Verizon is pushing 6.0 to my Note 5.  Does anyone know if this works properly with GearVR?  I heard that it was broken in the beta release, and have been burned before.

I have no clue expect the s7 and s7 edge do not run as good in vr as the note 5, it has jitter and shutter both in home and games, the more graphic the game the worse it gets. Although i feel this could be an i/o issue. I would backup everything and be ready to reflash current rom incase it doesnt run as good.

I have Verizon and a Note 5 with Android 6.01 and my Gear works great except one app The BluVR was not compatible with Marshmallow.  Everything seems fine except for that one.

I'm on 6.0.1 and have no specific problems that seems to be tied to this version.

T-mobile - SM-N920T - Note 5 - After upgrade to 6.0.1 - major problems. 

  1. Phone goes from 100% to 50% in about 4 hours, with NO use. 
  2. Gear VR does not work
  3. Constant pop-up of black screen with small X in bottom right.  Accompanied with the sound Gear VR makes when user connects to head set. 
  4. Oh yea, constant pop-up of black screen with small X in bottom right whenever using phone
In summary - Upgrading the Note 5 made battery life nonexistent, renders my GearVR headset useless, and get constant black screen pop ups that last about 3 seconds. 

Did cache wipe and factory reset.  Twice.  Same problems.  DO NOT UPDATE TO MARSHMALLOW 6.0.1!!!  If you were able to update with no problems, good for you.  Not worth the risk of having a useless phone for those who have not.
