Should my Samsung Gear VR Motion Controller be working already?
My Samsung Gear VR Motion Enabled Controller arrived yesterday, THANK YOU SAMSUNG AND OCULUS! My two modest VR Startups: @SchoolHomeVR & @NextWorldVR will make great and unexpectedly creative use of this powerful tool in disguise.
My question: Do I have access to the Motion Controller SDK (The SDK available to Oculus Gear VR Developers online)?
I do see a scene called 'GearVRControllerTest.unity' and when I compile and build it, it shows in my Gear VR, a seemingly 'live' list of all the Controller devices controls, but DOES NOT update when I press a button, translate or turn the controller,...

Please Help! I am ready to incorporate the Controller to 3 Apps which are nearly ready for upload!
I have it paired in the Oculus App, and it saw it right away, BUT I did notice, in the Oculus app under the 'More' menu, the CONTROLLERS Section says 'Coming Soon' underneath the word 'Controllers', that gives me some hope that an update (any minute! :) might suddenly 'enable' my precious gift of a Gear VR Motion enabled Controller! ...
THANK YOU !

- Maybe, it looks like I found my own potential answer, https://www.wired.com/2017/03/gear-vr-just-took-huge-leap-forward-thanks-oculus/
If any actual Oculus rep could answer that would be great. - Hi,

Thanks but, as I said in my post, I STARTED THERE.. I Downloaded the SDK.. Compiled the ControllerTest.unity.. I have no problem with Unity integration. I'm asking other Unity users who have a WORKING controller (if there are any yet).
Hmmm. I don't want to have to type my whole question again, How to ask more simply.. THE CONTROLLER IS NOT WORKING.. It does not Pair, it does not do ANYTHING, (even simple functions like in the main Menu) I can get the light to come on by holding the Home Button (it goes into pairing mode)... BUT there is no way to PAIR it in my GALAXY.. (This is my first Oculus Forum post, Unity is my package, it seemed the right place to ask other Unity ppl..) Thanks for trying though!

Hello! Looks like an app Workaround is required for Note 4 (etc) Än APK available from Oculus Support- The Controller works wonderfully now on my Note 4. It's Wonderful! Anybody happen to know the most advanced version of Unity that supports it?
