i am unsure if you should calibrate in different places. if you do calibrate though make sure you are at least 10 meters away from any metal, concrete, cell phones(including your own) and the dji spark controller. all of these things can cause errors in your compass and confuse the drone.
If you go far enough away, you should recalibrate. This is to reallign with the earths magnetic declination.
And by far enough away, I mean a hundred km or so.
As for 10M from everything....just make sure you are away from significant sources of ferrous metal (iron or steel) or AC power lines. Those will throw off the calibration. This includes concrete (usually contains rebar), near overhead power lines, park picnic tables with metal frames, or carbon surfaces.
Note that depending on your home construction, it may not be good to do it indoors, as you may have a steel frame or support beam, or there could be a power line just under the floor.
Your phone and RC will have no effect on calibration unless you are holding those devices on the drone when doing it. In reality, being more than 1-2M from any metal should not have much effect, but better to be extra careful when calibrating.
