So I'm having a problem getting my Mavic mini to work. I have the original mini, which I got in 2020. I used it for a year and a half with very few problems, after which I left it alone for a few months. I also got a new phone during this time, which may have caused problems with the app. In the summer of 2022, I tried using it again, but the app didn't work. I would try to open the dji fly app, either by manually pressing it on my phone, or through the function that launches the app when I connect my phone to the controller. Either way, the app quickly opens, showing the DJI logo, and then crashing immediately. I had never had that problem before. I have tried to fix this problem by deleting and reinstalling the app, which did nothing. I eventually deleted the app, and put it out of my mind. Last year, I downloaded the app again, or so I thought, but it didn't look the same, nor did it work the same. It did show the camera feed from my Mavic, but in very low quality. I could not change flying modes, or many other things that the old app could. I was also shown some subscription service that didn't look right either. I'm 90% sure that that app was fake. I couldn't seem to find the original app on my app store, so I did some digging, and I eventually managed to find an apk for what looked like the original app. I installed it, and I'm 90% sure it was the old app, because it had the exact same problem as the old one. It immediately crashed when I tried to open it.
I just want my drone to work. Has DJI closed down the original DJI fly app, and I need to install some completely new app? Has DJI simply abandoned the original mini, and the only fix is to buy a newer drone? What can I do to get my drone to work?
