I was super annoyed once I received my Samsung Gear 360 Camera, the free gift for preordering the Note 8, and found that I couldn't get it to turn on. After trying most of the steps that I found on Samsung's community forums related to this topic ([ Ссылка ]), none of which worked for me, I decided to try something new.
This is what I did to finally get it to charge:
1) Using the USB Type C cable it came
2) Insert 32 GB Micro SD Card (Samsung brand, not sure if that matters though)
3) Based on other suggestions, I lightly slammed the Gear 360 down on it's base on my wooden desk
4) Plugged it into the low voltage port on the Power Brick
- It actually matters which side you have it plugged into the Gear 360.
- The first time it I plugged it into the low voltage USB port on my power bank it did nothing
- I unplugged the USB Type C Cable from my Gear 360, then replugged it in the opposite way
- Right after I plugged it in the opposite way (there are only two possible ways to plug it into your Gear 360), I noticed the lights turn on on my power bank for like 3 seconds, then go off...
- I knew I was onto something since the power bank momentarily recognized something was plugged into it, but it did not hold a charge
- Left the USB Type C cabled plugged into the Gear 360 in the direction that caused the power brick to momentarily activate
5) Go to your Note 8 box and find the USB to USB Type C dongle. It's a little nub looking thing that you can plug any USB cable into on one end (female) that has a USB Type C male end on the other.
6) Leaving the cable that the Gear 360 plugged into the camera, I connected the dongle to the USB side of the cable
7) I have a USB Type C port on my desktop PC computer so I plugged the Type C Dongle into the open USB Type C port on my computer and afte like 2 seconds I heard a ding and saw that red light above the power button turn on!
- It also worked when I plugged the USB C dongle into my Note 8, so if you don't have a laptop or desktop with a USB C input, try plugging it into your phone.
