Me too. Elph340hs. Worked fine with nexus 5 and nexus 4 with kitkat. Installed lollipop on nexus 5 and will not connect. Fine with nexus 4 with kitkat and fine on iPad 2. Is there an update of camera window?

Same problem here. Nexus 4, Canon Powershot S120. Was working fine, then after the Lollipop update it will no longer connect, either directly on via any wireless AP.

Hi trogau!

 

Thanks to everyone for posting on this thread.

 

The current version of Canon CameraWindow is only compatible with up to version 4.4 (KitKat) of the Android OS.  It is not compatible with Lollipop yet.  Please continue to visit the Play Store to check for any updates as they become available.

Thanks for the response Mike. Is there any chance of an ETA?

When will this issue be fixed? I think it's reasonable to expect a schedule for this.

If no response received promptly then the new camera I received for Christmas will be returned as unfit for purpose. WiFi connectivity and the android app were advertised features of the camera.

This isn't acceptable, android 5 has been out for months and the SDK available for even longer.

I'm sure plenty others have just received a new camera this week and are in the same boat, an official response to this issue and a confirmed schedule for the fix needs to be provided.

Agreed. More of the same for those of us who had a camera that worked and then stopped with the new is. Canon needs to support its users!!
