UPDATE: As far as the pixel 2XL on Android Pie goes I'm almost sure it has something to do with the USB port or cable because the DJI small cable does connect to the Remote. The cable I used to connect the USB port to phone is a Google USB to C which should transfer data (but it does not) So to be sure I will purchase another cable to see if that is where the problem is. I know the USB port on the remote works with my tablet, so that may indicate or point to something in the Pixel Android Pie update. I have the USB debugging set to on (tried off also) with no difference. If anyone has any suggestions, please reply
P.S. the new update for Android 4.3.0 runs fine on the pixel 2 XL so far. The update just adds the new product line as far as I can tell.
