Help!  Yesterday all was well, but today there is massive video lag say 5 secs, and complete picture break up on phone and tablet at a few feet away before take off which is now not possible.
When rc is removed, wifi to device picture  is ok but very poor range,  only a few metres.
Now useless,not aware of update being done, but I gather there's one imminent?
Spark now useless.

Bluetooth switched on? This can cause major problems like lag and disconnects

also I've found that rebooting your device (phone or tablet) have fixed issues for me in the past.  Secondly, as stated by LeChuck71 try to disable 'bluetooth'

Thaks for info. I knew there was imminent update. How do I establish the software level currently  on my go4 app please? Sounds like this is most likely cause of my problem.

Well uninstalled apps from phone and tablet. Phone now seems ok, but tablet still useless. Max height and distance resets to zero every  time it's launched. Seems corruption has got me.

Looks that way. But 4 1 10 is perhaps the new update pending?
I have been I think on 4 1 9 which has been reasonable till today.
But as you say apple might be a better solution. At present I can't use it at all.

New update must have been insalled I didn't know about. Samsung tablet now works perfectly with otg. It offers you auto opening of the app as sonn as you connect device. No wifi nvolved. Must be supporting it I assume.
Aso you cn now choose gps, vps or atti mode at will.
Still no use on wifi but not much loss to me.
Curiously still works on wifi with my motorola phone. Calibrating imu does not give green reading for gyro, so still guessing still guessing here. Also no choice to set wifi from rc to a/c to 2.4.

From whom are you  asking for date. Me or fans3bdf8dd2c3?
If it's me there is no flight data because I can't take off, because the lag is huge and the picture ripped apart.

Sorry for the late response. Did you try to change a mobile device?
Any error message from your app? Please ensure that your app and drone is the latest version.
If the problem still exists, can you provide a screenshot or a video about this situation.

I just bought a Spark yesterday, but the video clip captured didn't look good at all.. Many distortions, couldn't watch the entire clips. Is using a mirco Sd card on the Spark, a must have?  In order to capture good quality videos, because I didn't use Sd card, video was stored in my phone after videoing using Spark.

You need an sd card for full quality. I think phone data is relly just for reviewing shots on the fly.

You should test the Google pixel line as well. Sometimes my videos would stop recording suddenly. App also crashes too. But other than that I've been flying good. Please add the Google Pixel line.

Please follow the advice in 25# and put SD card in it. The resolution of video will be higher in SD card. Thanks for understanding.

TyronP, thanks for sharing this information. I would forward it to our engineers but the crash may also related to the performance of the phone. And we can not improve the system of the device in that case.

Phone has great performance. So you can optimize it better if tested. Thanks

You guys should think of getting a performance phone to fly. Don't blame the App. I got myself the Mate 9 and no lag or app crashe. Previously using Nexus 6, I have App crashes. And I always have screen recording on too when flying. Huawei Mate 9 is highly recommended and its one of the DJI supported phone.
