Galaxy Note 5, Not Compatible with DJI Go?

[imagesinthewind]

Thanks in advance for any help or advice,


So, I got a couple very good used P3Ps for our family for Christmas. I have a no-longer-in-use Galaxy Note 5. I upgraded when the Note 8 came out but didn't sell the Note 5. Thought it would be great to use with the P3P so my personal phone isn't in use while flying.

But i get the 'This app is not compatible with your device' error.
The Note 5 is on the list of 'Works Well With DJI Go' list:
My Note 8 downloaded and works fine, and my husband's ancient Note 4 works fine,
but I'd rather not give my phone to my kids when they all go out flying. I'd also rather not
go buy two tablets to use with the drones.

I downloaded the DJI GO APK and tried the back door, but my phone
won't open the file. I do have File Explorer and it's no help.

Anyone got any other better ideas?

Thanks,

I downloaded the DJI GO APK and tried the back door, but my phone
won't open the file.

Did you enable "Unknown sources" in the Android settings like this?

Yep, the day I originally got the phone.
I'm fairly tech savvy, and can't figure why it wouldn't work.
I was able to load it on all of our phones but this one and all three of the Note 5s gave the same error.
It's on a Note 4, S5, S7, Note 8 S8+ but not the Note 5.
