Working on Xiaomi Redmi Note 7

Could never get my old Huawei GR5 to connect to the Gear 360.

New Redmi Note 7 (4/64) working perfectly -and it's FAST.

Liveview good, all settings available and stitching takes no time at all :)

They're virtually giving the Gear 360 away in NZ just now, tempted to buy a back-up because they're so cheap.

Same problem that I have.

Could someone give us some way around to fix it? What might be happening? Thanks

***UPDATE: I'll provide a log
[Android Software Development] RogerG:
Since my last post I have also aquired an akaso action cam, which has an app that uses the same method to connect the phone to the cam (creates it's own wifi network that you connect the phone to). This works on my phone - both live-view and browsing/copying saved pics/videos works well, so I have to report that I am pretty sure my issues (and those of others - at least those using a Redmi Note 5 Pro, same as me) are not related to android version, rom version, kernel, drivers, firmware or hardware - the issues seem to be directly with this mod, I am sorry to say.

Unfortunately - but as expected - the app of the actioncam ("akaso dv") does not work with the gear360 (and this mod does not work with the akaso either) - but maybe my experiences can narrow the cause of the issues down.

[MENTION=3563640]Quinny899[/MENTION] - If there's any way I can help, please let me know (I have provided logs in a previous post)

Which version of Samsung Gear 360 are you using with your Redmi Note 7?
[Android Software Development] Adam3Sixty:
Been using this without any major issues on my OnePlus 5t running the last official Oreo build or OxygenOS.

My Gear 360 is my favourite little toy to take on holiday or basically anywhere I think I'll get good photos, lol.

I'm looking at upgrading to a OnePlus 7 Pro, but that comes standard running Pie, so my question is, has anyone got this working properly yet? I've seen people talk about issues with the WiFi connection, or at least trying to get it connected in the first place.

I can live without pretty much anything else I have on this phone, but the 360 manager I can not do without!!

Thanx for any advice :)
[Android Software Development] paulaosp:
good work tks

Hello, my friends, paulão do brazil, I have a cell phone XIAOMI M1 and worked perfectly the gear all 360, more in my case only by Wifi Direct, everything perfect thank you and congratulations for the work .. bye bye
[Android Software Development] npuk:
is there anyone who can confirm the compatibility of the Samsung Gear 360 2016 with the Redmi Note 7 smartphone?
[Android Software Development] lokkiyo:
hi mate, how you did it?

I cannot use it on my Mi Mix 2s
[Android Software Development] ShadowVlican:
it works intermittently on my pixel 3xl (running the latest stock android pie)

the wifi-direct is indeed very buggy and is the main cause of the failures. the app only works as expected when it successfully connects with wifi-direct.

everytime you exit the app, you will have to repeat the above steps to get it working
[Android Software Development] Snorko92:
Hey, I'm using pocophone and I have tried everything that was written here,

I'm managed to log to its wifi, to log to its Bluetooth and to go to the gallery (on my phone)

but watching it live + watching the sd card gallery just sending me to connect the wifi again or stuck at connecting screen :\

any solution for it?
[Android Software Development] alx1000:
Keeps sending me to connect manually to wifi, although it's already connected.

Hi. Same thing here. It's sending me to connect the wifi over and over when I try to connect to video or gallery, thus making the app useless. Anybody knows a workaround? Thank you.
[Android Software Development] mtrivelin:
English, please.
[Android Software Development] alx1000:
Solved it!

Hi. I don't know if my post brakes this forum rules. If so, please do delete it!

The latest working version of Gear 360 app can be downloaded from here " apkmirror.com "

I installed on a Samsung J5 2016, and it works. Live view, gallery, everything. I wouldn't record through live view if you don't have a better phone because it has a big lag. That's because of the phone hardware limitations I suppose though. Instead you can record on the camera sd, and open then in the app.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
That won't work on any non-Samsung phone, that's the point of this port. Of course the original Samsung version will work better on a compatible Samsung phone.
[Android Software Development] alx1000:
Thank you. :good:
[Android Software Development] joelstitch:
I have a Oneplus 7 Pro and this method does not work for me. Save issue that everyone is having. I can connect to it but if I try to access the camera or the gallery it crashes.
[Android Software Development] pauloartur:
Work perfect in ZenFone 4 max zc554kl (x00id) :)

Thanks :)
[Android Software Development] wrecche:
Samsung, like Logitech, are arrogant miscreants, letting you purchase expensive things and then failing to support devices that CAN at least allow us to change camera settings. There is no reason I should not be able to view the gallery, affect settings, see a snapshot of what it's seeing, etc.. just because it can't apparently stream or whatever, doesn't mean I should be exempt from being able to install the apk, it should just warn me that certain features may not operate.

this is beyond infuriating... I wish this apk was updated so it didn't constantly tell me to log in via wifi, after it has connected and after bluetooth has connected.. chasing tails...
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
The original Samsung APK wouldn't just have features that wouldn't work on a non-Samsung phone, it straight up wouldn't work at all and would crash on launch. That's why this mod isn't just a few line changes, it's actually a fair amount of work to update and modify the APK. While they could make the app not require the Samsung frameworks themselves, they never advertised the Gear 360 as working with non-Samsung phones (other than iPhones) so likely never will.

The "chasing tails" you describe is simply it disconnecting and needing to reconnect. Remember that this is a mod - you're lucky it works at all, and it is very hacked together (especially the WiFi direct component), so you can't really complain.
[Android Software Development] Adam3Sixty:
Never had a problem with this mod :)

I bought a Gear 360 BEFORE I realised u had to have a Samsung phone to use it, so I am very very grateful!! This app/mod is the main reason I haven't updated my phone to Pie, or bought a new phone running Pie.

Thank u so much [MENTION=3563640]Quinny899[/MENTION] :)
[Android Software Development] joelstitch:
Can someone please post a good step by step instructions on how to do this? I keep looking trough the forum and find different instructions. Im mostly having issues with the camera wifi not showing up on my phone (I know how to get the camera to send the signal) and wifi direct stays on Invited.I can connect trough bluetooth fine.

I also just realized that the options to connect to a iOS, Street view, etc work fine but when I use the Connect to Android now it doesnt even shows on my phone or computer. Anybody has experience that?
[Android Software Development] Mierscheid:
Thanks a lot!

It works like a charm on:

- Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 (Pro) with RR-OS

Tipp: If you can't update the Firmware on the Camera, just turn off your Router while transferring the new Firmware to the Camera.

Edit: It's not possible to mod a newer Version of this App to get Geotagging on the Pictures and Videos because of the Samsung Framework?

Edit 2: I wrote an Article with Instructions in German:

tellerrandforschung.de/gear-360-mit-jedem-androiden/

HTH some german Users
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
No it should be possible to update it, I've just not got around to it yet.
[Android Software Development] pauloartur:
I update my 360 with ASUS ZenFone 4 max :)
[Android Software Development] hassanmahmood:
Of course it is a fellow Torontonian who has summarized options best.

Look, if you are using Android Pie - you don't have an option other than using Wi-Fi direct - so your first course of action is to enable the setting in the modded app such that it permits the 360 to use Wi-Fi Direct.

Once that is done and you've restarted the camera and app, you should be able to seamlessly connect to the camera by going to Wi-Fi and clicking the three dots that take you to Wi-Fi Direct.

On my Huawei Mate 20 Pro everything works just as smoothly as it used to on my Note 8.

Hey.. Interested in the app wifi+.

try this wifi DIRECT +

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netcompss_gh.wifidirect&hl=en_CA

I have great success to connect camera gear 360 2017 and my huawei p20 pro running andriod 9..

after you paired with bluetooth, and Mod setting choose force to use wifi direct but not to Automatically open setting. re-open app and once you choose live view or gallery, open the new wifi direct + program and choose send file then select gear 360 wifi to connect, you don't actually send any file , at the point go back to gear 360 app and the live view or camera gallery will connect.

Hope this help, as I had a very had time to get my phone connect to camera before I tried this solution.

Android 10 Issues

Anyone have experience with this working on android 10, specifically Pixel 3XL?

I upgraded my Pixel 3XL to Android 10 last week and the wi-fi direct will no longer connect with this app and my gear 360 (second gen). It invites, connects then disconnects quickly, the text changes so fast it's hard to see most times. Then it just stays as invited, creates the remembered group. I had this app and the samsung accessories app running for a multiple years on my on Pixel XL and Pixel 3XL with android 8 & 9. I've been familiar with the settings and steps to get it to connect, even as written up above, turning off mobile data as well. Now doing the same process, it just won't keep the connection in wi-fi direct, and stays as invited.

Is there anything useful I may provide in order to assist in debugging?

Would love to know anyone's experiences here with android 10.

Thanks and kudos to the devs for providing the app to start with.
[Android Software Development] joelstitch:
Ive tried the methods people posted multiple times but at the end I end up in the same situation. When I go to wifi direct it shows the Gear 360camera and says Invited but when I clock on it says "Do you want to cancel invitation to connect with Gear 360 {C45D)?"

I have the last modded app on my Huawei mate 20 pro. everything worked like a charm with my model 2016. Today I got my 2017 360 camera ....and now it does not work anymore. Bluetooth is connected wlan password I got from IOS mode . Camera connects in android mode but I can not have the live view feature anymore , and no gallery feature. Any Ideas ? always ask to wlan connect. I do this manually but that does not help. Same settings work for the 2016 camera Modell. What is different with this 2017 model. I uninstalled everything deleting cache etc. Reinstalled nothing helped

Here is a short video with the problem

https://youtu.be/yMms1bbkmFg

update: with wifi direct i had a couple of times connection to the cam.....but this is a boring try and go and nothing too get a good result for this cam. What I do not understand that with model 2016 I did not have any issues ...maybe someone here can explain the difference

Hiya, by doing this, I am one step closer. I can now see the live view, and get the vids and pics across from the camera to my phone. HOWEVER, when I try to share the pics / vids from the phone to FB etc. the app crashes? Any fixes for this?
[Android Software Development] Adam3Sixty:
Facebook will know it is a 360 photo, and will take the upload from any gallery app.

For videos, I have been using this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.collect.collect

Once the video is transferred from the camera to the phone, it's great to edit the videos and share them.
[Android Software Development] agtpirrone:
I can see many people still are using this mod. Without any complaints.

Myself, on the other side, have a Pixel 2 with Android 10 and have trouble with the app. WiFi connection is ok but when opening the app it just crashes when I press the "Connect 360 camera"..

It's only stock rom with Magisk. ??*♀️
[Android Software Development] Adam3Sixty:
This is a problem with newer versions of Android.

The only reason I haven't updated my phone from 8 is this one app!! Having a hear 360 and a non Samdung phone (or iPhone) means no way to use the camera.
[Android Software Development] agtpirrone:
Oh thanks for updating this for me. I used it on a Essential Phone with previous versions of Android (though I don't remember which one) and worked.

To be fair. Lots of apps have been left without support with Android 10. I think it's due to security related issued.

Wifi Direct with Bin4rys Gear 360 Manager

I have recently got a Huawei mate 20 pro and I installed this software to connect my old gear 360 camera to it. I have got it all working once but now when i have the WiFi Direct option on my phone cant find the camera on WiFi or WiFi Direct but when i turn the option off i can find the camera on WiFi but it still doesn't show up on WiFi Direct. I think it could be because i turned the camera on today and it started pairing again but i accidentally told it to stop. Has anyone got any solutions or ideas why????

[Android Software Development] wrecche:
Samsung should be shot for this... I got an alert trying this again today saying there is a firmware update, but I am in no way going to let it do this while I cannot guarantee it is safe. and there is no other way, except via their app. Ridiculous. I can use the hack/mod to remotely control the camera via wifi hotspot, and even though the web page to do so is flakey and broken (gallery doesn't show thumbnails) at least I can change the mode, take a photo, or start a video. I can download the images/video by using save as... but there are features I cannot just do, because they opted to support only their fancy phones.

I cannot for the life of me get this to work even slightly on a samsung galaxy tab A 10.5 or a motorola g6 play. Sure they're low end, but I see absolutely no reason to have the app completely refuse to run on them, when there are features not related to intensive work that I NEED to do.

gah, a pox on the lot of 'em...

I wish someone would just write something that was effective, or at least allowed the basics without holding your finger over there, crossing your toes, blinking 3 times, spinning around on the spot and counting to 10 without breathing...

I Can't connect to Redmi Note 7

Hi Quinny899!, I hope you can support me with the following:I can't connect to a redmi note 7. (Gear 360 2017)

I believe I followed all the steps mentioned here and in a several of posts after, but I cannot see anything (gallery or live view). I'm stuck when I'm trying to connect to WiFi by iOS (with the pass), then it connects well and finally when I change to connect to Android I have the issue. In this step, when I change to Android I loss the wifi connection and then the Gear360 wifi spot not appear again.

Also when I'm in the app, it open the wlan setup, but I don't know if I need to configure something.

I'll be very grateful if you can help me.

Have a nice day!

Can anyone help me out how to flash Gear360 2017? please?
[Android Software Development] Adam3Sixty:
Just wondering, having seen people with this working on Android 10. Has anyone tried with a OnePlus 7t Pro??

I'm using a OnePlus 5t and I'm still on Android 8 JUST for this app, I love my Gear 360 and I don't wanna lose the ability to connect it to my phone.

I'm slowly needing to upgrade now, and a 7t Pro is definitely my new phone or choice.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
I have a 7TP now, I'll see if it still works when I get home later.
[Android Software Development] gmmorrell:
This worked partially. Turned off cellular data and manually granted permissions. That allowed me to connect my Pixel 4XL (android 10) to my Gear 360 (2017).

Note: I have already retrieved my wifi password from the Gear 360 (by switching the Gear 360 to iOS connection mode, then switching back to Android mode)

So now I am connected via Android method (which is bluetooth?) and I can see the camera settings. When I try to get into gallery it asks me to connect directly thru wifi. Which I do and it shows connnected, no internet. I hit the back button to go back to the 360 app/gallery and it is stuck on the 'loading' screen. Eventually it reopens the 'connect to wifi screen' (which is still showing connected to 360).

So I still cannot connect and see the gallery. I have the exact same issue with my Moto G7 running Android 9.
[Android Software Development] 6tall:

[Android Software Development] Adam3Sixty:
Flash what??

No one answered because your question doesn't make sense.

If u want an answer u need to make sure u give all the information first, do u mean flash firmware to the camera? That would be called updating, not flashing. What device are u using? Do u have all the correct apps installed on your device?
[Android Software Development] gmmorrell:
Same here. You can see I am connected to Gear WiFi and cellular data is off in the screenshot. But it just sits on loading screen.

Gear app has a newer version. I wonder is this port will be updated.
