The mobile device is hot to the touch

When using apps that require a higher amount of power than normal or when using apps on your device for an extended period, the mobile device may feel hot to the touch. When the Gear VR detects a high temperature, a message appears on the screen warning you to stop wearing the Gear VR and to wait for it to cool down. Stop using the Gear VR until the mobile device cools down, and then resume use. This is normal and should not affect the mobile device's lifespan or performance.

The image on the screen looks tilted or skewed

Remove the Gear VR and place it on a flat surface with the lenses facing forwards and the Focus adjustment wheel at the top. Wait 5–7 seconds before using it again.

The image on the screen is moving randomly

The Gear VR can be affected by magnetic interference created by items, such as computers, TVs, or electric cables. Avoid using the Gear VR in areas affected by magnetic interference.
