About a week ago I used my Gear VR for the first time since my Galaxy S8 updated to Android Oreo. It worked fine. Since then, though, my phone has been randomly popping up "Gear VR undocking issue / tap here to finish undocking your mobile device" notifications. It seems to happen about once per day, despite me not having used the headset since last weekend. Every time I tap the notification it disappears, only to come back later or the next day.
The notification didn't appear at the time I removed the phone from the headset, only sometime later and then multiple times since. Is there any way I can fix this?
Oculus will not answer us, we are to small customers for them! They focus more on Oculus Rift than Gear VR users....anyway I have the same problem on my Note8 after update with Oreo
Thanks, I will do that. I've used the Gear VR again since, docking and undocking it a couple of times, hoping that would fix it. But the notification is still appearing, apparently randomly.
I suspect a bug introduced in a recent Oculus update, but I'm no expert. For those interested in trying, Oculus support have got back to me and suggested the following:
Shutting down and restarting the phone (I'd already done this and it didn't make a difference).
Ensuring the Facebook App Manager and Facebook App Installer apps are enabled (they both already were on my phone).
Uninstalling and reinstalling all the Oculus apps (I haven't tried that yet).
They gave me the link below which shows which apps to uninstall and how to do so, but I don't know yet how to reinstall them again afterwards. I also don't know what effect this will have on any installed VR games/apps or their data. I'm waiting for their response on this before I try it.
I too am getting this error on a daily baises even though it has been a week since I used my gear vr. I have rebooted and even wiped the cache but it still pops up.
