[QUOTE="Mikel Manitius, post: 9931, member: 1775"] I found that very often while using the OTG cable I would still actually be connected over WiFi, not the OTG cable. My solution was simply to "forget" the Spark-RC WiFi network on my iPhone so as to never connect to it accidentally. Then when connecting: 1. turn on RC and wait a few seconds for it to "boot up" 2. Plug OTG cable into RC 3. Plug Lightening end of OTG cable into iPhone/iPad. [B][I][U]and[/U][/I][/B]: a) make sure that you hear the tone from your iPhone/iPad as if it is charging (it won't actually charge, but it will make the tone) b) make sure that you get the "[I]this accessory is not supported[/I]" message from iOS (and dismiss it). This confirms that you are indeed connected via OTG to the RC. If you do not hear the tone or get the message then you are not connected via OTG cable and if your iPhone/iPad knows the password to the RC's WiFi network it will use that instead, but you won't realize it. I also tend to put my iPhone in airplane mode. 1) to minimize interference 2) to eliminate in-flight distractions (calls, messages, etc) Good luck. [/QUOTE]
