i am

I am also facing the same issue on Oneplus pro 7 .I have used the same mobile with the same camera in the past and everything used to work but now they have stopped i dont know why and then i uninstalled everything installed the things as asked in this post except for the update of the firmware of the camera but it did not connected it keeps on saaying unable to connect so what could be the couz could it be the firmware of the camera or some thing ?
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
It's never the firmware.
[Android Software Development] muz_dani:
Should i try some older version of the app or services ?
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Unlikely to solve it either, it's most likely the Android version of the device. The only known fixes are in the first post. If that doesn't work, you will need an older phone.

Hi I have a s22 ultra, can't get the camera to connect. It finds it via Bluetooth, then says no connection, try again'.

Any ideas?
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
See above.

Hi, I have a Xiaomi Mi 11T I tried to connect my Gear 360, I have the samsung servieces installed and the 360 app, I could connect to bluetooth "pair it" but and in the Gear 360 app I see my camera I click on it but its not connects to it. IT says click "OK" to try again. Any solution? thanks in advance
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Try pairing it in the settings first maybe
[Android Software Development] Boggy23:
Doesn't have much to do with the Gear app, however, while trying to get the firmware flashed I accidentally managed to press a combination of buttons that generated the files attached. Couldn't make much sense of them tho thought it might be of interest to the devs or anyone as I couldn't see evidence of them anywhere else on the internet. Fascinating that the 360 (2017) is running Linux 3.2.0 could open a lot of potential??

Managed to flash the firmware using the solution from _PAB_ 👍. Modded Gear app works great on my OnePlus 6 (Android 11) and my Samsung A20e (2019) (Android 11) however seems to be par for the course that the "Camera", "Gallery", or "Live Broadcast" doesn't work on either of these devices, even when trying the directions given in the original post.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Looks like those are logs from the camera. There's open source code for the firmware and kernel, just nobody has ever built it nor flashed it.
[Android Software Development] lazarius9787:
What do you mean?
[Android Software Development] lazarius9787:
I have paired it with bluetooth, but it's not connects in the app , it says try again
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Not a lot I can really do without having the device to test unfortunately.
[Android Software Development] lazarius9787:
You have never encountered this error that its find the camera in the app and start to connect but fails everytime and its just tries again.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
No. It works fine with all of my test devices.
[Android Software Development] lazarius9787:
do you have DC maybe? Shiny#9016
[Android Software Development] gtMARK989:
Can you guys please help, I followed every step in the tutorial, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ with Android 12, I can't connect with the modded apk, so I installed Android 7 on my LG G7 (It had Android 10 and didn't work with that neither), I tried with EVERY single version of the apk that was posted here, I managed to connect to the camera but I can't open the Gallery, nor the Live View, so it's basically useless, cuz I can't do anything with the app.

What am I doing wrong?

With my friend's iPhone 13 it worked flawlessly, and it's super annoying that Samsung bricked this device for android users...
[Android Software Development] Z4780:
My OnePlus Nord keeps saying try again, too. I don't know how I could disable Wifi Direct on that Gear 360 since no option to turn off in Mode Settings. Anyone has solutions, plz?
[Android Software Development] Cosmo5125:
Hi there I have a Galaxy S23 Ultra and have succesfully installed the Gear360 apk. I have a Gear360 2017 and it has the latest FW on it from what I can tell. I can get the app to open and it connects to the camera via BT and WiFi however when I click on the Camera or Gallery selection it will just sit on the loading screen after it has asked to connect to WiFi. I have followed your instructions to the letter and can't get past this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Android Software Development] Bec07:
With the Nothing Phone updated to android 13 the last Samsung Accessory Service that connects is the last version of 2022 I could get. The two updates released in 2023 hang.

Samsung Accessory Service 3.1.96.30607 August 11, 2022 is the last one that works.

The default accessory service that gets installed on my Galaxy S9 with adroid 10 is the 31.92.90325. Everything from there up to 3.1.96.30607 connects to the Nothing Phone.

However the app posted here only works properly on the S9. On the Nothing Phone I can not access the camera feed or the files, it just takes me to the WiFi menu and hangs there, password or no password.

Where it gets worse is on the Samsung S22+ (Android 13) where no connection is possible. No combinations of vanilla app, this app or Acessory app allow connection. You can either retry indeffinitely or the Acessory App crashes.

Has anyone found a way to get the live camera feed and folder access working?

Gear 360 2017 latest firmware.

All phone vanilla fw, latest.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
The WiFi menu isn't a hang, it's prompting you to connect. If it's looping on that, then you need to follow the steps in the first post.

Link to download

Hi Bin4ry. Tks a lot for this! Just got my gear 360 and will try iy with my Z5.

Is any other link to download the app? (2k).

I have been trying since yesterday and it says i already made a download within 1h.

Can you send me by other link or email.

Tks a lot!!!
[Android Software Development] alichiddy:
Under those links click on "Spoiler" and you'll find 2 alternative links which work

Hello, I've used this on both my Sony Z5C (Android 6) and my Tablet Z3 Compact (Android 6).

It most of the time works good, but on the Tablet Z3 Compact I cant look at live view (maybe it's too weak).

Some times also I have to force kill the app, one time I think that the auto-off timer on the camera turned off the link while it was saving a lot of images to the phone.

Then it would connect to the tab but not to the phone, had to reboot the phone before it would work again :-p

But I'd say I'm pretty pleased, I mostly need it just for upload on vacation (to fb).

Thank you for the port!

What is the password of the gear 360 wifi network that is AP_Gear 360..?
[Android Software Development] alichiddy:
Mentioned Already ?
[Android Software Development] seven4grindBR:
thankx

so fine
[Android Software Development] kamzata:
Same here with my Nexus 6P (Android 7.0) and Gear 360 (firmware C200GLU0APE4). When I try to tap on "Live View mode button" or on "Gear 360" tab the phone tries to connect and suddenly it shows the message "Internet connection not active". If I go to wifi settings on the phone I can see an "AP_Gear 360(CC:C6:2A)" with just below wrote "No Internet Access Detected, won't automatically reconnect". Then if I tap over it, press forget and press again it asks for a password...

So, did you solve in some way? You said the password is the same of "Google Street View Mode"... but what is that password?

Thank you both.
[Android Software Development] ROSTOVisualFX:
Bin4ry, Thank you very much for Your work!

I have a SGS4 and the program loads right from your phone's current settings from the camera, but hangs on the connection of the viewfinder. I Can also view the list of files on my phone with previews, but copying to the phone as a rule is interrupted, and even if you have already copied the stitching also cut off half way.

I want to underline that I have not in fact SGS4 and Note3.

Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE+ GT-I9506 contains the components from Note3

Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8974, 2300 MHz | Adreno 330

If for my device not able to correct the viewfinder — please make another version of a modified application: cut preview module in real time. To phone it was only possible to change settings such as White balance, HDR, exposure and to make Shutter — WITHOUT viewing before shooting! This version will provide even greater compatibility with most Android devices.

I tried to put 2K and the 4K version, the difference is not noticed.

adb logcat download link:

P.S.

Also I am a designer and can help to resolve the issue with the UI icons. Please write in PM what the problem is.
[Android Software Development] Ruben82:
I'm using a samsung s6 and i have the same error (29%) when i try to save 4k videos.

Thanks for your effort in making the app universal :good:
[Android Software Development] andrewilley:
While hacking this app, I wonder if you happened to find where it stores the nadir image that it can superimpose over videos and stills? Would be great to be able to replace that with something that was user-generated earlier in Photoshop.

[Android Software Development] Bin4ry:
Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I will do this once the update from Samsung is out and the problems are still present. At the moment i don't have much time to work on this ;) If Samsung has not released a new version 4 weeks from now i will think about making a version which removes the liveview. But earlier is not possible for me ;)

For the image quality of the buttons, well the problem is that i needed to convert the images from samsungs proprietary SPR format to a PNG, this way other phones are also able to render the files. While converting there is a quality loss and to be honest: i just lived with it :D

Yes this is no problem at all, the nadir image is in the resource directory, if you want to add your own image you could just swap it with yours.

[Android Software Development] ROSTOVisualFX:
I can pay to speed up the development process.

Waiting 4 weeks is too long.

How much do You evaluate Your work and what currency is accepted for payment?

I have WebMoney WMZ ($), and there is a BTC-E Code ($).

The faster the result will be the more I am willing to pay.

And I did not understand. You log looked? For my device realtime preview is technically impossible? I can count on complete cutting of realtime preview only?
[Android Software Development] kamzata:
What did you use to decompress the apk file and decompile the .so library files? Did you get some readable C/C++ code? I saw you added 2 new lib files in \lib\arm64-v8a and in \lib\armeabi-v7a. The remaining files seems untouched, don't they?
[Android Software Development] Bin4ry:
Hey,

sorry i did not see before that you posted an log. I had a look now, yes i think in the current situation it is impossible to fix the Liveview for your device, because it seems that the propietary lib is not able to create the GL surface fully. Only thing i could try is to remove the timer which stops the liveview if it is not working properly, this way you would be able to control the camera but you won't see anything.

the problem is that i am only at home today and tomorrow. So i would need to stop working on another project to rip the LV for you.

Hey, i did not touch the modules, but you are right there are 2 more in my release than in Samsungs actual version, the reason is that Samsung had this libs in the older release and i seem to have not removed them like they did :D I decompiled and overwrote my local folder, so i did not remove the now removed files ;) Thats the reason :D

Best Regards
[Android Software Development] ROSTOVisualFX:
1. Well you have voiced the issue price? (How much will it cost priority of your time to solution the LiveView?)

2. You will not be very upset if my programmer will modify the program without You and we publish it?

(We, of course, mention that you were the first developer, but we have brought this program to the end)

If You refuse to do it for the money, then we reserve the right to do it ourselves and distribute the program in its sole discretion.
[Android Software Development] Bin4ry:
Hey,

lets do it this way. I will do the mod tomorow (german time) ;)

If you are happy with it you will just donate an amount that you think is ok for the work, i don't want to sell anything here! :)

To your second point: You can do as you like with the mod, in copyright terms it is still samsungs software not mine, but of course it would be nice if you mention me while doing it :)

Best Regards
[Android Software Development] ROSTOVisualFX:
Where to donate? In your profile I saw PayPal, but they are very large percentage You will be charged upon receipt. How You can be contacted outside of the forum?

Can I write E-mail to Your PayPal address and discuss the optimal ways to donate?

Support for Android Nougat?

Hi [MENTION=1346722]Bin4ry[/MENTION],

Thank you so much for the work you've put on this. It's awesome!

I've been using the 2k version of the app for the past few weeks without a problem, but yesterday I upgraded my Nexus 5x to Android Nougat and unfortunately the app stopped working (I'm guessing related to the upgrade since I've changed nothing else on the phone).

The app crashes as soon as it connects via bluetooth to the camera (as soon as I hear the beep, it dies). When I relaunch the app, I no longer hear the beep, so I'm not even sure if it's making a BT connection again. I try then switching to live view or the Gear 360 tab (after making sure that I'm connected to the cam's wifi), but it loops for ever on the "Loading" screen.

Things I've tried so far to solve the problem without success:

- Force kill both Samsung's Accessory Service and the app and re-launching, but I keep getting the same problem.

- Unpairing the camera, uninstalling the app, reinstalling and re-pairing

Any help will be very, very welcome! And thanks again for your great work on this :D
[Android Software Development] :
App just hangs with 'Loading,,,' message

Hi Bin4ry,

App installed ok and bluretooth paired ok. I can also manually connect to the gear 360's wifi but when I click on the 360 tab in the android app I get a 'Loading message' which just sits there

I started the logcat just before I pressed the 360 tab in the android app.

Would you mind taking a quick peek for me please

Thank you

Phone is Nexus 5 running marshmallow. Unrooted
[Android Software Development] ROSTOVisualFX:
Please note that Gear360 is connected via Wi-Fi mode only GoogleStreetView, but Gear360Manger is only connected to the Wi-Fi Direct mode.

And look for the active Wi-Fi Direct need another menu!
[Android Software Development] Bec07:
It goes in and out of the WiFi menu, even after connecting no Stream is displayed, the App hangs, goes back in the WiFi menu and so forth until the App not responsive close app menu error appears.

I tried all the steps from the first post.

It works perfectly on android 10, it doesn't even open the Wifi menu.
[Android Software Development] dincu:
I have problems when trying to pair my Oneplus Nord 2T with the camera.

It had worked at the beginning but then I uninstalled it and now I am not able to pair the phone and the camera again.

Is there any cache that I can clear or something?
[Android Software Development] andyspiri:
for those who have problems connecting to the camera, I found the solution. If you receive try again error, you must delete the installed version of samsung accessories service and install version 3.1.82.80406. it worked perfectly that way for me, even if I couldn't connect before with latest version. sometimes it gives me "installing samsung accesory service" message. and i need to unninstall samsung 3.1.82.80406 . and reinstall it while gear360 tries to install it in background
[Android Software Development] Bec07:
For me with the nothing Phone it's the same. It jumps back and forth to the WiFi menu then crashes...
[Android Software Development] Peteba:
Thanks for this. I was having just this problem on my Pixel 7 Including the reinstall the accessory service during the gear360 app starting :-)
[Android Software Development] buhsnarf:
So, I've tried doing this with my Pixel 7a and thought I'd share my experience:

Installed the APK fine. The latest version of Samsung Accessories service wouldn't connect so I went for the 3.1.82.80406 one mentioned above which worked. However, the downside of that is that you have to keep uninstalling / re-installing it at every launch of the app as it doesn't recognise that version initially and tries to install Accessory service.

Cannot use the Live view or Gallery. It pops up the Wifi screen and then you connect to the camera and then go back to the app and it sits loading and then pops up the Wifi screen showing already connected and goes round and round like that.

However - one thing I did notice is that in the notification shade when you're connected to the camera you get a start / stop recording button which I guess is better than nothing!

It's so frustrating how much Samsung bodged up this device. There's really no reason why they appear to have backdoor blocked this hardware - sure it's not the best camera in the world but it's a handy little thing that can take fairly decent 360 videos and photos.
[Android Software Development] buhsnarf:
Out of curiosity as thinking of picking up a cheap iPod touch to use the app on that. Does anyone know what generation of touch or version of iOS that supports Gear 360 software. As I'll only be using it for the Gear I'd like to spend as little as possible so it'll be an old old one!
[Android Software Development] NaNaReacYT:
Someone can help me to update the camera? I bought one with the firts firmware. Btw in my Oneplus dosent work the mod... A little sad, at least in my samsung galaxy s5e yes
[Android Software Development] WAVESKLR:
I understand that Android13 does not work for anyone? Even on a modified version from the cap? Gallery, camera content over wifi? It remains only to use and copy from a USB flash drive to a PC as a separate device. It’s a pity that Samsung is abandoning its products - I have a USB camera from TV, and to PC doesn’t have a driver, a $ 100 camera for TV, now also Gear360, sad
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
It works fine on Android 13 and 14 during testing. In fact, it works on all of my test devices.
[Android Software Development] WAVESKLR:
Gallery and Camera? I'm always loading :(
[Android Software Development] dsMultiChat:
What are your test devices?

I have a Samsung S23 Ultra running Android 13 and One UI 5.1 with the July 2023 security update. I have version 1.5.00.1-2 of Gear 360 app installed. The Gear 360 has R210GLU0AQF2 Firmware. Unlike others the app wouldn't run with version 3.1.8xxx of the Accessory Service but it did run with the 3.1.9xxx versions. I can connect the device and view all the settings.

I CAN NOT view the gallery, live stream, or Camera. They all take me to the WiFi screen. It connects (without internet) I go back to the app, and it says loading. After time it says "can not connect manually" and goes back to the WIFI screen. I connect manually again and back to the app as suggested in the OG post. The app says loading and again says "can not connect manually"
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Pixel 6 Pro (Android 14, previously 13), OnePlus 7T Pro (Android 12, previously 11), Pixel 2 XL (Android 11), it even works on my crippled Nexus 5X with half the cores disabled. Following the steps I've put in the first post has never let me down.
[Android Software Development] dsMultiChat:
Does anyone have this running on a Samsung S23?
[Android Software Development] buhsnarf:
I've tried this on a Samsung A5, A32, Pixel 5, Pixel 7a, Nokia 8, Nokia 7.1 and none of these work - always giving the same "loading" screen after connecting to the 360's Wifi. I can take photos using the notification shade and change settings in the menus and it shows me all the details such as storage space etc. but I've *not once* been able to get live view or gallery (not that fussed on that as can use USB) to work.

I'm fairly sure I've followed all the steps in the first post exactly.

I'm clearly doing something wrong!

Thank you for all your hard work but is there a chance that you can do a video of it working so that we can see if we're doing something wrong?
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Pixel 6 Pro, running the latest 14 Beta build.

Of note: I initially went to disable the entire SIM to disable mobile data, before correcting and just disabling data. This is all that's required, you can keep the SIM enabled if data is disabled.

Since this was a fresh install (wiped the phone 2 days ago), I also now needed to do the Samsung Accessory Service shuffle that others have described:

- Install the latest Samsung Accessory Service build from Google Play

- Open Gear 360 Manager

- With the app still running, uninstall Accessory Service and install this version.

- Complete setup, connecting to the device. You can now update Accessory Service again (old version is only required during setup)

If Samsung don't fix this bug (Accessory Service is still maintained), I may add a patch to disable the "installing" screen in the future if required.
[Android Software Development] buhsnarf:
Thank you for sharing the video.

So I've done everything as the above and still no joy - just a loading spinning around. It is clearly connected to the camera as I get the notification shade options for taking photos and can amend all the settings in the app.

The only difference I could find is that my 360's access point comes up as "Gear 360(6E7F)" in Wifi settings as opposed to AP Gear 360 like yours does?

Are you using a first gen Samsung 360?

I guess it seems like I'll never get live view working as maybe it's just my 360 camera!!! Mine is a Gen 2 with the RB2 firmware.

Do we know if there is a version of the accessory service that doesn't require a shuffle round as that's so frustrating when trying to open the app now that you need to uninstall / re-install each time. If we went back to an older version of the 360 mod would that stop this issue?
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Yes, I have a 2016 camera, but that's never caused issues in the past - the gallery/live view comms are the same as far as I know. My camera is running the last firmware available for it.

I'm pretty sure it contacts a server for Accessory Service, since it wouldn't have knowledge of an update from this year given it's such an old version.

As for the notification, that's done over Bluetooth, so it's bound to work. Camera/gallery is WiFi.
[Android Software Development] buhsnarf:
Thank you again for the support on this!

So the accessories service issue is a server side issue from Samsung?

Think I'll just have to go back to pressing the button physically!
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
No, the newest version has the bug - but the app insists you update to it on launch, which breaks setup. Once you do the shuffle to get through setup, it's fine to update as it will work with the new version at that point.
[Android Software Development] buhsnarf:
Ah, okay, I mis understood then, I thought you had to keep uninstalling and reinstalling the old version at each launch!

Will give it a go this evening. I'm on hols next week and wanted to take the 360 - although not sure the weather will make it much use!
[Android Software Development] TomiArg:
I have a zFold4 and the application keeps loading when I want to open the camera or the gallery. I have the first generation of gear 360
[Android Software Development] BigKahunaFSU:
I give up. I can't figure this out.
