[Android Software Development] gbalaka:
After reading through multiple multiple threads on here, i'd like to thanks Bin4ry for creating this modified app.

1. I have a Note 4 that I don't use anymore, so I wanted to use it as a 32 GB storage device exclusively for the 360 videos.

2. I have no issues connecting the phone to the camera (2016 version) with whichever version of the app that use. Never an issue with bluetooth or any of that.

3. I have settled on sticking to version 1.0.10 Force 2k Version.

4. Everytime I try any kind of a 4K version, the "saving" of videos constantly crashes at 29 or 30%. It's become quite obvious that the phone just can't handle it. Sounds like a hardware problem.

5. I've sweated enough over this - if you have a Note 4, don't bother with the 4K version - it will ALWAYS crash.

The only downside of the 2K version is that it's half the resolution......but hey - better then NO K........at least i have the app on the phone and can watch the videos and photos.

Not going to complain.

Instrucciones en Español para usar la versión: 1.0.00-2

En mi caso tengo la 360 del 2016 asi que lo que hice fue:

1) Prender la camarita

2) Abrir el gear 360 y esperar que se conecte normalmente

3) Clickeamos en Camara y cuando se queda en el cartel ( Cargando.. ) van a Configuracion de WIFI > Configuración Avanzada de WIFI > Wifi Directo

4) Ahi en la parte de Wifi directo encontraran para conectar su camara o bien probablemente se conecte solo

5) Regresan al Gear 360 y tecnicamente les abre el LivePreview

Recuerden hacer los pasos del WIFI Directo! el WIFI directo es una opción dentro de la configuración de WIFI.

Hi!

I just bought the gear 360 (old version).

I can connect to the camera thanks to this app with my Moto g4, but I can't do anything else:

when I try to click on "gear 360" or on the icon of the cam, I get a "loading" message, and it stays there..

I've checked and the wifi does go to the cam wifi and gets connected... so it's not a wifi connection issue...

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi all,

I use WI_FI apk on Sony M5 mobile. Have some problems with Samsung Gear (new) 2017 when record Video and try to copy to mobile phone.

It gets stuck on 31% no matter how long I waited. Sometimes 32%, sometimes 33%. With pictures (360) work fine, copying, stitching, uploading to FB. I need to shoot video (360) 2,3 minutes then to copy via apk to my mobile phone, then stitching and finally upload to FB.

Any solution?

Hi Guys,

I have Samsung Note 4 with Android 6.0.1

Camera Software version: C200GLU0API1

Just today I received my Samsung Gear 360(2016) from Amazon(Link)

I tried to download the app from the link in the first post but unfortunately the apk file not working.

anyway, than I download the Samsung Gear 360 Manager version 1.0.21 as apk file from Google Store and suddenly it's working with me fine.

Live view working fine also I connected it with Google street app and its very good.

May I have old version because every time I connect it show me there is an update for camera firmware.

do you think if I update the firmware it will be fine and working properly??

[Android Software Development] Z3comp+Gear17:
Quinny899 hi! and to all who contribute to solve this.

Using a Sony Z3 compact and Gear360 (2017) (obtained three days ago) , have read all 95 pages of this forum and spent many hours trying suggestions. (also came across one other Z3 compact owner, bigr1979 in #883)

After dnlding and installing the following apps :

A. Gear 360 Manager-1.0.13-34 Mod 4k.apk 58,5 Mb

B. com.Samsung.android.gear360manager_1.0.00-2_SOFT_AP.apk 69,1 Mb

C. com.Samsung.android.gear360manager_1.0.00-2_WIFI_DIRECT.apk 69,1 Mb ( page 66 your comment)

I have to say that all 3 apps act identically on the phone-camera connection: Camera easily connects via BT (Android), and I’m able to take photos or start video at whatever mode is preselected on-camera. I see Batt Status, and can enter Settings, and then in Camera Settings I find inoperable (grey) choices of Photo Size for 2 or 1 Lens (but I suppose it is not meant to vary from 15 or 3 Mpix, same as on-camera), while at Video Mode normal functionality exists. Also the Collection Settings works (inclination correction).

Apart from the Settings Menu all 3 other menu options DO NOT work at all but (guess what?) keep LOADING forever… Tried numerous reboots for many hours, cancelling internet WIFI and connecting to Gear360-WiFi, but then the BT disconnected etc.

Then with the WIFI_DIRECT.apk installed in JUST TWO INSTANCES OF 5 seconds each, in a 2-hours session of trial and error attempts, I happened to SUCCESSFULLY enter the remote camera viewfinder on my phone screen , black screen-no large preview, but a small circular image of what the camera was seeing at that moment (PHOTO-mode) seen at the right of the tap-button, also on top I could see exposure, WB and HDR info, also the settings gear-symbol.

Screenshot : www_dropbox.com/s/bz05pg137rl4404/Screenshot_20170803-004336.png?dl=0

I had the chance to tap the Photo button, resulting in the vanishing of the screen in just a couple of secs, while a couple of more secs later the camera sounded a delayed taking of the photo! Since this incident I had no luck in entering the preview screen again, even simulating previous doings…. I had actually accessed the WIFI settings on the phone while connected with BT, after disconnecting from the WIFI router, and as far as I can remember from those few seconds of happiness, THE MOMENT the Gear360 was detected by WIFI DIRECT, then immediately the screen was on, never again though did it happen again…

I strongly believe that my Sony Z3 compact is capable to fully connect and work with the Gear360, but there needs to be an app revision as to why all this endless ‘’loading’’ accurs to most of the non-Samsungs!!!!! Please do continue the fabulous work that will offer great service to more than we can imagine, since the Gear360 {2017] (and 2016) is a v. new and v. desirable imaging apparatus, and big-time purchaces are to follow, prices getting lower and all. Thanks again, happy holidays and looking forward to your in-depth investigation towards this puzzle solving! And do do those how-to videos !
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
I've answered how to get past Loading... so many times in this thread, please search through before posting.

It cannot be fixed in a revision to my knowledge, unless I added checks to disable mobile data/connect to WiFi

Failure sync with Huawei P9 Lite

Hi

I tried to sync my Gear360 (2017) with an Huawei P9Lite and I only can take pictures or movies as a remote control. But I have problems downloading the last version and with the LiveView. I tried to deleted and installed it again and gave all permissions to the app...and still didn´t work. Is there any other way to make it work properly? It will be amazing to fix it because in two days I will go on holidays. Also I had a problem with the Gear360 Action Director because it asked me for the serial number of the product and the serial number only have 11 digits... Did you have any problem with the program?

Thank you in advance.

;););)
[Android Software Development] Debitto:
Finally it worked!! Thank you so much guys!!!

The problem was in Wi-fi Direct! I forgot to do this step!

1. Installa 2 apk.

2. Pairing with the Gear 360 (in my case is 2017 ver.)

3. Press Camera and a (loading...) pop-up will appear.

4. Go to wifi settings, press wifi direct and after trying 2 times, finally the Gear360 wifi appeared!!

Everything works perfectly! Camera, livestream...etc i have problems just saving video/image in the app...

Thank you so much!!!
[Android Software Development] Chaotnix:
At first thanks to bin4ry and Quinny889 for their good work. The App works great with my Redmi Pro.

Is there any chance to update the firmware to the new C200GLU0AQF1?

The newer versions of the app say, that I have the newest version. The older ones download the firmware from the server, but fail at uploading it to the camera.

I also tried to copy it to the sdcard, but the camera won't update.
[Android Software Development] yosoycris:
What app do you install?

[Android Software Development] gtokarsk:
gear 360 app - thx

Just wanted to say thx for working this! I think it's a stupid decision on Samsung's side to restrict it like this, even on many Samsung devices, so I am very glad someone made it work for other phones. I got it on nvidia shield k1 and nexus 5x, both on android 7, and no issues.

Did anyone ever do a firmware upgrade n that camera?

Also, Did any one find a way to NOT do a timelapse, but actually tell it to snap a pic - say every 2 sec? I am trying to get to the point where I fly it suspended under my drone - and photo would be the best way to capture good quality - but wifi range is a bit limiting, as you can imagine...

Anyhow, glad to at least have the app working as it is! Way more control over the device this way!

Thx again!

I'm also having issues with camera model 2017 and the Wifi direct apk. The AP version asked once for password, but I didn't know where to look for it. Tried then to install the WIFI direct apk but with it the camera is being recognized as being the 2016 version, and wifi connection doesn't work either.

Any idea?

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] miltonlaufer:
This is great! Just a couple of questions.

Hi! First of all, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for doing this. It's great and allow us, non Samsung users, to work with the camera properly.

I have a couple of problems, though, and I wanted to know if there is a solution for them. It is worth mentioning that I have the 2016 model of the camera.

1) WIth this version (I'm talking about the SOFT_AP, the WIFI_DIRECT was really difficult to use, it was almost a lottery to get connected), is almost impossible to download the stitched images or videos. Sometimes it works, but most of the time it doesn't (after some progress, it says "Gear 360 has stopped"). This is very troubling because, after using a lot of different software, I noticed that no one stitches the images automatically as good as the app does it. Any ideas about this?

2) With the previous version you did (the one for the 2016 model), it doesn't even connect with the camera. After pairing (with the pair code and stuff), it keeps saying "Connecting to Gear 360".

For both problems, I tried deleting the cache and app data, even for the Samsung Accessory Devices app. Rebooting the phone doesn't seem to work either.

I'm using a Moto G5 Plus (US edition).

Once again, thank you very much for all this!

Cannot view gallery or export photos on Pixel XL (Android O), it crashes. The live view works fine just with a few seconds lag.
[Android Software Development] rdjjj2004:
First of all, thanks for the time and effort to unlock this app.

For the most part, as much as I can tell after 2 days, this seems to work on my stock HTC 10. That is, it installs successfully and I am able to take photos and videos using the app.

The issues I'm noticing are as follows:

- Unable to update camera firmware. App seems to hang after 100% download (this might just be an operator error)

- Unable to wireless transfer a short video (25sec) from camera to phone (claims to be at 100%, but "CANCEL" button never goes away)

- After wired transfer from camera to phone, unable to stitch video on phone (claims to be at 100%, but "CANCEL" button never goes away).

There has been an update to the 2016 app. Any chance of unlocking it?

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...ager/samsung-gear-360-manager-1-0-21-release/

I would also be interested in the Viewer app, if you haven't already unlocked it.

I just read the blurb at the top of this post saying that the 2017 app works for the 2016 camera. Will give this a shot.
[Android Software Development] rdjjj2004:
Okay, so after some trial and error (note to self: clear cache+data, uninstall, unpair from camera, then reboot phone.... BEFORE installing a different version of the app), I finally got the 2017 version working (mostly) on my stock HTC 10.

I could only get the SOFT_AP version to allow me to remotely control my camera and view photos.

I'm still unable to view/stitch video, or transfer videos to my phone. I'm also unable to view the local copies of files I previously transferred to my phone via USB.

I like that it no longer bugs me to update app/ firmware, but will probably switch back to 2016 app so I can view local files.

Still don't understand why the app needs to send SMS and read my contacts. Lol

[Android Software Development] rdjjj2004:
Davirus849,

You might need to do what I had to do:

- go to storage settings and clear cache+data

- go to apps settings and uninstall Gear 360

- go to Bluetooth settings and unpair from camera

- reboot phone

- install the app

NOTE: My stock HTC 10 complained about having both apps installed at the same time, so I had to repeat the above steps each time I switched back and forth.

Good luck.
[Android Software Development] Yeurnston:
If got it working!!! Woohoo!!!

I have bought a Gear 360 2017 recently and own a Huawei P8, struggled and stumbled quite a bit and could only make a picture remotely. No live view or anything. After reading a lot of posts I performed the following steps:

1. Install the required Samsung Accessory Service (from earlier posts)

2. Install the com.samsung.android.gear360manager_1.0.00-2_SOFT_AP.apk;

3. Install the com.samsung.android.gear360manager_1.0.00-2_WIFI_DIRECT.apk;

4. Launch the app and connect your gear 360 through bluetooth;

5. (!) go to your wifi settings and check if you have an active wi-fi connection (not a wi-fi direct connection) and disconnect the connection by 'forgetting' it;

6. Go to the gear 360 app and select the 'Camera' button for the live view;

7. (!)When you see the loading screen, go to your Wi-Fi Direct menu in settings and connect to the gear 360 if not already connected (mine connected in the blink of an eye);

8. Go back to the gear 360 app and enjoy the view.

In my case was the key to make sure that there is NO WI-FI CONNECTION ACTIVE leaving all the Wi-Fi bandwidth for the gear 360 connection. Keep in mind that you may have to repeat step 7 a couple of times to get it working.

It's amazing! Thank you so much for making this work!
[Android Software Development] rdjjj2004:
Nice that you were able to resolve your issue. I somewhat suspect that you could eliminate step 2. I'm guessing step 3 is effectively overwriting everything created by step 2.

Well, I'm waiting for your verdict. What donation do you want for it, If this can be done ?
[Android Software Development] cuspess:
Hi, first of all thank you for your effort. The mod is brilliant that really opens up the possibility to buy the gear 360 for us people without a samsung phone.

I tried installing this app to test a demo unit in store today and glad to say it worked great, connected easily and pretty much do what it would have on a samsung phone. However I later try to connect to a friend's gear 360 but could not connect at all. I suspect it is something to do with the firmware version on the gear 360. The demo unit in store has the older firmware (I guess, as soon after i connected it prompted me to update the firmware). My friend told me he updated the firmware with his samsung S7 few hours prior to me try playing with it.

I am reporting all these because I am really tempting to buy a Gear 360 for myself. Knowing my Sony phone would connect and work fine with a Gear 360 with original firmware is positive, but then I start to concern again when it fail to connect once the firmware is updated. Does it mean a newer version of 360 manager is needed to fix this connection issue? Thanks.
[Android Software Development] zampa1973:
Works perfectly (4K) with Xiaomi Mi Max and Gear 360 with latest firmware. Tricky to obtain connection, just need to close and reopen the app some times until you get the right time (it's related to the wifi not connected with the camera - my phone is disabling the connection with the gear360 wifi access point if it doesnt find a working internet connection in it). The Gear manager updated itself after first use

Was able to save to internal memory, and share to *.*, also the compressed version. If you keep improving, I'll be the first to donate

[Android Software Development] mjamesf:
Hi I just bought the Gear360 yesterday, I actually have a compatible samsung Galaxy Note 5. But it only stitch videos to 2K so I'm exploring to try this Mod.

I just want to ask if I need to uninstall the original gear manager app before installing this modded app? Can I keep both app?

I know I can just try for myself but just want to ask first cos i'm worried it my corrupt my phone or something, after reading one of the user whose Note 4 just died after installing.

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] nk7:
[MENTION=1346722]Bin4ry[/MENTION] Thanks for this app and for your help. I will be purchasing the camera now - have a Note 3 and 4 and a friends Sony Z4 tablet so might be able to use it on one of those. Will update and test next week hopefully. Appreciate this very much.

On a side note, I'd be interested in a true HDR app (even with 4 or so photos) stitched in equirectangular format as well. Willing to donate and be guinea pig since Note 3 is hardly used personally.
