Hey, all. I just got a brand new Gear VR off Amazon, and for the first day it was working perfectly fine, but later in the day I noticed when plugging my phone into the device Oculus wouldn't launch, it would just stay at my phone's home screen. So I thought the device must be defective and requested an exchange. Fast forward to just now and even in the new unit Oculus doesn't launch. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software numerous times to no effect. Something strange that I noticed is happening is when I take the little connector nub out of the gear and put it into my phone on its own, Oculus will attempt to launch and send the phone back to its home screen, after which when I try to plug in my charger it won't connect (but if i restart my phone the usb port works again). I have no idea what any of this could mean, and I've searched all around for this problem online and I can't find anyone who's had it. Apologies if this post is written poorly, but making my own thread was the last resort, I felt.
EDIT: started working miraculously
Edit again: After installing all the software from the prompt the phone won't connect
