Problem with the go pro app

[rockydive08024]

Hey! My Go Pro 4 is paired to the app, but when I try to connect it it doesn’t work. The app tells me to go to settings, connect to the wifi and return to the app. Connecting the phone to the cameras wifi works fine, but when I return to the app nothing happens.. please help!

Hi @rockydive08024

It will be best to run a manual update on your camera.

Please refer to this link.

Once the update is completed, uninstall/reinstall the GoPro app on your phone.

Proceed with the pairing process.

Please note that you may need to forger the Bluetooth ID through your phone's settings.

This should get it all sorted out.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks!

Hi @rockydive08024,

Possible your phone automatically connects to a Wi-Fi with internet connection. 

Please try to disable auto network  switch or smart switch on your phones connection settings. 

You can also manually connect your phone to the cameras Wi-Fi SSID.

Thankyou for your reply @graytree76514!
Unfortunatly disabling the auto network switch didn’t work.. How do I connect my phone manually to the cameras Wifi SSID? Earlier today I was suddenly able to connect it, and I thought everything had worked out, but when I tried to do it again the same problem occured..
