    Mavic Mini RC Affecting Compass on Samsung Phone

    hmmm to answer your comment "Because DJI's help people know about as much about the issue as you do" You are right that the DJI help people have limited knowledge of the problem which is obvious in the correspondence I have had with them however I have worked for over 25 years in the cellular...

    Mavic Mini RC Affecting Compass on Samsung Phone

    Mavic Mini RC Affecting Compass on Samsung Phone

    I have seen some recent IOS phones also have the same problem and they are also on the DJI compatible list. My gut feeling is DJI tested these phones on the bench with a long cable rather than test the phones in the RC. Which probably explains why they told me today to buy another phone from the...

    Mavic Mini RC Affecting Compass on Samsung Phone

    I am having the same problem and using a Honor 8x which is on the compatibility list from DJI, I have also tried a Xiaomi Mi Mix which also seems compatible however the aircraft orientation is always wrong on both phones. Most of the time the aircraft is shown behind me pointing in the wrong...
