DJI Fly App Glitch with Drone Orientation Icon

[starhopper]

I flew my Mavic Mini for the first time today - however, it's not my first Mavic. I have a Mavic Pro and a Spark, so I am very familiar with DJI apps. When flying, the "Aircraft Orientation" icon on DJI Fly slowly blinks red and states "No GPS connection". However, the GPS icon in the top right of the app shows 12 satellites. I was able to fly more than 6000ft distance, at a height of 300 ft, and RTH worked great - so I KNOW I have GPS! So, why then, is the "Aircraft Orientation" Icon blinking red and showing no GPS connection? I have the latest firmware updates.

Go to settings and allow dji fly to use your location

Where do you find this in settings? Having same problem.

For iOS it’s under privacy - location services - DJI fly

Note that the orientation indicator needs your remote's coordinates and heading as much as the AC's. The RC location is provided by the mobile device.

Can you be more specific? I can't find locations services or privacy on my iOS app. Duh.

 

[Bill Weaver]

Never mind, got it. I was looking in the app, not in the iPhone preferences

In iOS, not the app.

Android settings would also have app permissions. That's usually asked for on install or launch though.

I thought it was best to turn off phone data while flying . Is it best to keep this on then ?

 

[DanMan32]

GPS is passive. I don't know if location services reads Wi-Fi passively or cuts it completely.

If your phone is in airplane mode you still have GPS location services

Sorry to jump in on an old discussion, but this is happening to me with my Mavic Air 2, and I checked my iOS permissions, it was set to use location “While using the app.” Should I change it to “Always”?

EDIT: Got to herefrom Google, and didn’t realize this was the Mini group... I apologize...

My orientation icon does not display at all and all settings are to allow on both my iPhone and within the fly app. Any thoughts? Same situation as @kenjancef I have an MA2 and didn’t realize this was a mini discussion sorry!!
