Gear VR Clicking on regular Unity buttons

Hi,

Ive been stuck with an issue for a while, the documentation on the unity website regarding VR is outdated and the VR sample doesn't contain the feature I am looking for.

I have a Canvas and inside of that canvas is a unity button (the one from UI->Button). when I build and run my game everything is visually correct. When looking at the button and tapping the touch pad on the gear vr the button is not being clicked.

Ive also noticed that when the button is focused (highlighted) and I click it gets unfocused which makes it look like Im clicking somewhere else.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

EDIT: Ive looked trough some posts and some samples, it seems like that the unity UI isnt compatible with VR out of the box? Writing support for it is no issue, I would just like to be sure Im not missing something :) Thanks
