Maybe I'm spoiled with a number of Mavic's and my Inspire 2 with X5S with some lenses but I'm getting really annoyed with the Spark.
Not with the drone itself but more with DJI policies and with the weird behavior of GO4.
Today I was trying to make a screenshot movie of the restrictions of Hangar Autopilot and the Spark went bezirk. Totally out of control.
After talking to Hangar, they informed me that Autopilot only works in WiFi mode. I get an RC error when using a OTG cable but can't do much with a drone that only goes 30 meters up and 100 meters far. Useless....
But when I connect the cable again, I should go to my normal altitude again.
So.... set the max altitude to 500m but it doesn't hold that. Also, I set the two buttons (specially C1) to a standard setting for me. But it doesn't hold.
Now I found out that if I connect WiFi, set my altitude to 500m and then connect the cable, it holds so I can fly over our crane here.
I've just rest in the fact that I can't use Autopilot by I'm getting seriously pissed now.
Never had that with my other DJI drones.
Will do the rest of my screen movie and post that.
Ps, this ridicules behavior happens with my iPad Pro 9.7 and with my iPhone 6S Plus.
Can't blame Hangar. They work perfectly with my Mavic's and Inspire.
It's just this stupid Spark software
 
Makes no sense. There is no "30 meters up and 100 meters far" when you're in WiFi between the phone and RC, only when between phone and Spark without RC.

You should be able to run WiFi between phone and RC, have full functionality and almost as good performance as with OTG.
OTG isn't supported officially, and that's why your C1 settings don't hold and some functionality is missing.
