Alright yesterday I got my galaxy s ii and set it up on ST. Previously I was using net10. Both services used At&t. I ported my number and the process was instant. I wasn't sure if I would have problems with these mvnos even though they are both tracfone companies.

Data works great but I disabled packet data to prevent over usage since wifi is available to me most of the time. Another happy customer so far!

I am trying to get the remote viewfinder app provided by Samsung on Google Play Store to work with this camera (linking up to my Galaxy Note II) but it just doesn't work.

Spent some time talking to a tech support guy at Samsung, but although he was friendly, he didn't have any knowledge of this model (!)

Has anyone managed to get this feature working?
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
Apparently the EK-GCAM100 is not on the list of supported devices. Wait for a bit and the software may be updated. This is for Samsung's lineup of smart cameras(wifi-enabled basic camera) not Galaxy Cameras.
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apprentice:
Thanks Adam, I did see them using a Galaxy S3 in the Ads to control the camera, so I guess it's an upcoming feature. Hope it's not too long as this was one of the features I really need.

There is an app called Camera Remote https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.busywww.cameraremote on the Play Store, it does work with this camera but is not wholly reliable and has crashed a couple of times. I was told by Samsung tech support that the official app will support this camera soon though.

Remote Viewfinder feature now available

I too have been trying to find this feature. I purposely bought this camera because of this feature (& others). I recently updated over the air on my camera to Android version 4.1.2 from 4.1.1. Now in the camera app under the share menu, is the 'Remote viewfinder' feature. I select this and it asks me to connect my smartphone to the Wi-Fi hotspot that it's created so it can open the app on my phone. I do this but nothing happens. Any idea's what is wrong? My phone is the Galaxy S3. But atleast the feature IS now on the camera, it just won't work on mine.
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apprentice:
I noticed the option appears on the camera since updating the ROM. I tried to get this working with no success. I believe the Remote Viewfinder app that Samsung have in the Play Store needs updating. If we raise a support ticket on their website as I have done they may start looking into it sooner.

I really want this feature badly too.
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mancuk29:
I've raised a ticket too I'm holding off on buying the camera until I know remote viewfinder will work with my note 2 and the galaxy camera

[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maattu12:
Just found that there is an update avaliable for the 'Remote Viewfinder' app in the Play Store. But in the 'What's New' box it just states: "Improved compatibility for smart phone". Which is rather vague. I updated and I still cannot get it to work. Just thought I'd let you know. Anybody else have anything to add?
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apprentice:
Report it!

Anyone wishing to be able to use this feature should head over to Samsung's support pages and add a support ticket. If enough people vent their frustration over this then maybe something will get done. After all, the "Share to Remote Viewfinder" is an option when taking pictures with this camera so it SHOULD work.

I raised the issue and got this reply:

"Thank you for contacting Samsung.

I am sorry your camera is not working with the Remote Viewfinder, I

understand this is frustrating if my colleagues on the phone support

were meant to get back to you.

I have raised the problem with our product specialist who will deal

directly with Samsung HQ on getting this problem solved, he has promised

to get back to me as soon as possible.

I would ask that you be patient with us and email back in approximately

one week so that we can update you on the situation.

I apologise for the inconvenience this has caused."

A week has passed so I will be chasing it up.

So get your support request in too today! .. http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/EK-GC100ZWABTU

Further from Samsung

UPDATE:

I got a further reply today and interestingly (and frustratingly) seem to imply there is no problem! This is what they said:

Thank you for contacting Samsung.

I have just heard back for the product specialist who said these have

been tested and prove to work fine on the camera and the Galaxy Note 2.

I have been asked to check that you are running the following versions

of the software on the devices?

Remote Viewfinder V2.2.8 (Updated 14th January 2013)

MobileLink V1.7.10 (Updated 14th December 2012)

Please check this for us and give us an update.

I am running latest versions of software (well version 2.22 of the remote viewfinder - latest on Play Store any way) I have replied to them with this info, will await what they say next, and update here again .

I am now wondering if it has anything to do with the fact I am rooted on both devices and the Note 2 has a stock based custom ROM on it.

It would be useful to know from those experiencing this problem, whether they are rooted and/or on custom ROM's
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmrmrmr:
My all devices are rooted:

Galaxy Camera rooted

Galaxy Note rooted

Galaxy S3 rootes

Remote viewfinder is the latest version.

Doesn't work from both phones.

I don't have GSM card in the Galaxy Camera. Does that matter ?

My language is set to Turkish on all devices. Does that matter ?
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenY2K3:
Well I'm running sock ROMs on both, just rooted, the trouble is all the apps available are client connecting, none are host (I.e. one for the camera) what website did you ask for a support request on, perhaps the more people complain, the more they'll actually look into it and see it doesn't work as per they're ad campaign.
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmrmrmr:
that's correct; we should all open tickets to their support site. from same channel.

meanwhile, I installed VMlite VNC Server on the GC and a free VNC viewer on my Galaxy S3.

It works. Until they fix the original software.
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedicemaster:
something really odd happens on my note 2 if I try remote viewfinder.

I enabled it on my camera, and used the Wi-Fi settings on my note 2(as instructed by the app) to connect to my camera.

but for some reason when I launch the remote viewfinder app on my phone it disconnects from the network broadcasted by my camera and disables it so it doesn't reconnect automatically.

this makes no sense.

my galaxy camera is on version JZO54K.GC100XXBLL7
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenY2K3:
Stop press!!!

I've managed to get it working!

Go to the "Samsung App Store" search for "remote viewfinder for galaxy camera" and install it on your phone.

Go to your camera and load up the camera app, press the share button and choose, remote viewfinder. It will create a WiFi network, connect your phone to the network your camera creates, then open the app you installed in your phone and that's it, see the attached pic!

so it was indeed a problem with the smartphone app.
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenY2K3:
Looks like they must have tweaked it to use the connectivity of the GC, must be too different from the original app, for them to post a dedicated app for it at least.

Latest news regarding this issue

UPDATE: Had an email from Samsung Technical Support with this helpful answer:

I am sorry this issue is still ongoing and thank you for your patience

while this is dealt with.

I had a conference with the camera specialist this morning and have some

more news now on what is causing the problem.

The Samsung Galaxy camera is a hybrid mobile phone/camera. As the

operating system is essentially the same as the Galaxy phone the problem

is the camera is actually being recognised as a phone which means

another device trying to connect as the remote will not find it. #

In fact if you had another Samsung camera you would find that you could

use the Galaxy camera to act as the remote.

Obviously now that the problem has been recognised engineers will need

to work on new software specifically for the Galaxy camera so I can only

advise you check back regularly to the Play store for this to arrive and

keep the camera up to date. Realistically I would expect this to be a

number of weeks off.

I apologise again for the inconvenience and hope that you can enjoy this

feature soon.

If you require any further assistance, please contact Samsung again and

we will be more than happy to help.

Remote view finder works perfect
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mancuk29:
Sorry better explain

If your on 4.1.2 load the program on your phone

Launch the app

Go to you gc and launch camera

Click arrow by home

On the share option dot and line with off shown click on this and select remote view finder

Your phone should find your camera give it a little bit of time think it sets up wifi link

You can then take pics with your phone

As said only 4.1.2 on the camera has the remote viewfinder option if you haven't got it, it won't work

I'm considering samsung wb800f for wifi remote viewfinder capability. Tried connecting LG phone to a demo cam at the store with the app. No luck. Also have tab3 8.0 that i want to try with that camera. Cam user manual says

Remote Viewfinder mode supports the [12M] and [2.1M] photo sizes only. I'm not sure what those icons mean, megapixels? Can anyone confirm remote viewfinder can support max resolution pictures and control video? I'm trading quality for convenience and prefer to have a phone for a viewfinder instead of a tilting or variangle LCD.

## Due to exams I won't be able to reply on questions, there are however many experienced developers active on this thread like [MENTION=3862405]SpaceCaker[/MENTION] & [MENTION=4578195]K.A.[/MENTION] ##

I have seen a lot of guides on how to decompile with Apk Tool, but none are noob friendly, so I thought I would post this.

What You Need:

ApkTool

Java JDK/JRE 32 bit

Super Basic Cmd/terminal knowledge (My 5 year old brother can handle this)

Download Apk Tool Here: (Must be this one)

Mega

First you need to extract that zip folder to anywhere you choose, preferably on root of c/drive E.g: C:/android/apktool extracting the files to 'apktool' folder.

Now copy the apk you would like to mod into your Apk Tool folder.

Command Prompt:

Open up your Command Prompt by going to:

Start -> run -> type : Cmd

Your cmd will probly look like this..

C:\users\yourname>

so type in

cd.. [COLOR="Red"](Yes include the '..' and press enter after you type each command.)[/COLOR]

this will get you to back directory so now you will see

C:\users>

so type again

cd..

you should now see this:

C:\>

now type in:

cd 'apktoo'l/'directory'

for me it looks like:

cd android/apktool

now you should see:

C:/android/apktool>

and you are in the apktool directory

Installing Framework:

Now that you are in directory we need to install the device's framework to your system for it to compile correctly so type this:

apktool if framework-res.apk

Remember: Devices like HTC / Samsung / Huawei have other frameworks that are used in their apps too, sometimes you need to install them too.

This will install the devices framework to your system. (need to do this)

Decompiling:

Now to decompile the apk you want to edit, type this:

apktool d framework-res.apk framework1

or

apktool d music.apk music

music.apk is the apk your decompiling

music is the folder you're creating for the decompiled apk

Now go about your business :victory:

Recompiling/Finished Product:

Now to recompile your new apk type this:

apktool b music music-new.apk

or

apktool b framework1 framework-res-new.apk

framework1 is the folder with your edited files

framework-res-new.apk is your new apk file

We are NOT done just yet, we cannot use the new apk's... we have to take what we did and add it back to the original apk file to keep proper signature

use something like 7zip, take the 'resources.arcs' file and any other xml files you edited out of the "-new" apk and copy them into Original apk

Your new modded APK is now ready, Congrats! :highfive:

If you get Java errors see here.

If you recompile fine but doesn't install " App couldn't not be installed " see here.

Good Luck Guys! :fingers-crossed:
