I am very new to DJI products. I have been using Draganfly drones over the past few months with the college I attend, however, recently I purchased a Phantom 4 Pro+. The controller it came with does not support 3rd party apps (dronedeploy, Pix4d, ect...) but works very well with the built-in DJI Go app. I have not had any issues using that controller for videos or images but need to do some mapping missions.
After purchasing a regular phantom 4 pro controller I used my phone (Samsung Galaxy S7) which works fine connecting to the DJI Go4 app, Pix4d Capture, and DroneDeploy (although there seems to be an issues when I go to run the mission I always get an error about waypoints). I decided to stick with android and bought a Galaxy S2 Tablet (9.7"), and the tablet just does not work well. I've researched about switching the developer settings with debugging and changing the USB from MTB or something to another setting (RNS... I forget the actual name) and always clearing the defaults of whichever app you use.
Here is where things go downhill, and maybe I am doing something wrong, but this is my process.
It seems like people had issues in the past with the Galaxy S2 tablets and Samsung products not working with DJI or the 3rd party apps. So, my questions would be: Is there a fix to the Galaxy S2 Tablet? Am I doing something wrong or missing a step?
OR
Should I just switch to an Apple product, get the cellular tablet only for the GPS and not active the cellular service?
What are other people using as a tablet and having great success?

- Power on the controller
- Power on the drone
- Tablet is on, defaults cleared and the settings above are applied
- Connect Tablet to Controller
