iPhone drain?

[MikeyST1957]

I’ve noticed flying my mini2 drains my iPhone battery real fast.
a friend told me, he read somewhere...
That since the iPhone is plugged into the min2 RC, he believes the iPhone is recharging the rc controller while you fly

Draining the iPhone battery
I guess it makes sense. Anyone experience this and have a solution?

I thought that it was the other way around..Your RC charges the phone..At least that is how it works with my Android when i use it

I think you’re right. I just wonder if something is set wrong on my rc or my phone

Ok I just read this.... going to go out and try
Apparently in the Gofly app
Press 3 dots upper right corner of screen
Press “control”
Scroll down there should be a “phone charging” icon that is off by default

turning this on should enable the RC to charge the phone

Ok. It’s all there like I posted above
Phone charging toggle
BUT.... it won’t let me swipe to turn it on

Any ideas??

The aircraft and controller have to be connected and turned on.

 

[MikeyST1957]

Yeah they all are.
cansee the toggle in the menu
It works swipe

I have never heard of an iPhone being able to charge anything, it s usually the other way around. Mine doesn’t drain while flying. When is the last time you turned off and restarted the phone ?

For an iPhone, you have to do this EVERYTIME you connect to the controller.

I know, it just doesn’t work on mine. I’ll try reloading the app

It is not an IPhone problem! It was a Dji Fly 1.3.1 problem, overcharging the phone processor! After fly ou use the app, try to kill It.
