Just picked up a gear VR and having lots of fun with it however, connecting the micro USB cable to it to charge while in use is not working. I first tried a generic cable, then the Samsung fast charger and cable and finally the Samsung cable that came with the phone but I keep getting the same message: "Charger connected. cannot charge mobile device while wearing gear VR". Any help would be appreciated
When I first got my Gear VR it would charge my phone while I played. Then there was an update to my phone and the next time I plugged it in I got the message "Charger connected. Cannot charge mobile device while wearing Gear VR". Was a change implemented?
Experiencing the same thing with galaxy s7 edge. I just got a gear VR and when I connect charge cable via USB passthrough on gear VR it tells me I cannot charge while in use and won't let me continue until I unplug the charger. From what I've read it seems this is supposed to work. Ideas?
