Hello all!

I looked up the DJI mavic "RECOMMENDED" compatilbility and saw the Nexus 6p phone is not listed; however, it said they will continue to expand on Android phones. I was wondering if anyone got hold of the Mavic and is using it with the Nexus 6p? Do you guys think the DJI will make it compatible with the Mavic?

Thanks! Happy shooting!

I personally use my 6p with Android N as my operating system while flying the Mavic. I find that the recommended devices work a little bit more seamlessly, but I'm still happy with the performance of my phone.

I have been having issues getting a good connection with my HTC 10. It uses a type C USB but when I go to connect to camera sometimes it lights up blue other times it doesn't. Controller and drone are up to date with firmware

its not a good experience at all. i have in fact reinstalled the OS fresh twice and it still does not resolve the constant disconnect issues. I am on 7.1 nougat. it disconnects every flight, once or twice. I have to wait to reload the app and usually reconnects but sometimes forces my entire phone to restart which never ever happened before with any program. i still love the drone and the shots i am getting with the new polar pro nd filters. i just am careful that it hovers in safe place while i am attempting reconnect

I have a Mavic Pro and a Nexus 6P and to be totally honest I am very disappointed. I realize the Nexus 6P is not on the list but it is a core Android Phone. DJI needs to get there crap together. First off I waited 2 months for the drone before it arrives, now both the DJI Go and DJI Go 4 App suck when trying to work with my phone. I have disconnects constantly and like Rubberbandito I have to restart my phone to gain access again... which is awesome when your drone is hovering out in the middle of nowhere.

I owned a Phantom 4 before and ran it with a Nexus tablet, and while the remote is awesomely compact it lacks the ability to use a tablet without funky mods. @DHI please get this thing working with the Nexus 6P as I would really enjoy using my drone vs the shelf decoration it is now. Had it over a month and put 2 flights on it.... Damn Shame!

I try my Mavic on my Nexus 6P and would crash a lot and when it did connect it disconnected in a minute. I don't know what DJI problem is the they can get there apps to work correctly on Android and especially on Stock Android like the Nexus 6P.

The Nexus 6p IS on the list. But it crashes a lot. And, you cannot start the app in landscape or it blows up on startup. DJI GO 4 is not very stable at this point. Hope they fix it soon.

dana5,

Where are you seeing that it is on the list? I just pulled up the mavic spec page and it is not listed.

Thanks!

I have the exact same issue. I am very afraid to fly without direct line of sight because of this.

Problem is the dji go app not the nexus 6p. I have a 6p. Works mostly without issues but I've had disconnects a few times also. Or app crash if launched in landscape mode,

DJI Go3 and Mavic definitely work well on Nexus 5.

My Nexus 6p works flawlessly since I changed to a USB cable plugged at the bottom of the RC. I was getting a lot of disconnections with the supplied cable.

I to have a 6p, however, I don't seem to see the same issues others have been reporting.

I do though make sure to kill all running apps before starting up GO4. I also turn off wifi and bluetooth. Sometimes I even go as far as kicking in airplane mode.

I will say that I do experience range issues but I think that is my bird and not the phone. Currently have setup an RMA and will be sending it back in after getting back from 3.5 weeks in Australia with it. I flew a bunch of times and didn't have a single crash.

Question, those that are crashing. Do you also have v3 installed? if so, remove both and then reinstall v4.

I read somewhere that the reason for their app crashing is due to possible memory leaks. That after 8 to 10 minutes, the app crashes and is unable to save any log files. This is dangerous since your log files are necessary to submit a claim should something go wrong. Would you guys mind posting how many GB of RAM your phones have and wether or not you're having any problems? Are you running Nougat 7.1.2? Thanks

I wouldn't hold your breath for any android development out of DJI. When they came out with their first bluetooth LED for the woo kong flight controller. They said they were working on an android app for it, but I never saw it happen. We spent over $20k on DJI gear and were left with no support in the majority of cases. I did get them to repair a gimble once. It took 8 months and still in the same condition it went in.
