I can confirm the problems regarding update process of Gear 360 firmware. First time notification about the update available everything seemed fine and the 300 MB of data were downloaded correctly. However The installation did not start to battery status of my Gear 360 being below 40 percent.

So recharged it and tried it again later. Now it keeps searching for updates for hours, but nothing shows up. Tried to reproduce this further and error appears to stay the same. After deleting all App Data, I can find the update and download it. However before it starts installing / sending it to the Gear, there is "checking for updates" message again and nothing happens. Seems like the Smartphone (G4 in my case) should connect to the Gear WiFi at this moment, but even with manual connnect nothing happens.

Everything else works fine.
[Android Software Development] dsqaured2:
I have a question, check and see if your Gear 360 freezes during the update attempt (WITH WIFI SHOWING CONNECTED TO THE CAMERA). My Gear 360 won't respond to any button pushes if the "checking for updates" (post-successful download of update), only if the phone has successfully connected to it's wifi connection.

Sometimes it will check for updates post-download but not be connected to the camera.

N7105 Note 2 crash :(

Hi Bin4ry, I have tried to install your Gear 360 manager on my N7105, but I get an instant crash with "Unfortunately Samsung Gear 360 has stopped". I have tried using the latest Samsung Accessory Service as well as a 2.16.125 version but both keep giving me this message. Thanks for your great work on this!

Here is my logcat file: db.tt/gauV2leP

You're starting to get press coverage. Hopefully Samsung doesn't do something about it haha
[Android Software Development] Bin4ry:
As far as i see from your log you seem to use a customrom. Please edit your build.prop and change the value ro.build.manufaturer=samsung to ro.build.manufaturer=CMsamsung.

The app reads this value and uses some propietary samsung stuff which is not available in a custom rom :D

If this happens it could be one of two problems: 1.) you are not connected to the gear360 wifi (check this while the phone shows the loading... screen). 2.) your phone is not powerful enough

Cool, we will see :D I hope samsung rolls out an update soon to fix some bugs ;)

Best Regards
[Android Software Development] dsqaured2:
Yes! I borrowed a friend's Galaxy S7 to update my firmware since my BlackBerry Priv + modded app wouldn't update, and it worked but now every time it connects it insists a software update is available haha. Other than a few light issues (camera freezes on connect, Samsung Accessory Service stops functioning on connect, etc) I can use the normal functions of LiveView, taking pictures and videos and copying to my phone.

Now, I am on the hunt for that waterproof case....
[Android Software Development] JAN.GER:
Thanks for reply.

I can use Street View with no problems. Gear360 is keeping Wifi connected.

SO I can only guess this is the second problem.

Can you manage the list of confirmed smartphones and tablets works well 100%?

I see only Xpedia Z5 it is.
[Android Software Development] discogroover:
I read about your build.prop fix in a earlier thread and it worked! (the line was actually "ro.product.manufacturer=samsung")

Issues:

- Updating 360 firmware downloads, but doesn't install.

- Live view only shows single and rear lens views (dual lens keeps spinning but black screen).

- stitching does not seem to work (probably not powerful enough?)

I am amazed I can at least change all camera settings, and get a lens preview. This increases the usability 100%. You are a genius! Thanks again!
[Android Software Development] Bin4ry:
No, there are a some more. Galaxy Tab S works fine afaik, but i only tested the actual Xperia Series (Z4 Tab, Z5, Z5compact, Z5premium, X) all working fine. I guess it should work on most devices with an CPU >= Snapdragron 810 and enough RAM, but thats only a guess. i don't keep a list, i really hope samsung improves their algo's with the next official release of the Gear 360 manager, i am just waiting for them to release a new version so i can mod it :D

You are welcome, let's hope for a new version from samsung soon, i think they will optimize the algo's to everyone can profit :)

Best Regards
[Android Software Development] JAN.GER:
In details: I see on the top of screen the message "Changing to live view" and the interface is grayed in the background but visible with all icons.

After a several seconds I see the interface and icons in normal view (not grayed) just for single second, then it looks like some new black windows scroll left to right and cover the interface completly.

After next several seconds apk ask me wait/OK (close).

I played with a fes developer setting of device, hardware accelerator, display engine, but nothing helped.

My two cents:

On Samsung Galaxy S5 DUOS (SM-G900FD), stock rom 6.0.1: application installs, Gear 360 connects and I'm able to view the contents of its memory, but: live view doesn't work (black screen), rare crashes ("App has been closed"), viewing files on Gear 360 doesn't work - infinite circling circle in case of timelapse, videos doesn't play, transfer stops at around ~50% (after repeated tries can go to 100% then hangs), coping from Gear 360 doesn't work either. I also suffer from "it wants to update the Gear 360 firmware constantly" problem (after check it states that the firmware is up to date).

I tried stock version of Gear 360 version, modded, and modded specially for Samsung - looks like there's no difference.

Gear 360 FW version: C200GLU0APE4.

Samsung Galaxy S Tab, Android v5, stock rom: application installs, Gear 360 connects, most of the functionalities work, video plays quite slow and is not synchronised with audio.

Cheers,

L.

Application works great on my Note 4 but I have 1 problem - I cant view locally saved pictures only the pictures on the sd card of Gear. If I save the picture locally it is in DCIM/Gear 360 folder but I cant view them using the application. Do you have a solution?

I'm honestly not sure. Maybe someone with a 2017 camera in this thread can help?

Sorry, where does it say I request an old APK? If you mean the original APK I mean the unmodified current build when it gets updated, not an old version

The N5 is not powerful enough or doesn't have the capability to stitch, which apparently breaks saving too, sorry
[Android Software Development] mazus_rocks:
Thank you bro..It's mean it's time for me to replace this old device ?
[Android Software Development] madhorse:
What do you mean ))

There is a list of subitems in " Mode settings" menu item from 2017 camera:

2.1. Video size

2.2. Photo size

2.3. Time lapse video size

2.4. Time lapse video interval

2.5. Video looping size

2.6. Video loop recording time

2.7. Landscape HDR size
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
I mean I don't have the 2017 camera, so I can't help any more. Someone else in this thread may help though
[Android Software Development] madhorse:

Let's hope somebody with 2017 will help me find the password )

Good news

I just installed a 64bit ROM on my device instead of a 32bit ROM, and the app stopped crashing due to OOM when stitching

I think it just needs a lot of RAM doing that
[Android Software Development] kcaj32:
OK. So I bought the 2017 version. Got the wifi password. Connected to my Pixel XL and when I click on Camera, it pops up loading and keeps waiting. I tried WiFi Direct as well with the same result.

One thing I noticed is that the led between the power button and the menu button is red when I turn it on and when I try to connect via the app, it turns blue, I'm thinking it is connecting but the app isn't responding correctly.

Anyone has any recommendations?

I'm on 8.1.0

I'm using the latest version app 1.1.00.5

I was able to format the card in the camera using the app.

On Wifi Direct, my phone shows the peer devices and shows the gear 360 as Invited

On regular connection, I have the mobile data off and made sure my home networks are Forgotten and the phone connects to the 360 WiFi and shows no internet.

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] madhorse:

[Android Software Development] neun123:
can some help me how to connect with xiomi redmi note 4?gear 360 (2016).
[Android Software Development] kcaj32:
Turn it on, keep the menu button pressed till you see connect to Android. Release it and then keep it pressed again till you see connect to iOS. Then press the take picture button. This brings up the WiFi password.

Some instructions had said to keep the menu button pressed just once till you see the iOS message, but that didn't work for me. I had to turn off and on a couple of times, but eventually keeping the menu button pressed two times eventually brought up the iOS message.

Hey Quinny899,

thank you so much for modding this app! :D

I found myself in a very weird situation with the modded version though.

It ran fine on all my phones, but on my Samsung Galaxy S7 with Lineage it would crash immediately.

After hours of trying different combinations I changed my build.prop to fake a Google Pixel 2 and from there it worked.

My question is, would it be possible to mod the app so that it works on Samsung devices like the S7 with Lineage as well?

Cheers and keep up the good work,

oberbapti
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
It should work already. Can you provide a log?
[Android Software Development] oberbapti:

Sure. :)

I changed it back to my original build.prop and took a logcat.

WiFi Problems

Hello Quinny and Bin4ry. I'm currently having a problem right now. Here's the story when i connect my gear to my android (Vivo v7 Plus) i connected successfully via bluetooth and when in WiFi i can't find the password. When i connected the gear to an iPhone 6 Plus the password for wifi shows and it connected to the iphone and i tried to use it via my mom's iphone. BUT, when im going to connect it to my android device, i have successfully connected it to bluetooth but when i click the live view or capture via smartphone, at first i saw the wifi named gear 360 but when im going to connect it, it disappears and it never shows to my android. but when in iphone or ios mobile, its detectable. Help thanks.
[Android Software Development] madhorse:
Thank you. It's working! I propose to include your comment to FAQ in the head.!

I tested WiFi connection mode ( not direct) on my Vernee Mix 2 with Android 7 and this mode is not workable. The reason of that is in absent request for a trusted connection with "no internet" AP.

I know it, because the same situation with camera on drone. It works just after you confirmed the request of system for trusting connection.
[Android Software Development] enricomemo:
Hi, I bought a Gear 360 (2017) and now I'm trying to connect it to my Huawei Mate 10 pro.

I successfully paired it on Bluetooth, but when the app requests to connect also the Direct Wi-Fi (why is this compulsory? Isn't BT enough?) I select the gear360 network and insert the password: the connection is declared ok, but the app continues to ask me to connect to the Gear wi-fi, again and again. If I disable the wi-fi settings automatic opening, then the app doesn't prompt anymore for a wi-fi connection, but nothing works: if I try to use the camera a "Downloading..." box appears and stays there indefinitely, with the waiting circle spinning without anything happening ...

Any suggestion?

Thank you for everything!

Enrico
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
The WiFi is required to actually do anything because Bluetooth is not fast enough to transfer the data I believe. It's Samsung's app not mine, you're better asking them.

You need to get the password for the camera and input it manually, this has been discussed in the last few pages of this thread
[Android Software Development] enricomemo:
Hi Quinny899,

of course I was not arguing with you, only hoping the wi-fi connection could be avoided ... anyway, I already inserted the password I obtained through your precious indications, the app connects to the camera wi-fi direct network, but then it asks again for a connection in a continuous loop and if I ignore the request (the connection seems to be ok) it does not allow to do anything and the access to the camera stays stuck to a "connecting ..." phase forever ...
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
If it's asking for a connection in a loop, it's not connected. Once it's connected, that screen doesn't open anymore. It's working fine, telling you that it's not connected and asking you to manually connect to it can work

You can try using the WiFi direct mode (you're in soft ap mode NOT WiFi direct right now if it's asking for a password) to see if that works
[Android Software Development] enricomemo:
It worked! Using Wi-Fi Direct mode it works almost fine (some random disconnections, but however usable). Many thanks!

Google Support for 360 (2016) wifi password

Good evening Quinny899,

thank you very much to mod this app and share it with the community. :good::good::good:

I have a Gear 360 (2016) and I was really frustated because I had the same issue like some other guys here to connect my phone (Huawei P10+) to the 360 via wifi.

I couldn't find the wifi password.

Solution:

Please follow the link below to the Google support site for 360 cameras and click on Gear 360 (2016) and then follow the instruction until topic 6.

You should now see the password (digits). These numbers are the wifi password.

I cannot share the link because I'm a new user, maybe someone can help me to provide the link to the community?

Best regards from Germany

Paddy :)

Infinite installing Samsung Accessory Service on Samsung I9300 with Lineage OS (lineage-14.1-20180110-nightly-i9300-signed).

I tried indivisual installation, gear manager app could not start.
[Android Software Development] ExploreMN:
Sadly, I can't get this to work at all on my Galaxy Note 4. It won't even load. On my Yoga Tab 3 Pro it loads and I can take a picture using the app, but I can't view the images, can't record video, etc. Crashes when stitching... Tried it on my wife's Moto G5 5th Gen and it won't stay connected and crashes.

I think this get's an A for effort, but seems it doesn't work on most devices rather than it does work on most. It sucks Samsung won't allow this outside of their ecosystem. It gets such good reviews, and they would make many more sales if they did...plus those buying the camera, if they liked it, might consider buying one of their phones down the road too. I think in business terms they call that "growing a brand" or something.
[Android Software Development] jamesmcuk:
I am the same. Galaxy Note 4. Crashes on load. I had lineage os and it crashed. I have unrooted and gone to stock and it crashes.

Here is what i have done if anyone has a suggestion:

Total clean install if stock samsung rom 6.0.1

Installed samsung accessory service from apkmirror

Installed app from OP

Set permissions for both apps to enable

Crash

Rooted stock rom

Changed manufacturer in build prop to cmsamsung

Reboot

Crash

Tried most of the above on lineage as well with the exact same result.

Pixel 2 x 360 2017

Just to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for this. Working nicely on my Google Pixel 2 with my 2017 360.

For those asking about the wifi direct password, you need to choose 'connect to ios' rather than 'connect to android' option and then make a note of the wifi password it gives you. Then start again and when you're asked for the password, you have it ...

Connecting Nexus5X and/or Nextbit Robin with Gear 360 (2016)

I installed the software on Nexus 5X and Nextbit Robin and tried to connect to Gear 360 (2016). I paired it with Bluetooth. However, when I click the camera option in the app I get "Loading" and then it says something about password. I don't know what this is and why it is needed. I do have Gear 360 (2016) paired and working with Samsung Galaxy Edge S7 - there was no password etc...

When I go to setting and turn off the wifi-direct the prompt for wifi connection/ password disappears but the app is stuck at "loading". Please help. Is wifi-direct/ password required? If so, how do I find the password. Also, does the camera preview work without need to install a specific (Samsung) camera app

thanks

Gear 360 control

I have a question. Do you think it would be possible to connect Gear 360 to PC(i mean modify code, so it simulates being on the phone but it is a PC app) ? Or at least connect Gear 360 to emulated Samsung Galaxy S6, which in theory should work but idk about practice?

Have anybody else tried to connect it to emulated device?

If it was possible i would love to try to connect Gear 360 to PC(like phone functionality) but without knowledge on how they did pairing and connection between app and Gear 360 i cannot do a lot. I'm not the greatest in reverse engineering.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
You may be interested in the efforts to use telnet on the device:

https://github.com/ultramango/gear360reveng/issues/7 (this is the 2016 model, the 2017 one has another issue)

Using telnet, in theory can control the camera over WiFi. As of yet it's not been hacked sufficiently to actually use the camera (as in take photos) or use something like FTP to transfer data, but that may happen in the future
[Android Software Development] ShakeCaine:
Eh. It is a shame they didn't release open api for this(i know there is normal api but only for Android devices). It could benefit them greatly, if people could use it as webcams or whatever even without Samsung Phone but i guess they just want for people to buy phones and 360 camera.
[Android Software Development] jamesmcuk:
Hi Quinny.

Been having a mess around with the older version and as mentioned it wont stay connected on bluetooth. That said i noticed that if i try to pair it manually through settings then setting crashes out pretty much as soon as it sees the gear 360. Maybe its an error in the stock rom i downloaded.

Anyway its great to actually see the app load so a big thanks for trying to get this working for everyone. I tried looking at the logcat i posted on the previous page but i cant really understand why its crashing. On lineage it looked like it was running out of memory but in this stock rom i cant work it out as i am an android coding noob. Would you be able to run your expert eye over that logcat and see if you cant spot what may be causing my crash with the latest version of the mod.

Many thanks in advance.

[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Hi, I meant to reply to you (sorry!). The crash is a bug that I've seen previously and know how to fix, but was never added to my "porting guide" (which is also the guide I follow myself on an update) so it wasn't added to the newest update. I'll fix it asap
