I bought a Samsung Note 4 from a UK Samsung Store, I was wondering if the current Gear VR from the US will install on mine. My device is currently running Android 4.4.4, N910FXXu1ANK4.
Would I have troubles installing it? I want to know as my fiancé from the US is planning to buy one and ship it to me.
No, the N910F is the Western-European-wide CAT6 LTE model with Snapdragon CPU. That is the one to get.
Carrier versions will also be the same SM-N910F but just running different software. So same hardware, different software. As long as you are on NK3 or later, you are set to go.
I really appreciate all the help you have given. So will I not run into the situation where when I plug in the gear vr for the first time. It tells me to install an update to continue but when trying to do so, samsung tells me there are no updates available.
Yes, that comes to the heart of my confusion. I have a non-UK version Note 4, SM-N910F, Snap Dragon, on the latest firmware I can get: 4.4.4, NK4. But I don't know if I buy a Gear VR whether it will install properly, should I just download the SDK?
