Seeing someone's video of Point of Interest and Follow Me is what made me decide to get my drone. I've had it a few weeks but haven't managed to get Follow Me to work well. I know now that the original problem was with the 3.1.2 version of the App that decided the aircraft was too far away even when it was 1meter above me! Having removed 3.1.2 and installed 3.1.1 I didn't get this error but it didn't follow me smoothly - it overshot, went off to the side, went backwards etc. but my mobile device, Hudl 2, is not supported so I have now taken ownership of a nice shiny Google Nexus 32GB 7 II (2013). It has nothing installed but GPS Status & Toolbox and Dji Go App 3.1.0, which I downloaded and installed from ApkPure. Everything works great and super fast and responsive, except Follow Me. I don't get the Aircraft too far away error and yesterday I got good GPS, remote control strength etc., flew it up just over 10metres and offset about 5 metres, went into Follow Me mode, selected the Apply button, and it told me it would follow me, with an option to Hide the Folllow Me staus panel, I walked about 20 metres and it did nothing.
I tried again today at the same location, it got a little foggy while I was there and I did get a few poor remote signal warnings, even though it was within 10 meteres and then got an error saying it couldn't follow as GPS weak, even though I had 16/23 GPS's locked according to GPS app. I treid again and got no errors, GPS and Remote showing strong signals, went into Follow Me mode, walked and it did nothing. I went back to P mode, flew it around a bit, back to Follow Me and it actually folowed me fairly smoothly for about 10 metres, I started walking back and it just stayed there, I tried to move the drone left, right, up, down and it wouldn't move, but 'bounced' a bit as if trying to move but locked. I went back to P mode and it flew OK. I may have had some warning but it's easy to miss when you're looking up at the drone. What the hell is going on here? I tried to attach the flight record but it's over 1,000K so can't!
