    Drone recovered from lake will it still work

    I've read it somewhere that WD-40 was actually created for water displacement originally (hence the name "WD") and it was th 40th compound in the experiments that worked...

    New Mavic Mini Software with unlocking Geo Zones v1.0.4 out!

    Are you sure both the Mini's firmware AND the DJI Fly app are updated to the new version? I also live within a blue zone, but the unlocking worked for me. If I remember correctly, after connecting the Mini with the remote via the app, I pressed "GO FLY". When a screen came up with the...

    New Mavic Mini Software with unlocking Geo Zones v1.0.4 out!

    You can download the app update from the dji store. (It will still show .003, but it's actually .004when you download it).

    New MM - Which Serial Number to Use When?

    When it is asking for the FC serial number in the Fly app, it is actually shown in the left hand side little window, so you don't even have to choose from the different serial numbers on the right side. It practically tells you which code to enter.

    DJI Fly not working with Samsung exynos phones on android 10. Note 10 and s10any more

    I have just posted a reply to this on the DJI forum. In short: my Galaxy S8 works perfectly, so it may be too broad characterization that Samsung phones don't work. Have you tried rebooting your phone? What model is it. Is it included in the recommended phones list from DJI? I hope it get...

    RTH on Mavic Mini not Working

    I think the drone should be at least 20 meters/70 feet from the home point for RTH to work.

    Possible bird or drone strike on an airline.

    Don't worry, DJI is probably working on installing NFZ's for birds, too...

    Launch without phone app

    I agree. Although, when mine refused to start up after a while it has good GPS reception (flashing green status light) so it was certainly the overheating issue. (I was playing with it too long without actually flying it).

    New firmware coming soon?

    I would not hold my breath for that... That roaring silence from DJI is not too reassuring. I think they were just trying to buy some time and silence the whiners when they said "the end of December". Nobody heard anything about it since they took down a post about "December 30". I have become...

    Launch without phone app

    WooZie, it happened to me, too. Then if I turned off the Mini and waited a few minutes before try again, the MM started up normally. I am quite sure the reason for the intermittent no response problem is that when you turn on the Mini and let it sit around for a while, its processor gets...

    Update - Firmware Release - [OP: Mavic Mini DOES NOT support unlock in no fly zones yet!]

    I am in the same boat Redmann. Clear from any Transport Canada restrictions but the DJI app does not let me fly with the app even in my own home. (Although I was able to try it with just the remote without the app, but that is way far from the real thing.)

    Update - Firmware Release - [OP: Mavic Mini DOES NOT support unlock in no fly zones yet!]

    robert2, well, I am one of the unfortunate ones who DID NOT know what I was going to get when I ordered the Mini as there was no information about the forced NFZ "feature", even though I tried to research things beforehand. Besides, this is my very first and only drone since I am one of the...

    Update - Firmware Release - [OP: Mavic Mini DOES NOT support unlock in no fly zones yet!]

    Your reasoning does make sense, of course. But I have a question for you: Do you also have a semi-dead Mavic Mini sitting at home just because you live in a "No Fly Zone" forced on you by DJI (just like many of us who do)?

    Update - Firmware Release - [OP: Mavic Mini DOES NOT support unlock in no fly zones yet!]

    Not that DJI has been doing anything about the many firmware update complaints - other than sending out the same canned messages and vague empty promises to everyone... They really dropped the ball on that one for sure... (Or they just don't want to admit that they have towait with the release...
