I got the message "failed to install app manager" when trying to install the app from the setup wizard. Please help, I've looked it up everywhere searching for a solution and can't find anyone else who had the sane problem.
Figured it out. follow this link..All i needed was the bottom link. Fixed my issue. https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/164414/gear-vr-needs-update-downloads-it-but-doesnt-install-it
I have a Galaxy S8+. I had tried everything from uninstalling Facebook then reinstalling it to deleting old Oculus files on the sd card. I did a factory reset and then installed the Oculus app and other tools without the sd card in the slot by plugging the phone into the Gear VR. Now my phone works with the VR.
I am in same boat with s8.. i try to download anything in oculus store and it just sits at 0% then later says download failed... cant seem to find some legit help anywhere other then a few shady third party hacks from a year ago.. completely ridiculous this has no clear solution yet
**EDIT** I may have found a solution for myself.. there was an ad blocker i was using, once removed new downloads started to work.. the old "not installed folder" ones still failed but now seem to be starting to work also.. can now confirm this appears to have been my issue a "third party ad blocker"
