[QUOTE="Dodge DeBoulet, post: 74971, member: 14925"] I've used my Spark and RC with both a Note 8 and a generic 6" Android tablet (effectively a repurposed TV remote). The former is USB-C, the latter micro-USB. I've found that the order of turning on, physical connection and starting of the app really have no bearing on success. I get reliable, repeatable results with the following steps. [LIST=1] [*]I generally start with the tablet/phone turned on, unlocked, and plugged into the RC using the OTG cable. [*]I then turn the RC on. This automatically causes the DJI GO 4 app to load on the tablet. [*]I wait for the 'rc connected' indicator, then turn on the Spark. [*]Once the Spark connects, I tap "Go Fly." [*]I Wait for GPS lock, and then [*]I fly ... [/LIST] The steps are the same with my Note 8, except that I use a USB-C OTG cable. The tablet is running Marshmallow (Android 6) and the Note 8 is running Nougat (Android 7). [/QUOTE]
