Galaxy Tab A SMT-515 & DJI Fly compatibility problem.

Simond101 · Oct 4, 2020

I am having a problem getting DJI fly app to work with my tablet it just won't install. Matter a fact it doesn't even show up as an app to download in the Play Store, I also went to DJI and downloaded it there and it won't install on my tablet. Is there something I'm missing? Is there something I can do different?

What does it say when you try to install it?

DJI Fly needs a 64 bit build of Android. It's likely that your tablet is only 32 bit and thus won't be able to run DJI Fly.

If you can't find the app in the play store or you can't side load the apk then it's not compatible with the fly app. It'll tell you when you try to side load it that it's not compatible.

I believe the SMT-515 has a 64bit cpu but a 32bit operating system, that's why it won't run DJI Fly

"App not installed "

I was hoping there was a workaround

Hard to find a cheap android tablet that works well with the DJI Fly app.

So far my Asus Zenpad Z8s ZT582KL (Verizon version) works perfectly fine.

Wish I would have known that before I bought an ipad mini 5

Hi...sorry to jump in and ask - is that the same for the Samsung Galaxy S8.4 tablet. App installs but cannot connect to controller even after using a USB3 cable?.....cheers

Does the app open up but without a video feed or does it just crash ?

Have you tried the center usb port on the bottom of the controller ?

Have you tried another cable ?

Just out of interest does the remote controller charge ?
