Samsung Tablet won't connect...

[Wolverine2020]

New Samsung T290. Finally got the right connectors today. Tried to boot up the drone but got message saying device not connected to drone. Won't go past the screen giving the instructions to connect the sticks and the devices. I've download Assistant 2 and done the updates for the radio and the drone on my pc.
Any ideas?
thanks

"Enable Unknown Sources" enabled? "Enable Developer Mode" enabled?

I have looked but can't find that in the menus. Would it be under settings? That's where I'm looking.

Would it be under settings?

Yes, under tablet settings. There are pics in the guide that I have linked. Just go through it and compare the settings in the guide to what you have.

to enable developer mode in android you have to tap the software version section in the about screen until it tells you it's been enabled.

I did everything on the video twice to make sure I didn't miss anything. Same result. The tablet doesn't seem to be able to communicate with the drone. Very frustrating.

sounds like it's more likely a cable issue. That Tab is very popular with drone users. what did you buy for "connectors"? Lot's(most actually) of cables and connectors are actually garbage. I have some that charge but won't send data, some that do both but won't work in ADB mode. Some just do slow charge and nothing else.

Developer options - USB Debugging on.

Sorry the link is for DJI GO, you are installing the DJI Fly APP yes?

Developer options - USB Debugging on.
Developer Option - USB configuration (try MTP or RNDIS)

The only options on usb config are transferring files, MIDi transferring images, and charging tablet only.

If your getting absolutely nothing( no charging indicator or any indication that something has been plugged into the tablet) when you plug it in then it probably is the cable like gottahavit said.

go flt yes.

go fly

This is the cable I'm using. Just came today. Micro USB to Type C 1FT DJI Spark Remote Controller OTG Cable for Mavic Pro Longer Line 2 Pack 90 Degree Tablet Data Cable Right Angle Connector Cord

I had ongoing issues connecting my Samsung tablet to the Go 4 app when using it with my P4P -- seems that DJI just isn't interested in testing the connections with anything other than Apple products.

when you plug it in does your tablet say it's charging from the controller?

 

[pgenneken]

I can confirm that that cable does not work... lol I just bought it and returned it myself.. got no indication at all when it was plugged into my samsung tablet.

 

[gottahavit]

that's probably because it's designed to go from microusb to usb-c, not the other way around.

Who is going to know all that? I just want to fly my new drone that I've been trying to fly for the last week.
Ok now that I know it's the wrong cable (or at least it won't work in this case) can someone point me to the right one? This is getting very frustrating!
thanks in advance
