Any Ideas.

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro to use with my Phantom. However, the place I bought the Phantom said it wont work with Andriods newest version 4.4.2.

Will DJI do an update to fix this or should I return the Tablet????

The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro is not listed as a supported device in the manual.
Samsung Galaxy S3, S4, Note 2 and Note 3 are supported.
Looks like you will have to wait for a new version of the app, or swap it for one of the supported devices.

Ideally Android wouldn't have pushed an update that breaks existing applications but they did this time and it's breaking a fair number of existing apps.  Right now the number of devices running 4.4.2 is minimal but within a short time that will change and as other vendors will need to update their apps so will DJI be expected to do the same.

I agree that it might not be soon enough for your device but I also wouldn't expect it to be too long, your just a bit ahead of the adoption curve.

Note: I have heard of some people working just fine and I've read at least one place where the issue isn't the Android OS but more that Android removed the ability to turn off the setting in WIFI that ignores WIFI connections that cannot connect to the internal (which, the Phantom can't do).  I don't have a 4.4 device so I cannot comment directly, that is just what I've read.  If that is the case then there isn't going to be much DJI can do since the Android OS if the one deciding to allow (or not) the WIFI connection to be maintained.

I use my Samsung galaxy note 10.1 tablet occasionally with the v+, after months of no updates I Googled updates for it and saw there was an update but had to be done manually, I did it with the instructions from the website and now have a tablet running on 4.4.2 and now have the dji app installed too. All works okay up to now.

dave Yes it does.  On the Google Playstore you will see that it tells you to go to a website to download.

I'm using my PV2+ v3 with Asus 700 and 701 tablets (Android 4.4.2) and it works very well. The only thing is when I'm near at my wlan-router it's tries to make a connection to it, but after reconnection to my Phantom it works again. BTW: On my Archos80 G9 (Android 4.0.4) it works too, but I don't use it for the Phantom because it's too slow to handle the video.
