Just got a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 to replace my aging S3, which I've used to fly my Mini 2 around my house with the DJI Fly app for the last 2 years. I do not live in a restricted or no-fly zone, though the  Orlando International airport no-fly zone is a mile or so away. I've always been able to fly up to 400 feet from my yard.

But when I tried to fly with my new tablet, I get an error message saying "Before you fly -  No fly spots available nearby". I tapped all over the screen and get no response; the app is frozen.

Location service is on, and the DJI Fly app has location permission. I'm trying to fly from a starting location I've used many times before.
When I first tried to fly with the new tablet it was connected to a VPN; I thought that might have been the problem but got the same result after disconnecting.

The S9 tablet isn't on the DJI compatibility list, but neither is my S3 and it worked fine before it died last week.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Surely I don't have to downgrade my tablet in order to use my drone?

Did you update firmware or the flysafe thing ? What version of the app is installed on the tablet ?
First thing I'd do is uninstall the app, go to
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/dji-technology-co-ltd/dji-fly/
download an older version of the app, install it and try it, if you do that can you fly?

I have the DJI Fly app installed on my Galaxy S9 Ultra tablet and it is working without issue.  I'm running Fly App version 1.13.10.  I believe the S9 and S9 ultra tablets both have Qualcomm SM8550-AC Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processors so you should be able to run the Fly app also.

That's encouraging. Hopefully my problem is in my tablet's settings. I started with Fly App version 1.13.10, and also tried 1.13.9 and 1.13.8 with the same results.

It would be nice if someone from DJI could explain exactly what triggers this particular error message to narrow down my search for the problem.

Still no joy. Does DJI provide no support for their products?

Did you ever get this working with the Galaxy Tab 9?

I did, with DJI Fly 1.14.2. It doesn't work quite the same as the version I had on my now-defunct Galaxy Tab S3, which let me start up the app and install software and controller firmware updates in the house where there's no GPS signal (a nice feature in the Florida summer). This seems like a pointless design flaw, IMHO. But it does install and run, and I've flown my drone with it.

Was this the s9 FE?

No, it's not. It's this one.

Thanks very much for your replies. Very helpful.

I've got a question.  Im using the Tab s9 plus and downloaded apk of dji fly app several times (different versions) but every time the app is frozen on the first screen( Before you fly) (Locating)

My S9 did the same thing until DJI Fly 1.14.2. It finally started working properly after I installed that version.

Hope that helps.
