Things that make you go ????
It happened to me for the first time while doing a Tiny Planet (spherical) shot the other day (Mini4 w/ remote. WiFi connection).
As I flew up to get in position, I got the warning and I wasn't over 100 feet.
I landed, checked my settings, nothing changed, launched again and had no further problems.
Beats me what happened.

Is your device Apple? It was only Android that seemed to be affected with the OTG issue.
Hi,
I talked to DJI support about the problems. Demanding working OTG, explaining why it is very important, especially in Europe (very low range in CE mode). Support guy was very understanding, asked back and told me, it's just a bug and they will fix it. They did not disable anything, they just don't really test it.
Please, everyone talk to DJI support, too. To make it clear, OTG is a much needed feature. Maybe we even can get "offical" support if we are loud enough?

Hi fellow flyers,
I am using the new Nokia 8 (Android 7.1.1 Nougat). I have constant "No signal", "Disconnection" and video lag with DJI Go ver. 4.1.18. until the recent patch which clears up the signal loss and disconnection issue. However, when I do an OTG connection, I still do get the N/A status for Spark's battery, signal, Satellites and so on.
I uninstall it and reinstall ver. 4.1.15 and all problems solved. OTG works fine again.

lol, that thread got epic quickly.
wish there was less fanboy posturing/chinese support robots and more hard information coming from dji about how they will solve the problem. its always hidden in fog when you're dealing with chinese companies as they have 0 responsibility to consumers. if dji gave a poop they would have scrapped that version from the app store instantly and solved the problem, but nothing has been done. my opinion is soon they will force us into using 18+ and we'll be in big trouble as android users, unless you want to cough up for CS. i also don't believe it was an accident, if telemetry was totally dead, maybe, but it sure looks like OTG was singled out. hopefully the community uproar forces their hand into a good, permanent android solution that doesn't cost us all another 600$ (more than the drone itself). if they spent as much time addressing important consumer issues as they did blasting their black friday sale and fapple mavic pro version, we'd all be in a better position.
i'm fairly sure the thread will get banned or deleted sometime soon, the 'rules' basically say you can't say anything negative. the forum policy reads like a communist manifesto written by chairman mao himself.
that all being said, i love(d) my spark, its a great piece of equipment i've enjoyed immensely, but without a quality video feed from wifi or otg, i'll be forced to sell it. then i won't buy a dji product ever again because i disagree with their practices. i feel especially bad for the euro crew because the laws there make your drone a very oddly shaped paperweight without otg. i'm even more worried this is the first of many 'issues' that will eventually force everyone onto overpriced fapple products if they won't buy their cs.

Same thing happened to me. I rolled back GO4 to 4.1.15 and now works. Have all flight info
I'm a Newbie Spark owner..... How do I revert from 4.1.18 to 4.1.15? I've an Android phone. Thanks!
uninstall the app, download from the link below, set to not auto update
DJI GO 4--For drones since P4 4.1.15 APK Download by DJI TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD - APKMirror
DJI GO 4--For drones since P4 4.1.15 APK Download by DJI TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD - APKMirror
What a mess that update was! Had multiple failures after take off, press RTH at which point it shot off away from the take off point. Fortunately signal was lost very quickly and it did a normal automatic return home. I should have never taken off as it was showing no telemetry but I really didn't expect it to head off in such an uncontrolled fashion. I won't be taking it for another flight until I've rolled back the app version.

Mine does that almost every flight. No OTG, but eventually it lets me continue on.
Thanks for that. But there are 2 "variants"... One starts with "1", the other starts with a "2"...I don't see any difference in the descriptions... Which one is correct? Both?
Thanks

I can't for the life of me install the 4.1.15. I have even removed the previous version and did a restart. The apk will not show in the downloads folder of the os. But it will show up in a separate file explorer. I have unknown sources turned on too. When I attempted to install I get stuck at the point when it asks to cancel or install. The install button is grayed out.[emoji31]
I have had this thing for 2 weeks. So since this update came out. I'm really not happy with the crap connection and would love to try it with the otg that I had also purchased. Any help would be great.
I'm running a Nexus 6 verson7.1.1.

Disable smart network change in Android, that will prevent you from looking for a connection that has internet.
