Just got the Tello today, charged it before flight then after turning it on and connecting to my Note 9 i get the issues attached. The recorded video looks very weird with lines but worst of all is when on snapshot mode, you cant even see anything but crazy colors. Is this a bad unit or is there a settings to fix it?

Video recorded

Try to uninstall the app and reinstall it
If it still not working then you might need to contact their customer support

Btw welcome to the forum!

Hey Mizee, sorry for this unpleasant experience. May I know if you have you ever tried another mobile device? It looks more like the compatible issue between Note 9 and Tello APP. And we sincere sorry that there isn't a setting to fix it. In regard to it, could you please offer screenshots of the version of the mobile phone, of APP version and firmware version below for further analysis? Thanks a lot in advance.

That must have been frustrating for you, very sorry about it. In regard to iPad 2 mini, iPad air, if the firmware version of Tello is latest, please kindly extend your patience, reset assure that we would push forward new APP to correct it. Also, sorry that Samsung galaxy s8 is not on the recommended list and can't ensure its compatibility.

When you switch to fast flight mode, the video image is normal.

Could be your app.

generally most androids struggle with DJI and RYZE stuff , iOS just seems to work seamlessly

Hi, I had the same issue in Brazil and I have a note 9 also. Tried in S7 and worked. I'm very frustrated as I brought to take pictures of my vacation and now I can't.

When I switch to video mode, the quality is poor and black and write. Is that something I need to set in the camera of my note9?

I have a Note 9 and have no problems with the video or photos showing on the phone screen.
Check your permissions for the tello.

Have you updated to the latest drone Firmware and the latest android application.

Please kindly check if it persists after upgrading to the latest firmware version  - 01.04.78.01.
If persists, you might also try steps below :
1. Power it off
2. Hold the power button for about 5-8s until the solid green led goes off  [ Please release it once the green led goes off ]
3. Wait until a flashing red led goes on automatically.
4. Connect its wifi , redo firmware upgrade then.

I just recieved my Tello, and when I turned it on had the exact same screen with green lines and everything. I'm also using a note 9. I'm not using another phone to fly this, I don't have one and I would like to know how to fix this problem

Well received Mathew, sincerely sorry for this unpleasant experience. Per it, may I know if it works before? Does this issue occur right after updating the Android version, or the APP version, or the aircraft firmware version? For further analysis, Could you kindly provide the info below :
1) The model number of your mobile phone.
2) Screenshots of the system version of the mobile device.
3) Screenshots of APP version and firmware version.

Hello, I'm having the same issue with a Moto G5S plus and a moto G5. the firmware of the tello is 01.04.78.01

Dear Lucas, your valuable info would be appreciated.  We will also report your case to the R&D department. For now, It is recommended to use the Tello app on a compatible Android device.
Sincerely sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Hello,  I am having the same issues with green lines.  I am using a Moto G5 plus and it worked well for almost a year until I upgraded to Android 8.1.0.  In reading this thread I see phones that use Android 8 & 9 are having the same issues.  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the Tello App and it did not fix the issue.  I believe that Ryze needs to fix the App to work with phones that use the Android 8 & 9 versions of the operating system.

I too am having this problem.  I have a Moto G5 Plus running Android 8.1.  I have the latest Firmware unless a new version has been created in the last couple of weeks. My problems started in January. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app and that did not work.  This was my first and is my favourite drone. I hope you have a fix for this problem besides "get another phone."

Appreciate your kindness murrintjc,  we are pretty sorry for this. If convenience, can you offer the snap of firmware version and APP version of the drone, as well as the green screen. Besides, do you suffer this issue all the way or does it occurs after upgrading or else?  Thanks.

Same issue on my Moto Z3. All firmware is up to date. App has been uninstalled/reinstalled twice and updated each time. Tello has also been updated.
Bought this yesterday (2/15/19) and did it out of the box.

Photo mode shows only green lines in live view (but the photos themselves are fine. Video feed has green lines. The recorded video resembles the video feed.

Video recording playback divided into 4 quadrants, two green and two purple. Tello app has the appropriate permissions to storage as the videos and images are there, just video is bad.  Images are fine.  

Interesting thing is that after noticing the video recording issue, I installed Tello FPV and video recording in it is fine. So it is the Tello app having the issue. No, I don't have another phone or OS to try it on and why should I, Android has 74% market share.


Tello
App version 1.3.0.0

I am using a compatible device (www ryzerobotics com/tello/downloads)

Thank you for your cooperation. And we are sorry for the inconvenience that this caused.
After confimration, we found that Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a compatible Android device. But in order to solve your problem more efficiently，we recommends you using other compatible Android device to test our Tello APP.
We have also forwarded your case to the R&D department. Could you please provide us some screenshot about the interface of playback?
