The first time I rigged lineup it didn't work I charged everything 100% and tried again and it all came up naturally

No need to shut off home router, just choose the Phantom WiFi from the list of WiFi options on your device. My IPad connects automatically to my home router. I'm often taking off from about 20 feet away from the home router. I just go to the settings on the IPad and choose the Phantom WiFi and all is well.you have a phantom standard then, correct
if so no usb used
it is wifi from phone to RC to quad.
do this for simplicity:
shut off home router
turn on RC
turn on quad
open phone or tablet wifi connection setting
look for phantom xxxxx in the list
connect to it
pw is 12341234
good luck
edit , I see you got it...
So you talked to DJI and your sending to California?Having tried all suggestions I decided to send it back. Let's hope it either gets replaced or comes back repaired.

This may be his first smart phone...

I second the above. I've never heard that before, and what a hassle for anyone living there, having to do without WiFi while someone is flying their Phantom. ..

Hi,
I'm not sure if it will help as I'm pretty new here myself.
Have a read of the manual on how to link the rc to the drone.Do the relink procedure and see if that helps.

I thought I read somewhere you only have to re link when you have a new controller
Hum, I guess you don't live in Kent in the Pacific NorthWest.To clarify: I am using a Samsung S5, which is not my first smartphone and was purchased because my Lumia does not have the availability for the app.
I have no problem with the wi-fi between the app and the Phantom. The Phantom wi-fi shows up automatically on available networks and is saved on the phone.
Also my home router cannot be the cause as the same thing happens in the middle of a large field.
I returned the drone to Maplins which is the store I purchased it from. They are sending it to a UK service centre, and assure me it will come back either repaired or replaced.
My next post will be when this happens.
Only works on wi fi only phantom 4 has port to connect to remote to tablet or phone

Nope, my P3 Pro controller has both a full size and micro size usb connector.
I was having the same issues as you trying to get my drone working, weak signal message and all. I was able to get the app installed and move the camera about, and nothing else. My drone and controller were like an ambulance on an emergency run, lights flashing and beeps sounding. I just couldn't get my head around it.
I read the manual a couple of times, paying particular attention to the parts about the app and connection to the controller and drone. Then today, when I was ready to give it another go, I couldn't find the usb cable which came with my drone, so I used the one that came with my phone. The phone, controller and drone immediately sprang to life. I couldn't fly until I had updated the controller but afterwards it was plain (plane?) sailing. So I possibly got a faulty usb cable from DJI. Who knows?
My advice is - read the manual and read it again. When you understand what needs to be done, only then should you attempt to try to fly it.
You have a standard. The USB port in your controller is for charging the battery.The phone or tablet connects to the full size USB port that is on your controller.
