I was just out flying in the 90 degree heat of Massachusetts and my iPad Mini 4 overheated and eventially shut down. When it cooled a little I turn it back on, but I could not reconnect to the v2. The v2 stil flew great, but only in the P-mode even when I switch to the S-mode or Atti-mode. My question you all, is there any way to reconnect the to the DJi 4 go App while still in flight?

The DJI GO app should have auto reconnected after you restarted your iPad Mini and launched DJI GO.

For flying in hot weather, it'll help if you fly in the shade and remove your iPad Mini from its case (if you're using a case).

Hi thanks for reaching DJI Forum, we do apologize if you are having issues with the app while running on your iPad Mini 4, can you remember if there's an open application (s) while on that flight?

Tablet computers were never designed to be super computers. Flying puts the processing resources to their maximum level, full time, so the heat generated by that full-out CPU usage is going to be more than the tablet was designed to dissipate.

The Mini was in total shutdown, which cleared all apps from memory. I had to power on the Mini and restart the DJi app.
