I've tried multiple cords. Dji assistant and numerous how to videos but for some reason my controller only links up when it wants to. Please help me before I toss this 1200 dollar setup into the trash!
 
May be a bad controller. I’ll pay shipping to my trash can address.
If it’s still under warranty, send it back. If not, plenty of controllers out there.
 
Any suggestions for other remotes? Just destroyed this one.....
hope you're kidding
I would bet your problem is using a model Iphone that is not compatible. That was my problem when I moved up from the Spark. It would hook up rarely but never for long.
I'm sure you'll get it all going properly soon.
 
Post a wanted ad in the classified section or look on the fleebay
 
Not an iphone. Regular type C Samsung note 10. And sadly no I wasn't joking. Short fuse.

Was the micro usb connector in the RC snug or way there some play in the mounting
 
Check for lint in the port on the phone. Clean it really well.

Just to have it asked ...

Regarding the RC micro usb connector, have you always (connected phone to RC or charged the RC) with the micro usb turned in the right direction?
With the funky squarish micro usb connector DJI uses in the RC it's possible to attach the cable up side down ... & by that damage the RC connector side,
possibly generating connection issues further on.

Have you tested the usb-A connector?
