Nexus 6p

Everything is ok till i want to make a Photo/video.

It hangs in "Loading"
[Android Software Development] harkar:
I've encountered this and noticed that it had to do with WiFi not being connected to the camera.

When you get the Loading, check if you are connected to the camera's WiFi, and if not, connect to it.

At least, that's my theory on the subject.
[Android Software Development] zmei116:
Is any idea now?
[Android Software Development] Bin4ry:
It maybe possible, i am still looking for some specific commands for the camera and will tell you shortly.

Scratch my comment. I reinstalled the stock app and it only detects the same 14gb of memory instead of the full 64gb.

Interestingly when i render a video with the stock samsung app it goes very fast from 0 to 29% then it goes slowly. Its as if the first 29% is just copying the file, then it starts stitching and so gies slower. Thusbmaybe the crash is happening at the begining of the stitching process

Hi i.ve tested the new version 24.6.2016 with my note 5 unrooted stock phone

Live view works but like others have mentioned when saving it crashes at 29% of the way through.

I wonder if there might be a memory issue as my phone has 64gb total but it only sees 14.82gb total. It reports 3gb available but i have 25gb free
[Android Software Development] hachiroku:
thanks...I got mixed up with versions as OP and 1.0.13 recommended see 1.0.21 as the newest version.

went ahead and installed your modified 1.0.00-2 version which is actually newer but with a different version number. that is where the confusion came from as well.

with this version , it states my firmware is the latest which is good. haven't been able to connect to live view though with SOFT_AP or WIFI_DIRECT. will read through posts and see if others have been able to solve that. I'm currently on a Nexus 6P on PureNexus Nougat. Thanks again for providing this modified app to the community.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Regardless of your phone, it should work with the Street View app when the camera is in Street View mode. If that's all you want from the camera, you don't even need the manager app
[Android Software Development] itakumre:
Well, but in the new app option to automatic correct perspective angle still doesn't work. This one thing is keeping me from using the new version.
[Android Software Development] erwinsie:
What is the advantages of using force 2k version of this apk? Faster transfer time from camera to phone maybe?

I just not sure which one I have to get.
[Android Software Development] joaojhb:
Thanks Quinny!

But isn't the manager app the responsible for join the 2 images to create the 360º photo? Or can I do it from my computer?
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
You can do it on your computer, Samsung provide access to a Cyberlink program that does it

Thanks Quinny, though i own a 360 (2017) and do not seem to have a Street View mode. Am i mistaking or is there an other solution?

Cheers!
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
It was removed in the 2017 model because it's too low resolution for Street View. Only the 2016 camera (which ironically has a better resolution photo quality) can do Street View

confirmed working with huawei mate 8 NXT-L09 latest android 7.0 - (fyi i used the one modded for android 7).

after few photos seems to hang but just forced close and reopen - fine again.

all features seems to work fine too.
[Android Software Development] hachiroku:
after reading many many threads in regards to WIFI Direct and Nexus 6P, they all seemed to point that Android 7.1.1 and the Nexus 6P had major issues with WIFI Direct. They all stated that 7.1.2 fixed this issue. Today I spent the better half of my day updating my 6P to the latest Pure Nexus 7.1.2_r8, 05/09/17. Safe to report back WIFI Direct works flawlessly.

Thanks again for the app!

I recently bought the 2017 version from Koreay (ebay) and i am from India. It seems the default app has restrictions for live broadcast to Facebook. The social network settings of Facebook remains disabled. Can that restriction be removed ?

Please get a logcat of it crashing, I cannot fix it based on someone just saying it crashes

I'll take a look when I get the time

---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------

Yes. My assumption is that they wanted to make the 2016 model's app support every phone too (hence the existence of the soft ap mode, it's not used on any of the official devices), but couldn't get it stable enough
[Android Software Development] ViGilant_spb:
what's new in camera 2017 version?

current port version can update software on 2016 model?
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
The new camera has a better video resolution but worse photo resolution, and it can also livestream. The design is different, and it doesn't have a removable battery. It uses USB C rather than MicroUSB, and doesn't support street view.

The software works on both, I *think* the WiFi direct APK can update the firmware on the camera but I'm not sure
[Android Software Development] ViGilant_spb:
Didn't use my Gear 360 (2016) for about 3 month. Tried to connect it to the same phone that used to work perfectly, but no luck.. Since that time I changed only two things: installed SIM card and autoupdated Samsung Accessory service. I turned off mobile data, tried to restart the app, clean data, reboot phone and so on BUT it doesn't connect anymore.

App from the top first post 4k version, it shows my cam in the list, but can't connect, just spinning round for a loooong time. Now I tried to install an old Samsung Accessory service version but it didn't help too. Strange thing. Any ideas?

UPD. WiFi-direct version from page 66 works almost ok. But this clicking "cancel request" pisses me off.
[Android Software Development] ivano91big:
hi guys, i try with my zenfone 3, but when i try to connect with bluetooth, it can't connect with bluetooth.

My version of android it's nougat, i try with the link of nougat version, but the problem it's the same.

I think the problem it's samsung service, because it doesn't open when match the cam and subsequently the process of wait looping.

do you have an idea?

thanks

Hi ther, does copying and stitching video on your mobile phone works? On my Sony Xperia M5 I get stuck when I copy video files, or try to stitch, on 30 or 32%.

Thanks
[Android Software Development] africa89:
no it doesn't. my advice is to use the windows app for that
[Android Software Development] hachiroku:
transfer of video file to my Nexus 6P took 5-10x longer than video length. in regards to your transfer I'd look at device storage space or CPU speed. when I transfered it didn't stitch so a bit pointless unless you have a stitching app on your phone.
[Android Software Development] hachiroku:
are any of you having issues with tilt correction not working? I took a few pictures then transfered them to my phone and none of the 8 photos has had their tilt adjusted.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
It doesn't work on 1.0.0.0-2. I'm yet to have anyone confirm if it's also broken on the original app on a Samsung device or if it's an issue with the port.
[Android Software Development] imAdashB:
I've installed the one with N support. It finds the camera but it get's stuck on the "Connecting to Hear 360 (XXXXX)"

When I check my BT setting it does show that they're paired.

Any solutions?
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
You need to manually connect to the camera's WiFi
[Android Software Development] imAdashB:
Okay, dumb question, how do I do that?
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Open your quick settings and connect to the camera from there is how I always do it

You also must disable mobile data if it's enabled
[Android Software Development] imAdashB:
It's not showing up in quick settings. I'm using G6 and even checking WiFi direct it's still not showing.

Edit: Would it make a difference since this is the 2017 camera? It doesn't seem to be hosting a WiFi signal.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:

Hi

I am not happy with the performance of LG360 hence going to return this. I am planning to buy Samasung 360 gear. I want to use it with LG G5. Will this mod helps to get it working with LG G5. Thanks.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
In theory, yes. The live preview has proven to be quite unpredictable but it should work on a G5
[Android Software Development] smohanv:
Thanks. I have to read the spec and performance of Samsung 360 (2017) before decide buying. I have already placed Pre Order for Kodak PixPro 4KVR360 4K which seems to be highend camera but don't know until shipment starts.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
If you're​ taking photos, the 2016 camera is better than the 2017. For video, the 2017 one is marginally better

Obviously they're both consumer cameras not professional though so they're nothing by comparison
[Android Software Development] smohanv:
Thanks for the suggestion. I am thinking of placing order for 2016 for now and it doesn't suit then I can return.
[Android Software Development] georo:
Tried everything with my LG v20 and Gear 360 2017 and seems to not open anything. I connected successfully but when I try to open camera /gallery or life view I end up with infinite loading and nothing open. I bought the camera just because I some of you manage to work but not for me. So sadly I have to return the camera.

If anyone can look at this and do something to work I am willing to make a nice donation for the work you put in. Thanks for the great work here at xda.

[Android Software Development] Atlantis69:
Hi Quinny,

Thanks for all your work on this project (and Bin4ary also).

I've just become an owner of a Gear360 2017 and am having issues trying to get it working on my Note 4.

Hopefully you might be able to help out.

I've tried both versions of your latest APK, but can get neither to load for different reasons.

- In no way whatsoever can I get the phone to pair with the Gear 360. Clicking on the device in the Bluetooth manager does absolutely nothing.

- I can join the WiFi network of the Gear360 if I put it into iOS mode.

- I have no idea how to configure/connect via WiFi Direct.

- Both versions of your APK will crash immediately upon opening if I have the Samsung Accessory Service installed (had to find an APK since the Play store says that my device is not compatible)

- Both versions of your APK will endlessly attempt to install the Samsung Accessory Service if not installed on the phone already.

The app has never been able to load successfully, and I am confused on what to try next.

I would appreciate any guidance you can give, as I would really like to be able to use this on the Note 4.

Previously I was able to get Bin4ry's original APK working with my old Gear360 2016, but no longer own it.
[Android Software Development] georo:
I use both of this here https://xdaforums.com/android/software/mod-samsung-gear-360-manager-device-t3400383/page66

but seems nothing is happening I tried wifi direct but my phone not even see the camera. I hope someone will find some way to make-it work.

Is sad Samsung do not let others to use this camera they will have more sales than they have now for sure.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Can you get a logcat? You can only connect via Bluetooth from the app, so obviously the crash needs fixing

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

Your best bet is to use the soft ap apk and manually connect to the camera when it shows Loading...

The camera only shows in WiFi direct when it's showing Loading... as well

no live video, no access to stored videos

Got the 2017 Gear 360 connected to my Hauwaii Honor 8 using the app, tried it initially with the soft_ap. Will connect to the camera, can start recording and stop recording using the banner, however, all other functions seem to not work. Clicking on "Camera", "Gallery" or "Live Broadcast" only gets you a "Loading..." message and nothing more. Running android 7 on the Honor 8. Also tried it on an XperiaZ with the same results. Have now tried both apps and they both do the same (work from banner to start/stop recording, but actual app functions aside from settings don't work).

Looking forward to hopefully getting this thing up and running. Got it for my camera enthusiast father, he loves the camera, but hates having to plug it in to his computer.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
You need to manually connect to the camera when it shows Loading...

For soft ap, open your WiFi settings and connect to the camera, then return to the app

For WiFi direct, open WiFi direct (it's in WiFi > advanced in the settings) and connect to the camera. If it shows as "invited", tap it and cancel the request. If it still doesn't connect, repeat until it does then return to the app
[Android Software Development] wilvelas:

You make my day man. I all ready donate to you . I appreciate your work.

Now I have another question. I try to save a video but goes all the way to 100% and when I try to go back it said "Canceling" what you think is happening. Thanks again.

For some reason, despite the "mActionBarCustomView" being added as a customView to the toolbar, the getParent is NOT returning the custom toolbar on your device (and I guess everyone else's who crashed immediately too), but is on others.

You can also try this APK I just built, with a single try catch block in the place it crashes: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwduK1C1PXjxcWtJSVFWNTFKNVk/view?usp=sharing (the app SHOULD be able to handle that, it has checks for if that code failed elsewhere but doesn't gracefully handle the initial failure)
[Android Software Development] Atlantis69:
You are an absolute genius. The new APK installed and runs like it's supposed to now. Some options are a little flaky, but these have been listed elsewhere in the thread and are not deal breakers.

Thank you so much for the debug. One very happy 2017 owner.

I think this will solve the issue for a few others who were experiencing the same issues a few pages ago.

[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
That one isn't for use unless you get a crash on launch

It's also a soft ap apk, which will never work for live streaming as you have to disconnect from WiFi and then off mobile data for it to work - so you have no internet access. Only the WiFi direct APKs can possibly work for live streaming
[Android Software Development] Atlantis69:
That's odd... that APK connects as WiFi direct for me and I still have Internet access at the same time.

I know this because I can see the WiFi direct icon in the notification bar at the top of the screen when viewing live video from the 360 and it shows connected in the WiFi Direct menu under Wireless settings.

I'm not sure what to say now, as I'm confused.
[Android Software Development] rem3:
I can confirm the newest APK installed on my Note 4 and seems to run perfectly for the 2016 version as well. All the other versions I’ve tested would crash on launch or only occasionally connect to the Gear 360. For the Note 4 you need to manually install the newer accessory service.
[Android Software Development] s_hottab:
Thank you for your haard work!

Unfortunately, I can't open live view or gallery. My phone is Xiaomi Mi5 using global stable ROM using Android Nougat.

I've tried both of apps (soft ap, wi-fi direct).

Both of those apps do connect to my Gear 360 (2017) camera via bluetooth.

Then:

1. Wi-Fi direct APP

- First I connect my camera via App with bluetooth (SUCCESS)

- Press the "Camera" button in the app and get the "Loading..." sign (SUCCESS)

- Go to Wi-Fi direct and constantly cancel the request, but it never connects... (FAIL)

2. Soft AP APP

- Turn off and delete home Wi-Fi (SUCCESS)

- Turn off mobile data (SUCCESS)

- Connect my camera via App with bluetooth (SUCCESS)

- Press the "Camera" button in the app and get the "Loading..." sign (SUCCESS)

- Go to Wi-Fi settings and connnect to "Gear 360 (9318)" AP entering the Wi-Fi password from "Connect to iOS" mode (SUCCESS)

- Return to APP, but still see the "Loading..." sign (FAIL)

In both apps while I see the "Loading..." sign it looks like the camera "hangs" and doesn't react to any buttons on it.

Can anybody help with connecting the camera to my phone please?

Trouble Making Final Connection to 2017 from Pixel

I can connect to the camera, see battery status, turn on/off the LEDs etc. But when I try to open the camera to control it, or see the Gallery, it goes to loading and never finishes the connection. "Check your network connection and try again."

More strange; once when my phone went to sleep, when it woke up there was a notification for Gear 360 Timelapse with a record button. I hit the button and the camera started recording. So, phone and camera can talk, but the App doesn't let me access the preview, camera controls, or gallery.

I tried the soft app and wifi direct. When I opened my wifi direct settings it didn't see the Gear.

Also, even with the official app on my iPhone, the local photos never show up in the App. I see you were having that problem with your version of the app as well.
