The drone will fly fine with no phone connected at all, so that would explain why you're able to start the props. The Fly app isn't needed for that. I'd guess the USB cable is bad or there's crud in a connector on one end or the other. Trying another USB cable might solve it, looking into the...

Do you know about the other Android remote id apps? OpenDroneID, AirSentinel, and DroneScanner all work for me, but I see some posts where they don't work, makes me think some Androids do and others don't. I don't think an iPhone's wifi works to detect Remote ID, may only be for Android.

The Israeli outfit Percepto, a few months ago, got FAA waivers for one operator to fly 30 drones for inspection and mapping. Percepto Receives Waiver to Operate 30 Drones Autonomously: the “Holy Grail” of Industrial Drone Inspections

FWIW, since there are so many 'negative results' and doubts about it, OpenDroneID, DroneScanner, and AirSentinel running on an Android, a Pixel, have all shown the RID 100% for the 4 drones, older Mavic 2s that were updated and a new Air 2S, with native RID, and also a Holy Stone RID unit on an...

Thanks for this. What I see is somebody working with the tiny connectors and doing a job that doesn't require soldering...

'Replacing the mainboard' requires re-soldering the motors to the tiniest solder points there are and working with the tiniest connectors known to man. It's not a trivial thing to do, not possible at all unless somebody's really good with a soldering iron.

I've considered ODM, haven't considered the others, might make an ODM server some day... After some consideration, I went with DroneDeploy as a 'turnkey' solution and have stuck with it. It's pricier now than before, but it's competitive with the other excellent solutions. My subscription was...

I don't see where anybody mentioned un-install and re-install the GO 4 App. That's what finally showed the Remote ID in the About screen for me...

The DJI drones are put together with lots of solder joints to tiny points on the flight controller for the motors and a few other components and relatively few connectors. They don't just snap apart and back together. If you haven't already, you might want to find a YouTube or other tute that...

Nobody's mentioned apps like OpenDroneID, AirSentinel, or DroneScanner in this thread yet, so I am. If you're wanting more assurance you're transmitting RID than a message on your controller, they work for me. My Mavic 2s since update, Air 2S, and a Holy Stone RID unit all show up fine in...

Sorry, I had misread the original or maybe a comment. I'm using a MavMount on the controllers for Air 2 and Mini 2. If I had a RC2 I wouldn't want to clamp a tablet to it... I'll set out to delete my comment...

Hi all, I got a Holy Stone RID unit yesterday and would like to share that it works fine for me, and the little frustrations... The QR Code in the little user's manual was corrupt and took me to a site that wanted to charge me $48 per month for God knows what. Not knowing what anything looks...

FWIW, AirSentinel, OpenDroneID, and Drone Scanner from the Play Store reliably show my Air 2S on my Pixel 6. WiFi scan throttling has been disabled. I see a lot of comments where this or that RID scanner don't work, so wanted to post that these work for me.

The Care Refresh policy goes with the serial # on the drone. When DJI sends a refurbished or new replacement under the Care policy the replacement's serial # points to the policy along with one hit on it and another remaining. If you get to the end of the policy with a hit or two remaining...

Nobody's mentioned AirSentinel, OpenDroneID, and other smartphone apps that show RID location of drones in range but do not tie into the drone registry... I've got no experience with them myself, am waiting firmware for Mavic 2s and trying to find RID unit for Inspires, Minis don't need it...
