Hi
New here, new to drones too really.
Got a DJI mini 2 and it worked perfectly with my old Moto g8. Got a pixel 6 today and while I can do the usual on the phone screen when connected to RC the screen is black. Tried airplane mode, USB debugging but no luck. Is it because the phone is unsupported? Daft question really. It's running Android 12


Cheers for any response

Hello from the Crossroads of America Bilko57.

Sounds like you're connected, but not seeing the camera view?

Check your camera settings in the app.

Sometimes I'll shoot in MANUAL mode and forget to switch back to AUTO.

The previous setting may wash out the screen or darken it when I fly the next time.

Good luck and welcome to the Forum. 😎

Hi
Yeah that's exactly the problem I tried switching between auto and manual but made no difference. I can even take a photo use the phone so there is some communication between devices going on but no camera view.
Oddly when first connecting a not enough light to fly or words to that effect message pops up.

Thanks for the welcome

Dumped my Pixel4XL because it would never connect to the aircraft. Super happy with my new iPhone 13 pro max.

Sounds like something is covering the sensor / camera to get the low light warning or you're in a dark environment to begin with. I only get the low light warning when it's dark outside and I mean dark. Check the camera and see if you left the shipping cover on it / plastic film / etc.

Never had an issue with my Moto-G. Maybe the Pixel is not supported - go to DJI website and check that. Possibly a cable issue, but would think you'd not get the "low light warning" if bad.
