Connection Problem

Hello,

First of all, Quinny899 thank you for all your hard work.

And now here is my problem:

I've installed everything according to instruction, everything was working as it should.

Then I decided to update gear firmware to (C200GLU0AQC1), update has finished succesfuly.

Now i cant connect to camera, after i begin pairing process i'm getting pin number on camera and mobile phone, they match.

After selecting pair, nothing happens, counter counts down to 0, phone doesnt get connection.

I've wiped app data, samsung accesories data, uninstalled apps, tried diffrent versions (2k,4k) nothing works.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Cant find gear wifi, i'm not specialist but it looks like op3 cant save bt device.

Device Oneplus 3, Stock 7.1.1.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Honestly, no idea. I've never seen this before
[Android Software Development] Rjtelcon:
Hi. Have any of you tried, that the camera doesn't work, when the sd card is in the camera?
[Android Software Development] Worldwizzard:
I did it and still working, I am able to pair the camera but it won't go further than the connecting screen in gear 360 manager, any thought on how I could fix that?
[Android Software Development] Worldwizzard:
So I tried, all tricks and here's what happens, I have to manually pay my camera with my Lg G6, but it will never show "connected" it's only in grey.

In the Camera manager only see "connecting to Gear 360 (E5F8)" the Wifi remains on my home wifi and there's no other wifi that appears in the list that I can connect to.

I tried everything, uninstall re-install, clear app cache etc...

Any idea on what I can do to make the phone to connect to the camera?

Thanks
[Android Software Development] oohnoo:
Hello, first of all, thank you for making the app "almost" work on my android phone.

I have one question is using the WIFI_direct version, I can search the Gear 360 (2017) on the list of WIFI Direct, but it only shows "Invited" but never "Connected", is it anything I missed to do??
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Tap invited and cancel the connection. It will rescan. If it shows invited again, repeat. Eventually it will connect

There's nothing I can do really, sorry
[Android Software Development] Axser89:
So I did some research, I went to my friend who has Samsung S7. We tried to pair Gear 360 with it, and we succeeded, so I did not damage camera during update process. :D and its not camera fault.

We checked app version it seems there has been update and probably new firmware require updated app

Mine i 1.0.13

His 1.0.00-2 (downloaded yesturday from playstore)

He's running stock 7.0 nougat

Quinny899 is there any chance you can ulock this one?

I've been also wondering... if i fake my device name etc, will i be able to download official app and install it?

Maybe it can help? Any clue?
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
1.0.00-2 as the version for the manager?

No, even if you did manage to install the official APK it would crash
[Android Software Development] Axser89:
Yep, 1.0.00-2 is manager version.

I'd post some screens but unfortunetly i'm not allowed to do so, yet ;)
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
This is the current WiFi direct APK, the soft AP version is the same base. 1.0.13 is this version, which is the old (2016) app and doesn't work with the 2017 camera
[Android Software Development] Axser89:
I don't know if i understood your correctly, but... i've Gear 360 2016, i'm not trying to connect to 2017
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
The version doesn't matter then. I've used all of them with the 2016 camera

[MENTION=1346722]Bin4ry[/MENTION]

will there be a Port for Samsung Gear 360 (2017) releases?
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
I've already ported all the APKs.
[Android Software Development] africa89:
Hi, i am really interested on your work. I have an Op3t and it works with the 0.4 version but it crashes when i try to open the gallery, even the camera crashes.

do you have find this bug and do you have plans to update to the version 1.0.00-2?

really thanks to your work
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Yes, 1.0.00-2 is the current ported version. Can you post a logcat?
[Android Software Development] Jeffnew1986:
I am using samsung note 4 and playstore is saying my phone is not compatible to download the samsung 360 app. I see there are 2 links one for 2k and 1k force version. Which one should I download and should no download it directly from my phone browser or do I need to download from computer and transfer the file to my phone ? Thanks
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Use the WiFi direct APK from here
[Android Software Development] africa89:
Thanks for your answer, but i am a bit dump and at the moment i culdn't make a logcat, I ll try later

anyway, on the Op3t with the new version and the new samsung accessory services i cannot access to the gallery anymore, before i was able to download just some videos then it chrashed . But I can record videos throught the app on wifidirect, make photo etc etc but the download part is a pain in the a.

on the A5 2016 the download stops at the 30/40%.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
And you're using 1.0.00-2 on the 3T?
[Android Software Development] Jeffnew1986:
I tried installing rhe new apk and then uninstalled and tried the wifi direct one. Both times when I install and try to open on my note 4, it keeps loading saying "installing samsung accessory service.." but it just keeps loading non stop . What should I do? Thanks
[Android Software Development] africa89:
Yes on both

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

have you previously installed this app "samsung accessory service"?
[Android Software Development] Jeffnew1986:
No I havent. My note 4 isn't compatible so at first I downloaded the link your provided last year with 2k and 4k. I then uninstalled it and trit's installing your new link for wifi and apk and now I get the issue with trying to installs from my phone. I'm new to this can you let me know the steps which one exactly i should be downloading first ? Thank you
[Android Software Development] Axser89:
First, you need to download this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.accessory

Install it on your phone

It should be compatible with Note 4 because it shuld have Android 6.0.

After Samsung accessory is installed go to Settings - Applications - find Samsung Accessory Service, allow it to use memory.

Later when you have done all of this just install Quinnys apps

I guess Soft AP https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwduK1C1PXjxZXo1Y1ZlMko5MDQ/view?usp=sharing

Do as instructed to connect to the camera.

If you want to go live mode, it might not connect, it's very likely you won't get automatically connected to 360 AP, go to wifi settings and manually connect to AP_Gear 360(......), go back to app and you gonna get connection.

Hope it helps :)
[Android Software Development] Jeffnew1986:
I'M using android 6.0.1 on my note 4 but it says it is not compatible to this version of samsung accessory service so I can't install it in the Play store . Is there a way around this?

Thanks
[Android Software Development] sledgie:
Are you in US? Someone could post app here and you could install it.

I have Huawei Mate 9 and the above way works perfect! Make sure you install Samsung Service first. It takes a few min to install.

Most will not be able to connect via live over BT. So you must download the wifi apk. Install it. I have the 2017 version so do what the instructions say. Once it's connected to BT go to your wifi, wifi direct and on my Mate 9 Gear 360 showed up. I hit it once and presto! Live view.

Very thankful. Could you post a donation link? I'd love to give
[Android Software Development] africa89:
It is not an issue related to the android version, my A5 with nougat has the same problem though the playstore, just download the apk from apkmirror, here is the link

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/samsung-accessory-service/samsung-accessory-service-3-1-26_161116-release/samsung-accessory-service-3-1-26_161116-android-apk-download/
[Android Software Development] Jeffnew1986:
So I managed to download the samsung accessory service 161116 on my phone but when I try to install the soft apk samsung gear 360 it keeps saying "Unfortunately Samsung gear 360 has stopped" everytime I attempt to install on my phone. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks
[Android Software Development] Jeffnew1986:
As you can see on screen for the error message. I've tried so many different apk and the only one that works is the 4k Force apk for samsung gear 360 but my camera hasn't arrived yet so I can't test it with that apk app.
[Android Software Development] africa89:
I have just figure out that there is a new version of that software, https://apk-s.com/com.samsung.accessory/28221857-samsung-accessory-service/, i don't know if it is helpful but it doesn't change too much for me. anyway I am using the wifi-direct and it is working even if not perfectly.

a small OT, what kind of app are you using to share the videos? i cannot find a way to let others watch the 360 videos
[Android Software Development] Jeffnew1986:
I downloaded the new samsung accessory services but still get the error message for samsung gear 360 app soft or wifi direct they are both saying unfortunately it has stopped.
[Android Software Development] AndyCr15:
As for which app, do you mean on the device, as I'd like to know that. YouTube is one way, but a bit long winded if you have the actual footage on the phone.
[Android Software Development] africa89:
the flickr let you upload just the photos in the 360 from the pc, after the stitch, the video are not uploaded as 360 videos

[Android Software Development] MiroslavM011:
Hi, thank you all for your time and informations.

I am using WiFe direct apk on SonyuM5 and it's working, Live View, everything... But when I try to copy video form camera to mobile phone it get stuck on 30% or 32%

And I have enough memory on mobile phone.

Any clue...

Thanks
[Android Software Development] yozz3r:
Hi, first off, thanks a lot for removing the Samsung-imposed device lock! I've written to Samsung asking to remove the lock and support a wider device base. I know i will not get a satisfactory outcome but hey you never know...

Secondly, I have a Samsung Note 4 (SM-N910C) and used the first set of apks (013) with limited success - the app loaded, connected the the camera, then i had stuck issues when stitching the images together.

So, uninstall, reinstall and app now crashes immediately on startup.

New version installed 1.0.00-2 wifi direct, same issues.

Try to update Samsung Accessory Service,but mine is higher ver 3.1.41_170404

Read how to make a logcat.

You can find the logcat snoozin at >> http s://goo.gl/P5vEhY (you will have to delete the spaces between the s and http).

Any help would be appreciated / anything I can do to get this working with you guys.

Technical, but not a dev / software guy, so go slow :good:

Y.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Can you get a logcat please?

At the moment it's not known what causes this, I need some time to look into it at some point

Hello

I'm using oneplus 3 with android 6.0.1 with Wi-Fi direct, I managed it to work, only thing I have to forget the Wi-Fi direct group and wait for a new connection, otherwise it stuck at "invited"

When trying to download one video it goes until 100% than it hangs with high CPU. To get around this I need to manually copy the files and it seems I get a working video, dual lens and stitch.

but when I cancel the videos are gone from gear folder (that's why I need to copy it)

I can provide logcat if needed.
[Android Software Development] AndyCr15:
You manually copy from the 360 to your phone? How do you do that?

wifi connection password

Hi,

in the original post it says:

1.) When switching to LiveView and Device browsing sometimes the app shows only "loading..." without doing something!

--> Please check if you phone is connected to the Cameras Wifi (normally Called "AP_GEAR360..."). If you are still connected to you homenetwork etc. please just manually connect to the gear's wifi and switch back to the gear manager app

i have this problem. maybe i am missing something. but how do i obtain the wifi password of the gear 360 i need to manually connect it?

Thanks so much for porting this app and sorry for asking. i did not find the answer searching.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Switch the camera to Google Street View mode, and it will show the password (a string of numbers) on its screen
[Android Software Development] hachiroku:
hey guys...from what i've read it seems the Gear 360 is unable to be updated using the modified apk? i was able to pull the bin file for update off my phone and moved it over to the SD card. does anybody know if there is a way to trigger the update process on the camera. i don't recall, are we looking forward to a 10.0.21 mod as well? thanks for the hard work Quinny899.

here is the bin file of which i've uploaded to my google drive if anybody wants it.

Hey Quinny899,

thanks so much for your Apk, still I have trouble with it. Wonder if you can look into it.

I run your Apk (4K version) on a Sony Xperia 2 Tablet Wifi (AOSP) with 2741MB Ram and internal storage of 16GB.

There is also a 64GB SanDisk card installed.

Android is 7.1.1 3.10.84-g29b94da

rcstar6696@sonyaosp #1

The Gear360 App runs and my Bluetooth recognizes it (it shows a controler as icon besides it) and has paired with it.

Still when I try connect them in Gear 360 it ends up in a loop trying connecting and eventually says no connection.

Gear 360 says its version 1.0.13 & I did not hit update now ;)

Wifi does not show a Gear360Wifi even though I did see that briefly yesterday and could also see the pictures on the camera. I was not able to repeat that later though.

(EDIT: I used your StreetView comment above and get the Wifi & can connect the Wifi it to the tablet. Still the camera refuses to connect inside the Apk when I start the gear 360App.)

Switching to life view resulted in a black screen. That did not go away, even after a while.

I was able to abort the app though.

What I would really like to do is to use the life view controls when using the camera, as I need to control the exposure levels, which I believe is possible in life view.

Thanks so much if you could help,

Frannny
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
If you're getting a black screen, it's not compatible with your device. As you appear to be using a 2016 camera, you can use the no live view mod in the OP, which should allow you to control the exposure

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

10.0.21 is the old app, which I don't see the point in porting anymore when the new app is better anyway

What's the advantage of Wi-Fi Direct?

Hi [MENTION=3563640]Quinny899[/MENTION], Thanks so much for your effort!

I've been using the first APK you released for the beta and it worked pretty ok on my Nexus 5x.

I installed the Wi-Fi direct version just now and it also worked, but the manual connection via the Wi-Fi direct (with having to forget groups, and the try-and-fail-until-it-connects approach) is kind of a hassle.

I'm not that technical, so I wanted to ask you (or anyone in the community) if there are any specific advantages of the Wi-Fi direct connection as opposed to the Soft_AP. Just trying to figure out if it's worth the hassle or if I should just keep on using the older version which worked ok for me.

Thanks a lot for any info!
[Android Software Development] Frannny:
Q899

Thanks again. Would the OP version work despite the tablet beeing on Nougat? Tricky part seems how can I control exposure without seeing what I get?

I bought the 2016 camera as many people suggest that the 2017 has no real improvements to offer.

Any thoughts?
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
WiFi direct means it works without disconnecting from your home WiFi and disabling 3G. If you have a 2017 camera, it's the only way live streaming will work, and it theoretically allows camera updates to work

Use this version

Hi everyone!

I'm interesting in buy the Samsung 360 Gear (2016), however, I'm not sure if this mod will work fine in my smartphone...

So, I would like to know if it's possible to make pictures in 360º and insert in Google Street View using only the camera 360 Gear and the computer?

Thanks for any help or hint!

With your last version from yesterday (Bin4ry: Yesterday, 08:18 PM |#51). Sadly I really don't know how to take logs with an unrooted phone. But if you need any information just tell me. I'm relly happy that you'll port this!

Thanks a lot and have a nice weekend!
[Android Software Development] Bin4ry:
You would need to do it on adb. But no need now. If you like you can test the version from the first post.

Specify the settings for exposure bracketing for one frame

I need the same app play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teapps.thetahdr or play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teapps.thetashdr or play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.j.thetabk but for samsung Gear360

Could you make a program for the creation of a sequence of photos with different exposures to GEAR360? How much does it cost? If you can do this, write to me. I will tell you all the details of the job.

If you want, we can work through the site upwork

The best is to do this one:

_____________________

I need the application for Samsung S6 edge+ that would control the settings of Gear 360 camera

I will describe how should work this application for Android.

1. I open the application, connect to the Gear 360 camera and then manually specify ISO, WB and exposure.

2. Specify the settings for exposure bracketing for one frame.

3. Specify bracketing parameters for each frame in timelapse photography

4. Specify the interval for timelapse photography and the total number of frames for timelapse photography.

5. I click “Save” and all these parameters should be recorded in the Gear 360 camera.

What values for exposure bracketing should be in the list?

1. Without bracketing

2. -1 EV 0 +1 EV (there will be 3 pictures in bracketing)

3. -2 EV -1 EV 0 +1 EV +2 EV (5 pictures in bracketing)

4. -3 EV -2 EV -1 EV 0 +1 EV +2 EV +3 EV (7 pictures in bracketing)

where “0” is an exposure that we put in the first paragraph.

“EV” - exposure value

All photos must have full resolution, that the camera is capable for (30 MPix)

By clicking on the record button on the camera, the camera must perform the following sequence of actions:

1. Start countdown from five seconds, and then:

2. Сarry out a series of photographs with different exposures for a single frame.

3. Enable video recording and record 59 seconds of video

4. Perform timelapse photography with the indicated parameters.

5. If at the time of following these steps you press again the record button on the camera, then the sequence must be interrupted.

In addition, there must be a START/STOP button.

There must be the possibility to reset all the settings to default (i.e.set all the values that are now in the camera settings).

drive.google.com/file/d/0B5so87TUlLPtUk13TDhHaHlQRlU/view?usp=sharing - openSource code from Samsung to this camera.

With all respect, Andrew

Zenfone 2

I have a custom ROM and have also encountered an issue with getting the WiFi password automatically set by the application.

Is there any way to acquire the password? Changing ROMs on Zenfone 2 right now is not an option for me.

EDIT: I found a way to get the password for the WiFi without too much hassle after intercepting bluetooth data.

Basically, the password is the same one used in Google Street View mode, which is shown when that mode is selected.

More info available in the following video:

I tested lates apk version in a note 4 with android 6.0 stock rom and it worked fine. I only experienced a crash of the app when importing videos to the device. It loads 100% and then crashes but when you open the app again the file has been tranfered. You are doing a nice job, congratulations!

Wifi not connecting with Gear?

Hey, I'm a OnePlus 3 User, Just tried to install using instructions, the only problem is, it pairs with bluetooth, when I press on the camera to see (inside gear 360 app), it keeps on loading forever (no Camera interface on my phone showing), my device is not connecting to the Gear 360 Wifi direct, I can see Gear 360 wifi between the wifi network names, but it does not discover it in the Wifi Direct menu, I really need your help in this, would be very helpful If you find a solution for this.

Thanks for the App! :eek:
[Android Software Development] Bin4ry:
Just connect to the WiFi like to a normal WiFi.

Best Regards
[Android Software Development] theodory:
That is not the right solution and I found one,

The password of the Gear Wifi is the same with Google Street View Mode,

So first you need to be on the home wifi, press gear camera, while loading, go to settings and select the gear hotspot.

interface will start.

Testing Resolutions

I made some tests on my Samsung Tab S 8.4 (SM-T700) with the Gear360Manager-4kMod-20062016.apk app installed. Just for information : my device is not rooted, and I don't want to root it, so I don't know if I can send you a log.

Here are my conclusions :

1) Liveview is possible

2) Saving/Stiching is very fast the first 29 secondes, then it slows down dramatically.

2) Saving/Stiching is possible with a resolution of 1920x960, 2560x1280, 2560x1280(60fps) and 2880x1440.

3) The app crashes after 29 secondes with a resolution of 3840x1920.

As mentionned in my earlier post, my Medion X5004 did not display any liveview, neither with the Gear360Manager-2kMod-20062016.apk app, nor with the Gear360Manager-4kMod-20062016.apk app.

I hope that helps, and thank you for your work
