I tried to use the Follow Me Mode on my P3 PRO for the first time yesterday, but then i noticed a RED error pop-ing on the DJI GO app, telling me that the GPS on the device is not found and cannot integrate IMU data. The P3 stays in position then, without following me.

I own a Dual boot Android/Windows tablet with a GPS receiver in Adroid 5.x mode, and the GPS is ON (in high precision mode), I had enough satellite in view and I tested the google map to verify that my position was correctly read.


It's pretty like the DJI GO app doesn't recognize the GPS I have aboard. Analyzing the flight log I didn't found much than the obvious:


P10m 07s58.1 ft34 ftTipEnter Follow Me mode.__Exit F-Mode to end Intelligent Navigation Modes.
Q10m 07s58.1 ft35 ftModeMode changed to 25
R10m 07s58.1 ft35 ftWarningNo sensor is found on the mobile device. Cannot integrate IMU data.



Any idea? Others functions are working fine, the app is smooth and I'm not having any other issue apart this.


Link to my tablet: http://www.e-tab.it/e-tab-3g-3/
It should be a rebranded version of the TECLAST X98 AIR II.

I have the same issue with my galaxy tab 4 4G 8.0 (wifi ON) running Android 5.1. Interestingly, the follow-me mode works with my galaxy s4 (wifi ON). Not sure what's going on but I suspect it's a compatibility issue - although that would make little sense since both units have built-in, working GPS?  Let's let DJI give a definitive answer....

It would be a shame, since i had already two tablets without the GPS, and i bought this one with GPS specifically to use with the Phantom!

When you say you're having the same issue, it is exactly the one described in the first post, including the error message? (on the device it was something like: "..cannot stream the data..", I don't remember atm)? I'm asking to be sure that it is a firmware bug then (it doesn't recognize that particular type of GPS) and not something else.
Thanks.

Actually it's quite the opposite: it's your APP to not be compatible with those devices , including a common one apparently (Galaxy Tab 3).
The GPS on those devices is recognized by every Android app, except yours, so it's clearly a software problem, rather than a hardware issue.

My question is: if your app is having trouble to recognize the GPS on some device, what about correcting the bugs in your software instead of suggesting people to buy another device that have costed to me 250€ just to be used with your hardware?
Should we put our devices in the trash bin, and buy some others, because you couldn't check and fix your app.. or what?

Thank you.

I'm having the exact same problem as the OP, using a Samsung Galaxy Tab A with a P3 Pro.  Follow Me worked fine on 1.4, has quit working on 1.5.

Sorry for the crappy photo of my screen, but you can see it's telling me I have a strong GPS signal from the device.

Dear friend that represent DJI you must realize that since we've payed 1400 euro i believe that this racistic behavior in different tablets is wrong. I have the samsung tab E which is the best of kind but unfortunately you do not concluse it in compatible devices and as a result we have to buy another tablet which costs enough money also..... I am very sorry for that tragic marketing plan of yours. It is awfull the most of the time to accept this kind of behavior from you

I have a Sony Xperia Z3, and I have a similar problem with the Follow Me mode. My error message is: Device not support GPS, unable to start Follow Me.
I'm upgraded the new version of everything (RC, Cam, Helo), and it's still the same. I hope in the next verison will fix it too.

Good afternoon

I'm facing exactly same issue with my Phantom 3 Pro + tablet Samung Galaxy Tab E (SM-T560)
(No sensor found on the mobile device. Cannot integrate IMU data)
That's a pity because I choose the DJI Phantom 3 especially for this "Follow me" function

An idea about when the next firmware or next App update will be released ?

Thanks in advance for your support

Same issue with mine (Tab 3V). It must be a compatibility issue that the said tablet cannot support compass app somewhat. But when I switch to iPhone, the follow-me & course-lock worked. I assumed its about lacking a sensor that supports compass. If I tried loading a compass app from google play, the compass won't work. Just a hunch...

Thanks Patick for the answer.
With my brand new tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab E, I cannot modify Gains, Yaw:
If I change the value from 0,4 to 0,37 the new value is writen in red and if I close and reopen the window the value is back to 0,4

Additionnal question:  
If I use my iPhone and modify these value, will the value be stored inside the RC ?
If yes, when I will use again my Samsung tablet, will the value be restored to the default value or will I keep the modifications I made with the iPhone ?

kind regards
Franck

I am getting the same error  with follow me mode.home lock and POI are ok! but I bought the P3 and was looking forward to 'follow me'feature! I even bought a new Sony Experia C5 ULTRA . lollipop 5.1 etc good specs but why the app doesn't work and when we get updates n fix!?? GPS signal is reported STRONG .and google maps ,OSMAND app etc are spot on with my location even without WIFI!
after spending $350 for a new phone I second this: !!

"actually it's quite the opposite: it's your APP to not be compatible with our brand new devices " and not the other way round!

their answer is lame ! new phone and top specs !they blame it on the phone........ GPS works like a charm! follows every step i make on Maps ,OSMAND app, etc etc...  DJI you need to provide a working app selling your products!here their answer! :

Home lock ,COURSE LOCK, and POI are using the GPS on the aircraft, which is much more stronger than the GPS on the mobile device; and the GPS signal info on the DJI GO App is showing the GPS signal of the aircraft.
While Follow me is using the mobile device's GPS, 'GPS on the device is not found and cannot integrate IMU data.' refers to that the mobile device's GPS signal is not strong enough for positioning; therefore for safety concern, our aircraft would restrict to use this feature.
