    Spark disconnected and rth initiated but never returned

    I know it's a bit late after the horse has bolted, so to speak, but I got one of those GPS tracking tiles $39 and stuck it on the top in the middle of the props just in case it decides to go AWOL. Hasn't happened as yet...

    remote help

    You haven't accidentally plugged in the charge cable upside down at some point and bent the pins in the remote? Very easy to do as the pin is not in the centre of the hole... Just a thought

    P4P+ controller for Spark (I wish)

    Ahhh wouldn't it be good if one could use the P4 or P4P+ controller with the Spark simply by having the option to select Spark, P4 or Mavic from a drop down list like on the Go app? Surely it wouldn't be difficult to achieve through a firmware update?

    OTG YES OR NO IN DEC 2018??!

    Well unfortunately it doesn't with Android.

    OTG YES OR NO IN DEC 2018??!

    How do you fit the S9 in the holder? My Note 8 only has the corners holding it in... Too big

    OTG YES OR NO IN DEC 2018??!

    Last DJI Go 4 update wrecked my OTG connection. I have a Galaxy Note 8 and was using the OTG with no issues, updated the app and now it shows camera view but no satellites, no battery, no camera settings, nothing. Unplug the OTG and use it via bluetooth and everything works... Uninstalled it...

    Moved (Some idiot is going to ruin it for everyone...)

    Not difficult to disable the geofencing or restricted zones in DJI drones, then you can fly it anywhere you like

    Love and detest the spark at the same time.

    Not sure why you're having issues connecting, to Go4 app I assume? I can have my Spark connected and up in the air in 2 minutes, quicker with the OTG cable. Put phone into 'airplane mode' so there's no interference and away you go!

    Dji go4 update

    I have always had an Android device (Samsung Galaxy Note 4) and never had any trouble with Go4 app, updates or anything. Must be lucky I guess, when there's an update it just downloads the update and updates the Spark and/or controller via wifi. It's really cool and so simple. Surprised to hear...

    Anyone flying the Spark with just the RC and no phone app?

    I sometimes fly my Spark without the app/phone just to whizz around and have a bit of fun, but I do restrict the distance/altitude so I can keep an eye on it. Problem is, like others have stated, you can't see what you're recording or taking pics of which kinda defeats the purpose.

    Anyone flying the Spark with just the RC and no phone app?

    LOL... You can see your Spark 500ft away? I'd better get my eyes checked... 100ft up and 150ft away I can hear it but often 'lose' it in the sky ha ha!

    OTG has transformed my Spark Experience....

    Looks fantastic! I think I might invest in one too, even just for my Note4. Cheers!

    Yet another guy with an OTG problem

    OTG cables are not officially supported by the DJI app, so it can be a bit hit or miss as to whether they work or not. Most people don't seem to have issues, sometimes mine works, sometimes it doesn't. I rarely fly my Spark more than 400-500m away, so I haven't had any video streaming issues...

    Lost my brand new spark

    Maybe it was heading 'home' to China! I'm not kidding, did you set the RTH home point? I have heard of this happening with brand new drones, if the home point is not set it could try to return home to it's last known location.
