While you phone was on airplane mode, your phone was still connected to a network. Data roaming is blocked so that you do not have a constant streaming of information You can have data roaming turned off, go somewhere you have free internet and you will be able to download you information. This is why you were able to use the drone. When you have a low signal strength on your phone , you will not able to send video, or in a lot of cases even sms messages. We did a lot of testing and discovered this problem. As soon as we came into an area that had strong signal strength, it all worked fine. This is why the smart controller is so much better , as it does not use a mobile network at all. I have been involved with electronics for many years, so I do experiment with these apparatus. When the mobile phone network was set up originally, it used the analogue system, then the government's needed the analogue system for the ministry, so we went to Digital. The analogue system works on a ground plain, and so the signal is stronger. THE DIGITAL SYSTEM WORKS ON THE LINE OF SIGHT, which makes this also a problem for radio stations, and television station broadcasts. If you don't believe me in regard to this , do some research. I should know as I also worked in the broadcast industry.
As I put my phone into airplane mode, all my radio's are cut off. Even bluetooth and WiFi (if I don't turn it on manually). I don't use free WiFi, because I know the dangers as a system administrator. Network tools don't give any connection, nor an IP-address on my phone. A ping from my phone doesn't give any result in "airplane mode". And I flew my drone on remote locations where there wasn't any connection or WiFi. |
