    I'm having some trouble connecting Unity Remote 4 to Unity 5. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S5. I've searched a bit and the other solutions with other phones aren't working for me.

    What I've tried so far:
    I installed the Android SDK by using Android Studio. I'm not sure if that's part of the problem but either way. I installed the Google USB Driver, the 5.0 (API 21) and 5.1 (API 22) SDKs. My phone is running on Android 5.0. All the SDK tools (Platform tools and build tools) are installed. I set USB Debugging, Stay Awake and Allow Mock Locations in the Developer Options on my phone. I set the Android SDK path in Unity (Program Files/Android/android-sdk) I set, in the Unity Editor Settings, Device to Any Android Device. I made sure my computer sees my phone, which it does. And I tried to open Unity first then the Unity Remote and Unity Remote first then Unity Engine. And set Android as my Platform in Build Settings. And I've tried plugging my phone in a USB 2.0 and a USB 3.0.

    All that and each time I press the play button nothing happens in the phone. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I tried using Unity 4 and Unity 5.

    If my OS is a factor, I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit.

    If the following information is needed:

    Hardware Version: G900P.04
    Model number: SM-G900P
    Android version: 5.0
    Kernal version: 3.4.0

    If any other information is needed I will provide it. Anyone have a solution to my problem? Thank you.

    I had some initial trouble with Windows 8 64 / Galaxy S6, but fixed it by restarting Unity, running the app first while connected, then Unity.

    Is your phone connected as a media device (MTP)? You should be able to see it in My Computer and access the storage. It was connected like that when it worked for me. If not / regardless, you might have to try completely wiping all Android drivers / devices and starting again from scratch (just plugging the phone in worked for me though) - they can be a real bitch if something goes wrong with the initial setup.
