The following observations are 1) not complaints, and 2) are with phone + RC using OTG. I have never flown with just the phone as a remote.
Given that my primary phone is in a large case that is too large to fit into the RC holder (yes I've bought the external holder, but it doesn't fit in my carrying case with all my other crud), I bought a cheap low end phone to use specifically and only for the spark. It's not a powerful phone. I have observed that while the application will show video, the more advanced features (quickshot modes, active track, etc) do not function on this phone. It simply does not react to the touch commands. I suspect that the phone is under-powered and does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for the DJI GO 4 app. I bet it's in the instructions (RTFM).
Last observation: When I have used my primary phone, and when it was hot, the application again would mis-behave. This has only happened a few times, my phone does not cronically over-heat. But when it has happened, the app would pause, stall, crash, etc. I'm convinced that this is not a DJI GO 4 app problem, as any application on any phone running too hot will misbehave.
The reason I think these observations are important is because new pilots (myself included) can panic or react incorreclty to such events. If you are just starting out, help yourself by starting out in optimal situations and optimal conditions.
