Hello,

Keep in mind that this takes place in the same location and same aircraft.  Why is it when i use an iphone i get constant interference warnings.  However, when using an android i get no such warnings.  Aircraft, Remote Controller and viewing devices all current firmware and versions.  I know there are hundreds of threads on this.  But why no such warnings on the android.  I thought apple was supposed to be the superior product to use with DJI products.

I will take a guess that the iPhone, a more sophisticated device than a generic Android, has more general radiation emitting from it and that radiation is causing interference with the controller.  

You might play around with a few layers of aluminum foil or some RF shielding foil and see if that helps.

Thank you very much for your response. Is this occur every time that you fly the drone? Have you tried it in a different location?

Does not happen when in remote areas.  Was only concerned because when operating in same area iPhone was having these warnings and android was not.

I use an iphone and that same exact warning pops up every time too, usually several times during one flight. It has never caused any trouble though.

Yeah, hasn't caused any problems, just distracting...  On mine it is constantly popping up.

a small piece of black tape over that spot where the warning is will fix this.

I have also experienced exactly the same thing when using my iphone. The interference warnings vary in frequency depending on the location of the flight.  I am about to start trying an android tablet so will see how that compares.
The warnings do create doubt in your mind when flying especially if you are a new flyer like myself!

Can the dev-team make a filter proggy for recognizing the iPhone radiation and and the real external radiation of an extra EM field like WIFI or other phone spot inside the Go app for iOS?
The iOS version is now 11.4 and the iOS Go app is on version 3.1.38.

DJI Natalia,

What exactly does that warning mean? What type of interference is it indicating?

Our repair team will check and do some test if this issue only happens to iOS. We'll let you know the result.

It means the iPhone is frying your brain with radiation.

Android users are already there, so not necessary?

Android mobiles don´t have these radiation as an iOS mobile in fact. On my MPQC in did´nt get any interference warning at all but my iphone i got it more at once.
