Hello all,

I have been using the Phantom 2 Vision+ with a Nexus 7 tablet with great results. Got a system udate for the tablet, ran the upgrade  and now have Android 5.0. DJI Vision will start and I can see the video link to the camera with the Phantom at idle. When I begin to take off the app closes.

I have a Samsung S4 and the Vision App still works fine.

Anyone else using a Nexus 7 with the newest operating sytem? Any Problems?

Thanks

Hi,

U can reset and restart the Extender, bind it to ur P2V+ again, then connect the camera with DJI VISION App.
If still not work, maybe something wrong with the Extender.

I'm running an Apple ipad 9.7 inch screen.  I had to upgrade my IOS on the ipad to 6.1.  Can you upgrade any higher than 5.0?

Autumn, I tried resetting the extender and rebinding but the app still closes on takeoff. Like I mentioned, it works fine on the Samsung S4.

Gerry, Android 5.0 is the most current operating system, or so the tablet tells me.

Thanks for the help

Hello,

I have the same issue on my nexus 4 mobile!
If i turn on the motors, the app closes immediately!  If I turn them off again, I can launch the app and see the camera picture again.
Turning on the motors again, results in an immediate closing of the app. If i try to restart the app when the motors are on, it closes directly after i launched it.

Further to that:
Since i´ve upgraded to Android 5 lollipop,  connecting the WLAN to the range extender sometimes fails. This never happend with the same device and android 4.4.4. But that´s just a minor issue i could live with.

Conclusion: The app is unusable with Nexus 4 and probably with Nexus 7 devices and android 5.0 Lollipop!

@DJI: This is obviously a bug! I´m willing to help in resolving it. if there is anything i can do on my end (collecting trace files, etc..) please drop me a line.

Thanks,
Marcel

Have you updated firmware to newest version?
Did you take video before take off?

hello,

yes---I´m using the latest FW on Phantom2 (3.08) and the Vision app has also the latest version (1.0.54).
I did not take a photo before I turned on the propellers also I did not switched on recording.

BR,

It could be a compatibility problem of Android 5.0
Seems you have to use Andriod 4.4.4 device until they improve it.
Any one using Android 5.0 can run the App successfully????

Hello,

yes...It is definitely a compatibility issue as the app was working with the same device and Android 4.4.X! I already raised a support call on Monday with DJI Europe, but no response up to now...
As nexus devices are the official Google smartphones i wonder why it´s not working.
I know that other vendors like HTC,LG or Samsung are working on an Android 5 release for their devices, but as soon as those releases are wide spread, DJI will have a bigger issue!

So is there anyone out here who has the same issues like a crashing app when powering on the propellers since an update to Andorid 5 was made???

Cheers,
Marcel

Ok just tried to reproduce your problem, except I had no props connected, otherwise
Vision 2+,
nexus 7 (2013),
Android 5,
App 1.0.54 ,
one think to note is I upgraded the central board firmware this morning
to 1.0.2.10 (new upgrade today on DJI website)

I "flew" the quad round the house with my hands and recorded  a couple of minutes of video, NO PROBLEMS at all
UPDATE

Been out to my flying field, performed immaculately, even went up to 600 feet no dropouts, do 28th November 2014 firmware upgrade!

On my Nexus 5 with Android 5 the drone isn't recognized by the app even if the wifi is connected to it.

To get the app to see the drone I need to turn off mobile data.

On my Nexus 7, Android 5 the DJI VISION app is marked as incompatible with the device and won't even show up in play store if I search for it.

I'm sure it is a compatibility issue with Android 5.

The new lollipop 5.0 is horrible.  Android needs to fix it fast. My Nex. 7 is almost bricked after the update.
It has nothing to do with DJI or any other App.  Even Facebook with its billions in resources force closes on Lollipoop. (Pun intended)
Not much to do imo other than wait for Android to fix it

Hello John,

thanks for the hint!

I did the upgrade to the latest fw update but it´s still the same behavior with my Nexus 4 device...
I downgraded it to android 4.4.4 and now it´s working again.
I´ve decided to wait until a stable version of the Vision app will be released which works with android 5.

Again..Thanks for your investigation!

Cheers,
Marcel

Hello everyone,

Just did as Marcel (upgraded firmware to latest version) and had the same problem. Unlike John my Nexus 7 is the 2012 version so maybe that is the difference in why his works and mine doesn't. Who knows.

App is still force closing when starting motors. I definitely think it is an Android 5.0 issue. Just glad it still works on the S4

Thank you all for the help

I just rolled my Nexus 7 (2012) back to Android 4.4 and everything works fine.

I have the same problem on Nexus 10 (5.0.1) and Nessus 5 (5.0). I believe it is related to android trying to use Mobile Data instead of wifi when internet is not reachable.  The trick (according to forums) is either to "accept the network as is"  or use airplane mode and activate Wifi. I am not finished troubleshooting and will continue tonight with my old Nessus 4 (4.0.4) and compare all the behavior.

They (Android) have released the upgrade to 5.0.1, perhaps this is what you have been waiting for?

Hello,

I have the same issue on my nexus 4 mobile!

I have the very same issue.  Nexus 4, Lollipop 5.0.   I Just got the notification and upgraded to 5.01; no joy.  I uninstalled/reinstalled vision app.   No good.   I also cannot get Ground Station to come up.  Swiping left in camera causes app to crash and return to selection screen.   I have map cached locally.

Hi Guys
I have the same problem with Nexus-4 ver 5.01
Upgraded the Phantom 2 Vision+ to the latest firmware from DJI no fix.
3.04; 6.0.1.4; 1.0.1.3; 2.0.0.0; app is at 1.0.54; camera 1.1.9 and Naza-m at 3.08
Either I will have to roll back 5.0.1 or wait for a fix from Android.

Hi -- My NEXUS 7 2012 updated last night to Lollipop 5.02.

I have the same issues --:
1) bad connection to Phantom  when I connected.\ (poor WI-FI connection)
2) Disconnects when I start the props

Even with 2.4.4 things worked, but NEXUS 7 2012 had a hard time keeping connection and slow download speeds. Maybe  DJI knows that there are issues with NEXUS 7 as it doesn't download the APP from Google Play. I had to install by downloading the app from DJI website, and install it manually.

I have NO such issues with Note 2 on 4.4.2.

Hope DJI will reply to this POST :

1) Support for Nexus 7 in general
2) Specifically with Lollipop 5.02

Samsung will update S5 and Note 4 (any moment I hear) to Lollipop. Many DJI users will have  MAJOR issues then!!!!

DJI -- please ACT before many Vision users will loose their drones!

Thank you,

Hi guys,
I hope you can help cause now I am even more confused.
Just got my pv2+, was using with samsung s4 a few minor glitches but overall great.  
I no longer have that phone and am about to get a new one (Ireland) want to fly fpv and using groundstation.
Was considering a samsung note 4 but can't find anything on it regarding its use with the phantom and don't know if it will work and it's a bit pricy.
So I was considering getting a dedicated nexas 7 second gen, but after reding all the comments I am unsure. I like the idea of the bigger screen for setting coordinates and fpv.
iPad are very expensive here so any ideas please no desire for an electronic paperweight or incompatibility leading to a fly away.

Thanx in advance

As you can see in the photo,  version IOS 8.1

Shameless plug for a new Android app I am creating; 1st version is in beta and if you would like to try in on Lollipop (Android 5) have a go; I'm waiting to hear back but initial tests have suggested that it doesn't suffer from the crash seen on some 5.0 devices.

Hi having same probs on nexus 4 since upgrading,app still works on wife's android with kit Kat and on latest Apple ver 8. Have downloaded your new beta app "hoping" BUT no luck as soon as engines are powered up app shuts down ! Very frustrating.hope DJI are listening. Tried local UK DJI APPOINTED conduit , pleasant reply but suggested it was a fault in the updated android app. (Basically stating the * obvious) . Very willing to try any further updates you are working on and will report back. Good luck.

The issue has been raised to DJI; there is a new drop of the SDK, I've been told it will be Feb/Mar and hopefully this issue is fixed in that release.

My Nexus 7 runs Android version 5.0.2 problems with app., it came 06-01-2015

I have Nexus 7 (2012) with 5.0.2 and it shuts down.   What are my options?

Roll back?
New Device?
New app?
Or just wait for an app or android update?

Sure it's an incompatibility between the app and android Lollipop. I've updated my HTC a M8 with Lollipop and I've the crash now when rotors start running.

I have used the app of Nexus 2013 with Lollipop 5.0.2 and it worked fine.  Im not sure what the difference is between by 2012 and my 2013 running same version of Android?!?

I see in the release note http://download.dji-innovations. ... elease_Notes_en.pdf that there was a fix for Android 5.0.1 on Feb. 13. I have a Nexus 7 (2012) running Android 5.0.2. Can anyone confirm whether this device will work with Phantom Vision 2+ v3? I have not bought one yet but am considering. THANK YOU.

@adrianmizz1983i: I see your post was dated 2-13-15 which is the same date of the release note I am referring to. Were you already on the latest app update with your Nexus 7 2012? Thanks again for any info because that is the device I would like to use.
