Pairing hero 4 with app [ New ]

[oldbugger]

I have no way of pairing the camera with my app. How do I initiate?

Hi @oldbugger

There should be an option to connect a camera.

To help isolate the issue further, would you mind pairing the camera to another phone?

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks!

   • Press the Mode button to highlight “Pair,” then press the shutter button to select it.
5. On the app, tap "Continue."
6. On the camera, press the shutter button to select "GoPro App."

Ther is no icon to add a camera on my app. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app with no improvement. I have a Pixel phone.

Hello, @oldbugger. Will you be able to send us a screenshot or short clip showing the GoPro App interface when you are adding your camera? This will help get a better understanding of the issue.

We checked with Android devices with the latest version (v 6.11) of the app installed and we are able to see a + icon on the upper-right corner of the camera tab page. Pressing it gives us a list of camera models to choose from. 

What do you get on your end instead of this page? Thanks!
