Accessibility Services is needed in order to use your phone as a controller for VIVE Flow. If the

2. Search for accessibility and then tap it.
If multiple hits are found, tap the one that goes to the Accessibility page in the phone settings.
3. Tap Vive.
4. Tap the Use service On/Off switch to turn off, and then tap it again to turn it on.
5. Tap the back button until you get back to the VIVE app and check if permission is granted
for Accessibility Service.
