Hi @blkhwk8, 

Please try to uninstall and reinstall the app.

After that check also if you have a stable connection and your phone's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is turned on.

Reinstalled app, Wifi and Bluetooth is turned on, the only thing that happens when I hit Set Up Live is it just trys to connect then goes back to previous screen with set up live

Hi @blkhwk8,

Please try to reset the camera and install a new firmware manually.

After that check if your camera is connected to the phone and the phone has access to internet. 

If you do not have an active Wi-Fi try to turn on your mobile data with hotspot so that the camera can connect to your phone's mobile data.

Hello @blkhwk8, can you say if you have resolved? I'm in same situation with a Sasung Galaxy S5. I rest the cam, reinstall manually the last FW, but nothing change...

Thank you.

This.did not resolve the issue. I have been able to start a broadcast but it shuts down after a few seconds

Hi @antoniop340 and @antoniop340

I just want to know. 

Are you using a Wi-Fi to connect to internet or Mobile data and hotspot from your phone?

If you're using Wi-Fi try to disable smart network switching. 

And if you're using Mobile Data and Hotspot try to check if the connection is stable. 

Thanks,

Hi, perhaps at this point there is something I didn't understand.
First thing: the app crash when I touch Live...
Can you give me the right step?
I don't have smart switching...
My steps:
1. Enable GPS, bluetooth, data connection and WiFi on smartphone;
2. Launch GoPro app;
3. I control that the WiFi icon in the upper right corner near the Hero 7 is blue;
4. Touch the button to control the camera;
5. Preview opens and I can switch trought the different mode;
6. I try to go in Live mode and the app crash...

Update:
I try with my daughter iPhone and it works.
I'm very disappointed: on the box there is also Android!!!
