PLEASE DJI!

In Austria i can only use 5.8 ghz connection to Spark, my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is not possible to connect 5.8 ghz to the controller so i can only use the shorter 5.8ghz.This is useless, because the 5.8 ghz Wlan connection to the rc is not Working because of the rules.So please make the OTG option official!

Thank you!
Greetings Dan

Sorry,  but you are speaking to a wall.. We try many times to get attention in this forum from mods but nothing....Its a problem that needs to be fixed...We encourage users that have problem with Wi-Fi in EU to make a bug report from the dji go app...maybe this is the only way to fix our problem....Dont wait anything from this forum kr the moderators...they are bots with always the same fixed answers....sory...this is the truth....

Hmm... I found it hard to believe for the flagship 2016 Samsung phone not to support 5.8 GHz WiFi and sure enough, according to the specs I found on GSMarena, its WiFi is listed as dual-band. Are you sure your smartphone is functioning properly? Have you tried connecting to the "normal" 5.8 GHz WiFi network hosted by a home router?

EDIT:
I have done some reading and only now learned that Austria has adopted some special regulations that limit the 5 GHz channels available to only a subrange of what's generally available in most other countries. I didn't know that, sorry!

Are you aware that you can manually switch the frequency from 5.8 to 2.4 after turning on the spark and before take off when not using the OTG. You will have to do it at the start of every flight but it only takes seconds - tap 2.4 and the channels pop up in the bar graph - select the channel with the lease noise on the channel index list underneath and follow the on screen prompt - this will switch your frequency.

Flying wifi now has gotten a lot better, I never used to trust flying wifi since after the last update it is better than OTG now.

Please notice that OTG is not suggested now, I would recommend you use WIFI to connect your spark instead.

Tell us Elektra, how to connect to 5.8ghz in Europe when you've set to illegal channel?

From DJI support: "You are not the only one that has mentioned this and engineering is aware of the issue.  Your only option is the OTG cable.  We do support the OTG for our goggles.".

So you guys need to agree what you support or not support. Officialy OTG is no go, unofficialy you are keeping that otherwise you would hit by massive recall in EU.

Dji Elektra, the Sparks range is very Poor in Europe a
On 5.8 ghz, 2.4 rc to spark connection is useless for us here in europe, because we dont can use it! No connection possible between the rc N the smartphone because of the 5.8 ghz illegal channels. Wifi of the rc is not shown!! Please do anything thats realy bad.
