Hey there
I have trouble to use my Mavic 2 pro with my Google Pixel 2 XL. The app won't connect. Any ideas? Developermode doesn't help. Cable on bottom port neither. Highly disappointed rightnow.
Best, Marcel

Our apologies for the inconvenience. Kindly back up your files and sync your flight records and then reinstall the APP. You can try  to use a standard cable and connect it to the bottom part of the remote controller which is the reserve Video-downlink port. Please note that you need to remove first the cable which is already connected to the other port of the RC  before you connect the usb cable on the bottom part of the RC.

If you are using 9.0 Android Pie? DJI is not real fast on bleeding edge OS's. So you "might" need to wait till a revised DJI Go 4 app release.

Works flawlessly on my Pixel 2 XL but I have not updated yet and am still running 8.1.0 as I didn't want to risk the app not working with Android 9.

I use my Nexus 6 for flying and it is on stock 7.1.1 My OG Pixel is stock 9.0 Sept so i will wait till DJI gets caught up. This has happened for a year and a half of Android updates so i just gave up and use my Nexus 6. This works best for me and may not for others.

Thank you for your advice. I reinstalled the app and was able to connect. I will keep you updatet if this stays like that when I'm next time out in the field.

I have a bunch of connection issues with the Pixel 2 XL and the controller. I found that it only works reliably when I put the phone in airplane mode before connecting it to the controller. If I don't put it in airplane mode and it works, I get interference warnings like crazy from the app.

Make sure you unplug the small cable from the side of the control while trying to connect to the bottom usb port.  I was having the same issue with it not connecting to my android tablet until I disconnected the short cable.  I hope that is the what is happening to you.

You got the standard DJI response. Pixel 2 XL has not and does not maintain connection. An established issue that DJI has either ignored or are incapable of correcting. The connection issue has been an ongoing disappointment.

Works perfectly on a Pixel 2 XL.  Roughly 100 flights in, no disconnections, no issues for me.  Running latest Dec 18 security updates.

Hey everyone. It's going to be redundant but just want to verify. DJI Mavic 2 Pro works with Google Pixel 2 xl now correct? I know last year it wasn't working so I had to use my secondary phone. By the looks of it it's all good to go now. Can someone confirm. Thank you

Wow, I'm really sick of untouchable companies hiring poorly trained customer service "agents" who don't even read what you wrote (or listen to what you say on the phone) and respond with a long-winded, single answer telling you to do exactly what you just told them you already tried without success.
I'm pretty sure these greedy companies want you to get frustrated and just give up, so they design their customer service scripts and policies to screw you and run you in circles. Many words come to mind. Infuriating. Demoralizing. Painstaking. Exhausting. Boycott. Ban. Cancel. OVER IT. NEVER AGAIN.
