one thing that may cause the issue, or not, is that he ran it with apple products and I only have android products. Could this be the issue? I cannot get the phantom to work through the app at all. I connect it to the controller and it does not recognize that the controller is connected. Nothing seems to want to connect to the other.
It is true that generally Apple devices are more compatible. Apple kit is excellent, but I prefer Android generally.
Make certain you have an Android device that is listed by DJI as compatible.
You never mentioned what device you actually have.
For best results, start with a device that has been factory reset so all the pointless apps are removed. Then use the App manager to disable or remove all the unnecessary manufacturers apps.
Keep the device just for your drone and do not allow any firmware updates or software updates except for DJI.
Start the device, then the controller, then the drone. If you have the sim for data, update your map in the DJI app display.
Switch off the SIM data.
Make certain the home point has been recorded.
You should be able to launch the drone and make certain you can get it to respond to all controller commands. The drone only needs to be about 3 metres off the ground for that.
After every session, use the device manager to delete all cashes and optimise memory.
If you do this, you should have safe flights.
In the early days of DJI drones, Android was notorious for issues, but they stopped happening when people removed all the rubbish of their phones.
I use an old Samsung J7 (2016 model) and have never had an issue due to memory leaks, insufficient memory while flying.
Android is vulnerable to poor apps. Apple isn't, because poor apps aren't allowed on the device, by Apple. If that wasn't the case, Apple would fail as easily as Android.
Good luck.
If you have tested the controls fully, Land and fit a fresh battery and try a short range flight. |
