Just got my Mavic 2 days ago. I've searched here a bit and found some talking about it but they are older posts and no real solutions...  I can't get my Samsung Note 4 to work. The camera button never shows up.

Super bummed I can't fly with my device. It's almost a deal breaker for me with DJI.  I have debugging on and mtp for USB on. Anyone have any tips on getting it working?  

I'm on vacation this week and I just want to fly so badly!

Thanks,
Mike

Have the Note EDGE (which is a Note 4 with Edge) and had no probs from the first day (except 1 or 2 app-crashes the first day).

1. Try with an original Samsung USB-Cable plugged to the bottom USB-outlet on RC

if this doesn´t clear the prob (defective DJI-cable) try:

2. Uninstall DJI GO, run SD Maid (app store), reinstall DJI GO 3 (didn´t try with DJI GO 4) and try again

Good luck

Hello, purchased used Samsung Sm-N910V (Note 4) on EBAY specifically for the Mavic. Android Version 5.0.1. I've had no issues with the limited number of flights so far.

Note 4  (SM-N910C) Android 5.1.1 - No apparent problems. Sometimes the DJI GO 4 App crashes but I guess it's not really device related since many different people reported crashes using other devices.

My Note 4 works fine, USB debugging on or off. I have Android 6.0.1, and am using DJI Go 4. I plug it in to the controller, turn the controller on, and the app starts up after a few seconds.

The only time I've had any sort of problem is occasionally if I'm flying the Mavic when the Note 4's wi-fi is on. I get warnings of poor signal quality in that case, but as soon as I switch off the Note's wifi, the warning goes away.

With my Note 4 Edge i sometimes have to reconnect the cable a couple of times. I have the original QI wireless charging cover on, so my phone is to thick. The plug has a slight angle to it when connected.

Note 4 also. Correct sequence that works: plug Note into remote, switch on remote ,wait for app to launch itself, switch on mavic. Worked like a charm from the start. I use the lower port, the upper crashes app for some reason (cable?)

Thanks All. Trying some of these suggestions now. I know the cable is ok because it works with my daughters tablet. Just dying to use my note to fly this thing! Busy day today so no time to get back here and read, then play again.

Thanks!

naaaa..nothing works. Tried it all + more based on so many others having Samsung issues over the years. Total bummer. I'd love to reset my phone to defaults and try it but that's quite a bit of a loss for me, especially if it still doesn't work. Any other suggestions are appreciated.

The cable is work with his daughters pad but may be not work with his phone.
Before reset the phone to factory, it's worth to have a try, right?

Mike,
  I also run both DJI GO & DJI GO 4 on a Note4.
I don't see the the suggestion in the threads that you sync your flights to the DJI cloud to save them,and then uninstall the DJI GO app. Sometimes a bad installation will cause errors. After you uninstall, reboot the phone. Perform a clean install of the DJI GO 4 app. The installation should configure the phone... Finally, resync your flights back to the new installation ...

Thanks all. I have tried a few cables, including the one it comes with and the one controller charges with. It works fine with both of those on my daughters tablet. I've ruled out the cable being an issue...

Today, I installed DJI GO 4 for the first time. I didn't know about it so I have been trying with regular DJI GO. So, the 4 was brand new and still, it doesn't work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times. It doesn't help. Still works fine on my daughters tablet. Also tried my WORK cell phone, which is an iphone 6s and it works fine.(It's my device ONLY)

Since many are ok without changes I'm sure it's my device and NOT DJI. Just trying to figure it out at this point is difficult because it's ME, and not DJI. I've been debating a tablet JUST for the drone but didn't really want to ADD to my investment this soon...;) (My wife doesn't want me to add anymore $$$ to it either) She already thinks I'm crazy.(Maybe she is right? hehe)

I did get to fly twice now with the work iphone and it was GREAT!!!!

Thank again. Anyone else who has a tip, I'll take it! Would love to use my note 4...

do you have power saving option on or any app killer applications running.sometimes it takes mine a minute to connect to the app.also will your phone connect to a computer just fine that would eliminate the micro usb port.i had a phone once where the micro usb port had corrosion in it and would only work sometimes.i used a small needle and scraped the corrosion off of it with a fine touch.

Thanks. No corrosion. Doesn't get noticed by a computer so I'm not trying to figure that out. Once solved I'll try the magic again. I think this IS the right path! I'll be back in touch soon!!!! Thanks!!!

I found this. you can try and turn it on and off to see if that helps

1.Go to the phone's dialer, enter ##366633# and hit CALL.
2.A menu will come up with 2 options: Enable DM Mode and Disable DM Mode.
3.Select Disable DM Mode and exit out by hitting the HOME key.
4.NOW connect your phone to the PC, pull down the notification panel and press Connect as a Media Device.
5.Select MTD and enjoy

Go to your app manager and clear defaults for DJI Go and DJI Go 4
When you turn the RC on, your phone (with screen unlocked etc) should ask you to choose an app to open with this device (the RC) ... select DJI Go 4

can you post a screenshot of what it looks like ? - Press the power and home button together for a screenshot

went to each and the "clear defaults" button is greyed out for both...

If his computer wont recognize his phone there has to be something wrong with the micro usb or the software on the phone could be corrupt.you can head over to xdadevolpers forums under your version phone and see if they can help.

I'm the only owner of the phone. It USED TO work when connecting to the PC. Not sure what happened but it's definitely something with my device. I'm due for a new phone so I may just get a new phone soon and reset this one and use it for the drone only. Resetting it now is just a hassle.
