RC, OTG, Android and DJI GO4 are not working well together. that means not showing you all the telemetry data.
the OTG cable seems to work fine with iOS.
if you want to use OTG (this is the cable to connect phone and remote) with Android then you need to downgrade the DJI GO4 app to .15 version

by the way, DJI is not recommending using an OTG cable as it was not fully tested. try connecting RC with Phone via WiFi and see if you can read all the telemetry data including GPS.

You won't get certain data from the App using OTG cable. Connect Phone to RC Wifi and all data will be present

I don't know why they omitted OTG (though it works in iOS but still not recommended). Mine flies fine with the RC's Wifi. Use Airplane mode too. if in residential area you may get errors on the App or it may go to ATTI mode for a few moments. If it stays in ATTI mode for any reason, switch to Sport mode on the controller and that will help you fly back.

Winds can be 20x stronger at higher altitudes. Use the App UAV Forecast, and set to altitudes you plan on flying in. Fly out upwind to ensure you have enough to get the aircraft back safely.

Please try to connect your mobile device to the RC wirelessly, see if it works. if it persists, please provide some screenshots or a short video about this issue for better assistance.
