I can't even get it to connect to pc, but I think that's a internet issue as I can't login to assistant 2 for some reason

Can you enter the camera view for the mavic when you open the app (It should be a blank screen as it is not paired with your Mavic yet). Then from the camera view you will need to pair your RC with the Mavic. Then retry and it will recognize it.

Hi Chris, since Google pixel isn't in our device recommended list, could you please try to change another mobile device to link with RC again?
Please make sure your mobile device connect with network.

I am on the same boat here. Received Mavic pro yesterday I updated both the controller  and Mavic Pro, still not able to activate the drone. Controller says connecting forever. Did anyone figured out how to fix this activation issues? Thanks

I Think I have the same or similar problem. I have been trying to follow several different set up tutorials for instance:

I  installed DJI GO for Android, plugged everything in, booted the app and when I turn on the controller all I get is, 'Disconnected'  and ‘Enter Device’. It seems like I can't complete anything without activating the aircraft and I am never prompted to do so. If I click on Enter Device I get only a dark screen, no data, and the statice bar (top right) says Disconnected. Some of the controls in the software and any data missing.

It does't make any difference if I use the short DJI cable or the USB port, the results are the same. It acts like my phone is not even plugged in to the controller.

When I go through this each time the controller says Connecting then the phone opens a screen called USB Computer Connection. There are several choices here, USB Storage, USB Tethered, Media Device, Camera, Charge Only, etc. I have it set to Tethered.

I figured the issue. The toggle switch between WiFi and remote was set in the middle. When push it to remote, I am able to connect and activate. Thank you all

Hey guys,
I was trying to use both DJI Go 4 and the Assistance2 on my iMac and finally discovered my OSX doesn't handle Microsoft Windows based software.
I finally connected my iPhone 6+ to the controller and used one of the small cables to connect the controller to the Mavik Pro drone.
I then opened the Litchi App and it responded. Before connecting all three, there was no response. The password for the drone is on the aft left foldable arm. I still don't know if the controller is working but video was presented in my iphone.
I might have to retegister the controller. But, I did press the takeoff butyon(green upward arrow located in the bottom left of the Litchi App. Litchi is also a great app for goggles.
Additionally, while hooked up with all three devices connected, the firmware showed updates under settings. Once disconnected, the firmware codes disappeared and became n/a.
Finally, is anyone else not happy with DJI for never being there to specifically address these problems?
We don't need more foreign products that fail and cost us valuable time and resources to try to straighten out their tech issues. I have flown many times to China as an international 777 pilot and found that almost everything we are sold fail and their is no one to help with those issues unless you know the vendor. As you can tell, even the English used in the manuals and Apps is not proper, so how can the engineering be on it's game?
It's time this should be resolved immediately by the company.
I shouldn't have to use my engineering degree to solve their problems.
Take care and have fun.

when you run the DJI Go 4 App, it will prompt you to activate the device make sure that you're connected to internet and follow the instructions

Dear all,

Has DJI recently changed their activation process in any way?

I received my Mavic today. I bought it from Amazon Warehousedeals, it was marked as new and all of the seals were on the drone. It didnt seem that the drone was used.

I installed the DJI 4 app for the Mavic on my iPad Pro and my Samsung Galaxy S8. As I read online that all new DJI products have to be registered, I wanted to activate it accordingly, but the app never prompted me and also never indicated that I can only fly it in restricted mode.
I have not flown it yet since I am a bit afraid to do so without the activation. On both devices (ipad and Galaxy S8) it shows that the drone is connected and I could even start the engines without the propellers on.

Where can I see if my drone is restricted and not activated? Could it be that it was activated by someone else and I can still fly it with my own DJI account (email)?

I also checked the switch on the Mavic itself, it is on RC as recommended. I can change all the flight settings and have normal video feed.

Please let me know if it is safe for me to operate the drone or not, even without any apparent activation. I also cannot scan the QR-Code for activation.

Best regards

I had the same problem today..  It turned out to be the Drone was set to WiFi and that caused the app not to work.  I set it to RC,  uninstalled the app,  reinstalled.  Load the app with phone connected to the controller.  Powered on the controller and then the Drone.  App responded and Activation process began as tutorials online show.
