[SOLVED] Issue activating Insta360 GO (1) on Android

I purchased an insta360 Go from a legitimate source but faced issues in using/activating the device via USB cable with my Android phone One plus 9R using app 1.3.4. I was able to access files on my laptop via the USB cable + case and control the camera via Bluetooth on my phone app but each time I connected via USB to my phone I got an activation prompt which failed saying "Activation failed 14001 (3002)"

My camera shipped with firmware v0.4.21.6 and upgrading to v0.4.25.6 did not fix the problem.

SOLUTION: I connected my case+camera to an iPad running the iOS app of Insta360 Go and when prompted for activation there, my camera activation succeeded. Thereafter my android app is also able to properly recognise my case + camera over USB and all features now work.

Leaving this here for anybody else who gets as irritated as I did with the Android experience and regrets their purchase/thinks of returning the product. Hope this helps and I hope Insta360 devs fix this bug in the Android app.

Best,
Mayank

Happy shooting :D
