    I have been having a few dramas with my cam freezing since i last updated it so i did a search and found this. Have not tried it with the old version yet but on the off chance someone has the problem here is a possible solution.

    Some Hero 3’s are having the same issues according to the blogs. Seems it is a firmware problem. I have not updated my Hero2 so it seems you have dragged a bug into yours. The GoPro crew are no doubt onto it so update again regularly and I am sure they will fix the glitch.

    I have to say I am not big on updates, my thinking is if its working and there arent any problems with how the thing in question is working why mess with it. I seem to end up with problems I didnt have after an update I didnt have before hand :blink: I am not talking only about GoPros :laugh:

    Scotty is right if its known they will fix it quick smart

    My hero 3 black freezes. Need to take the battery out to unfreeze it. Mine came with a warning inside the seeled box to update firmware before use which I did. My wifi stopped working after a couple of weeks
    and go pros answer to fix it was to reload the firmware. This fix the wifi but still freezes. According to Gopro Facebook page they are saying the have fix all known bugs with this latest firmware update but there still seems to be lots of people complaining about the freeze issue including me.

    For the most part it doesn’t bother me I just pull the battery and replace it and alls good but last week I was down the coast snorkelling when it froze. Not about to pull it out of it waterproof case when floating around the ocean.

    Guess I will wait for the next update to fix the bug they say they have already fix.

    Mine said to update it as well when I got it, I did because it was new. It hasnt missed a beat, doesnt freeze WiFi works fine, will watch with interest what happens here.

    Nato you arent talking about a 3 but are you?

    I have spent some time checking it out mate and it is a firmware glitch. The new update on the 3 and 2 are similar and are both having freeze issues. Revert to your previous setting or wait for the new one.
    I agree with TB on the upgrade point. If my hardware is functioning well I always ignore the upgrade advice. Always!!

    I have the gopro 3 black it froze but after reading a bit on the net. I tried one thing and that was deleting the files on the card and formatting the card while it is in the cam.Go through setting for this.And so far it has not frozen on me nor wifi not worked.
    Give that a go.

    My Hero 2 also was also prone to freezing after I did a update :angry:
    However there was a new update & now all is fine ;) It seems to be a firmware problem or a glitch when you are downloading the firmware
