[QUOTE="Brojon, post: 59256, member: 11898"] Ok - my first Spark was a fly more so the controller was bound. I didn't have too many issues updating the firmware and getting it to fly. But it had stiff motors so I sent it back and got a simple combo with Spark & controller. Dji software geeks and engineers should be forced to sit in a room and listen to the complaints I am very experienced with this sort of thing but the Spark has me seeing red it's so damned stupid to get past the asinine restrictions. First I connected the Spark to Dji Assistant and updated drone firmware. Ok Connected the phone - S7 Edge (no SIM card) - to the remote and did the wifi dance to get the remote firmware updated. ok Restarted the controller and verified connected via wifi At this point I could see both the Spark and the controller wifi when I started. Entered aircraft in Go 4 at which point it wants to bind to aircraft. Long push power button - one beep and voila she binds. Go to enter aircraft and I have to activate. At this point it refuses to activate even with the wifi dance. To really tick me off I can't leave that page I have to kill Dji Go 4 and start over. So I figure I'll simply connect direct to the aircraft. Nope - now I can't see the Spark wifi - AT ALL. Used Dji Assistant to reset Spark to factory. That doesn't work either. oh - and somewhere in the wifi dance it gets the notion that the wifi doesn't match my geographical region and I think it said it's disabled. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A CONSUMER PRODUCT DJI!!!! So how do I activate this thing - I didn't have anywhere near this difficulty with the fly more package. [/QUOTE]
