    MA Won't Detect My Phone (Android)

    Yep, nothing worked. It was something up with the phone's hardware, would need to have had the whole USB socket replaced.

    MA Won't Detect My Phone (Android)

    Thought I should update this one. So turns out the issue was with the phone. The USB-C port stopped reading peripheral devices for some reason, and would only be able to charge rather than do any kind of file transfers etc. New Huawei Mate 20 Pro works a dream, have sold the Amazon tablet...

    MA Won't Detect My Phone (Android)

    Picked up an Amazon Fire HD 8 yesterday for £50, works great. Will keep using this as a temporary solution until either DJI fix whatever's preventing my phone from working or I upgrade my phone in the next couple of months. The HD 8 fits in the standard MA controller which is handy. (Just).

    Lg G6 connection trouble

    It's affecting a ton of Android users, me included. Can't get it to work at all now on my HTC after 3 months of flawless connections.

    MA Won't Detect My Phone (Android)

    In theory yes, but given it worked so well, 100% of the time for 3 months, I'm struggling to see how it can change overnight. And john lewis' returns policy is pretty good so don't think I'll struggle to get a brand new drone out of it to at least try. then if that's no use it's phone shopping...

    MA Won't Detect My Phone (Android)

    Updated firmware on the drone, couldn't do it for the RC, looks like there's only ever been one firmware for the RC (?). Tried the USB slot in the back of the RC as well as the side, same issue. Tried USB debugging mode, didn't help. Got a new cable arriving today, will see if that does...

    MA Won't Detect My Phone (Android)

    ha probably. interestingly found a lot of threads here and elsewhere about the exact same problem, but on iOS not android. Going to try a load of stuff tonight with firmware and new cables, see if that works.

    MA Won't Detect My Phone (Android)

    Have done all the above. Phone's pretty new too, with no issues connecting via usb to a PC and moving files, charging or using the micro SD reader I have for RAW pics from the Mavic Air. Below are screens of the issue, if that helps. (RC is connected and turned on in both). Have also tried the...

    MA Won't Detect My Phone (Android)

    So had my MA for 3 months, worked pretty much like a dream. Had some issues connecting via WiFi but not an issue as always use with the Remote. Anyway, today got it out on a bike ride, not used for a couple of weeks and it just would not connect. When I plug the cable in from the RC I get a...

    Transfer DNG RAW Files to Phone Without a PC?

    I know the standard setting is that you can only transfer JPEG from Drone > Phone. However, I'm off travelling for a couple of months and can't carry a laptop with me, is there any other way to get the RAW files from my Mavic Air to my (android) phone so I can edit and save them on the move?

    Taking off from steep hill

    Just take off from your hand. Dead easy to do, just make sure whole hand is on underside of drone and fingers aren't up near where the blades are.

    Why did you choose Air over Pro?

    I can fit the air in my cycling jersey pocket, not even a conversation to be had on that basis.
