Hello
I have the hero 5 black series which was working fine with the huawei mate 8 , but i upgraded to the mate 9 and found a serious problem ,
When connecting the gopro through the connect app on the mobile device the wifi gets stuck and the cam doesn't connect .. the more serious problem is that the phone goes into a deadly halt and doesnt respond at all or restart / power off ... until i do a hard reset and re-install the whole firmware from scratch ...
Tried it on 2 mate 9 phones and same problem persists ...
Please help !
hi,
i'm new to this forum but i follow it since a while, today i have an issue and a lot of questions so i registered, thanks by advance for reading.
i think i'm having an issue with my new galaxy s7 exynos with bluetooth, i got it new with android mm and noticed that the bluetooth range was really poor on my philips fidelio P8 bt speaker ( A2DP )
my experiment :
my old phone was a galaxy s4 advance and my friends have galaxy s5 and s6 so i tried them all on the same speaker, s4 advance / s5 / s6 can go up to 8m without obstacle, a cement wall doesn't stop the signal at under 5 meters but a human body does ( even at 1m from the source a human body can block the signal on all of them )
now the galaxy s7 seems to have a weaker range, it struggles at 5m sound fade out and/or start to skip sometimes at 3 or 4 meters from the source, a wall totally block the signal, if i hold the phone in both hands it even cuts at 1m depending how i hold it... is it normal ?
( both my s4 and s7 have uag armor case ) my s4 have a far better range and doesn't cut when i hold it with both hands.
then i tried to update to nougat 7.0, tried again and the result is the same, i tried to uninstall all my apps to see if a third party app could cause that, wiped cache, same result.
my girlfriend bought the s7 edge exynos ( android 6.0 ) in the mean time so i tried with her phone my speaker again same configuration, i can go almost to 9m from speaker without issue ( with samsung flip case )
what the ..? the s7 edge has the same processor so it doesn't make any sense, i tried without the uag case on my s7 and still having sound cut barely reach 5m...
how come ?
I then tried on my sony MDR1-A BT headphone, the range works flawlessly this time ( almost 10m on both s4 and s7 )
is it possible that my philips bt speaker use a non optimize bt protocol with s7 ? ( no aptx on s7 exynos from what i have read, s4 advance have aptx )
does the lack of aptx lost in quality or the s7 bt is better ? i don't know if it's a placebo effect but the s4 bt sounds better on both speaker and headphone. if wired both sounds great on my headset.
is it possible to reset my bt settings ? ( maybe the speaker first connection used a weak protocol for some reason and is stuck to it ? is it even possible ? )
all my experiments have been done with and without wifi in the same room.
anyone notice the same behavior with other bt speakers with their s7 ? i read on some forums that some people have sound fading and cut even with the phone in their pocket :x
should i send it to repair or wait for nougat 7.1 ?
everything else on the phone seems to work great and smooth, i must admit i don't feel that much of a boost from the s4 advance ( snapdragon 800 ) on every day use.
so the S7 weakness is the bluetooth ? just when i was starting to enjoy the bt with my sony headset, it's convenient sometimes...
sorry for the long post, thanks by advance for reading and answering me,

I dont have any problems with the bluetooth Connection.
I have tried 3 devices:
Jabra 510 Speaker with Bluetooth (BL 3.0) -> Music streaming
Sony MBR-XB950BT Headphone (BL ?) -> Music streaming
A Windows 10 Desktop PC with Bluetooth (BL 4.2) -> File transfer (25MB) from Galaxy S7 to PC
The Test for Music streaming worked without problems by a distance of 15 to 20 Meters
The test for file transfer worked with max distance of 15 Meters without disconnect
Modell: SM-G930F with Android 7.0

thanks for your informations, since my sony headset seems to work well with it, i will wait to be able to try on more bt devices.
still not solve...
i still struggle to find a solution, now i tried with a bose speaker from a friend, my girlfriend S7 edge is working as intended, my S7 lost signal from the speaker if i hold it in my hands 2m from the speaker ( wifi off )
this is terrible... i also now realize that the wifi signal is weaker than my S4 and connection speed is slower than it should, i'm connected on a fiber 1gbit wifi and speedtest on my S7 is maximum 52 mbits ( it says strong signal 144mbs in wifi settings )
should i send my phone to repair ? i found a lot of people in my case on google and some of them send it back for a repair, it solved the issue but for some of them the problem came back a month later and had to send it again or deal with it...

i bought the S5 at release, it was slower than my S4, no sd card, couldn't copy what i want from sd card, sold it, bought the S6 at the release, everything was slower than my S4 advance again and the phone more fragile, offer it to my mom, now S7 after a month i still use my S4 advance and thinking of selling it because of the bluetooth issue.
i don't understand also why they remove the button to cast video from the stock player ( that disappear from the phone and has to be download from the store, what a let down... ) now it takes 4 times more clic on the screen to do the same and you must cast the whole screen, stupid... no aptx for bluetooth, poor range and quality through bluetooth compare to S4.
how can i fix this ? a factory reset would work ? i have so many things copy with smart switch from my old phone it would take litteraly days to restore all my files / settings etc ... i have more than 90 gb of data and apps..
please tell me all those issues are coming from android and it will be solve :x
Am i the only one who is totally disappointed ?
This is strange. I get good range with my S7 & MDR-XB70BT. I can pretty much walk around a 2 story house just with a couple of black spots.
In contrast I have a Homespot Bluetooth transmitter plugged into my TV & that signal even has black spots if you're in the same room with the transmitter.

I just purchased new Honor 6x from BestBuy in US . I tried watching VR videos today with Aura VR headset. The video was constantly shaking. I tried to calibrate the gyroscope using a few apps I could find in the playstore but nothing helped. This is a great phone but gyroscope is really messed up. I tried using Bubble Level and the reading continously fluctuates on a flat surface from 0.2 to 0.6 on both axis.any solution ?
Gyroscope on 6x is just a simulation of magnetometer and accelerometer (just red it somewhere on the forum). Maybe thats the reason why its constantly shaking
Everyone has dat proble... Hope they solve in future updates
The gyroscope worked fine for me before the emui 5 update now it's idk what anymore
Can I use the Gear S3 Frontier to display the output of an external (chest strap) heart rate monitor that is connected to my phone using Endomondo?
Basically I need more accuracy than the built in HR sensor and on my old LG G Watch R, I could see the output of my Garmin ANT+ HR strap connected to my S8+. So in other words, I'll still take the phone with me but want to use the phone to watch my heart rate.
Thanks.

Unfortunately no as far as I know.

There is a watch face called "Sporty Watch" by Stefan Thomas. It says it will display the HR from various chest straps. Not sure about the linkage with Endomondo. I haven't tried it yet - just read about it.

I think I've explained myself poorly....I am not interested in using the watch on its own. I just need to use Endomondo on my mobile phone and see amongst others my heart rate on the watch. This heart rate will be calculated by the Garmin heart rate strap connected to the phone. The phone is just used as a display.
It seems possible in the phone app and I think it is as i can see the same settings as used on Androidwear but would like to confirm before buying the watch.

Nope, that's just related to the watch's app. I just need to check how the watch behaves when connected to the phone....seems like it's tougher than I thought....
Same question here.
Only need is to see heart rate from my garmin heart rate sensor with ant+ connected to my galaxy s10e.
Is there a solution?

I have just aquired an Honor 10 and this watch. Try as I might, no amount of clearing data/cache has worked. Everything reinstalled multiple times... I have upgrade the firmwar pn the watch by pairing with another phone.
Basically the watch will pair with the phone, but the app/plugin crashes as soon as i accept the pairing. I'm not sure if this is better posted here or in the Honor 10 forum, but to be honest this is driving me mad.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could throw any light on this!!
