I own and use three as dedicated devices (Spark, MP and Inspire 1 V2). All have performed flawlessly, even though I'm replacing two with a full-size CrystalSky. No they're not for sale. Ebay has several - used around 50, new around 75-80.

Actually all true.... I'll never activate one with cell service......

Mostly true. I own three of these phones (dedicated for Spark, MP and Inspire 1 V2 / Osmo white X3, cleaned out, Go 4.1.1.5, offline maps, airplane mode, etc.) and would love to root the things and d/c the USB charging from the RC. Yeah, I'm a control freak, and I want to dictate when and where...

I learned on this. 40 bucks, good range, and ****-near indestructible. It survived 2 major crashes (25 foot fall onto grass. Hit garage and fell 12 feet onto concrete driveway - it's the Timex of toy drones). Fun to fly and outstanding stress-free learning tool. I lose more $$$ in an hour at...

With all due respect Sir, I beg to differ. I own three of these phones (thanks to XDP's timely genius) for dedicated use (Spark, Mavic Pro, and shared-use Inspire 1 V2.0 / Osmo white X3). While XDP and others may embrace the RC's charging of the phone, I despise it. Rooting the phone (once the...

Thank you!

XDP, do you use the micro USB port on the side to charge, ot the full-size USB port on the bottom ? Thanks!

So, has anyone unlocked this scientific wonder? My wife wants to know.....

OTG cable is used between the mobile device and SPARK controller - not applicable for the Mavic. I own both and bought two of these phones as dedicated mobile devices for each, thus the mention. USB On-The-Go, often abbreviated to USB OTG or just OTG, is a specification first used in late 2001...

OK, I'm trying to wrap around this as a positive. XDP, what RC connection and cable are you using for the phone? I'm definitely open to the idea of keeping the MP and Spark RC's stored assembled and ready to rock. The wife's Wunderphone still hasn't shipped from WM.com :( MP and Spark are...

Works well with OTG cable. Must make connection to bottom of RC dead last in chain to be recognized. And, like the MP, the RC charges the phone (Dammit). I know this thread says (several times) that the RC battery drain is minimal, but I sure wish that wasn't an issue.

Can anyone offer instructions on how to root the phone and use this app to disable USB charging Disable Battery Charging ROOT - Android Apps on Google Play

My humble apologies to XDP. He did explain it all in post #90. I just missed it (even though I didn't "skim"). Phone #1 is done. Map files are loaded, 4.1.15 is loaded and running, PolarPro filter app is loaded, all garbage apps are deleted or disabled, and I'm ready to fly. Phones 2 and 3...

Yes, I've read the entire thread, copied and pasted notes as I've purchased two of these phones, and nowhere did it say to load the newer version first. Sorry, but Clairvoyant is not my middle name and I didn't step on a freakin rake. I was going to sing your praises Dude, until you became a...

OK guys NEED HELP please. Just bought the **** phone. I loaded 4.1.15 apk from newly-formatted SD card. Load from unknown sources checked. I start the DJI Go 4 app and it gives me an error message "failed to load resource file". App does nothing. I'm connected to WiFi and no joy. ANY IDEAS?
