    How to Identify Yourself in Radio Communication with Control Tower

    Brand new mavic cant use it, help.

    I still have issues. Sadly, i rarely fly my mavic because i never know if my phone will cooperate. I can connect half the times though. The app freaking crashes constantly when i can actually fly. It takes the fun right out of it. I wish i never sold my phantom 3. Id at least have a backup option.

    DJI GO 4 app on Android 7?

    If you deal with custom roms, Chad's uber rom seems to work well for me on my nexus 6p. Stock is a nightmare. Most roms are too. Its a learning experience. I never thought id consider apple products, but i have, because of this.

    Brand new mavic cant use it, help.

    I've figured mine out. If my phone wont detect the remote when plugged in, i have to go select file transfer at usb menu at the notification pulldown. Then a popup asks what app to use for this device, litchi or go4. Some roms on nexus 6p will not work for some reason. I still get app crashes on...

    Nothing but problems

    I think im done. Im not buying an apple device just to fly this drone. Today, i cant even get my phone to detect the remote. Its always something. I like to take sunset pictures. I cant have a drone that i have to troubleshoot like this every time. If i can even get it to work, the sun would be...

    Yes android nougat. Nexus 6p. Liquid dark rom. I changed roms since the last time i flew i think. I hope that aint the problem or im going to need to buy a dedicated device for this drone. I didnt buy a nexus phone to run stock android. Lol

    Nothing but problems

    Im at a loss. Ive had this drone less than a week. Every time i try to fly it something goes wrong. What is the point in having a drone that is so fussy that its not reliable. This time, i go to fly and dji go 4 crashes every time i turn motors on to fly. Relaunch it, immediately crashes. Tried...

    4th flight now this happens

    I have read it. I brain dump the stuff that i dont use or dont need to use. I have no business tweaking camera settings since i dont know what they do. I guess a little more knowledge is in order given that this drone is alot more camera the the phantom 3 standard im used to. My p3s controller...

    4th flight now this happens

    If it was something i adjusted it should have changed back when i restarted the app then right? Im having one hell of a time with finding where stuff is in the go 4 app. Its different than the other go app. I never changed any camera settings before though. I am not a photographer, i dont know...

    4th flight now this happens

    I was flying around my neighborhood when all of the sudden my video gets really faded with white. I could barely see to get home. I snapped some pictures and they are the same as the screen. I changed nothing in the settings. I did update firmware yesterday, but it flew fine right after. Go app...

    Brand new mavic cant use it, help.

    I got it working. I had to clear the cache. First startup with the app, a menu popped up about usb control or something. I checked the box the first time. Apparently that was not the thing to do. Then i had trouble registering the mavic. It would freeze. I got one flight in before sunset. I'm...
