Fuji X App Not Working - Anyone Else Having Same Issues?

Unlike most other Fujifilm users, I never had a problem with the old Fujifilm Remote App and my X-T5. Pictures were transferred reliably and with no issues from camera to phone. I was massively looking forward to the new X App with its updated look, timeline and activity menus. Put simply, everything works apart from image transfer (which is a massive issue). I’ve tried formatting the memory card, formatting my camera and reinstalling the app - nothing has worked. I couldn’t wait to use the app on my trip to Portugal in three weeks, it looks like I’ll be re-downloading the old faithful Remote App again :(

Have any of you guys had similar issues?

When you say "everything works" does that include the ability to use live view and take photos? What happens after you have taken a photo using live view? You switch to image transfer  (at the top of the screen - the download icon) and see the image you have just taken - select the image and "Transfer the selected image" button should appear - do you see that? Does the button not transfer the image?

Or where exactly is the problem? And what error message do you get (if any)?

Lets me take photos, but not transfer to the iPhone. Camera connects via Wi-Fi but then just hangs. Similar to Timeline and Activity buttons, they record where I took the photo and what lens/film I used, but no photos. The issue seems to be in the transfer of the photo. I've reinstalled the Remote App and that is working...

At what point does it hang? Wi-fi needs to connect successfully in order for you take take photos in live view.

If you have taken photos using live view do you see the "Download" and "Camera" icons at the top of the screen?

Do you see the image you just took when you touch the download icon?

If so do you get the "Transfer the selected Image" button after you select the image you just took?

If so - and you press the image is that the point it hangs?

Bluetooth connects and then it asks me to connect with wi-fi. After confirming it hangs.

Live view? In the camera? When I use remote control I can’t see the camera screen, just the button.

no.

Images don’t pop up at all.

I’ve uploaded what it looks like when I try the Image Aquisition button. For the record I have allowed the app to use the Local Network.

Ah I see - did you get the "Waiting for Connected" message on the back of the camera when the app tried to join the Wi-Fi network?

As a last resort you might try backing up all your settings and then doing a complete reset of everything.

Yeah was waiting for connected the whole time. I already have! Formatted everything!

Sorry couldn't help - frustrating - worked for me with both iPad and iPhone and both X-S10 and X-H2S - the wi-fi is slow but at least it works

Please i beg for help... I purchased a new Xt5 last week, i managed to pair/connect my camera to my phone after the firmware update (2.01) and transfer files. Yesterday i took a lot of photos so i wanted to transfer them to my phone, i tried to connect the camera but it couldnt, was searching the bluetooth device forever, so after a while, decided to delete the camera from the app, and delete all the records from the camera menu. Since then, i coundt even get to pair the camera again, followed all the basic instructions but nothing works, the app search for a devide forever, even after you choose the model manually, like 100 times. Already tried restoring settings.

      ISO and exposure dial’s misbehaving. Need help

      By Michaelb5 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I am new to the fujifilm system, and I just received my X100vi about 15 days ago, and yesterday I noticed that ISO and exposure dials are acting up. I spent hours watching YouTube videos and reading forms without finding any solutions. Using ChatGPT or Gemini also didn’t help. My issues are the following: If I want to set my ISO at a specific value then the camera LCD/EVF shows a totally different value. For example, I have shutter manual, aperture manual and ISO dial at 6400, the camera shows ISO at 4000, when I take pictures it will show ISO at 4000 and not 6400. When I try to choose another ISO value it will skip some of the available values that are shown on the dial. Another issue I am having is when my exposure dial is not set at specific value, then I cannot set ISO to Auto no matter what value I select on the dial. If I do select the different exposure compensation values, then I choose A for ISO, the camera will activate the front commend dial to manually change ISO values. To get in Auto ISO, the shutter speed cannot be set in auto and the ISO dial should be set at 125, when I turn the ISO wheel, it seems like the numbers are misaligned by one value, If I put the dial on A with shutter speed manual, then it will trigger the front commend dial. The other issue that I am having is when I have Aperture, shutter speed and ISO on manual, If I change the exposure dial compensation + or - , it actually changes the exposure of the picture as well as the ISO value, which as I understand, if Camera is in full manual, the exposure dial should do nothing. The last issue that I am having, if I do have ISO in manual at a set value, and adjust exposure compensation dial, it alters my ISO instead of my shutter speed or my aperture, even though ISO is in Manual and the other two dials are in Automatic. I am not really sure if all of this is by design and I am just not understanding how everything works together, but it seems really odd how everything changes. Resetting the camera settings didn’t help.

      Remote Release suddenly stopped working

      By FSND · Posted

      I also have the eaxct problem with my X-T5. The remote used to work, but not anymore. I also get the light coming on on the camera back, and autofocus will happen, but no shutter release. Since I use the 2 or 10 seconds timer more I don't know if a firmware update is the cause of this negative change. I actualley only use the wired jack-remote for action release on a tripod.  Did anybody find a cause, and even more assisting, a solution?
