[QUOTE="Firebrand, post: 2478, member: 430"] Sorry I've updated my post in which I was complaining that I wasn't able to connect with USB. => I've done it accordingly to information provided through below links: [URL="https://forum.dji.com/thread-100803-1-1.html"]So disappointed! RC connection with Spark only fly 100meters and...[/URL] [URL="http://www.phantompilots.com/threads/dji-spark-connect-to-controller-though-usb-not-wifi.117313/"]DJI Spark connect to controller though usb not wifi![/URL] and it worked. For anyone with the same issue, steps are "simply": - Spark RC powered on - Smartphone powered on (WiFi disable of course & DJI GO 4 not opened) - Connect the male micro-USB/female USB cable & the male USB/male micro-USB cable (not required if you have an OTG male micro-USB / male micro-USB cable) - Connect first the cable to the Spark RC by the male micro-USB connector from the male micro-USB/female USB cable (or connect your OTG male micro-USB / male micro-USB cable) - Connect then the smartphone to the other male micro-USB connector - Then your smartphone (Android) should ask you if you want to open DJI GO 4 App each time for this device => YES - Finally DJI GO 4 App will open and you'll be able to click on "ENTER DEVICE >" to open the "Spark RC interface". Just in case, a trick to reduce video lags if you connect in WiFi mode: Do not activate auto-updates through WiFi for the Play Store applications & do not activate also auto sytem updates for your OS. Initially I had HUGE video lags in WiFi, and when I change above settings it completly change this (wasn't perfect but usable). [/QUOTE]
