Hey everyone. I am not a brain surgeon but after having the same No Video on the phone problem shortly after my Vision 2+ was new, and having to send it back, waiting at least 6 weeks, I decided this time I am getting to the bottom of the problem myself. Its not under warranty so I might as well figure out what is going on by process of elimination. DJI does not seem to help identify what worked for me, or want to stand behind their product any longer than necessary.
I have the Vision 2+ and have always used a Galaxy 5S. I was having good results from the craft, video and photo, and put it away for about 3 to 4 weeks. When I tried using again, no video on the Galaxy 5. Just a black screen. I went through all the checks everyone recommends, however more important, read what everyone has been writing for a long time. My problem was no different than theirs so why should I just copy their frustration? I also wondered why you would need to change any settings if the results were great when put away. That made no sense and just a cop out for why the screen was black. Something had failed.
Although it still did not make sense why it worked when put away, but did not when activated the next time, it came down to replacing the WIFI module. The information was not getting to the phone. The range extender was working, I could take videos and photos, yet something had failed in the transmission. I took the advise of another owner and contacted Dronesplus.com and purchased another WIFI module. They are not cheap but the Vision is worthless not working. I have to say, Dronesplus was great about shipping the part right away and I received it within 3 or 4 days even though I am across the country. I have to say they were great to deal with.
After replacement, follow you tube videos, its working great! I have flown it only a few times but its working great. For me, the module was the problem. Nobody wants to break down and spend nearly $200 for a part but for me, it made sense that was the problem. Also, when the Vision was sent to the factory under warranty for the same problem, I could tell that is what they replaced. I won't say it will take care of everyone but if a couple people try and have the same results, I think we have figured out what the factory will not tell us.
One more comment. Heat and electronics do not get along. I recommend not running the drone any longer than necessary without flight. Take off as soon as possible and shut down as soon as possible. The airflow produced by the blades helps to cool the metal casing under the dome. When downloading photos and videos, remove the micro SD card. Don't use the cable and power the drone. Any sitting time causes heat that is not doing any good.
I hope this helps someone else. I hate to see anyone spend good cash replacing parts but you have spent good cash top buy a craft that does not work. I hope the Vision 3 has this problem resolved. I just ordered one! Wish me luck.
