this works on the inspire 1 also..
Manually relink the aircraft to the RC using the following:

* Turn on both the aircraft and the controller.
* Press C1, C2, and the record button on the controller, then the controller will beep like D-DD.
*Let go all fingers, press the wheel on the right side of the controller and then the first light of the controller will become blue and it will constantly beep DDDD.
* Use a pen to click the linking button on the aircraft and hold for 3-5 seconds, and then take the pen off the aircraft and wait, it will be linked soon.

You should have an option on your phone for the usb port. change it to "media-transfer protocol" instead of "charging". that may be why it will not connect. The remote is not intended to charge you phone or whatever device you connect with. Good luck.

Post 7 gives some nice tips. It could be a bad USB port ?  maybe you have a friend that has an iPad or iPhone that you can try. This might help you see if the other devices can connect
Anyway the manual linking process should work and doesn't require a device. But it might not work it you have not activated the drone.

Could you happen to provide a short video of how it's behaving? Are both the RC and aircraft updated firmware wise? If you updated recently, which component did you update first?

The flashing yellow LED means the drone is not connected to the remote controller. From the information you have told us, is sounds like the remote needs to be relinked to the Phantom.  I gave you this information on post #2.  If the USB is faulty, then the phone or device will not connect. When starting the Go App, you need to select the Phantom from the home page. When you turn on the remote, the Go App will see that it is a Phantom remote automatically.

Even if you cannot use the device with the remote, you can link the Phantom using the manual relinking process.

If you are facing the drone, with the camera facing you, look on the LEFT side of the drone, toward the back leg. Just above the gimbal.  You should see a RED LED light.  There's a small pin hole right in front of it.
Take a straightened out paperclip, and poke up in there, you'll feel a button when you do.  Press and hold that button for 3 seconds.  This should make the LED blink.
Now, turn your remote control on.  Press and hold the Power button for 10 seconds.   You're GREEN light should turn BLUE, and you'll also start to hear beeping!
Now, you should look at the light on the drone.  If its still blinking.. Thats good.  If not, press and hold the button with the paperclip again.

A few seconds later, you're remote should stop beeping, the blue light will turn GREEN, and all should be good to go.

thank you for the quick reply i did what you said but holding the power button on my controller doesnt do anything i guesse you want me to connect the controller with the aircraft i did that already multiple times by pressing c1+c2+record and then pressing the gimbal button but that only makes the light on the drone (led light) turn greed and red and on my controller rapid green and red lights

my drone is an Advanced as well.

If you're getting flickering green/red on the remote, then, there's a problem with the remote.
Only fix so far is to get another one.  Or send it in for repair.
eBay, I've been able to buy a few.  Around $80ish bucks for a good one.
Make sure you get a GL300-C..  A, B will work as well.  But, the C seems to give best range.

Are you using DJI batteries?  Or knock offs?

If you updated to 1.11.20, there was a battery patch as well, and, it make a lot of the NON-DJI batteries not function anymore.  You could connect to your craft, however, it would pop up a message letting you know its a NON-DJI battery, and wouldn't let you fly your drone at all.   It would however, turn on, warm up, and do the gimbal startup, but once you hit the take-off button, it would just set there.
