Does Pixel 7 Pro Work with Z1 and THETA Mobile Application with Android 14?

Original discussion

Some people are reporting problems using the Pixel 7 Pro with the RICOH THETA Z1.

I am unable to replicate the problem with a 2024 Moto G Power 5G running Android 14, RICOH THETA app version 2.9.4

If you are having problems with the RICOH THETA app, please report on:

  • mobile phone model (possible problem with Pixel 7 Pro running Android 14)
  • Android OS version (usually in settings, About phone)
  • version of RICOH THETA app
  • RICOH THETA model
  • RICOH THETA firmware version
  • short problem description

I will summarize feedback and report to RICOH.

I tested the three basic functions

Ideas to try if the app does not connect

  1. make sure that you connect your phone to the camera using the “Settings” WiFi first before you open the THETA app. Do not use the built-in THETA App automatic connection.
  2. uninstall THETA app from phone and then reinstall
  3. reset WiFi using button combination
  4. connect to the camera with API tester and then reset the Z1 settings

I have an article here on using API tester

This is the command to reset the camera settings
