I have a Mavic Pro (new) and with my Samsung Galaxy 8s everything works great. To not tie up my phone I purchased a Samsung Tablet A 7" (android v. 5.1.1 Lollipop). Finally got the app to allow me to log in. Connecting everything up I got a message that an upgrade was required. I ran it and got DJI v.  01.04.0200 after several attemps and about an hour. Went to fly the drone and kept getting a "NO SIGNAL" warning from controller to drone, at only 20 feet up. Retried several times, same issue. Put my phone in the controller and it worked perfectly for several minutes. Are there any suggestions as to a fix or what is a good 7 or 8 inch tablet to use? Android or Apple. Thanks

I purchased the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8" Tablet a few months ago and had to return it since it did not work properly with my Mavic Pro. Too Frustrating. I ended up by purchasing the Huawei MediaPad 8" also from Amazon. I purchased a used one "like new" for $199. I thought it was new when I took out of the box.They are a little pricey but it works great.

Thanks so much. That kind of confirms what I've been thinking all day. I bought mine at Wal-Mart just two days ago and they said I could return it. I did a factory reset which took all my info off and returned all the original back on. I've since watched many YouTube videos and I'm going to bight the bullet and buy an Apple iPad 4. That seems to be the most compatible with a fast screen. Thanks so much for the first hand feed back.

I have a tab A7 that works fine and smooth but on GO4 .09, any update above .09 are just unusable (from .10 to .22).
