Aloha fans04,
As TheMann indicates we need some more information. The problems you are having indicate a device that is under-powered. That can come to a phone or tablet that has a lot of apps operating while you are trying to fly. It can also be due to your device not being up to the task. DJI had to come out with the DJI GO 4 app because the DJI GO app was being over whelmed by the new technology.
One easy test is to run your device in Airplane Mode. This will stop downloads and Internet access from hogging RAM and processor time. If things improve, there is more you can do. Phones and tablets are sold with apps that you probably have little use for because the manufacturer gets money and that reduces the cost to you, the consumer. These apps are useless for flying so you have to go into the app manager (in the device's settings) and disable or uninstall them. There will be apps that are required to run the device, so be careful of what you disable or uninstall.
Even if your device has previously worked OK, each new update can put more demands on your device and this can show with the problems you indicate. In the HD icon of General Settings you can manage your communication between RC and the Phantom. Disabling Auto and selecting a strong signal in either the 5.8 or 2.4 GHz frequency can really help with the problem. You can also reduce the Bitrate with the slider. Reducing the Bitrate reduces the processor requirements and that can make the image better.
These are all easy ways to define your problem. But the real deciding factor is your device itself. Is your device on the list of approved devices? Basically, you need a multi-processor and 2 GB of RAM. Anything less and you can expect problems. Any device over two years old will generally have problems. If you do get a new device check around here for suggestions, you will get plenty of help! You should probably get a device you can dedicate to your flying.
Hope this helps!
Aloha and Drone On! |
