Touch control not working on galaxy s6

Jump to Best Response

Hello,

I'm curious to know if anyone managed to make the touch gamepad to work on this specific device.

Galaxy S6 isn't officially supported but I can play games no problem with a physical controller.

Thanks

Hi @Darkoala. Thanks for trying out this experimental feature! To answer your question directly, we are unable to troubleshoot an experimental feature on an older device, but if it sounds like you and others are experiencing this as a result of a recent change, please be sure to fill out the feedback section of the Stadia app with this report.

Thanks for making Stadia better!

Just to clarify, the notification to play with touch controls doesn't appear when you start a game with no controller?

Yes, the notification appears. The on-screen buttons show up also and vibrate when they are pressed. But they don't do anything in the games. Only the stadia and screen capture buttons work.

I have read other threads mentioning this problem since a recent software update. At this point I believe it's not tied to my device specifically.

Thanks

Thanks for your answer. First time trying touch control here so I can't say if it ever worked before, just curious if other folks got it to work on their g s6.

Hi samsung galaxy s20 fe 4g variant user here. I experince the touchgamepad to not respond correctly when playing on chromecast. What i experince here is that touch gamepad makes this weird bug where when i press throttle or steer in the crew 2 the camera messes up and acting crazy. Dunno if this is a samsung only issue or touchgamepad is just too buggy. I have here a video where i try to steer and throttle. https://stadia.google.com/capture/3f456713-92fe-4a3e-8753-cb47c892a4b2

Hi everyone,
This is an older post so we're going to go ahead and lock it now. If anyone still needs help after trying the suggestions here, I'd recommend creating a new post so that you can get better visibility in our community.


Thank you,
