GearVR controller Not working as expected with Unity 2017.2.0f3

[MohamedElmazen]

Unity Plus 2017.2.0f3 

OVRPlugin 1.18.1 

GearVR controller 

i start new empty project && I
import the Oculus utilities 1.18.1 only.

i run the project Scene
"GearVrControllerTest".

the controller Orientation
values && all data update only when i press trigger or touch , so 
we need an work around for this problem  

because its working fine in Unity Plus 2017.1.1f1 

Thanks

Thanks 
here is my Temporary workaround 

edit OVRInput.cs  inside Update

Change:

        // Promote TrackedRemote to Active if one is connected and no other controller is active

if (activeControllerType == Controller.None)

{

            if ((connectedControllerTypes & Controller.RTrackedRemote) != 0)

            {

                activeControllerType = Controller.RTrackedRemote;

            }

            else if ((connectedControllerTypes & Controller.LTrackedRemote) != 0)

            {

                activeControllerType = Controller.LTrackedRemote;

            }

}

To:

        // Promote TrackedRemote to Active if one is connected and no other controller is active

if (activeControllerType > 0)

{

            if ((connectedControllerTypes & Controller.RTrackedRemote) != 0)

            {

                activeControllerType = Controller.RTrackedRemote;

            }

            else if ((connectedControllerTypes & Controller.LTrackedRemote) != 0)

            {

                activeControllerType = Controller.LTrackedRemote;

            }

}

i change activeControllerType  from Controller.None to activeControllerType  > 0
because we have already an Active Controller but it register to system only when i press trigger Button,
so with my edit we can force system to register the Controller.

i have working Controller now inside Unity 2017.2.0f3 .

hope it help till updating from Oculus.

@MohamedElmazen  Thanks for the patch code, still useful. I just fixed an issue with the Unity Asset Easy GearVR using it... I'm using OVR v 1.21.0
