Hi,
DJI Fly app has a bug which should be corrected by DJI engineers.
During my last camping outing on the lakes, the weather was pretty hot (32 degrees Celsius) but nothing out of ordinary for flying.
I was canoeing and kept my MA2 and my mobile in a black MA2 bag.
When removed from the bag, the mobile was very warm, as was the drone.
When I started flying, after about a minute, DJI Fly app displayed the message that DJI Fly app is causing the mobile to overheat. It asked if I wanted to shut it down right away or let it wait for 20 seconds and shut itself automatically. It did not give me an option to cancel this action. After 20 seconds the app did shut down and I needed to restart it (while flying my mA2). Then situation repeated itself.
First - the warning was wrong. It was not DJI Fly app causing mobile to overheat. It was my mobile sitting in the black bag in direct sun. Which got it quite warm (but not hot).
Second - DJI Fly app should not make decisions about overheating mobile. It should let the mobile software or the operating system react, if and when necessary. DJI has no idea about temperature characteristics of various mobile brands. If mobile is overheating, its firmware or OS software should provide appropraite warning and action - not DJI.
Third - not providing an option to cancel shut down of DJI Fly app may be dangerous during flight. You never want the app to shut dow on its own. You want to have full control over it. How to shut it down and when to shut it down.
In my case I ended up restarting the app twice while flying, land the drone, and wait few minutes for my mobile to cool in the shade. But I did not appreciate wrong warning and forcefull app shut down while my mobile would have, without any issues whatsoever, handled this temperature just fine.
