scott kirkpatrick Posted September 28, 2018 Share #21  Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Downloaded Fotos beta this a.m. Upgraded CL firmware and was irritated to discover that although the install instructions for CL firmware 2.1 state that "the camera will guide you through the backup process of your personal settings," it did not do this.  Once upgraded, the Fotos beta seems to work nicely with the CL. One thing that bothers me is that when using a phone to control the camera, the Focus Mode is set to Touch AF and this mode persists after the camera is disconnected from the phone. I'd like it if the mode that was set on the camera previous to connection to Fotos was restored. I'll sit down and run through the different cameras, but all of this sounds familiar to me on first approach (with Android 7.0 and v24_Photokina app). I also found my CL left in touch-AF. There is a path to explicitly disconnect the camera. Touch the upper right corner "gear" to see the disconnect option. See if that resets the CL to its original condition. The use the reporting functions to summarize to Leica. The forum discussion should be just for us, to target issues that we need to look at further, and keep everyone up to date on new releases.  I've worked with an earlier version of the Fotos app on Android, and they are making progress on connectivity, believe me. Edited September 28, 2018 by scott kirkpatrick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 Hi scott kirkpatrick, Take a look here New Fotos App. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
wjdrijfhout Posted October 2, 2018 Share #22 Â Posted October 2, 2018 Just received a message from Leica Customer Support. Updated app should be available next week, which should address the connectivity issues with the SL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted October 3, 2018 Share #23  Posted October 3, 2018 Downloaded and installed Android app s24_Photokina (I'm not sure it is new, but the playstore web page had a new date). SL connection problem is unchanged Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LD_50 Posted October 4, 2018 Share #25 Â Posted October 4, 2018 Foto's is not available in the iOS App Store at the moment. You had to sign up with Leica. They would send you a link to be a beta tester. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewteee Posted October 4, 2018 Share #26  Posted October 4, 2018 Ah, then this thread makes sense. I appreciate that they seek real user feedback on the app's performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
meerec Posted October 4, 2018 Share #27 Â Posted October 4, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) You download the beta app through Apple TestFlight app that you need to install first after you've signed up for beta-testing with Leica. Feedback on the performance, bugs, issues is collected automatically through the TestFlight association. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted October 4, 2018 Share #28  Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) TestFlight informed me this morning that 24.1 of Fotos for iOS was ready and waiting. It connects to my SL (and supposedly to the TL2 as well, but I don't have one.). Remote seems to work, but I was unable to view the pictures already on the card -- large card, 600+ pictures, 8 folders, none came up, and when I asked it to download the first two, it couldn't. Fotos could not find my email app on the iPad mini (I use it mostly as a Kindle), so I couldn't report this.  Fotos 24.1 (for iOS) iPad mini with iOS 12.  Android version is still at 24.0 it appear. Can't connect to the SL. But I noticed that it can show a landscape picture in landscape from its gallery.

meerec Posted October 4, 2018 Share #29 Â Posted October 4, 2018 I confirm, the latest build 0.24.1 works like a charm with SL and CL too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irakly Shanidze Posted October 4, 2018 Share #30  Posted October 4, 2018 Fotos updated to 24.1. Works fine with M10 and SL. Actually, the previous build worked with both cameras too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanhulsenbeek Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share #31  Posted October 4, 2018 Fotos updated to 24.1. Works fine with M10 and SL. Actually, the previous build worked with both cameras too.  With FW 3.3. and 24.1 the connectivity is fine with my SL. Kudos to Leica. Much easier than any app I know. No profile to save anymore.  But my filename F1000002 is exported as DO1000002. Already reported to app-support, together with screenshots.

frogfisher Posted October 11, 2018 Share #32  Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) New update for LEICA Fotos App iOS Version out now. Seems to work great with SL, M10P, Q. Really well done Leica  Edited October 11, 2018 by frogfisher 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted October 11, 2018 Share #33 Â Posted October 11, 2018 Android version 24.2.1 available on Play Store Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted October 11, 2018 Share #34  Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) I downloaded Android 24.2.1 on my Moto G4, Android 7.0. It connected to the SL but remote operation was not solid. Lens mounted was an R 80/1.4 on Leica adapter (R to L). Operation stuck in P mode, couldn't get to A mode. Crashed. Reported all this.  Now trying iOS 24.2 which is also now available. On iPad mini. It works better. Remote works, although it still thinks it is in P mode when it should be in A. Previous settings are retained in the camera. Scanning 650 files on a large chip took about 10 min before I could see the newest thumbnails. I didn't try M mode, as it is late here.

didier Posted October 13, 2018 Share #35  Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) I’d like to use the app asap as I am going on a trip in 8 days. Does anybody know if it (and how) possible to get the app for iPhone (not available on Leica we site anymore) ? Or when it will be publicly available on the appstore? thanks  didier Edited October 13, 2018 by didier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted October 13, 2018 Share #36  Posted October 13, 2018 You need to register to join the beta. Go to fotosapp.leica-camera.com and click on "Early Access." It may take a while before you get the invitation and some instructions. Both the Android and iOS versions of the app still have bugs, so you may not want to complicate your trip with this.

didier Posted October 14, 2018 Share #37  Posted October 14, 2018 It looks as if Leica has limited the beta version to a number of testers, and that number has been reached for iOS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Albertson Posted October 19, 2018 Share #39 Â Posted October 19, 2018 24.2 seems to work on my iPad, it connects easier and pretty much stays connected. One annoying feature is that it switches from the EVF to the rear screen without being asked. Downloading images takes awhile, and the camera really warms up as it does so.

LocalHero1953 Posted October 19, 2018 Share #40  Posted October 19, 2018 I thought I had accidentally pressed the EVF button, but you're right. That's either an unnecessary feature (I don't want a camera deciding what setup I want) or a bug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
