Phantom 3 w/ Galaxy A03S issues

[Pas6171]

Hey folks, I'm having issues with my Phantom 3 Standard connected to my Samsung Galaxy A03s and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on them?

I factory reset the A03s, then performed a system update to latest version available. Fully updated the apps, then disabled: Amazon Shopping, Koodo Mobile, Google Meet, and OneDrive.
Next, I installed DJI Go v3 fresh from their website. Then installed Litchi from Play Store. I have logged in to both apps while connected to the internet and am able to launch both apps, but:

With DJI Go 3 after connecting to the drone, the video feed comes on normal, goes to greyscale, then goes black. Comes on normal .. greyscale .. black. It repeats this pattern over and over until you flip the photo/video toggle switch back and forth at least once, then it becomes stable. During this switching video issue, the live info like aircraft status, battery percentage, etc, is updating normally.

With Litchi after connecting to the drone, the video is stable. However, when you put Litchi in VR mode inside goggles, you're supposed to be able to tilt your head up and down to move the camera on the gimbal up and down smoothly. It works, but takes ages to respond to the head movement and when it does it is super slow and choppy. The rest of the displayed data in Litchi seems to update properly from what I can tell.

Note: I have a Galaxy S5 Neo that both apps work flawlessly on, but was trying to use the A03s for the larger screen.. in fact, the S5 seems work work properly with all of my other mfg drones so far (4DRC, DronePro, etc).

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks
Paul

Doubt the A03s is powerful enough to do what you're asking of it, that's especially true with 2 flight apps installed. Have you tried turning off ALL others apps besides GO (or litchi) during flight? If that doesn't solve the problem you'll need to upgrade the phone to one with more powerful cpu and more ram..imo.
PS: reviews mention it's too slow to use for much besides a phone and a camera. Good luck, at least you have a backup that works.

Hi Capt, sorry it took so long to get back to the forums.. thanks for the info, appreciate it. Your right, the reviews on these A03S fones are all saying it's a very entry level phone and can't do much. I bought it about 2 years ago anyway and just went the Pixel 8 route. The crazy thing is that I totally reset the A03 and the only apps I installed was DJI Go & Litchi. It has 32GB Internal Storage & 3GB Mem.. Surely it could handle running just the DJI app or Litchi by themselves.. guess not. I really wish Samsung (among others) would stop making these so called "entry level phones" - they're useless. If anyone has encountered this issue, even on another mfg phone and you were able to "tweak" something to get it to work properly, please let me know

Funny, the phone that still works is my S5 NEO - released in 2015 I think - has 16GB Internal Storage & 2GB Mem LOL
Oh well, at least it works. Enjoy the rest of your weekend folks!
