I received my Spark (refurbished) this afternoon and set it up earlier tonight after charging the batteries. The night before, I had already downloaded the app and created an account. It's the fly more package, so I connected the phone to the RC wifi hotspot. Got the video feed through the app on my Android phone, so far so good, all devices talking to each other. So then I tried Activating using the QR code. Of course that didn't work, not a surprise from what I've read about using the QR code. It said something about connecting to the aircraft wifi manually, so I disconnected the phone from the RC wifi and reconnected to the aircraft wifi hotspot. Right away it updated the aircraft firmware, and the drone "rebooted" on its own when that was finished. Video feed worked fine upon reconnecting the phone to the drone, so I checked the firmware through the About page on the app to confirm it was the latest (900). So far so good. At this point, I tried going through Activation again, but scanning the QR code still didn't work. I tried scanning the code on the hard case, and on the RC. Kept saying the QR code was malformed or not a real QR code. I disconnected the phone from the aircraft wifi and reconnected to the RC unit's wifi, then tried Activation again with no success scanning the QR.
After all this, the phone, RC, and aircraft are all connecting just fine, I just can't seem to enter the Activation process where it asks to rename the craft, ask which RC mode to use, etc. I had to go into the app settings to manually set the name, mode, etc. There is no *confirmation* of Activation at any point. I've heard the motors won't even spin if it's not activated, but I can't spin up the motors in the house, and it's midnight so taking it outside isn't an option.
Another interesting item of note, is that at the top of the app, I'm getting a notice that says I activated less than 48 hours ago, so I can still apply for the DJI care option. It actually said that since the first time I connected everything to the phone.
So, is this thing activated or not? Thanks.
PS: The forum will not allow me to change my username. I've only been able to change the avatar picture. Email address is confirmed. When I try to change the username, red text appears above the text box saying I'm not logged in, then redirects me to the login page where I'm immediately and automatically logged into the forum again. Any ideas about that? I tried on 3 different web browsers.
