I just wanted to update the group. I purchased a used Samsung Note 3 w/ Android 5.1 from Craigslist and everything now works perfectly. To save anyone from scrolling up, I was using an Alcatel Idol 3 with android 6.x.x. For what it's worth, the Note 3 is a very nice device. I paid $100 (prev...

Update: After more and careful but unsuccesful attempts, I chatted with DJI. They are "confident that it will work if I switch to a factory recommended phone". I knew this was a possibility but thought my odds we pretty good that my Idol 3 One Touch would work. I can just get an unlocked phone...

4wd, thank you for taking a few minutes to reply. Yes, DJI Go4 installed and DJI account active. Based on the 3 replies, my plan is to make sure I have a good data cable and try again with my existing firmware and software versions. If that does not work I think I will factory-default both the...

Cactus Jack, firstly, gotta love that avatar! I don't know if that is your watchdog, but as a chihuahua owner and I'm well aware of that side of them (although I have not seen that level of asswholeiness from mine). Thanks for the help. My a/c does go through the gimbal communication as well...

Thanks for the reply. No, I have not been able to pull up the camera view. re: cables, they are suspect and I will rule out this possible cause during my next attempts. Also, I like your instruction to make sure I don't have a cable plugged in and not connected. Really appreciate the comments.

I usually am able to work through these things but I'm very confused with this setup and seem to be relegated to "spitball troubleshooting". Any comments or suggestions would be helpful. Firstly, this is my first DJI product. Maybe that might be helpful to some of you kind souls. I've read the...

Wiping your phone or getting another doesn't seem like much of a solution. I'm not trying to be a jerk - just frustrated beyond my limit by trying, without success, to solve the same type of problem. For what it's worth, my phone is an Idol 3. DJIGo 3.1 thinks that I have a DJI Inspire but won't...

Thanks for the link to the USA supplier, TBird. My Mavic has not arrived but I want to add a strobe as my first mod. Ideally it would be remotely switchable as to not cause photographic artifacts but I'm new to the hobby as well as this forum and have not researched the feasibility. However, an...

Greetings to all. My Mavic just left mainland China and is due to arrive in a week. This will be my first time piloting a complex UAV/UAS and I plan to ease into it. I'm pretty sure that crashes are inevitable but I hope to keep them few and minor by taking small steps. I do have one question...
