play cardboard games with daydream headset. controller doesn't work

[pjs37]

I could be wrong here but as I understand it the application developer needs to at minimum update their apps to support Daydream controller emulation. Not every cardboard app will support the Daydream controller. The SDK support is now there but it must be implemented.

Try restarting your phone? try resetting the controller by plugging it into a USB cable and pressing the App and Home buttons together? Restarting/reseting stuff usually fixes most basic problems.

You can get SOME cardboard apps to work without the controller, IF you turn off NFC, problem is in some cases you then have no way to select things, although some apps will autorun, or you can stare and select. JauntVR is an example of a stare to select app that works in Daydream with NFC off, with an iPhone for example. Of course we no longer need to do this as the JauntVR developer worked with Google and it is now officially supported and available in the Google store. BUT I had it way early.
