I downloaded and installed the HACKED version of the Android app, It has many advantages, restrictions removed, more weypoints on ground station, better layout etc... BUT be aware you use it at your own risk....
One thing that really pisses me off other than losing video link is the slow decent rate of the normal and hacked apps.
In the hacked version they have increased the ascent and directional speeds slightly, but not the descend speed..
I agree that the directional speed should be left alone or adjustable for slower only. But I do think the user should be able to choose what speeds they want to use. Especially ascend and descend.. Both adjustable on screen say from 1 to 7 meters per second.
I know some newbs and experienced drone pilots will crash land at 7 after forgetting it has been adjusted, but when the thing is 400 feet or more up, it takes an eternity to come back down.. What do you think.. ideas for other software mods,
Also been using the new Android 4.0 based Epson Moverio BT-200 with the vision plus,, absolutely amazing.. just email the .apk file to it, install it and off you go,, you can see the drone and overlaid is a virtual 200 inch screen.. The app is exactly as seen on a mobile phone, so can see all the information, plus camera view. Quality is excellent to.. Tried it in FPV, and after getting used to the camera view was able to fly easily through a derelict warehouse and around trees and objects. You got to try a pair... You can also play games, watch films in 3D and browse the web. One downside, they did not include google play on it, as it has its own apps page. however, It can be installed with a bit of know how. A few apps from the play store that I already downloaded do not work, but I'm sure that will be sorted in the near future. Battery life is good to, around 6 hours with wifi and BT on, plenty of time for a couple of flights, then playing back the recordings. The controller looks like a mobile phone, but the screen is missing, that is the track pad. All in all 9 out of 10.. dropped the point because no play store app pre installed.....
