In general Wifi function on the K-2S is useless. Even when it worked in the earlier version it was so slow it was only good for transferring a few pics at a time. Now I have an Android 9 phone (OnePlus 6T) and v.2.0.1 doesn't work at all. This is really bad. I was able to get ver.1.1.6 on Atpoide thanks to vrolok post above, and it works as long as I connect to wifi with the phone first...else it crashes. I can't see myself spending any more money on Pentax digital when they put out crap like this.I really hate when a company advertises a selling point and it turns out to be a fraud. I'd rather they just say..."we can't do wifi, we're just not good enough".
Also...in general...the way wifi works on DLRs is stupid. I don't want the camera to be a wifi hotspot...I want the camera to connect to wifi hotspots so I can transfer directly to cloud storage. I know that take a little more computing power, but if I can buy an android tv box for $29, surely that can add the hardware needed to connect to a wifi hotspot...select a cloud storage url, login and drop folder, and do a transfer. Am I missing something, or is Ricoh?
