[QUOTE="Dronason, post: 13825, member: 553"] I have rechecked OTG with latest fw and Go4 app version for the affected functionalities when using it. Seems that the latest android version get several improvement when using OTG regarding functionalities (did not check for distance or video quality). But the IOS stays where it was. Tested with Samsung S8 and Go4 4.1.8, iPad mini 4 and Go4 4.1.9, fw .0600. Bold items apply to both IOS and android where non bold apply only to IOS. Limitations: [LIST] [*][B]Cannot change wifi band. (on android it seems a wrong screen is displayed (looks like PH3).[/B] [*]No signal level indication with IOS. [*]Loss of custom buttons setup on IOS. [*][B]Not officially supported by dji, so it could be removed in the future.[/B] [*]RC cannot be calibrated with IOS (on IOS, screen is even not the same wizard). [*]RTH maximum altitude is 50m on IOS (wifi is up to 500 m, android is ok). [*]Shows the Joystick/GUI button at bottom left, but it seems inactive, on IOS device. [/LIST] In return, using OTG will bring the following advantages: [LIST] [*]You can still use internet and get live map (but android has off-line map). [*]Reduced lag as only one wifi connection is used (probably not that big improvement on high-end device). [*]Less risk of interference as in total only one wifi band is used and it is selected by the Spark as quiet. [*]Full control of band and channel (in wifi mode, the RC channel cannot be selected). [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
