Mobile app horizon stabilisation does not work

Former Member — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 10:52:55 GMT

I have a clip, I use the director to choose my angles, looks great in the spp with the horizon lock stabilisation on. When exported, gives different angle and not what I chose. Change the stabilisation to vibration reduction only and on export it gives me what I directed just without the horizon lock and more vibration because of that

Harmon 65w no gallery share menu item??

6148554 — Sun, 27 Feb 2022 23:42:35 GMT

Got the 65w dash cam and I am trying to use the VIRB application. Directions say go to Gallery and the “share” tab. There is no share option in the menu. Should there be? Or don’t you use the VIRB app? I have set up the Drive app and that detected my cam. Seems a little strange all the documentation says go to the gallery/ share menu.

Garmin Dashcam 55 Not connecting to VIRB on iphone 11

Former Member — Fri, 30 Jul 2021 04:19:38 GMT

Hello,

I''ve had a dual garmin dash cam 55 set up for the past year. I have recently had issues with my second dash cam that I have as the rear dash cam recorder. The trouble with my second Garmin Dash Cam 55. It's still stuck on the set up bug that has you putting in language, time, unit etc. I know it's a known issue, but it's still stuck in this setup boot loop. This is the current Dashcam 55's software version

Dashcam 55 has the following software version = software version 4.0, GPS Firmware 1.26

I have tried updating my camera through garmin express, but it will not complete the secondary part to where it will not install the current firmware update once you plug the dashcam back into in the car and I'm stuck on that boot loop.

Garmin Express ver 7.7.1.0 on my PC

Dashcam 55's Wifi is still detectable by my iOS devices, but the Garmin VIRB app cannot detect the dash cam itself.

iOS 14.7.1 on my iPhone 11
iPadOS 14.7.1 on my 4th gen Ipad pro 9.7 in model.

I need help in trying to factory reset my dash cam so I can install the new firmware.

How do you save a 360 photo/video in ios?

Former Member — Fri, 18 Sep 2020 06:52:23 GMT

I used to have google pixel and it was convenient how I can save 360 photos/videos on google photo, and I can view them in 360 interactive mode or google cardboard. Now in ios the images are saved as panoramas?? I can't view or edit them in other apps, and everytime I want to show my 360 photo/videos I either have to upload them onto social medias,or connect the virb 360 which is very VERY inconvenient.

Impossible to export Video to YouTube (security issue)

Jeremie ALL. — Wed, 09 Sep 2020 19:46:43 GMT

Hi,

For several months now Virb Mobile and Virb edit are unable to export videos to YouTube.

Google has modifiied the way third parties are signing in with new security guidance. Garmin has not updated it apps. Thus it is impossible to export to an YouTube account because it is impossible to sign in (VIRBZ being consider by Google an untrusted app).

For those who expected to share on their account a video 360 from Virb 360, they just can 😭. After 6 months now, Garmin have not bother updating its apps 👎.

"Failed to export, if this happens again, please restart your app and camera"???

Former Member — Sun, 31 May 2020 23:26:53 GMT

Hi,
I've been using the Garmin Virb Ultra 30 and so far I've been super pleased with it until this evening.
When trying to export a 20 sec clip after editing, I get a "Failed to export, if the this happens again, restart the app and your camera"?
Well I've done that... Kept doing it and still no luck.
It will let me take a picture of the moment but its not quite as comical as the full 20 seconds (which really makes a difference).
The strange part is it was only this one video.... Other videos worked fine.
So I deleted the video hoping it was a just a bug but hey ho, it's decided to move to another video - same problem - same error message!
Could someone please give a more detailed answer as to WHY its failing to export rather than the app repeatingly telling me its failing to export.
I have a Hawuie P20... So its not exactly an old phone.
Many thanks

seeking previous versions of virb mobile app

Former Member — Wed, 01 Apr 2020 09:52:10 GMT

does anyone have the iphone installation .ipa file for an older version of VIRB mobile? the current version requires minimum iOS12, and is further bogged down with excess features for latest garmin cameras. those of us with older cameras were better off with previous versions of VIRB mobile. no longer available from app store, and garmin refuses to give us access to the old files. hopefully, a prudent user out there archived the old install files.

Former Member — Sat, 22 Feb 2020 18:48:49 GMT

Hi,

My Virb x wont communicate with my pcs, so i can only export videos via the App. But the App only exports a green video. The sound and Gmetrix are there and only the very first frame, then just green.

Any ideas what im doing wrong?

VIRB app fails to upload hyperframed edit, after upload it shows a “360” clip in a 1920x1080 frame.

ChrisBerkhout — Thu, 06 Feb 2020 22:31:13 GMT

Hi all,

Since a few months I can’t upload a clip I edited in hyperframe in the mobile app, anymore. It just uploads a clip that shows the 360 footage in a 1920x1080 frame. This is quite annoying, ‘cause I want to go skiing and upload clips to social media right from the slopes. And I’m reluctant to bring a laptop while skiing. Is anybody familiar with this problem and know how to fix this?

Virb Ultra compass data + app connectivity

Former Member — Wed, 25 Dec 2019 17:18:27 GMT

So I've tried asking Garmin support via email, and have been getting responses that don't even relate to the question I am asking. The question is, why is the Ultra 30 recording what seems like interpolated compass image heading when using interval mode photo. Surely having a 100hz compass sensor should mean it's capable of using it?

To make this is more on-topic, the app would randomly fail to connect to the virb, and the remote wake never worked

Hey! Guys, I am unable to connect my iPhone 7 via VIRB to my Garmin dash cam 55. The WiFi of garmin shows connected to iPhone but on the top-left side no sign of WiFi. I have gone through the forum content but no relief. Even the Garmin, Taiwan and India couldn’t assist me.

VIRB elite will not connect to Galaxy S10.

outlaw24 — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 02:42:31 GMT

I got a new phone (Samsung Galaxy S10 - Android 9.0) and I cannot get it to connect to my VIRB elite camera. My phone finds the the camera's WIFI and it seems like I can enter the WIFI network name and password bit the app just says "CANNOT CONNECT TO VIRB. PLEASE TRY RESTARTING THE CAMERA". I can connect to the VIRB with my old Galaxy S6 phone so it looks like the camera is OK. Any ideas? I tried removing the WIFI network, reinstalling the VIRB app... Still not able to connect. Thanks for any help!

Virb delayed video.

stratblue — Fri, 27 Sep 2019 15:37:26 GMT

Hi All.

I've set the Virb XE up and I'm watching the video on a Blackview BV9000 Android phone via the Virb app and the video feed slows down gradually, after leaving it for an hour or so the view I'm getting on the phone is almost a minute behind real life. Any solutions?

Thanks.

VIRB App on Android APP + Hyper View + Doesn't Work

mcgong — Wed, 16 Jan 2019 19:27:24 GMT

I can't get Hyper View to work on the Android App. I can go into it and create different angels for the clip, but then when I select "DONE", it won't let me back out of it. It just gets stuck with playing the clip. I've tried this on two different Android devices and both exhibit the same behavior. Has anyone else been able to work around this? I've tried on an iPhone 6 and it works fine.

VIRB Mobile App + VIRB 360 App Crash Issue During Change in Settings

Former Member — Fri, 16 Nov 2018 09:59:58 GMT

BACKGROUND INFO:
Samsung Note 8, VIRB Mobile App Build Version 4.3.3.0
I typically shoot "out the window" shots from indoors, and I'm having difficulty getting the exposure right nearly all the time. I recognize that this is a bit of an unusual situation since most people shoot exclusively outdoors or exclusively indoors.
With other traditional cameras, this isn't much of an issue since you can typically choose "spot metering". With the VIRB360, there is no such thing as spot metering.
I've been trying to work around that problem with "Exposure Compensation" and "Exposure Lock" under "Pro Settings" with limited success.

THE ISSUE:
Anyway, the real annoyance is that any changes made in the app takes up to 9 seconds to take effect. This is a problem for me since I have to mess with Exposure Compensation and Exposure Lock to get usable footage. I had to scrap hours of footage because the scenes were overexposed.
A single change takes 9 seconds and making multiple adjustments can take up to a minute, and that is a problem when I want to start shooting RIGHT NOW. Even if I pre-plan the adjustments, it still means waiting 10~30 seconds for the settings to take effect and app to refresh.
If I get anxious and try to make multiple setting changes at once before each change takes effect, the App fails to refresh and hangs in circular loading icon in the middle of the preview area. When that happens, if I simply quit using Android "Home" button and re-enter the app, the apps is crashed. If I quit to "Home", use "Overview" button and close the VIRB app fully, and then re-open the app, the app will take a few seconds to reconnect but otherwise work fine with the change I made intact.
Hypothetically speaking, if I were to change Exposure Compensation from -2.0 EV to +2.0 EV, it'll take me ~2 minutes since it's 12 steps of change multiplied by 9 seconds each if I don't want to crash the app. Although in that case, it'll actually be quicker for me to make the whole changes at once, crash the app, then reload.
I've been working around the problem that shouldn't exist in the first place.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
Have the app wait a second or two before trying to apply the changes so that the user has enough time to make all the changes.
In current form, it'll add a second or two for the settings to change, but at least it won't crash the app.

ACTUAL SOLUTION:
Make it so that the changes take effect immediately without delay and allow multiple setting changes without crashing the app.
