  • No connection with OI Share app and Olympus camera

I am trying to establish a connection to my Olympus Mark IV camera with a Pixel 7 with the latest GOS using the "OI Share" app. This requires both a Bluetooth and a Wifi connection. The Wifi is produced by the camera itself. Unfortunately, neither a Bluetooth connection is established nor does the app realize that the device is connected to the Wifi. If I try to establish the connection via the app, the Bluetooth search does not continue. The Wifi connection screen also remains blank and shows nothing at all. In stock Android, the app works without any problems. Even with Android 14. It seems to me that the app does not get access to the api's of the connections.
Does anyone have any idea how I can get the app to work?

I found a simple solution. Just activated the location service and the app connects. I can't believe it.

    dirksche thanks for reporting back. The lack of other posts in this thread makes me think others didn't have any ideas on how to fix the problem, myself included.
