Bought my Spark yesterday and Downloaded update 577. Took it out for first time this morning before it rained, got to 600 meters before I got cold feet lol. Not bad for my first flight and flew like a dream with the otg cable.
Looks like otg android is back and app download new app 4.2.16 587 Monday 21st May.
- Thread starter Gavieboydgi
- Start date
how can you tell if you are on 557? i downloaded the apk about a week ago and havn't had any updates but under the settings of the app it says: DJI GO 4 v4.2.12(557-googleplay) so i guess its the most up to date yet i've never updated it since?
In the GO 4 app click on me at bottom right of screen then the cog on top right of screen and the version is displayed at bottom.
I noticed this too. Usually the app would ask for frequencies at every start. The .12 version didn't which left me behind wondering if it's CE or FCC. I did fake GPS and DJI app start but no message appeared. On my first real flight outdoors the message reappeared and I was able to hit cancel (which showed me it was still using FCC).
As you see I can't finally answer your question but I would assume the check only happens when you're connected to your RC/AC.
happy to report that otg is working properly and showing wifi bars on samsung s6edge+ and s8+ and have switched wifi channels multiple times to test without any crashes ( i am an old reader of this fourm but 1st time made account today so i can reaply because today finally my sparky made me happy 
hey everyone nice to be here )

No just made sure the back of the antennas was pointing at the spark that's all. Try and do that fcc mod by using a floater app basically it tricks your spark into thinking you are in a fcc country there is loads of YouTube videos how to do this if you need help with it. It makes the spark so much safer.

FINALLY showed up in the store for me, installed in on my Nexus 6P, and fired it up, all data is working over OTG, along with offline maps. Haven't flown yet though 577 I believe is the build number

Yeah! It showed up on the Play Store today for me in the U.S. I was beginning to think 4.2.12 was a prank you veterans were playing on us newbies. Now maybe I can use my Samsung Tab A tablet; the video was too laggy on wifi to use it with my Spark.

It work,OK,but using the OTG cable still gives you problems? Some times it links up then other times it takes 2-3 attempts to get it working right!

I was showing 4.2.8 all day in GP in the UK.
It might be a coincidence but I force stopped 4.2.8 and immediately got the update notice to 4.2.12_577.

I made the update today, went in a field wide open, 0 interferences, connected the controller to the phone via the otg cable. The drone wifi settings auto, mostly in 5.8 GHz, fcc mode. The video feed was horrible as usually, and the connection interruptions begun after 300m distance. At 500m, it became unusable. Signal lost, huge lag of the comands, etc. It drives me crazy!

Interesting, the only time that i have had signal loss, and lag was when I use WiFi, did you put your phone in airplane mode?
No, I always let the mobile internet connection on. May that interfere in some way?

It can, also if you put in airplane mode you reduce the risk of someone calling you while you are flying
