I'm using a Google Pixel 5 and recently updated to Android 12. Now, my phone will no longer connect (and stay connected) to the camera WiFi It seems that since the phone detects 'no internet' for the camera WiFi signal, it now automatically looks for a different WiFi signal to connect to. This wan't a problem prior to Android 12. This seems to be a phone/ connection issue, but i'm wondering if anyone knows how to correct this? I haven't seen an obvious way to correct this through the phone settings yet. I'm using a EOS Rebel T6i with the latest firmware.
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Greetings,
I can confirm this is working on Pixel4 and Pixel6 Android 12.
Tested both Wifi and BT individually. No issues with either device remaining connected. The camera conected to my P4 as it did with 11. I then cleared the previous profile settings on the camera. The new phone connected immediately. I tested settings, image transfer and live view (shooting).
Canon App version 2.8.10.20 (build 1246)
Android 12 v12(SD1A.201817.036)
Glad you got it working.

Thanks for the suggestion, it seems that was an option before (or with some phones) but no longer an option without 3rd party software....as I understand it. But, I tried again this morning and started over, reconfiguring the WiFi connection to the phone and it worked today. (so as long as it's stays working, problem solved.) Maybe my phone lost some info during the Android 12 update, and even though it said 'connected' it might have been struggling to authenticate or something? Thanks!

@asdsixty9,
I'll try for you today. I just moved from a P4 > P6 both running Android 12.
Last I connected I was running Android 11 on my P4, both wifi and BT worked.
Edit*** Confirmed working:

I'm having the same problem. Camera Connect worked fine on Andriod 11 but fails on Android 12. It connects via wifi, but then disconnects a couple of seconds later. GPS does work.
I tried clearing wireless communications settings, but that doesn't help. What else did you do to get it to work?
