Hello

Has anyone experienced such problem? Camera has no error code, but lower part of the image is distorted most of the time.

It came with brand new drone - from very first minute it was distorted.

I am very much dissaponted with DJI-s quality control. They should have noticed it.

On android app distorted arrea appears purple/pink.  In file, it is just blurred area.

You may want to give a lot more details.  Is this a shot of you android or what type of SD card?  What phone or tablet you are using?  Then the next guy will say that android Is not on the approved devices list.

Thank you for reply. Yes, it is android, but file came from SD card.

On android app, the distorted area is purple.

In the file, it is just blurred.

Sometimes it shows clear picture, but most of the time distortion appears.

When I talked with tech support, they did not mention anything about Android. They asked only if I have latest firmware. Tech support was not helpful at all, and suggested that I have to send it for repair.

I am using Samsung phone GT-I9082, android version is 4.2.2

You could still have a defective micro SD card, wrong type micro SD card and a non compatible  android device

Thank you for suggestion. I will borrow it from friend. Are there any restrictions with them as well? Which model/IOS is recommended?

My first flight today and I have the same issue. Using a Samsung Tab S 8.4, android version 6.0.1 here.

I would try with a different SD Card, I can't see how the phone being used can affect this.

Am using the sd card that came with the unit. Have no issues with photos though. Seriously considering switching to an ipad mini.

SD cards can get messed up easily. Just get another one from any of your other devices, or buy one (they're not so expensive and you always need it in the end) and try again.

Problem resolved. I bought an iPad Mini 2 32gb and no more video distortion. Must've been a compatibility issue with the Samsung Tab S 8.4.

Thanks for your reply CuaC!

Exactly, the same solution worked for me, and to discover this I wasted time talking with DJI support. They know nothing about the device. One guy helped me recomending Apple device.

As I learned it the hard way - DJI would not work well with Adroid.  No Android I used was good. iPad mini works well. Video is smooth and clear. On android, even best devices can not achieve the smooth video.

So everybody out there, who want better picture - change to Apple devices.

Same problem

I dont understand why the android device afect the video that is in the SD IN the drone !

that suck

I dont want to buy apple product...

But it seems the problem is solved wen my phone memory get full . So only the video on the SD. It become smooth again

Use Litchi for android , no problems there!

This video decoding issue is clearly related to the DJI GO 4.1.18 on Android (I had exactly the same issue).
Try to reinstall the previous one (4.1.15, you have it on Apkmirror) and it will work fine. But DJI has deployed today a new Android version 4.1.22 on the market (I didn't try it yet), so maybe the issue will be resolved.
Your comment about memory full is quite interesting.

Hi

I use Android all the time. I have no trouble with the picture and the video. Same for P3S and Mavic.
In fact I use chinese phones and tablets. No appes or samsung as they are too expensive.

Just format your sd card and go to your camera settings and press defaults. Also clear your catch. Then adjust your settings if you wish.
