Selfie Stick wont connect to my Motorola Android

Trying to set up my bosses selfie stick, it connected to my Samsung Galaxy 4 and worked just fine but when I plug it into his Motorola Droid Maxx it doesn't even register that I plugged anything in and I cant figure out how to make it work

Welcome to Android Central! I assume it's the type that you plug into the headphone jack, and not a Bluetooth stick, right?

Open the camera app, and check its settings for an option to have the volume button act as the shutter release. Make sure that's turned on.

I had a similar issue and was able to set the volume controls to trigger the camera - but only by manually pressing them. Still does not work with the selfie stick plugged in to the headphone jack. Any ideas?

Even with wired headphones the volume controls do not activate the camera. Perhaps there is a camera app that supports using bt volume controls to activate the shutter?

In fact, I just looked. There is an app called Remote Shutter Camera by Mobile Apps Studio. It has a bunch of one star reviews, but it may be worth a try.

See my post two above yours. Try the app in the play store I mentioned and see if that works with the selfie stick.

motorola e and panasonic mobiles are some odd ones. while i am working on motorola i could get an app that works for panasonic p51. try coolplay camera from google play. simple and a very small app of just 2 MB unlike camera 360, you cam etc.

You need to download the Camera 360 app and use it to take your photos using the selfie stick.

I tried Camera360 with my MotoG. It didn't work for me. I'll try the other app mentioned above... CoolPlay Camera.

See post number 4 if that doesn't work.

Won't work. It's not the settings on the camera app, or what camera app you use. It just doesn't work with the Droid Maxx. (For the Droid Maxx, you need a selfie stick with a Bluetooth actuator).

Use Moto voice. "Ok Google now, take a selfie." That should work.

What if your camera settings doesn't have that option

I downloaded an app called woofie camera from google store and works great on my moto g now with my selfie stick or u can just shout cheese and it takes pic, i didnt have any camera settings on my phone and my selfie stick didnt work atall untill i installed this app

Re: Selfie Stick wont connect to my Motorola Android

The problem has to do with the gyroscope. Download selfr from the Google play store. It's a selfie stick app that allows you to set the command level. On the app go to preferences and set it for about between 30,000 and 40,000.
I hope this helps.

For the Droid Maxx you can use woofie camera if you have a stick that connects through the headphone plug.

@Adrian James2 Thank you. Its working.

Try the app Open Camera. It still won't make your selfie stick work. But you can have the camera snap by making a sound, like "cheese".

You can do that with the stock camera and Moto Voice. "[Launch phrase], take a photo" or "... take a selfie".
