Mavic pro question

[Droning on and on...]

Yes

For samsung phone i use usb c to usb

There's a possibility the RC, which was designed before USB C, doesn't connect properly that way. I dint know this, hopefully someone here can clear this up but the older Mavic Pro RC may only be able to make the right electrical connection with anything but a micro USB phone, or lightning connector iPhone.

USB C is not universally backwards compatible with older micro USB connections for data.

Sure. I'm using the older 4.3.54 version of DJI GO 4 - downloaded from the link below. Fully featured flight app. Original source code. No problems with it (over 2 years constant use). In the search bar, you can also find older versions of the DJI FLY app archived. Good source for older version Android apps.

If you are using the rear USB type A socket, you can use your standard charging/data cable delivered with your phone or tablet and it should work. I sold my old Mavic Pro just some weeks ago and never had any problems with using newer phones and tablets.

Which most definitely is NOT USB C. It's micro USB.

My Mavic Pro always was up to date with firmware versions. I also used the latest version of GO4 app.
I used various phones with the Mavic since end of 2016, beginning with a Nexus 6, a Sony Xperia X1, Samsung Galaxy S8, Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Honor Magic 5 Pro. Also a Galaxy Tab S2. No problems ever.

I talked from the REAR USB port, not the left side one!

If I understand this problem, you have tried multiple cables and multiple phones and still cannot get phone connected to the RC. Maybe something wrong with your RC. Are you the original owner? Have you EVER been able to connect phone to RC successfully, or is this a new issue....

Yeah, I got that, being a bit sloppy.

The USB A port may not connect properly to a USB C port on the other end with an A–>C cable. When the Mavic Pro was released, phones were micro and lightning.

There are countless examples of older technology failing to connect data between a USB A host and a newer USB C port. Sometimes even power fails, and a USB C device fails to charge or accept power at all from an older 5V USB supply that doesn't get the pull-down resistance right.

That's why you need to 1) test with an older micro USB phone or tablet, connected to the A port, to verify it works; 2) try some different USB C cables to see if that makes any difference.

The Mavic Pro was released 8 years ago. The USB C standard has been quite a moving target in that time span. It didn't start to be widely adopted in phones and tablets until 2019 or so, 3-4 years after the Mavic Pro RC was designed.

It connected flawlessly every time I've tried. And I always just just the original charging/data cable of my mobile device. E.g. I sometimes used Litchi with its special cardboard mode and cardboard-type goggles connected on that port.

I still use 01.04.0000, I never upgraded. When I did use DJI software (now I use Litchi), it was DJI GO4 App 4.1.15...I had no problems.

Did you end up getting a new RC remote? I'm having the same exact problem as you using a Samsung s22 ultra, tried all the same stuff as you.
