I got it because I wanted a cheaper option with a larger screen and it was also recommended by another flier here on the site. I'm CHEAP! I couldn't see spending $300-$400 on a device that would only be used for my one drone, for now anyways, but I did have it connected to my Android phone for a couple of flights with no issues. I did not touch "developer options", I just got rid of a bunch of apps. that were taking up space and I would never use. Under "notifications", I "blocked" the apps. I kept and by doing that, you should not get any "updates" while you are flying that could cause a "disconnect" of your controller to the A/C, at least that's the way I understood it. I'm sure someone with way more I.T. experience will correct me if I'm talking out the side of my neck LoL! So far everything connects the way it should, but proofs going to be in the "flight". Gotta wait till the WX cooperates for me. Good luck! H.P.
