[QUOTE="Rmwac, post: 76747, member: 14567"] Kidding aside... Android phones and tablets go into charge mode when connected up to the Spark or Mavic controllers via the OTG cable. The RC battery discharges more quickly.... especially a big tablet. The Mavic has a second Usb port, and many of us use a usb power hub to actually replenish the Controller while we fly. Can't do that with the Spark. There is a You Tube video where a guy cuts the 5v+ wire in the OTG cable, and indeed the phone charging ceases, but there seem to be issues with connectivity. So, using the WiFi to connect will solve the phone charging issue, but WIFi connection is iffy, from my experience. I'm giving up on my Androids, and springing for an Ipad Mini 4.... Fits the jaws of the controller, and doesn't suck the Controller battery dry. [/QUOTE]
