Greetings,

I recently purchased a Mavic Mini, and a phone to use for the app. However, turns out that the DJI Fly app needs a 64 bit kernel, and this phone (Redmi 7A) has a 32 bit kernel (even though the phone has 64 bit architecture). Therefore, I tried installing some 3rd party apps such as Rainbow, Maven, and FlyGo Drone Controller.

Originally, when I plugged my phone into the remote and opened the app, I was able to see the camera view from the app (Maven and FlyGo always worked, with Rainbow it did not always recognize the remote). However, the drone was unable to fly due to an IMU error.

Now that error has sorted itself out, but I have a new problem - none of the apps are recognizing the remote when it is plugged into my phone. I didn't do anything between when it was working and then stopped working.

I know the cables and ports all work, my phone is on Airplane mode, and USB debugging is enabled. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be, and how to solve it?

Thanks!

Update: I just noticed that in some apps it shows the drone's battery level (and I believe it is accurate), but that's it. No video feed, no other info.
