As suggested here I'll try to star what it could become a great help to all the android user, a list with pros and cons about android devices
Of course I need the help of every android user on this forum to implement the list of devices and how they perform with the DJI Go4 app.
NOTICE NOW APP VERSION 4.1.22 AVAILABLE WITH THE OPTION TO TEST A NEW MAP SERVICE
THESE ARE THE OFFICIALISED DEVICES
- Samsung S8 It seems that the S8 works well even with the lates android app. Could have some problem with screen resolution as all the other samsung family devices with edges, it seems to be an easy solving problem just by play around with the resolution of the phone in the settings
- Samsung S7 edge This is my personal device till now no problem apart time to time resolution unsupportet error once I update the app via the play store (solved using the official DJI website app download) and the recent issue wit spherical photo stiching in the last version of the app, someone report overheat, transmission lag and green pixellation in video stream (DJI Go4 ver. 4.1.18 apparently solved using app ver. 4.1.15 / 4.1.10) I've noticed it but only when inside home or near buildings or other source of electronic interferences. (Try, before take off to give more time to the remote and the drone to find the best transmission channel for example you can wait till the poor transmission error in the briefing page of the app change in good) with the last app update all works well and the panorama sphere are stitched and created as well AFTER APP UPDATE 4.1.22 THE APP CANNOT FIND THE PHOTOS TAKEN WITH THE DRONE DESPITE THEY ARE PRESENT ON THE DEVICE SO THE ALBUM INSIDE THE APP GIVES THE MESSAGE NO PHOTOS NO VIDEO FOUND I HAVE TO TRY TO UNINSTALL AND REINSTALL
- Samsung S7 Reported to be more laggy and with problems despite his big brother doing well with the GO4 App, if someone is using it with the last update please report your expirience
- Samsung S6
- Samsung S5 After the 4.1.18 app update of nov. 28 this device its back to normal operation with no issues to report
- Samsung NOTE4 Used to work well but after the last app update users report unusable with lag and transmission pixelation or green screen
- LG V20
- CrystalSky A lot of people are disappointed abut that should be the number one priority official device for the Dji Drones, usually recive Go4 update some days later after iOS and android smartphones, it doesn't have a Play store installed but with the last firmware you can install 3rd developers apps (reported that Litchi is not possible to install and it should not work due to the needing by the app of google services and maps and if you have buy it there's no possibilities to install without paing again due do the lack of google services in the cristal sky)
UNOFFICIALL USER DEVICES LIST
- Samsung Note 10.1 (First version) This is my second device is a tablet from 2012 unusable despite the app works well because of no image transmission from the drone, till now no solution found
- Samsung A5 Reported working with no issues after the last nov.30 Go4 App update. Solved all the tipical problem of the first version of App 4.1.18
- Samsung Note 8 Despite this device is not yet in the official list (the newest devices take some time to be listed) someone in the forum use it with good result even with the latest Dji Go4 App as for the other family product some problems could derive from the resolution of the screen so maybe try to chance that in the phone settings
- Samsung Note 5 Reported to not have never had any issue even with the latest firmware and Go4 app no lag no problems
- Samsung Tab A (7inch) Lots of lag and bad video transmission REPORTED NOT WORKING WITH THE LAST APP UPDATE
- Samsung Tab S2 (8inch) Works well wit all the latest firmware and Go4 app (IT FITS IN THE MAVIC REMOTE) SOMEONE HAVE CONNECTION PROBLEM WITH THIS TABLET POSSIBLE WORKAROUND IS TO USE IN WIFI MODE OR IF CONNECTED TO THE REMOTE SHUT DOWN AND RESTART THE TABLET
- Wiko TOMMY2 Possible app crash due to not so performant hardware, it could warm up a bit but still be used to cntrol the drone, usual pixelation and green screen with app 4.1.18
- Lenovo K5 Plus Pixelated video transmission and lags or slow response on the latest Go4 app 4.1.18 (need to test with the latest 4.1.18 update of 28 nov.)
- Sony Xperia Z3 Viedo Transmission and lags problem after the 4.1.18 Go4 App update, revert back to version 4.1.15 didn't solve the problem
- LG V30 Reported to workpretty reliable with app ver. 4.1.22 but may sometimes crash even during flight
- Acer Iconia 7" Working really well, no lags, no dropouts, good tablet for best price and fits in the mavic remote
