I bought a Samsung Tab A, and it doesn't see what the camera is seeing. Phantom tech support said that tablet won't work. Is there a way around this? I want the bigger screen and apparently my phone did updates so not it won't work either. Can we say frustrating!!!
Tablets and phones that work well with DJI GO
- Thread starter msinger
- Start date
My tab s works great, I have also used some other cheap tablets that worked perfectly fine that were not on the list. It is probably a setting on the tablet.
Well it has been a while since I had to play with one to get it to work, go into your app manager and make sure the dji app has all its permissions, It seems like there was a usb setting also. I have a tab e that att threw in with a phone purchase, I will give that a try tonite.
While because the Nvidia K1 gamer tablet is, because of its video performance, a better tablet for UAS use, your Samsung should work just fine. I would try turning the bird on and off and the tablet on and off to see if it binds. Also, make sure you don't have a cellphone nearby.
I use 2 different tablets (depending if I want a larger screen)
Nexus 7 (later version) .... It works great. Bought it on Craigslist for $90
Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1" .... It works great...quad core 2300gz ..... 2 gb RAM ..... 299 pixel density
Your Tab A is a bit underpowered (quad core 1200 gz .... 1.5gb RAM.... 132 pixel density.) as I am sure you have already figured out.
Good luck

Got this off dji forum
Turn on Controller while connected to Tablet. Start (or restart) the tablet. Click on OK when the USB request comes up.
Wait for BLUE "Enter Device" tab shows up. (Should be immediate as the app starts). Turn on copter.

I'm going to qualify this comment.. DJI Go 4 doesn't work well with iPad Mini 2 when you are in a warm climate.

Please define warm. I had no problem using iPad Mini 2 in the US SouthWest deserts.
I have the Phantom 3 Advanced. When I re-linked and started everything in the correct order it works now

When was this and what were the temps? Since the recent update the go app demands more from the display device.
Anything above 90 degrees.. if you fly one battery at a time you will probably be ok. I have 3 batteries. If I launch 85 degrees or higher I will be getting the CPU error msg at some point during the three batteries. More importantly my video feed becomes a slideshow. No problem with the shield so I know it's the iPad mini 2
It states under the Apple section, that you do not have to activate cellular for GPS to work, can someone please explain and enlighten me? I would much rather buy an ipad and not have to pay for cellular service. I have an iphone 6s plus, is it possible to connect it to the ipad and the ipad still be connected to the remote? I am flying a P3 standard.

All cellular Apple devices contain a GPS receiver. That GPS receiver is active even if the cell card is not activated on the Apple device.
That won't be possible since your iPad will be connected to the P3S remote controller via Wi-Fi. It can only connect to one Wi-Fi network at a time. You could connect your iPad to a Bluetooth GPS receiver (like one of these).

Or you could just do the tasks that require an Internet connection before heading out to fly (in a location where you have Wi-Fi). If you're able to create a hotspot on your mobile phone, you could also temporarily connect your iPad to your phone to do any Internet-related tasks before connecting it to your P3S remote controller.
