Expected behaviour. The aircraft needs to see a connected smart device running the go app with a user logged in when it first starts. Once it has seen it, the limits are removed and you can disconnect the smart device and fly with only goggles if you wish.

If you are in a CE region the odds are your S5 is not using the channels that the Mavic is operating on. It is a known issue for Android devices in Europe.

You assume everyone needs 'missions, waypoints etc' :) If you do, then of course you will want a 3rd party app, not everyone does though.

A long way from the exception I'd say. It depends on what you do with the aircraft, I have little use for any of the 3rd party apps either.

That feature is not there yet I believe, but it should be enabled before the DJI Mavic mount for CS is released...
