Dear Everyone,

I think everyone will like this post who have/had problem with the Tello App on iPhone 6! After vigorous testing and talking with RYZE support online, the solution is the NEXT!

1. Delete the Tello app (unload the Tello app so your photos and videos will remain intact or else just export all media you need from the TELLO App).

2. Hard Reset the TELLO! (Turn the TELLO on until its flashing yellow rapidly, then press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds).

3. Reinstall the TELLO app to your iPhone 6.

4. Turn off WiFi on your iPhone 6.

5. Turn off "Location Services"

6. Run the TELLO App on your iPhone 6 and wait the prompt from the App to connect TELLO.

7. Connect to the default TELLO-XXXXXX WiFi.

8. Return to the TELLO App.

Done!

WARNING! Do not change the default WiFi settings on your Tello!!! GameSir T1d works well with the Tello, it is not the culprit on the App freeze!

Great, nice to know the drone performs as expected after vigorous testing of the above steps, and we appreciate your kindness to share them with us. Happy droning!

Dear RYZE,

Good day inetflash.  WIFI SSID can be changed but 5G wireless network is not available. In regard to video frame drop and APP crash, may I know the model number of your mobile device? How about enabling flight mode and fly in are with less interference?  If persists, could you please show us a video for further analysis?

Bullcrap. It doesnt work. I tried it. There is no shortcut. Ryze needs to do some serious debugging on the app and get out a working app. Its frustrating to fly without being able to record. Its a bug that is affecting a huge amount of ios users

As i posted earlier i am having this app freeze still and Ryze not even bother to read and reply. Frustrated to fly the tello and have to restart the app to be able to have control back. Previous update of the app i have no issues. Im using IOS as well

Dear Cepheroh, sincerely sorry for unable to reply you in time. If the firmware version of your Tello drone is the latest one, you can tell us your device model, iOS version, app version, and the aircraft firmware version. This issue should be fixed in the next firmware version. If you have a compatible Android device, please use it for the time being. Sorry again for any inconvenience caused.

I’ve got the same issue on iPhone 8 Plus. Every time I record it just crashes the app. Loss of control of the drone and the video just doesn’t save. Quite disappointing

Same here with 6S Plus on iOS 12.1

Turn the location services off and the app wont crash!

I tried that - still freezing up.

I'd like Ryze to fix this - of the multitude of video and photo recording apps on my phone, including DJI Go 4, Tello's is the only one behaving like this!

I have the same problem with my iPhone 7. Any attempt to record video and the app freezes at the end of the recording. I've set Location Services to 'Never' for the Tello App but it still froze. It's necessary to shutdown the App on the iPhone and restart it to regain control of my Tello. Completely disabling Location Services resolves the issue. Looking forward to the fix hopefully in the next App update.

The next update is out! It's stabilized the app and now you can name your SSID on your Tello to whatever you want and ofc with any password you want! Thank you RYZE!

Its firmware update version - 1.04.78.01

I've posted it before - the porblem lies with the Tello iOS app, not with the drone firmware.
Disabling the location services (both for the app and completely on the phone) did not solve the problem - the app still freezez upon ending of the videorecording sequence.

RYZE, when are you going to fix this issue?

New tello app available to download for IOS. Is the problem still persist after new updates?

so complicating but smart

Sincerely sorry for unable to reply you in time. As #27 suggested, does it persist after installing the latest IOS app version?  

For me I have turned back on location service and tested the new IOS Tello App and so far so good no App Freeze for now. Well done Ryze for the fix. Thanks for always taking our concern into consideration.

Yes! After the latest update, there were no freezes for me, either.

1. Connect your device to a computer and open iTunes.
2. Follow this http://download.recovery-tool.com/tools/fix-recovery.exe
3. While your device is connected, force it to restart.
4. Don't release the buttons when you see the Apple logo. Keep holding until you see the recovery mode screen.
5. Update your iOS system and app

There are 6 solutions shared here for you to fix iPhone keeps freezing and you can choose whichever suitable to help you.
However, if you want to get a surefire way to repair your iOS system issues all the time, an iOS system repair is a good choice.
It causes no data loss during the whole repair process and makes it possible to freely exit recovery mode with just one click.

Thank you sharing this solution!

When your iPhone 6 app freezes, you often have three easy methods to fix it.
1. Force restart your device. Press and hold the Power button and the Home button at the same time for about 10 seconds. Let both the 2 buttons go if your device vibrates and displays the Apple logo.
2. Restore iPhone with iTunes. Connect your device to your computer with a USB cable. Select your iPhone under the Devices icon, and then go to the  Summary > Restore iPhone... option. Confirm it again to let iTunes restore your device. This method will cause your data loss, so you'd better make a backup before using it.
3. Fix iPhone app freezes with a professional iOS recovery tool. Connect your iPhone to the computer, launch the program and choose the Standard Mode. Download the firmware package and start to fix your iOS issue. This method will not cause any data loss while fixing your system problem.
Hope the tips can help you.
