It's just another app you can use to fly as an alternative to Go. In general I prefer it, as it's less hungry than Go, and it has full autonomous flight with waypoints etc. Nothing much wrong with Go though.

Also can confirm, my Google Pixel XL has a different problem every flight (provided I can even connect to the aircraft in the first place) using DJI GO 4. Have not tried any other control software, but sounds like I should.

+1

The app crashes on my Pixel XL every single flight. Absolute garbage application, they should be embarrassed as a company.

It's just a uk based operator called GiffGaff, which is really 02. Not sure what the US equivalent is. Seems v odd that the phone 'won't accept' the carrier - never heard of that!
Edit: Just thought, is it used? If it is it might be locked to one specific carrier

no its just the company sprint being jerks. they wont accept "older phones or phones they dont sale" but other carriers did so ima switch. hows the battery life on yours im currently doing a battery calibration.

If Android is running well for you - no crashes or loss of video in, say, 10 flights - please post your manufacturer and model info here. Thanks.

Samsung S7, plus go into battery settings to disable power saving for DJI GO4, so the OS doesn't swap it out while in use. Resolved any issues I had with Droid.

Battery life is superb - longer than my iPhone 6s by a mile.

I have connection issues on my Galaxy S8+ but perfect connection on my iPhone 6S Plus. So naturally fly with the iPhone until the Galaxy is sorted.

Sam Note 4 has been great : I also rooted it ... but recently for unknown reason .. the video feed on Litchi and some on DJI go 4 get scrambled ... the mp4 file is the usual great 4k stuff. But I like seeing where I'm flying and where I am there are some nice things to see.

If anyone knows about pix scrambation (just made that up) I would appreciate it. Is it my phone? Set up?. I just up graded the drone firmware only read that some wished that had not... what to do.

I can't get litchi to work with my galaxy S6 active. I downgraded litchi to Version 3.10.10 as litchi suggested but now I get DISCONNECTED error and the mission will not execute. But I can see the image on my phone if I expand the +. Any thoughts?

Yep. You can find some commonly used Huawei mobile devices here.

I got it to work for a waypoint mission so it must be ok.

Litchi is scrambling my video feed whether recording or not... I down graded the go app and the hardware and the dji go app does not scramble the video feed.
