    Charge up those batteries, Pixel 6 owners - DJI Fly app works again

    I saw a few posts on Pixel 6's not working with DJI fly so instead of burying this news in another thread, I thought I'd put it here. DJI Fly app now works with Pixel 6 (the article says "6"; I have a 6 Pro and it does work now) Run the app, you should get a pop-up to update due to "bugs." No...

    Grounded! Pixel 6/6 Pro incompatible with Fly app - Black screen

    Ah! I looked in that folder and neighboring folders under dji.go.v5. All I found was a bunch of empty folders. DJI asked me for something in that area too and I couldn't find anything but an empty folder.

    Do you mean the low res files it keeps to display on your phone? I want to say they are .LRF files.

    Grounded! Pixel 6/6 Pro incompatible with Fly app - Black screen

    I tried switching between smooth and HD. It did nothing. However, here's an interesting twist. I accidentally took a couple of pictures rather than shooting some test video. When I went to watch the video back (low-res previews), I found the picture I took and it appeared normal. The videos...

    Grounded! Pixel 6/6 Pro incompatible with Fly app - Black screen

    I just wanted to tell you guys that the Pixel 6 is an excellent phone for Android users. I have the Pixel 6 Pro and am completely happy with it (now that I've learned the fingerprint sensor). If there is a way you can fly using an old phone or can wait a bit for DJI to fix this, you will be...

    Update: 11/23/2021 Twitter response from DJI: Sorry for the belated response. Thanks for the information provided. We'll make sure to relay this to the team for their recommendations. Surely, we'll let you know once an update becomes available. Thank you again for your cooperation and...

    Grounded! Pixel 6/6 Pro incompatible with Fly app - Black screen

    Thanks for the ideas. I'll try those soon when I take out the drone again. I have an Air 2S. A couple of days ago, DJI responded to a tweet I sent them. They said they are aware of the issue and asked me to send logs and confirm I am on v1.5.1 of the Fly app. They also wanted a screen...

    Grounded! Pixel 6/6 Pro incompatible with Fly app - Black screen

    If it's chipset, that might be bad. The Pixel 6 uses a brand new, Google inspired chip called Tensor. Only the Pixel 6s have it. Probably not enough users to get DJI's attention.

    Grounded! Pixel 6/6 Pro incompatible with Fly app - Black screen

    UPDATE - 11/18/21 I have been routinely checking the DJI downloads page for an update. It's been sitting at 1.5.0. Today, I decided to try running the DJI Fly app. There was an update to 1.5.1. There was also a firmware update to 02.04.2110 (I think that's right). I updated both. Still black...

    Anything to be concerned about when buying a used smart controller?

    Thanks guys! Yes, I saw that it is being (or is) discontinued. Now the hard part is finding a deal. I think my local DJI shop has them in stock new. So expensive. Hmm.

    Anything to be concerned about when buying a used smart controller?

    The title kind of says it all. I have been looking for a cheaper, used smart controller. One came up for sale today but I missed it. Is there anything I should look out for when buying a SC used? I've never used one. Thanks!

    Grounded! Pixel 6/6 Pro incompatible with Fly app - Black screen

    The app is at 1.5.0 for both now. You can get it here: https://www.dji.com/downloads/djiapp/dji-fly Interesting, all of the Pixels have been removed from the phones they say it works with. I could swear it used to have the 3 and 3XL listed there a couple of days ago. I have a 4th axis rig...

    Grounded! Pixel 6/6 Pro incompatible with Fly app - Black screen

    There was an update to the Fly app today (1.5.0) but the problem persists. I know they will fix it but it's a matter of how long until they do. DJI Mimo also doesn't work (Pocket 2). If I had known, I would have kept my old phone longer.

    I didn't know the Smart Controller needed DJI Fly. Doesn't it have its own software? Isn't it a standalone product?

    Grounded! Pixel 6/6 Pro incompatible with Fly app - Black screen

    Well, I just discovered some unfortunate news. The current DJI Fly app is not compatible with the new Google Pixel 6 Pro (and 6). I spent 15 minutes out at the park trying to figure out why my screen was black - no video feed. Then I came home and tried again. Then I tried with a different phone...
