Francis that had me rolling on the floor, sorry, I DID BUY an Android phone SPECIFICALLY to run the fly app, it won't even be used as a phone. The problem is it drains the controller's battery FAR FAR FAR too quickly and it seems there is beep beep all that can be done about that as it is inbuilt into the nature of Android and the USB connection. I bought the iphone to replace the Android phone because the iphone apparently draws very little current from the controller's battery.
Ex machina, thanks, maybe I used the wrong phrase, shall we then say "leave the app and return to the home screen"?
Ah, gotcha. Apparently you can jailbreak at least some Android phones and hack the OS to make them quit using the remote as a charging source, but yeah, not something to do lightly, unless mebbe you are dedicating the device to your drone and don't need to worry about the obvious security concerns.
Anyway, glad you sussed it out! |
