Hi all, just a heads up, i have search the forum regarding this isssue and tried the solutions but nothing seem to work.

So up untill 5 days ago my Mavic 2 Pro RC connected fine to DJI Go 4 App on my note 8 without any issues, as off today, i'm unable to connect it to the DJI Go 4 App on the note 8 at all. The rc connects to the drone but just not to the DJI Go 4 App.

I have tried: With no luck
1 - both cable ports (one at a time)
2 - used different cables
3 - uninstalled dji go 4, reinstalled it again
4 - switched note 8 on and off.
5 - disable enable developer options for debugging etc.
6 - rolled back the firmware of the rc and drone

I have tried: With luck (connected to dji go 4)
1 - Iphone
2 - A different android device (Much older device)

Please has anybody encountered this with mavic 2 pro and note 8? How did you fix it? Or do you have any suggestions on how i can fix this please. As its making my Mavic 2 pro a very expensive paper weight at the moment.

I am using S9 NOTE which is a level higher than S8 Note ,we all know DJI drones are not born to marry with Android phones and creates itsy ,bitsy problems.I am some times expering signal, lost or DJG GO 4 back to home screen in mid flight which is scary to me and I have no permanent solution for this yet. Connection from to phone and aircraft is ok (so far), my only quess may be Android OS latest update may causing your issue.

Unfortunately can't tell what your #5 means, you need to turn on USB Debugging for the GO 4 app to work on the Note8.

1) On your Note8, go to Settings.
2) At the bottom, select About Phone
3) Select Software Information
4) 5th down is Build Number... Tap repeatedly on Build number seven (7) times. If you have security enabled, you will have to authorize Developer Mode....
5) Back up two levels, back to Settings and a new menu item has been added at the bottom -> Select Developer Options
6) Scroll down to Debugging and enable USB debugging.
7) Close settings and restart GO4 if needed...

Good luck and let us know if that works for you...

Hi PhoenixKing MJ, our apologies for the inconvenience. Please try to enable USB debugging under Developer options. You can refer on the attachment below. You can also try to open DJI Go 4 app again, go to "Me" option which is located on the lower left side of your screen and the tap on the cogwheel and make sure to Enable  USB Developer option (USB Debugging). Please keep me posted if the issue persists,thanks.

I'm really sorry to hear that. May I know the current android version you are using? You can try to update your android version so that we can isolate the issue. If it is convenient for you, kindly provide a short video showing the issue so that I can check it on my end. You can upload it by using google-drive or Dropbox and provide the link here. Thanks for your support.

Try this procedure
Power off Note 8
Connect Note 8 to RC
Switch controller on
Switch Note 8 on
Check Go 4 running
Switch drone on.

This is the only way to get my Tab S2 to connect, hopefully will work for you.

I had a note 8 aswell, had lots of connection problems too.
on stock, I couldn't connect aswell. what fixed it for me was the following;

Uninstall DJI Go app from your phone, then reinstall.

Install DJI Go while your note 8 is connected to the controller.

(I think it asks for something about the USB after installing, just authorise)

Then if the DJI Go app hasn't started up already, start it up.

You still can't connect at this point, pull down the notification bar, it should show the usb connection modes.

Press it and switch to something like 'charge only'. Check DJI app if it did connect now.

If it didn't, switch the charge only back to what it was, still not? try other options.

This fixed my problem, hope it works for you too. Keep note! I used custom roms on my rooted note 8, most of the custom roms gave alot of problems with the DJI Go app.

Hi, so it turns out it might be an issue with my phone somehow. Why i say this is that, normally if i connect my phone to my pc, my pc detects it as a flash drive and i can interact with the phone that way. But i just noticed that plugging my phone into the pc, it no longer gives me that option it only chargers the phone but i cannot acces the sd card or the internal memory of the phone like a flash drive anymore. This leads ne to believe that there may be an issue with my usb-c port on my phone or the latest update caused an issue with data transfer over usb-c port. Will have to take my phone to the shop to have it checked out. Thanx for all the help everyone amd sorry for waisting anyone's time with this.

Have you changed the settings for the USB port of Note 8?
It might have changed to charging only on update.
