United Kingdom,
I spent 4 hours last night and another 6+ hours today, my head feels like it's exploding and I am at the end of my line, does anyone know what I am doing wrong, the only thing I can think of is that DJI is blocking the signal as I live in central London?
The phone is connected to the mini USB but still, Nada and the drone is also on, but they don't seem to want to connect/communicate.

Any help/pointers much appreciated.

You may have to re link the drone and controller...watch this short video...I hope it helps

I did log into my account but it made no difference. I'm still getting the same errors.
If it helps my phone is a Samsung S22 Ultra, which according to DJI, is compatible and I used it last year in Italy without problems.

The communication path from the drone to the mobile device go ... Drone <--> RC <--> Mobile device.

The message on your last pic. says 1744497714896.png (RC not connected to mobile device)

This likely means that the connection works Drone <--> RC... but fails RC <--> Mobile device

Have you tried another usb cable..? Cleaned out the usb connection on the mobile..? Have you tried with another mobile device..?

Concur. Replace the USB2 data cable that links your phone to the RC-N1. Make sure it's a two-way OTG cable... some of them only funnel data one way... I know this because this is something that tripped me up during the first few days of ownership (the problem I was scratching my head over was very similar to yours).

If you look very carefully, the standard DJI cable in the antenna rebate is marked on one connection and blank on the other. The mark is a very indistinct controller icon and only this end of the OTG is plugged into the controller USB2 port.... the blank end connects to your phone. For some reason, I'd removed the cable completely and managed to put it back the wrong way round.IMG_20250413_074655_227~2.jpg
