I'm a complete newby and want to expand photography for my motorcycle trips.
I'd like to offer up a couple of solutions that have appeared to work, for me, in relation to the above issues but would still appreciate advice/observations.
I bought a nearly new Spark with a flymore pack and downloaded the latest Go4 app. From day 1 struggled to get any video feed to my phone's screen.
My phone is a Samsung J3 2016 spec / Android 5.1.1. (old I know)
Video Fix
I found a web site that has all DJI app updates and thought I'd roll back to 4.2.12 since I read somewhere it worked well. Fantastic ! The video came on.
The web site is https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/dji-technology-co-ltd/dji-go-4/
I then realised my little mapbox did not show a map and I wanted to fly further away. I just couldn't get my phone to link in to the DJI Go4 home screen's (in the top right - three bars) and open 'offline maps' It just wouldn't open, regardless of the phone being linked to the RC / RC + Spark or even in the house on 5G or on mobile data.
Map Fix
Back to the above web site and I trawled through all the apps updates from 4.2.12 until I read the details for an update for maps and found 4.2.21. After installing this app both the video and maps worked instantly and I could confidently set a home point and see it. Plus the controller / phone spoke to me ''home point successfully stored''.
My next problem was the OTG cable, which had worked, (denoted by the 'disconnected' message when separated), then seemed to allow the RC to drain the battery of my phone flat in 3 minutes. This was fixed by realising the OTG cable is a one-way cable and I then connected it the other way and all worked perfectly
Sorry for the essay !..?......and apologies if my discoveries are just the result of bumbling luck whilst being a newbee but it works for me.
Cheers and thanks again ! |
