Yup. It's not a good look. Of course, depending on the precise problem it's probably forced them to completely redo all of their alpha, beta, system and acceptance testing for bluetooth support for IOS, Samsung etc as well as the Oneplus/Oppo stable. So TBH I doubt we'll see anything until the end of September, they won't want to rush it and bork IOS or Samsung support.
Regards X100VI firmware update 1.31.there are Bluetooth problem since the recent update. I have an Oppo Find X8 Pro which runs on colour OS, my version is 15.0.0.840
I paired my Fujifilm X100VI seamlessly on the old firmware and was amazed how firmware could be upgraded through Bluetooth/WiFi using an app as my Lumix, Sony, Nikon FF gear was the usual download update, ectract bin file. Copy to formatted card, fully charged battery and update through menu.
Upgraded to a new firmware with ease some months ago when first getting X100VI. Had to reset phone without unpairing, another issue with Google pay. Unrelated.
Reconnected camera to my Oppo, saw notification about firmware update in last 10 days. Upgraded to the latest through Bluetooth/WiFi direct.. Took a while but was successfully updated. Then I have to re-pair the phone, now it says to remove the previous device X100VI, so I follow procedure to forget the previous pairing. However it doesn't get rid of it and I ended up doing reset network settings on camera. Didn't work either. Then I did a factory reset of the entire camera which is a pain as you have to set up the whole thing again and I didn't really back up my settings. Anyway, this also didn't work so I ended up doing another factory reset of my Oppo phone. After setting that up, the problem is still there. Can't get rid of the original pairing. Huge disappointment, loads of time wasted to no avail.
I'm in Australia so I've got on to Fujifilm Aus. The representative was fantastic and he walked me through all the trouble shooting steps. Exhausted all avenues and had to accept defeat. He did mention that a lot of people had contacted them and were having issues since this new firmware upgrade. So we can only hope that they might do another firmware patch to fix the problem or update Fujifilm X App. I am almost ready to sell this camera after these dramas. Considering maybe going back to Sony, Nikon, Lumix (2nd Gen). All pricey stuff.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers
Ian
