DJI collecting flight data to their server through App?

[avark]

Anyone see this recently?

The following article is about a month old and is about DJI collecting data off the DJI App through your DJI account to be stored on their server. I have a P2 without uplink, but maybe the drone downloads "stuff" whenever I hook it up to the Assistant. Don't know. But all of you with the DJI Go App, might find this interesting....

Just keep your device in airplane mode.

You bet they do, check in the folder DJI/djipilot/cash, there is all types of folders with logs even a NFZ log and the best is a upload zip file. I don't fly in NFZs' but it's there. You don't even have to start your wifi, hell they will do it for you, we gave them permission! Too bad I am still going flying tomorrow if they want to see water and trees they can go for it! I wish I could show them mountains but we don't have any here we don't even have many people, lotsa rivers, lakes, bush and mosquitos'. Like ROD says, keep it in airplane mode

The DJI Go app (on android) runs all the time in the background - unless you "freeze" it with another app, whether you are flying or not. It maintains constant contact with DJI's servers on multiple connections/threads. Some of the connections appear to be for ads but the rest exist to upload/download info on your phone. It's been like that for a long time.
