S8. Can play beat saber, robo recall, and a whole bunch of other fun and fast games. The killing of phone VR was a real mistake of Google. They should have just open sourced all their cardboard stuff to let third party phone companies carry the torch if they needed too.
The quest runs Android anyways, so there would totally be some love from some of the Chinese competitors

[himynameisryan]

the most useful feature of the gear vr is that you can take the lenses out and put them in ur htc vive, vive elite cosmos or other steam vr tracking based headset for a better experience with larger sweet spot for viewing and less godrays

[betfoyet]

I was so pissed. I bought a whole bunch of games for the gear VR right before they discontinued the service. I have my S8 sitting in a drawer with the original software.

[retroseas]

You should really review the Samsung Galaxy Camera! It's a pretty bizarre Android device and I love it!

[Greta-oeyc]

Who needs a time machine when you can just put on a Gear VR and travel back to 2017?

[handsome]

thanks so much Bro for help me giving life to my old but Gold Gear VR!

[ryanmalin]

I still daily drive my S10. I purchased that phone specifically to play gear VR. I still got the old GearVR too but its just a collector item at this point. Went from GearVR to Q1 to RiftS to Q2 to Q3. Im happy with the current state of VR

[nassifsamuel]

I loved gear vr, many fun games, even minecraft
