Hello everyone!
I’ve been using the Fujifilm X-S20 for about a month and a half now, and during this time I didn’t have access to a PC. Fujifilm has released a new app called X-App, which supports RAW file transfers. You can transfer files using either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi. At first glance, the app looks great but from the moment I installed it, it completely drained my patience…
My device is a Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, and the key factor here is that it runs Android 15 (meaning this issue exists on Android 13 and above). No matter what model you have, if it’s a Samsung device, you're likely to run into this problem even A-series models are affected.
Things I tried but never worked:
Resetting the camera’s wireless settings under “Connection Settings.” (In some cases, the phone briefly detects the camera, but it’s pointless.)
Manually deleting the pairing record.
Repeatedly pairing through the X-App.
Trying both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz connections over and over.
Disabling all options like “Switch to mobile data if Wi-Fi is poor or unavailable.”
Completely turning off all battery optimizations for the X-App.
Following every single step from the Android and iOS connection guides provided by Fujifilm. (None of them worked, I had already tried everything.)
Trying to transfer files through the in-camera gallery using “sequential commands.” This actually worked for a short while, the camera would keep enabling Wi-Fi, but the phone still couldn't detect it.
And now... the solution I discovered completely on my own:
1. Go to your phone’s Wi-Fi screen and tap the three dots in the upper right corner.
2. Select “Intelligent Wi-Fi.”
3. On the Intelligent Wi-Fi screen, scroll all the way down and tap the version number (shown as something like "Intelligent Wi-Fi x.x.x.x") repeatedly — until the hidden developer settings are activated.
4. Once that’s done, you’ll see a new menu called “Connectivity Labs.” If it doesn’t show up, close the settings and reopen the screen, it should appear.
5. Inside Connectivity Labs, scroll down and tap "Customize Wi-Fi list settings."
6. Now, adjust the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) slider all the way to the end and leave it on “Show more.”
After doing this, simply turn your camera off and back on, then try pairing it with your phone from X-App.
From this point forward, whether you use 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, you’ll be able to transfer photos and videos smoothly and without disconnections, either by selecting them directly from the app, or by sending them sequentially from the in-camera gallery.
No ChatGPT, no forums, no AI could solve this for me... But after digging around and experimenting on my own, I finally figured it out, even if it took a while.
Thanks for reading, I hope this helps someone out there!
