I flew my MP1 for over a year without this sort of incident occurring, but then it started happening with increasing regularity. In my case the dji controller never lost contact with the aircraft. In every case the phone screen device lost connection with the controller. Rebooting the phone...

Thanks chaps for your feedback. I agree that it is good to see the screen in sunlight, and its important that a tablet stays connected. It would be great if these two qualities were present in the one tablet. No iPads seem to have amoled screens. Samsung / Android seems to be under a cloud in...

I have not flown for nearly a year now, since I started having disconnect problems with my Galaxy S5 device. It was about this time that DJI removed the S5 from the compatible device list. I am now looking to get airborne again and considering an Apple device based on the consensus that Apple...

The popular claim is that these circular image artefacts are dust particles on the sensor. I am more inclined to think that it is dust particles, not on the sensor but on the surface of one of the lens’s elements, probably the rear one. A projected shadow finds its way onto the sensor and is...

When you say “app disconnect issue” could I trouble you to consider what happens in my case and see if it is exactly what you have experienced. I can be in the middle of a flight and spontaneously the screen on my phone freezes to a grey image or goes black. “Aircraft Disconnect” message...

What evidence is there that Superpatcher might be implicated in connection problems? I have been on the lookout for discussion on this topic but so far I have not seen any. My connection problem also started when I applied Superpatcher but it has remained with me even after returning to stock...

You seem to be getting multiple instances of the artefact that I started getting a couple of weeks ago. In my case I haven't used HDR, it's just a one shot unprocessed jpg.

I found that all versions of DUMLdore >= 3.00 failed in this upgrade path. Upgrade gets to 15% then skips to 100% and exits. I only succeeded when I used DUMLdore version 2.14.

I believe I have overcome the phone disconnect problem with many faultless flights under my belt. After unsatisfactory results trying to tinker with random settings I went all out in winding back all software to earlier or de-bloated releases as follows: AC: Firmware V01.03.0700 RC...

Yes that is what you would expect but in fact in the cases I am observing there is never a disconnect between the RC and AC in spite of the message “Aircraft disconnected”. The RC is still controlling the AC in every detail. When I reboot the phone that message usually reverts to “Disconnected”.

Yes Olav that is a good point to raise. I do believe that the increasing bloat that has been pushed out by Google and Samsung over the years had reached the point where it was compounding these problems. I did react to this by installing a custom version of Android on the phone with only...

Sorry, I meant to indicate that I am not talking about situations where the interconnecting cable or the usb port on the controller is faulty. Many cables, including new ones, and both USB ports have been tried.

I am very interested to learn whether anyone else has experienced disconnections between their remote control unit and their phone. I am not talking about situations where the interconnecting cable or the usb port on the controller is faulty. Neither am I talking about problems related to the...

Could someone please suggest a good choice for custom firmware for the Samsung Galaxy S5 which would be appropriate for flying a MP1 and nothing else? Something minimalist and stable would be the logical qualities. Rooting the phone would not be a concern. I am pretty sure that recent Play...

I have two Galaxy S5 phones and fly the Mavic Pro. One phone supports DJI Go 4 and the other supports Litchi. The limitation of the S5 is that you cannot have both DJI Go 4 and Litchi on the same phone at the same time. Can Dronelink co-exist with one of the other Apps or do I need a third S5?
