You are probably right about availability of the RC. But if I remember it correctly people were getting the spark on its own first and the fly more combo was the more popular choice later on, hence the 5.8GHz problem existed before people had the RC, because they couldn't connect to the spark's 5.8GHz Wi-Fi which used to be the standard band used by the spark.
But be it as it may, this doesn't change the fact, that the connection issues have been around since day 1 and absolutely nothing has happened to address this (including countless app updates), which made me think that this is a problem which might not be fixed easily.
There seems to be some kind of misconception here, I’m not defending dji here, but as somebody who has been using dji drones since P2 and been around this forum for quite some time, I have some idea on how dji will reply to these situations, dji is not a public company it’s a private company and just so happens to be by far the most successful consumer drone manufacturing company in the world by some margin. So they don’t come under pressure by shareholders and if you look at there rise to success, nobody is walking away.
As long as I’ve been around here I have only once seen dji release a statement from the hierarchy and this was around the debacle regarding delivery times for Mavic.
I have never seen a statement for wrong firmware bad software problems with aircraft, batteries, RC etc etc, it doesn’t happen and it won’t happen in this case either.
I’ll give you a scenario, let’s say dji say we will release FW/SW to support otg in March 2018, what do you think will happen, I’ll tell you this forum would be up in arms, same if they say they won’t be supporting otg, the same if they do support otg and it doesn’t work, the same if they said they would release in next firmware and it wasn’t ready.
So if they issue a statement no matter what they will cause consternation amongst users, so they tend to always play their cards close to their chest and release firmware/software products etc only when they feel they are ready, so people can rant until they are blue in the face, we will only see support for otg and problem sorted with bandwidths when dji are ready to let you know.
You can see a post above from dji R&D android department , it explains where they are with otg and what might happen, but as soon as it’s posted, it’s considered as standard generic response, so the whingers whiners and ranters will always be waiting in the wings to tell us it’s not good enough.
You will also find most of those who whinge and whine around here are not here to help anyone else with any problems, and have no problem insulting others, but hey it seems if you try to help that’s what happens. |
