Cannot Get GearVR to Work on My S6, Black Screen Issue

Hello,

I just bought Gear VR today and I connected it to my Samsung Galaxy S6 (6.0.1). I have successfully installed Oculus software and downloaded some apps, however when I connect my phone to the VR headset, I only see the black screen. When I remove the phone from the headset, it says "Calibrating Gear VR..." after which an X appears in the corner, and doesn't allow me to do anything. I have to force restart my phone as it doesn't respond to any other function.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Samsung Gear VR services, Oculus Home etc. but it didn't help. I also did a factory reset for my phone, to no avail. I've also spent many hours looking for a solution, but nothing works for me.

I am not sure whether it's my phone or my Gear VR headset, but something is not right. It seems that my phone is unable to run Oculus Home (or whatever it's supposed to run) when I connect it to the headset. I hear that "connect sound", but then the screen goes black and I can only restart it by holding volume down and power buttons.

Could you please tell me what to do?
Thanks!
