2017 gear 360 actiondirector not working

Once you see the code on the Samsung Gear 360 camera's display matches the code shown on the App, you can complete the Bluetooth pairing process. Instead, you have to manually pair the devices by turning on the Samsung Gear 360 camera, holding down the camera's Bluetooth button, and pressing the record/Ok button to start the connection. Surprisingly, the App doesn't try to suggest using NFC to pair the Samsung Gear 360 camera to the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. After we got past this screen, we were able to install the Samsung Gear 360 Manager App which is needed to control the Samsung Gear 360 camera and only runs on the Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge, Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+, Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.Īfter installing the the Samsung Gear 360 Manager App and getting through all the setup screens, the App showed you how to connect the App to the Samsung Gear 360 camera. It took a few tries before the NFC connection process actually worked but we got brought to the Samsung Galaxy Apps on the phone although the first thing we saw was a potentially confusing legal information screen. Since both the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and Samsung Gear 360 camera headset supported NFC, we could touch the camera NFC symbol to the back of the phone to start the connection process. We were hoping to enjoy the captured by the Samsung Gear 360 camera and touted as a key feature by Samsung, but were surprisingly disappointed at how difficult it was to play that resolution even though the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge itself could record and play 3840× 2160 resolution video. After purchasing the Samsung Gear 360 camera, we wanted to take a closer look at how to use the Samsung Gear 360 camera with a Samsung Galaxy phone like the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and play it with the Samsung Gear VR (2016) headset.
