It looks like this is probably an issue with Android 7 (Nougat). I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge which works fine, and that is Android 6. I believe Nougat is being released soon for the S7, so it'll be interesting to see if I suddenly have to do this.
To my mind it shouldn't be an issue if it was doing what I thought it would logically do - when you connect to the Phantom via WiFi, the RC, the aircraft and the camera are on local IP addresses (192.168.1, .2 and .3). Android *should* only be trying to use the mobile connection for access to anything *outside* the local network (i.e. the Internet), so if it was doing what it was supposed to do the connection to the Phantom should work, with the added bonus that streaming would actually work in Android, as it does currently when using iOS. Android, at least at the moment, does not allow data connections to both WiFi and mobile at the same time as iOS does.
Hopefully it's a good sign and maybe through DJI and/or Android updates this procedure will no longer be required and streaming will also finally work in Android. |
