Your description is exactly like my phone right down to the age. I've noticed a couple of updates a year ago that caused the rapid drain problem that got better again after another update. I think Samsung's S7 fire issues have probably caused them to be more conservative regarding shutting down...

What days of the week is everyone available?

My guess is that it's more about the phone being at 100% when you start but we can try all combinations.

I was lucky that I didn't have a similar situation, I was flying at a friends house and as soon as I powered up their bull dog took a lunge at the Mavic, I was able to throttle up and get high enough to avoid capture but I can say I've never seen a bull dog jump as high as this one did... I'm...

Go to Google maps and search for Needle Rock Recreation area. It's just north of the Rio Verde community along the Verde River.

That's interesting and worth testing out. The phone is charging from the controllers battery when it's connected, if it's at 100% then it won't need to charge and charging does create quite a bit of heat. Thanks for the idea and I'll let you know what I find.

I've had some windy days at Saguaro as well but most of them have been flyable. The worst was flying near a cliff face when it was windy, the cliff caused lots of turbulence so I bailed on that shot and pulled it away from the face. I'll have to try that shot again on a more calm day.

It looks like this is about a half hour drive for me, it looks like an interesting place, I'm interested in joining you. What days/times are you available?

It's not the DJI app when it does the 1 hour drain, I force close it after every flight when I exit Airplane mode and turn my phone back into a phone. The lack of replies from other people with this problem tells me it's 90% probability that it's my phone. I've already started looking for a...

I'm going to pass on this fly-in, have you considered Saguaro Lake for a future destination? I'm not sure what the rules are but they can't be worried about the noise with Jet Skis running around and the views would be great. I'll keep watching your post and hopefully make a future get together.

This problem came on fast and only after an update of the DJI Go 4 app so I wanted to make sure it wasn't an app problem before I throw money at the situation and find that I didn't solve anything. Thanks for the input.

I've removed from the case and the battery is good for a solid day of use with around 30% typical when I put it on the charger at night. That said, I've had it get hot in my pocket and run the battery down in less than an hour, when I look at the battery usage it doesn't show any specific app...

I've started having trouble with a Samsung Galaxy S6 shutting down the DJI Go 4 app and telling me it's overheating, it won't let me restart the app for about a minute while it cools down. After restarting the app it appears to work for the rest of the flight but when I land the phone is very...

What area are you thinking about? I'm interested in joining the group if the drive isn't too bad.

I say we all start lobying to get AOPA and COPA to advocate for a centralized location for any and all drone laws. I stopped a ranger in Arizona to check on a location and the answer was "I think it's okay but I'm not really sure"... I live is Scottsdale and I have federal laws, state laws...
