this shouldn't be a criticism of DJI. The S20 Plus and S20 Ultra have been on the market for a while and have not yet run with the FlyApp.
It can take a while for the S21 to run.

I had an S20 ultra and that one worked like shine!
I have to be patient. I will!

The same issue with S21 (Exynos) - live stream while recording 4K works only in case of 24fps set.

What I liked is that their saying "testing compatibility "  I don't have the Mimi2 like you can see but I do fly my Air2 with a Tab s3 which is great and like mentioned your responsible for your drone so Care free may not work for DJI or who ever is flying.

I have the S21 and have the same issue whilst in 4K mode. If i reduce to 2.7k then all is good. What i did find that even though the screen was frozen it did record the flight (only tried this for 5 seconds). DJI really needs to push out another firmware upgrade. Having to use my old Huawei in the meantime!!

Do you have the exynos version or the snapdragon (it was already confirmed that issue is only with exynos version), cause I have tried today with the same 1.3 version and firmware update on mini 2, still no video on 4k 25fps and 30 fps.

It records the video, but the image is frozen while recording. So not good for flying.

For me, I can shoot in 4k but only with 24fps.

if i change to 25 or 30fps image is frozen

DJI Stephen Posted at 2-1 21:30
Hello there Daannie. I am sorry for the trouble this has caused and thank you for reaching out. Rest assured that this thread will be forwarded to our DJI R&D Team for further attention and in addition rest assured that DJI is continuously testing multiple mobile devices to be added on the recommended mobile device list for different DJI Drone and for the DJI Fly application.. Again I am sorry and thank you.

Can we get an ETA for a fix? It is a shame that the only solution you provide is that we purchase a cheaper device to work with DJI drones, when your solution should be, "we are working on fix to be released ASAP"

I'm really disappointed with they customers are being treated. I speak for myself that I feel that DJI does not listen to the community.

This issue should have been fixed by now.

Sorry about that, yes I do have the Snapdragon chipset. Just confirming (not needed) that the Samsung exynos chipset has some more differences . Has anyone let Samsung know or checked on their forum for any post? that  there are some more glitches and is DJI R&D making any head way?
Not everyone can go out  and get an additional device.

I wish they were doing something to solve it. It was reported as soon as the device came out. Moderators only advise to purchase a new device.

So the snapdragon version has no issues. Interesting. I can still use 4k @ 24fps. But the problem is you loose signal and app crashes. I was really hopeful when I saw the notification for new fly app version. But unfortunately it didn't fix it. I just hope dji fix this soon.

I guess you're right in that! I wait until the S21 ultra with Exynos processor is listed. Until then I use my old S8

I don't know if you noticed but they haven't even listed s20 ultra yet.

this will never get fixed probably....the issues with exynos versions are since the beginning of the dji fly app. on my s8+ and note 8 app crashed, even crashed phone regularly on losing signal ,etc. this was with mini an year ago and on until i switched to to mini 2 and got an iphone. Seeing it happen with s21 i'm mostly certain they have no clue how to fix it, so i wouldn't put my hopes up. It is like that, hope they will at least get the 4k work, but don't expect it very soon...

Dji response is buy a compatible phone, they are not worried if your premium device is compatible or not, they don't want the trouble, so it is up to us to do something about, I'll look into possibilities for legal actions, my cousin works in a law firm and is talking to his colleagues about it.

Because taking DJI to court will be cheaper than buying a phone that IS on their compatibility list?
"The basis of our case is that DJI doesn't say this phone is compatible, and it isn't"
DJI don't stand a chance.

Just to make things clear;
- This issue only occurs on the Exynos chipset
- This issue only occurs with 4k25fps and 4k30fp
- 4k24fps DOES work
- S21 with Snapdragon DOES work for all frame rates

I have the S21 5G Exynos and i never had signal losses or app crashes on 4k24fps

I have the same problem. S21 Ultra Exynos version. If DJI do not fix this issue, I must return my drone to amazon. Refund the money.

I honestly do not care that the phone is very new, DJI must support the most popular phones of the most common brands.

Dji has a lot of money and a lot of resources, he can buy the top of the range phone of each brand, and adapt his software.


Also the problem cannot be the phone, but some internal configuration of the app.

If I use the same version of the app 1.3.0 (928) with the Mavic Air 2, and the same phone (s21 Ultra) the application is perfect and does not freeze when recording in 4k and 30fps. So it is shown that it is not the fault of the phone, but of the part of the app that controls the mini 2.

My question is now: what processor you have.  A Snapdragon or Exynos...?

Interesting.
Are you sure you're not running 24fps on the mavic air? Would be a very weird bug if it's specifically related to the mini 2 camera/processing... Good luck with debugging that..

My S21 Ultra processor is Exynos.

Totally sure that with the Mavic AIR 2 and the app 1.3.0 (928) I can fly and record video perfectly at 4K and 30 fps without the image freezing on the S21 Ultra.

So it is clear that it is a software problem of the app, in the module that controls the mini 2. As I said using the same app and the same phone to control the AIR 2 works perfectly.

Say that both the AIR 2, the Mini 2 and the S21 Ultra, all are in the latest version of Firmware.

Encountered the same thing. Using a S21 Ultra with Exynos proc. screen freezes when recording in 4k 30fps and 25fps. Only works on 24fps
No issues with the other resolution 2.7K or 1080. Any idea when the S21 Ultra will be compatible with it?

Hello, I have the same problem with my new Samsun S21ultra. It is absolutely not acceptable to have this problem with a new device. It is important to correct the situation quickly.   I also have a problem with saving photos or video in cache mode. The photo / video is only accessible via the SD card. Pathetic.
