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.

      X-T4 accept external timecode?

      By Chas · Posted

      The Tentacle Sync Timecode tool is the one I tried. I couldn't get it to work. But that is probably my fault, not the software. I seemed to get a file, but I couldn't turn it into anything meaningful.

      GFX 100s not connecting to Mac via USB-C

      By jerryy · Posted

      I am glad to read you are able to get this up and running. Pretty much as long as you connect the camera and turn it on and wait a few moments for the computer to register the connection, you can then use Image Capture (which actually is a very decent program with a lot of options for transferring images from cameras to the computer) or Lightroom or other programs to move the images to your library. There are some drawbacks; connecting to the computer while it is in sleep mode will waste your time, the connection will not get recognized— you will have to unplug the camera, wake the computer and start over. Trying to connect while the screen saver is running may work, it may not, often not. If the computer goes into screen saver mode while the camera is connected and sitting idle, it usually stays connected when coming back out of screen saver, but if the computer mputer goes into sleep mode, the connection gets dropped and you have to unplug it and start over. I suggested having the camera turned off while connecting, this is to lower the possibility of static electricity discharges frying either the camera or the computer or both. A lot of times you can connect while the camera is turned on, but not always, sometimes you have to unplug, turn it off, reconnect and turn it back on. A lot of this comes from Apple’s approaches towards keeping USB devices from hijacking your computer, some is just hubris and some is from the vagaries of chance. p.s. Your laptop should be able to connect to the camera.

      X-T4 accept external timecode?

      By simonhuegly · Posted

      Hi Chas, I am just fallen into the rabbit hole of investigating how to upgrade my X-T4's video sound... Loving the idea of time code sync, I am now quite concerned that the X-T4 doesn't support it, although I have already seen different statements on the net, like here:  https://youtu.be/xja27RmvbhE?si=hIch3Tu_MH_pWSBH&t=571 I have to admit, this guy's "explanation" gets quite confusing in his further discourse ...:) BUT, as you wrote that you use Tentacle Sync for Windows!, did you also try with their windows-only software "Time Code Tool" which you find here?: https://tentaclesync.com/timecode-tool   Would love to here if you found a workaround with the XT4 Best, Simon
