Gear and Gear FitMy new Gear 360 arrived yesterday. I installed a memory card, then plugged the camera in with the included USB cable and my Samsung charger. The manual said to let it fully charge, so I left it plugged in overnight. This morning I tried to power up the device, but there is no response whatsoever. No lights, no display, nothing. I know the charger is good because it charges my S7 just fine. The manual isn't very detailed, so I'm not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Gear and Gear FitHey everyone. I had same problem. I find out if thi happen you must take off a battery, than press on button(make sure camera is off from energy). Work as some kind of reset. Than put battery back on and put camera on charge. Should work now and charging may work at any kind of suitable charger. If you find other way please let us know. THX.
Good luck
ps my camera start work this way. Hope do not need do this everytime.
ps2: When camera on even on full charge, doesnt work for long and eat lot of energy even you got it on charger at all the time non stop, it will drain your battery. (Im asking myself which idiotic idea was this?)

Gear and Gear FitHello everyone,
I had the same issues and did the following to resolve it:
1) Press and hold the camara power button for 10 seconds
2) The blue "bluetooth" light comes on, then goes off
3) Press the power button again and now it will charge normally
I think it's similar to resetting your laptop or iPhone device, just press the power button for 10 seconds. Give it a try and good luck.

Gear and Gear Fittl:dr - don't give up. Try it again. Good luck.
Here to say I experienced the same thing as everyone else pretty much. Brand new dead Gear360 out of the box. Plugged it into anything and everything including a portable power bank. No luck. I started the return process with the supplier. That was a week ago [support was very very slow]. Today I went to box it up to return it and thought 'what the hell I'll try charging it again', aaaaaaaand wtf, the light goes on and it starts charging! And this was with the supplied 3rd party AC/USB adapter.
w00t. Camera works. It's pretty cool.

Gear and Gear FitI tried PC usb port, different type of charger, powerbank and all didn't work. When I connect it to my S8 (Type C to Type C) the red charging light is up. I'm going to leave it for a while before transfering to a wall charger. Thanks for sharing the tips here.
