Thank you for suggestion.
Thinking about a change in updates, I tried to install app and firmware versions of june-august, when I had not problem, but nothing changed.
It's strange ...don't you think?
As others have said, phone compatibility and drone firmware do present a 'Russian Roulette' scenario for users.
If you look at the forums for any specific phone, you will find users complaining about usability issues.
Why is this, when every phone of that model is manufactured identically. The answer is of course, the user has changed settings and installed apps that will be different from any one else.
The interaction of the drone firmware with the Go app as it sends data back to the phone and also from phone to drone is very complex. If you have ever done any programming, you will understand why it is easy to build in reliability issues into the software.
Phones have no mission critical purpose, except when flying a lump like a drone that can fly off and injure someone. Perhaps the time has come to have a dedicated device to work with the system.
About a year ago, I decided to upgrade my Samsung J7 to the Galaxy S9+. Silly me... I had so many firmware upgrade issues, drone and phone, I decided to use the J7 with no updates, no running apps except system and Go 4 and always wipe the data like stills and video from the drone after every session. This has worked flawlessly. I also kill off every running program before running Go 4. The core services and essential apps will return, naturally, but that is fine.
To prevent DJI updates spoiling things and to remove the NFZ function, I use NLD software and version 003. This was a stable firmware and as I said, I can rely on the drone working predictably.
Perhaps you should consider achieving stable and reliable kit. You won't be missing out on features, because DJI aren't providing new ones, just NFZ updates. |
