If you have no live view feed, ''black screen'', no video but still have the telemetry, then it is more than likely you're phone/tablets processing power.
I have the Note 20 Ultra 5g, used it so many times with the Mini 2 with no issues whatsoever until yesterday. Mate and I went for an all you can eat Chinese, then did a flight, well, I tried to, I had the dreaded black live view, telemetry was working fine, just no video coming through, I restarted the AC, didn't work, restarted the controller, didn't work, restarted all 3, didn't work. Whilst my mate and i was chucking ideas back and forth, mostly him taking the plss out of mine not working mind, it clicked, as I knew I was going to be using my phone for the drone, later on, I'd stuck the phone into power-saving mode and, amongst other things, this dropped the CPU by 30%, so whilst the phone still had 70% CPU speed, it was obviously enough to cause issues with the live view feed.

So make sure you're not in power saving mode, make sure there are no apps running taking up valuable resources and make sure your devices is actually up to the task...

Just food for thought

Ow.... good to know...

When my screen went black the telemetry was also gone.
Since the cable worked fine all occasions afterwards, I now suspect the ligtning port to have been "dirty"? like someone had before on this forum.
(do have 2 spare cables by now too, lol)

Yeah, yours was a different issue, if there is telemetry still then that's gotta be down to the device's resources at max usage
