Hero6 turns itself on, won't stay off. [ New ]

[robert1326]

hi,

try to turn off WiFi on camera.

with Wifi on, at least from mobile you can turn the camera on.

so Wifi/bluetooth channels remain on when Wifi is on.

I'll put a video soon, I'm in a meeting now.

in the video you will see:

- wifi connection on on camera

- from GoPro app you can Power off/on the camera

- even after you quit the GoPro app on the mobile, when you enter the GoPro app again, the camera will Power on.

all above are fine and normal.

what I wanted to stress is, with camera Wifi on, there is a Wifi (combined with bluetooth) channel that remain open.

and this channel is let's say prone to "power on" 

taken into account that WiFi on drains the camera battery, my sugest is to Wifi turned off. 

thank you,

robert

Thank you Robert.

Hero6 can's switch off. I installed the latest update; I reset to factory settings. But holding the Power off button doesn't work. Removing battery is only option, but as soon as I put battery back, the Hero6 switches on again.
