Hello All,

      So I just bought an OTG Cable, which goes between the Spark Controller and my Android Samsung 7 Edge.. I turn OFF Wifi and it connects fine, but once in the options it will NOT let me turn on Advanced gesture controls.     I have tried this same this with my buddies Apple I-Phone and it works fine.. but with Android you CANNOT turn this option on.   

     Then just using Wi-Fi it works fine as well.   OTG Cable does not.   I have also tried 4 different cables, all with the same outcome.  

     Anyone else having this issue?   

       Thanks!

You are apparently using Android version 4.1.18. There are well known issues when using OTG cable. You may use WiFi connection instead, go back to 1.4.15 which will work well with OTG or wait for the new Android version on which DJI is working hard right now but certainly will only release when ready and sufficiently tested.

Thanks for the heads up Wachtberger!

Do you know how I can go back to 1.4.15 on the Spark?

Yes, you can download the APK from here and install it on your device. Before doing that you have to completely delete data of the current version and uninstall it: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/dj ... -release/#downloads
There are two versions, one for smartphones the other for tablets. Which one works for you, you have to try yourself. But one of them will work.
