    Skip to FCC mode

    Thanks for your reply. Good news everyone - I got it sorted. :D The issue is that the DJI GO 4 app version 4.3.46 (android 12) doesn't allow this hack anymore. By the way, version 4.3.46 is only available from the DJI website. The previous version 4.3.37 is downloadable from google play...

    Skip to FCC mode

    I came back here as I have the same issue. I put my Mavic Air into FCC mode years ago and just ignored requests to adjust WLAN settings each time I start. However, I chose ok to reset WLAN settings by mistake this week. The steps above (which did work for me in the past -) no longer work. I...

    FCC mode in CE area

    I might try it later if nobody confirms first. I can't imagine it's changed.

    FCC mode in CE area

    Android question. Can anyone confirm if the FCC mode (wlan settings pop up cancel option when in CE country) still works on 4.2.14. I'm on 4.2.12 and all is fine. Thanks guys

    Google Pixel 2 Compatibility?

    I'm using the pixel 2 with the Mavic air for several months. Zero issues. Not so much as a flicker on the screen or a single crash. I remember reading that the XL had issues though.

    quick question on RTH

    Thanks for the feedback here guys. @msinger that is exactly the behaviour I had observed. The explanation from the manual is very clear. thanks for highlighting it. Many thanks. Thumbswayup

    quick question on RTH

    My MA lost signal at 1km. It then hovered, then started to fly away. I realized quick enough it was retracing its route home. No problem. This is what failsafe RTH does. If I initiate RTH while signal is strong, it just flies straight back, line of sight. correct? And finally, in a failsafe...

    FCC mode in CE area

    If you don't allow the app to sign in and check firmware at start up, it will limit you to 30m altitude I believe. You can go into airplane mode after that check and before you fly.

    FCC mode in CE area

    In a blind panic I just checked this out. Looks like it's just iOS app so far. 4.2.8 android app still works fine. Cancel option still displays and can be chosen, and 11 wifi channels confirmed. Is there some technical reason that precludes them from implementing this region lockdown update in...

    Dalkey Island, Dublin, Ireland

    That's the furthest I've been (1550m) so far. no issue with video or control at all and still excellent signal strength out that far. Obviously not much wifi interference in between the drone and me as the flight was over water and an uninhabited island.
