I tried multiple times, I saw attentions about power (cam <40%, phone <15%), fully charged both devices, deleted data of Gear 360 and Samsung Accessory apps, after that firmware downloads again and now I see error like "copy firmware to camera failed, press OK to try again". Reset cam setting, formated SD card, tried another card, triple-checked which Wi-Fi network is active and even pressed "Forget this network" for my home Wi-Fi (after downloading the firmware) to make sure it's not ever connected while trying to copy but... Still no success. With both 2k&4k versions.

Any news from Samsung? May be they announced a update or whatever? Stitching on phone results higher bitrate.... This is insane, what were they thinking...
[Android Software Development] Bin4ry:
I guess that there is an "issue" with connecting to the Gear360 Wifi through Wifi Direct, since you need both Data and Wifi running at the same time for the software update process. So i think it won't work yet this simple. Maybe to be able to update just borrow a samsung phone from a friend for a few minutes, for now. I will try to find a way to make it working when a newer firmware arrives, but my camera is already on the actual version so i cannot test the mechanism ;)

As for samsung: no idea myself, they don't talk to me :P

[Android Software Development] ViGilant_spb:
I wish they did. No support for any other devices is so stupid...
[Android Software Development] jcc10:
Thanks for the fix.

Notable: I could not find a [ro.build.manufacturer] so I instead changed the only thing with a value of [samsung] [ro.product.manufacturer] to something like [notsamsung]

Took a reboot or two for it to accept, now I just need a camera to actually do a test :p My one should get here on 8/30/16 but who knows!

BTW: Thanks for the awesome port. And shame on samsung for locking the app.

Bluetooth issue

Works great !

But I also have bluetooth issue now: "Paramètres s'est arrêté" when I try to connect any bluetooth / no access to Bluetooth menu (sorry my phone is french speaking)

I try to desinstall the app and Samsung Accesory Service but no impact.

For information, I have also all my vids now playing with the app (and crashing for none 360 files). But resolved with desinstall of course.

Can anyone help ?

[Android Software Development] Klausemann:
Use the app BToolkit to delete the pairing of your Gear 360. This pairing messes up your Bluetooth settings. You need to pair the Gear 360 next time you open the Gear 360 app again. So far I haven't found any workaround besides drleting the pairing and repair every time I use the camera.

Gear 360 - adjustable shutter speed?

Hello,

First of all, I would like to thank You Bin4ry for your awesome work on alternative Gear 360 app for other smartphones. But also I would like to ask, do You see guys any possibility to manage the shutter speed in this camera? I love the quality of this product but the only thing is missing in this Gear 360 is possibility to shoot long exposure photos. What do You think? I bet that this is a matter of camera firmware and not the control app.
[Android Software Development] spiral33:
Thnaks for your work, your are awesome.

I buy a Gear 360 thanks to your and hope I will not have issues with my note 4
[Android Software Development] jcc10:
There is ISO settings if you hit the gear icon.

It's not great but the camera say's that it will only go up to what ever the max option is in the protocol and doing higher will probably cause big issues.

Ok, on a side note: I can do everything except view the raw feed from the camera (Trying to view dual lenses since it requires the least CPU time, I can't see the live feed. I however can mess with all of the settings and take photo's. This is ultimately a minor issue but a annoyance none the less.

On a side note: could we get around to reverse engineering the protocol it uses to control the camera? It seems to be a SOAP protocol on the Samsung side but I have no expertise in SOAP. Could someone give their input on if this is viable? (Also if we could build a desktop remote app. As in windows, linux, and mac... Probably something in Java.)
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Yes, but not using this app. You can get remote shell access through some hacking.

I realize that this is an old thread, but just wondering if anyone is still here for help.

In the app, the "Gallery" option crashes. But the raw images/videos are stored on the SD card. They are dual fish-eye (front and back). I have the latest Gear 360 ActionDirector. But when I import a photo, or a video, I get "Image stitching unsuccessful". I am also trying 'hugin', for the photos, but still haven't t gotten a successful run.

Any reason for this? Anybody still using this? Or is there another android app that works with the gear 360?

TIA

Device: Huawei P20 Light

SW: Android 9

EMUI:9.1.0

info:

if you want import photos.

1- Record / take all photos

2- open last photo wiht kamera menu right down side(after take)

3-Press Back button

4-Select all photos (want to import)

5-Save
[Android Software Development] t214bonney:
The problem I am having is that the android app won't go to the gallery: it crashes every time. I can connect and take photos/videos, but I can't get to them except by going directly to the SD card. There I find all the photos as JPEG, and videos as mp4. Also, these "raw" images/videos are not the correct format. At least not correct for Action Director, or any other s/w.

I guess, now, what I need is what the correct format for these should be. Maybe, via ffmpeg, I can "fix" them, so I can use them in any of the photo/video apps on my pc.

Are there any specs for what these should be?

thx for replying.

PS: I've attached a raw photo from my gear 360.
[Android Software Development] Adam3Sixty:
If u could give some more info about your devices and OS, that would be great.

I have used this app for many years, but now being on Android 11 the app is broken, not thru the fault of @Quinny899 but because Samsung abandoned support and the latest (and final) app they released can not be back ported/hacked/modded.

Obviously, I have no idea about the issue with the pc software, I never had any luck using that. I always used this app, until I didn't, lol.
[Android Software Development] judodave:
Is this thread still alive? and what is the chance we could get this working on the newer android versions? Would really like to use the gear 360 for trackdays, but i want to edit the files on my phone because there are more effects in the app.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
It works fine on Android 12, probably 13 too but I've not tested it.
[Android Software Development] judodave:
I'm on a Galaxy s20 Ultra 5g but i cant manage to get it to work. App keeps loading and never goes to live view or to manage files. Tried everything including the usual airplane mode, wifidirect etc. etc.

Any tips to maybe get it to work correctly?
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
There are no further tips other than the ones in the first post.
[Android Software Development] judodave:
Well thanks for the help but it's not going to work on my s20 ultra unfortunately. Isn't there any other way of using the cam right now?
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Not that I know of, other than hooking it up to a PC or using one of the file server mods.

[Android Software Development] TheOneTheOnlyTheOne:
Hey Guys, so i am having a double issue here, trying to find my way through this.

The current official app for the gear 360 no longer has the Live Broadcast option, so i started looking and found this, which installs and all is fine but will not launch instead will be stuck on Loading, be it facebook or youtube. tried every reset possible.

Also tried connecting the Camera directly through usb to a pc, it does make a ping sound but it will not show up anywhere.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Mobile : S10+

OS : Windows 11
[Android Software Development] dave2103:
Hi guys, I bought a gear 360 2017 model (cheap) it works as it should & other than the same old gallery shutting down issues, the app does as it should. My issue is the photo quality, I can't change the resolution from 3 MP either in the app (greyed out) or on the gear 360, on the camera as there's no other option than 3 MP!

Any advice/help would be great

Thanks.

Has anyone had luck with the OnePlus Nord N10?

I've installed com.samsung.android.gear360manager_1.4.00.4.apk OK, Connects Bluetooth OK, unset the auto wi-fi mobile data via developer settings, ran the adb command 'settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0'

I set the wi-fi password, I get the prompt "this network has no internet access, use anyway?" I click yes, but the app just keeps trying to connect to operate the camera even though it seems to be wi-fi connected.

I've also tried wi-fi direct, that invites the camera but the camera fails to connect and the same results occur. Tried 5G only too...

Anything else to try?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Have been trying everything mentioned in this thread to try and connect gear 2017 with Reno 10x running on Android 11. Unable to still access the gear gallery or live view. It asks me to connect manually to wifi which i do but still ui keeps loading the it prompts again to manually connect to gear 360 wifi. Tried wifi Direct as well, after being invited further nothing changes and no access to live view. The gear is functional where i take images/videos and view them in action director. Anybody having success on non Samsung device, pl share your work around..
[Android Software Development] blue25i:
Exactly the same problem here. (Galaxy S20 @ Android 12 - latest update)
[Android Software Development] TecCheck:
In Settings -> Mod Settings you can turn off "Automatically open settings". When you try to go into the gallery or into the live view, connect to the gear360 wifi through the quick toggles. This should work about 30% of the time
[Android Software Development] gseonkid91:
So, i have a rather long work around. For this i powered on a spare redmi note 4 that was lying around. It was already running lineage os 18 and when tried to connect it did not work, suspecting that this might be android version issue, flashed asop extended rom of Android pie(just the one i got in pie rom Google search first). It did not work though, then went to mod setting and forced wifi direct, and there it got connected. The live view, recording etc works well and redmi note 4 is powerful enough to render photos within seconds but videos can take time depending on duration of shoot. Now only inconvenience is i have to carry around redmi note 4 wherever i take gear 360, i think i can live with this :p... long story short this works on pie rom via wifi direct, so far have not faced disconnection although my demo time was just over 35 mins, will share more when i use it for longer duration
[Android Software Development] tigsandmitch:
I tried to get this working with my Fold 3 but to no avail. Best option is to buy a cheap S6 or something similar and use that to get the footage off the camera as the official app still works with that phone, then just send yourself the files through nearby share (for speed as bluetooth is too slow). Only option that let me still get use from this camera :(
[Android Software Development] mcrattus:
Thanks for all your work on this.

I'm having a few problems on a Pixel 5.

I was able to follow the instructions and connect to the (2017) Gear 360.

Once I'm in the app though - I can't look at the live view or the gallery. The following happens

1. It states connecting - opens wifi as it should, I connect to the network (got the password as instructed), it connects successfully, but just sits on loading.

2. I checked all permissions, tried a few times, same thing for both live view and gallery.

3 I reset phone and device and try again. - Phone now thinks the camera is a 2016 camera. Same problem.

I have not tried any firmware updating

Any ideas what I should try?
[Android Software Development] arpcpro:
Which large SD cards can we use?

I have a 2016 model with firmware C200GLU0APE4 and I cannot get it to work with a Kingston 128GB Canvas Select micro SD Card (SDXC). I've tried with ExFAT and FAT32, then completely rewrite it using SD Formatter and deleting the 16Mb unallocatted partition, and nothing works. The camera "sees" the card and shows 9338 photos available, but when I shoot it beeps and shows an SD card with an exclamation mark. The photo count then changes to zero.

With a 32Gb SDHC works fine in both ExFAT and FAT32.

By the way, there seems to be a new version of the Android app. I have 1.5.00.1.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
I have a Samsung 128GB one in mine and it works fine.

The newer versions of the apps cannot be ported, as stated in the first post.
[Android Software Development] TecCheck:
I've been working on a replacement for the app. Currently it's in "beta" and not done yet but I'm working on it. If you'd like to contribute I'd be more than happy. Link to the Repository
[Android Software Development] blablabla42:
Hi! I was struggling for hours to connection my gear 360 2017 R210GLU0ARB2 with Huawei P30 Pro running 1.4.00.4-FW.

It's paired and connects on bluetooth. Then when I press "Kamera" (german tranlastion) it opens the wifi dialog, and I connect there to Gear 360(F9E8) - which works out using the password from iOs connection menu.

Then when I go "back" it shows me the gear 360 app and "Loading..." (Lädt in german)... And after some times it comes back to the wifi dialog where Gear 360(F9E8) is already connected (without internet of course).

Notr sure what to do... maybe I forgot to set some privileges or something else? I installed the "Samsung accessory service" manually using this version : com.samsung.accessory_3.1.96.30104-319630104_minAPI15(arm64-v8a,armeabi,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com

Any idea what could be done? Thank you!

Andre
[Android Software Development] TecCheck:
If you go into Settings -> Mod Settings. you can disable that the app automatically opens the wifi settings. Then if you wan't to connect to your gear's wifi network use the quick settings. This works for me at least...
[Android Software Development] blablabla42:
Thank you TecCheck!

What do you mean by "quick settings"? The control panel?

I tried this too, but the effekt is the same : the phone is connected to the Geat 360 wifi... But in the app is only showing "loading..." :-/

Any other idea? Some one?

Thanks again!

PS : I made the phone forget the default wifi network, so it would not connect there automatically. Also deactivated mobile data, just to get sure.

Hi mcrattus,

I unfortunately have exactly the same problem.

I also have a Pixel 5 and a (2017) Gear 360.

Just like you, I get to the step where I connect to wifi and go back to the app.

From then on it just loads and takes me back to wifi settings over and over again.

Have you been able to find a solution yet?

- Samsung Gear 2017 Model SM-R210

- Pixel 5 with Android 12

- Samsung Gear 360 Manager 1.4.00.4

Also trying with a Pixel 5.

I had it working more regularly with my previous phone. I used WiFi direct and set the MOD setting to not open wifi.

On Pixel 5, I can connect to it by Wifi Direct- for about 1/10th of a second, then it goes back to available.

[Android Software Development] mkuroyar:
After updating from 2016 to 2018 firmware (using SD as post) my camera now is not responsing at all - no reaction to connect pc or charging, also no button press reaction. Also i recieved attached logs.

If someone has a solution please let me now :(
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
If you tried to install R210GLU0ARB2 on a 2016 camera then there's your problem, that's a firmware for the 2017 camera. C200 is the 2016 model.
[Android Software Development] mkuroyar:
Yes, i google it, it was R210GLU0ARB2, and i understand that is my bad. But is any solution for my problem? I also found few peoples with same problem (in range day - month), looks like they too not found a solution. Is any way for flash / ressurect? Any services told me that C200 is not support anymore unfortunately
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Not that I know of. Flashing the firmware like this was never an official thing anyway, so it's very unlikely to be recoverable.
[Android Software Development] mkuroyar:
Understand about it, but looks like there is no no-official option for this too for now :(. Strange thing - camera after this update doesnt react to charge or plug in to pc - maybe flashing can cause physical damage too? Because no reaction at hardware give no chanse for do something with software
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
If it's not charging, then I would guess it's also broken some communications (ie. drivers). It might also be charging but simply not react as the software is broken.

Considering the firmware update method used here bypasses every check and flashes it using the command line, I'd say your device is effectively bricked and nothing we can do will fix it.
[Android Software Development] mkuroyar:
Uh, so sad news. Anyway thank you for feedback, now i can move forward and dont waste my time with googling

I found it. https://opensource.samsung.com/uploadSearch?searchValue=R210

Not compiled but that's clearly the easiest way forward for R210GLU0AQC6. The download is going ridiculous slow but I'll host it on my mega account and link it here when it completes. Hopefully someone puts it on GitHub for redundancy

Funny enough, R210GLU0AQC6 worked better for me than R210GLU0ARB2. Now I can't connect to MacOS at all... so I updated those apps and they're no longer building for Mojave, so the MacOS Live Browser just crashes. I'm so far behind where I was 2-3 hours ago :,)

Is there a way to connect with `adb` on this unit or should I just keep on with Telnet? answered below

I want the 360 for two reasons: 1) selfies from a selfie stick and 2) 360 webcam for streaming

This is extremely helpful. I went down a similar deep dive several years ago and I'm having to refresh myself on everything...

I set up a local RTMP server and had the Live Broadcast app relay the data to me there. Which I then passed into OBS

I suspected there was an RTMP stream to the Live Broadcast software, and thought about impersonating Live Broadcast to slurp the stream. But now with source code... I'll be working to expose a usable stream. Set the hostname and api key in a .yaml file on the SD card or something. Get the app out entirely, less points of failure

It would be interesting to see if we could hack the i2c bus and send straight HDMI out to a capture card. No lag that way
[Android Software Development] omarbrathwaite:
Issue solved itself thanks.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
We already have the source code for R210, as well as C200, they're attached to this post, since GitHub charges a premium to host files that big. Nobody has compiled it successfully as far as I know.
[Android Software Development] greensctx:
Those files are corrupt. It was served from Samsung's site as one working archive and now it sits on xda-developers as two invalid archives... I tried unzipping with Archive Utility, Keka, and The Unarchiver (even downloaded twice) and I got "invalid checksum" every time

I'll attach the compiled `.bin` on a reply when I get it built. Right now I'm spinning up a VM to run apktool so I don't have to pollute my system with the Java JRE 😬
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
I just redownloaded them, renamed them to .zip.001 and .zip.002 (since XDA wouldn't take them in that format they were renamed), and opened them in WinRAR. Extracted fine, checksums fine. They're not corrupt - they're one archive in two pieces.

Took care of that one last night :]

I made notes along the way. Some of the docs are out of date and some of it was straight up written by a person who was smelling toast at the time

I can post an Lubuntu VirtualBox snapshot with everything up and running too if anyone's interested.

I don't know how to make these smaller built components (vImage, bootloader, etc) into the one .bin file. Was hoping someone would be down to just walk me through it once
