Do I need to have this active with my cell number??  How would it acquire GPS without??  I have downloaded the app via wifi but it won't open.  Wondering if it is looking for a cell connection??  Thx  Bolton

No you don't need a phone number for a dedicated device. But what drone are you using it with?

A Phantom 3 Standard?

Hi, Tridiver. Did you try to reinstall the app? Please tell me the model of your device. Please download it from the official app store. You don't have to active the cell number but you need a DJI account.

GPS has nothing to do with the Internet or cell reception, it is a totally seperate system. The aircraft has a GPS receiver built into it, and uses that GPS system for navigation, not the one in your phone or tablet. You will need to be able to reach the Internet when you download, setup and register the aircraft, but that can be done via WiFi from your tablet to your home WiFi system. After that, you will need to login to the DJI servers via the App and from then on you will not need any Internet connection. What tablet did you buy?

I hope the LG works for you, there is only one LG model on the approved list, and I don't think it is your version. For the P3P you need to install the Go App, not the Go4 version. If it does not open, that does not look good.
