These are all known issues and at present there isn't a fix. Bin4ry is waiting for Samsung to update the app to continue developing. For video stitching, I use Action Director. I use the app for photo stitching.

Note:

- Photo stitching on phone gives you a 300 dpi 360. and bigger file.

- Photo stitching in Action Director gives you a 72 dpi 360 and smaller file.
[Android Software Development] mecausmal:
same problem, all ok but i cant see anything in live , still in black screen.

I've LG G2 5.0.2
[Android Software Development] michbau:
One plus 2 works perfectly.

I struggleed a bit to turn on live preview but once I turned off cellular data everything went easy and smooth.

Thanks for this!
[Android Software Development] Klausemann:
I also use the NOTE IV. I suppose the 29%-issue appears when the device runs out of memory. Have you tried the 2k-version? With that one it converts 100% but then crashes. But you can find the stitched videos in the temp folder. At least on my device it worked.

But I couldn't make the software work without messing up my bluetooth settings. Have you experienced crashes when trying to losd the bt-settings-screen?
[Android Software Development] hugopugo:
Thank you so much, the 4k version works great on my z3+/z4... The only thing is that I cant update the software :( it just stays in an endless loop of loading, will try the 2k version. Is there any difference between the 2k and 4k version on terms of video quality when rendered? Also im experiencing lag on my live view with the 4k, anyone have this too? Again I will try the 2k version to see if its better

Thx so much for this!

EDIT: yep cant update it, when I download the firmware I change my WiFi to the gear360 but then a message shows up: "failed to copy the firmware update to the gear 360. Tap OK to try again"

Anyone having this problem and know a workaround to fix it?

I'm getting this stackstrace trying to load liveview (after a while of loading it turns black) or downloading/stitching images

[Android Software Development] Klausemann:
I tested the Mod today on my Galaxy Note 2 with CyanogenMod 12. Unfortunately it crashes at the start.

Logcat: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/7b1f366d6b5951a1863316050ae2a5c1

I also figured out something interesting regarding the crashes of the bluetooth-setting on Note IV. It seems to be not related to the MOD. I haven't installed the mod on my device and just connected to the Gear 360 via WIFI. Once I turn on the camera and set it to Gear Manager mode, so that it is visible via bluetooth, my phone crashes when scanning for bluetooth devices. Once the camera is turned off, the bluetooth setting do not crash.

Here is the logcat for that: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5594fc0550e070951a29c9485e5c923f
[Android Software Development] Bin4ry:
Hm, that is strange, i was able to update. Sorry no idea :(

Liveview crashes due to the stichting jni not compatible with your hardware, i have no way to change that sorry :/ I am hoping for samsung to update the original app.

Yeah, please change the ro.build.manufacturer=samsung to something like ro.build.manufacturer=CMsamsung. (It is inside the build.prop)

The samsung app reads this value and assumes that you have all samsung special functions if the value equals "samsung", but since you use CM you miss some of these functions ;)

Best Regards
[Android Software Development] Klausemann:
Did that and it worked. Thanks!

Now I can take pictures and videos and also download vids and pix.

Just faced two issues:

- I can't watch downloaded videos. Black screen only. Is Samsung Gallery or some weird codec required?

- Live View only works in single lens mode. Both when taking pics and recording videos it ahows a black screen when both lenses are active. Can this be a memory issue?

I can post a logcat later if required.

Thanks a lot and Servus from Vienna
[Android Software Development] jowett69:
will not install on s6+ edge..4k version
[Android Software Development] Bin4ry:
I think memory issue too. No need for the logcat thanks, i sadly cannot fix the issues yet. Let's wait for a new version from samsung, i hope it will fix some of the memory and other issues aswell.

It should, what is the error?
[Android Software Development] Klausemann:
OK, thanks.

On my Note IV with Stock ROM the software works mostly fine and live view works well. It's just that the bluetooth settings crash when I try to open them. As long as the mod is installed I can't make any bluetooth settings, which is annoying. Can I ask you to have a look at this logcat, maybe you find reason and give me a hint for a workaround. I would really appreciate it. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/bf7c60ca11641bcb7b4a156aa19091de

Hi

On Oppo Find X2 Pro with Android 10, I have only window with information about installing Samsung accessory service :(
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Install it manually like it says in the FAQ.
[Android Software Development] BaGRoS:
Thank you. Now program starting good, I can see camera and setting. But any try connecting to WiFi direct all ap is unsuccessful.

On WiFi list is 7 on the end camera name, when I disconnected camera last number is 6. Then I don't know which password is.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Getting the password is also covered in the FAQ.
[Android Software Development] BaGRoS:
I found password when I try connect for iOS, but still without success. I try also WiFi direct, send invitation, come back to software, software send me to WiFi direct config, and again, and again
[Android Software Development] xhonzi:
I had a 2016 over the weekend that connected fine- but I can't get a new-to-me 2017 camera to connect at all now on the same phone. I get the "connect manually" message over and over again even though I'm successfully connected to wifi and bluetooth.

The WiFi hotspot is named differently than the camera- The camera is 181B and the hotspot is 181C- not sure if that's the problem.

(Huawei Mate SE running Android 8.0.0 with Mobile Data turned off)

Success with the 2016 was out camping where there was no other WiFi or Mobile Data.

When trying to connect to WiFi, the camera seems to be stuck- the Menu/Bluetooth button doesn't do anything nor does the record button. I can turn it off and on again so that the menu button works.

I can connect the camera as a Street View 360 camera. Although it doesn't seem to work at all.

In my WiFi settings, there is an option called Wi-Fi+, which is turned off. It's supposed to manage the WiFi networks to find the one with the best internet access. I assume this would cause real havoc with the connection to the camera.

If I try WiFi direct, my phone doesn't show the camera as an available connection.

UPDATE: Setting it to use WiFi direct, and only attempting to connect it to WiFi direct right after it connected to Bluetooth worked. Not sure how hard to repeat this will be.
[Android Software Development] Adam3Sixty:
Hey buddy, it's been a while.

So I've been testing my 2016 model camera with my OnePlus 7t (not pro) running the newest firmware on Android 10.

I read ur post about 1.4.00.9 not working correctly and the built in gallery being the main thing. I'm using 1.4.00.4 and I seem to be having the gallery crash every time I enter it and no images show up in the "on phone" section.

I have managed to connect to the WiFi absolutely fine, I can do live view, take photos and videos via the app, and if I go in using the control camera section and then click to go into gallery it works so I can download images and videos to my device. Images are stitched and able to be shared to Facebook, videos are not stitched for use in other apps.

I had everything working fine on my OnePlus 5t running Android 8, but when I got a free upgrade to the 7t (not pro) I jumped at the chance. I had planned to keep my 5t as a spare device but now kinda need the money from trading it in.

Any thoughts or advice?
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
It's fine on my 7T pro, you got a log of the crash by any chance?
[Android Software Development] Adam3Sixty:
I'm not sure how I would get the log, I'm no longer rooted so not sure how to grab it.

If u let me know how I could grab a log I will do it straight away.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
You can either use ADB with the

adb logcat -s AndroidRuntime

command, or use one of the Logcat apps on the Play Store that will work without root if you grant them a permission using ADB (which is only required once, it'll continue working afterwards)
[Android Software Development] Adam3Sixty:
Is this helpful?

I'm so used to being rooted that having a bone stock phone again is weird, lol.

https://www.sendspace.com/file/ie5u1y

I did a quick screen record too:

[youtube]I_sPsmftrJU[/youtube]
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Yes that contains the crash. I'll sort it when I get the time.
[Android Software Development] Adam3Sixty:
That's amazing!! Thank u so much!!

I'm just glad I can still use the app with my new phone.
[Android Software Development] xhonzi:
I think I have this down to almost a science. I can reliably connect with just a little fiddling now.

For a previously connected camera

1. Put phone in airplane mode- no wifi or bluetooth, but especially no mobile data

2. Turn camera on

3. Start 360 app, and connect to camera, which should turn on bluetooth and find the camera. Make sure the MOD setting "automatically open WiFi settings" is off and "WiFi Direct (Beta is buggy)" is on.

4. Open the WiFi settings- make sure wifi is off, but be ready to click on WiFi direct.

5. Back in the app- click to open live view.

6. Switch back to the WiFi settings- it should be on now and probably already connecting to your home network. Click WiFi Direct, and try to connect to the Gear 360 Camera. (not sure if this remembers the password previously entered under WiFi settings, or if it doesn't require one)

7. If you're lucky- it's connected and you can return to the app and see live view and browse your pictures, etc.

Troubleshooting steps:

1. Forget your home network- so that no network automatically connects when you turn on WiFi. Or turn off your router for a moment.

2. Make sure mobile data is definitely disabled.

3. Pray?

Is working in 5t... How to work with 6t?
[Android Software Development] Adam3Sixty:
No idea, I haven't got a 6t.
[Android Software Development] imjorden:
No connection, Tap OK to try again
[Android Software Development] Adam3Sixty:
I have a feeling this is ur problem.

Grab the 1.4.00.4 version of the app and test it again. As [MENTION=3563640]Quinny899[/MENTION] said, the version u have is buggy and doesn't work well, it doesn't work on my 7t and it didn't work on my 5t, so best to stick with the lower version :)

Hopefully that will help.
[Android Software Development] imjorden:
Ehh doesn't work tried the version you recommended. Connected to the Gear 360, Paired and it still say No connections Tap OK to try again . ;/
[Android Software Development] Adam3Sixty:
Hhmmm, ok. Little bit stumped, let me give u the exact steps I use and see if it's right with u.

Original set up, get the WiFi code from the "Google Street View" section on the camera itself. Find the WiFi network on ur device, enter WiFi password and let it save.

How I connect to camera.

Phone normal, not in aeroplane mode.

Turn on camera.

Open Gear 360 app, this will automatically turn Bluetooth on.

Wait for the camera to be found.

Press live view, app will change to WiFi page, wait for camera to show up, select camera WiFi.

Then use app switcher to go back to 360 app, not the back button.

Wait for it to connect and then it's working.

This is probably what ur doing, and anything else is a bit out of my depth as I'm not a dev, I'm just a power user who tries to help if I can :)

Gear 360 (2017) - Stuck on 'Loading' and WiFi connection

[IMG="Gear 360 Issue"]https://ibb.co/nP8KDZf[/IMG]Someone please help

I have installed the Samsung accessories service from play store and the manager from XDA developer on my Xiaomi note 9 sunning on latest Android

Everything connected well but when I click the 'camera' option it says 'loading ' for a while and then opens the WiFi setting screen on its own . After I have connected to the hotspot with the 360 I press the back button and then touch the 'camera' option again and then it says 'loading' and then after a while it takes me to WiFi settings again which shows connected already . It does the same thing over and over again

The live feed is not connecting

Please help
[Android Software Development] Adam3Sixty:
DON'T press the back button.

Use app switcher to go back to the 360 app.

That part of the instructions is in the original post.

Transform Gear 360 in Webcam 4k

Hello Quinny899 Congratulations, you did an incredible job, now I wanted to launch a challenge, could you turn the Gear 360 into a PC webcam? due to the pandemic, webcams ran out on the market and became expensive, companies like canon and gopro created software to convert their cameras into webcams, but unfortunately sansung seems to have abandoned this project, currently i'm using a hack to take the screen off the Streaming Active Director and placing it in OBS and then installing a virtual camera plugin in the obs, but this is a little complex, I just wanted to connect the usb and recognize the webcam, I believe that a simple hack on the drive that appears when opening the live stream Active Director's "VR360 USB Device" would be enough to turn the Gear into a 4k webcam does anyone understand this magic?
[Android Software Development] Tamhvm:
Same here... I got a Gear 360 2017 and I tried using this with both a Redmi Note 7 and a Galaxy Tab A with S Pen (SM-P580), and for some reason the swap from BT to WiFi (not WiFi Direct) doesn't work at all to download the files from the camera. I made sure to Task switch back to the application (instead of pressing back).

Are there any steps that we can do to debug this?

LG V60?

Has anyone tested this with an LG V60 ThinQ phone? Anyone have access to one to test it? Debating between buying this or a Note 20 to maintain the Gear 360 support. Since the app won't be updated anymore by Samsung I see nothing wrong with using this version. However, last time I tried it on a Motorola phone it didn't work for me so don't have much confidence in it.
[Android Software Development] Adam3Sixty:
It is very unknown about compatibility on any device without testing. I've rarely had any problems running the app on my OnePlus devices (2, 5t & 7t) and the problem I have encountered [MENTION=3563640]Quinny899[/MENTION] has found the issue, said it was easy to fix and would look into it.

If u want 100% compatibility, go for the Samsung device, regardless of official app support, it's the most likely to work and continue working :)

I have try to update via this app but can not update

i also try to download from https://www.samsungimaging.com but seem like website already gone

so anyone have firmware R210GLU0ARB2 or have link to download please let me know
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
http://secaz-wearable-dn.samsungdm.com/firmcontainer/customer/data/firmware/fw/R210GLU0ARB2_180201_1739_REV00_user.bin

Note: This is the 2017 model firmware.

Not sure what you can do with it after that though, the app might need further modding to point at a custom endpoint to serve updates as the main server is dead. I found this server by poking at the samsungimaging.com domain on web.archive.org, thankfully someone had archived the update XML for the NX400 (one of Samsung's linux cameras), and the link to the firmware from that which was a redirect to this (note: NOT the Gear 360 fw), replaced the filename with the bin name from another XDA thread and bingo. Might be worth mirroring that file and the equivalent 2016 model firmware just in case that endpoint goes down too though.
[Android Software Development] Adam3Sixty:
Kinda off topic, but it is such a shame Facebook seem to have dropped support for 360 images.

The main reason I kept my Gear 360 was for uploading the 360 images to Facebook from holidays and things, it was a kinda special thing that I thought was great.

Looking on their website they have a small list of cameras they support, of which they "own" some or they are extremely expensive professional camera rigs.

This kinda marks the end the use of my Gear 360, unless something changes and I can upload to Facebook again.

Massive thanx to @Quinny899 for all the work u put into this mod over the years. I stupidly bought the camera before I realised it could only be used with Samsung phones, lol. U were my life saver when it came to actually using the camera!!
[Android Software Development] bankwing:
Thanks Quinny899 I just need to update firmware to get the Google Street View mode
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
I've managed to recover the following firmwares from the Samsung site just in case it goes down:

./2016:
C200GLU0APE4_160519_1848_REV00_user.bin
C200GLU0AQK1_171121_1257_REV00_user.bin
./2017:
R210GLU0ARB2_180201_1739_REV00_user.bin

With this and the archive of the NX300 XML, I should be able to get a mirror going and update the modified app to point to the mirror instead. This would in theory allow anyone to update to C200GLU0AQK1 on the 2016 model and R210GLU0ARB2 on the 2017 model. There is (according to this blog) a R210GLU0AQK1 firmware for the 2017 model too, but I have been unable to find the full filename so am unable to download it from the Samsung site. If you have that firmware on your camera, please check /sdcard/Android/data/com.samsung.android.gear360manager/cache to see if the update file is there, and either upload it and send it to me or send the full filename and I'll be able to grab it from the site. Otherwise, the slightly older ARB2 build will have to do for the 2017 model.
[Android Software Development] bankwing:
Try to update firmware file from your link, work like a charm .

Thanks again
