Nvidia Shield K1 & Android 6.0

[hawkeye62]

OK, I am confused. I would like to upgrade to Android 6.0 to get the integration of Micro SDXC card memory with on board memory. But, I seem to remember discussions about Android 6.0 causing problems with the compass. So, does Android 6.0 cause problems with compass calibration or compass navigation of the P3A using DJI GO on the K1?

Thanks for any advice.

Regards, Jim

Not that I've seen occur, no. I use Nvidia Shield K1 with Android 6.0, no issues here.

Running Android 6.0.1 on my K1. Zero compass issues.
