    Android device can't talk to Controller (Gotta love newbies with silly questions!)

    Well, after trying all suggestions, still had no luck. Filed a support ticket w/ Skydio, finally got a reply after 9 days. Tried all their suggestions, still no luck. At that point I was getting closer and closer to 30 days out, so I got an RMA# and sent it packing for a refund. Maybe I'll try...

    Anyone else a licensed ham radio op?

    Roger that...you're better off with a balloon! But, even that won't work her right now. 45 mph winds today! Cheers...

    Android device can't talk to Controller (Gotta love newbies with silly questions!)

    Thought about that, but I'd need the proper cable. The phone's a micro USB and the factory cable is only C to C. Both the tablet and the phone will fly the drone via WiFi, though. The tablet IS displaying messages from the drone through the controller ("Disable WiFi on phone"), just doesn't...

    Well, I gave that a shot, and still no improvement. **** shame, since this is the first day without wind in a week!

    Android device can't talk to Controller (Gotta love newbies with silly questions!)

    I'm using the factory-supplied cable, USB-C to USB-C with a tablet running Android 10, and the connection between the tablet and the controller seem OK...the app is just not communicating properly with the controller.

    Interesting...thank you! I'm more of a Windows guy. Never fooled around with the Android OS much, but, live and learn!

    Yeah, using factory supplied cable. The Android and the Controller evidently "see" each other, they're just not talking the same language! I've had a service ticket in with Skydio for a week, haven't heard back yet. Of course, holidays and all that... I just thought I'd check here for answers in...

    I'm not sure I understand that of which you speak... (in other words, HUH?)

    Android device can't talk to Controller (Gotta love newbies with silly questions!)

    Yeah, I've "rebooted" everything in sight. Even did the complete factory reset on the aircraft. For some reason, the controller and the Android device won't communicate as they should. I'm fairly certain that it's not a compatibility problem, since I'm running Android 10. V7 is what they...

    Dirty J Design "Kicker" - Discovered use for Moto Phone sized device

    I had the same issue...really thick phone. I do, however own a 10" Android tablet! I ended up grabbing one of these adapters and it works pretty well. Amazon.com: Tineer Remote Controller Holder Smartphone Tablet Extender Bracket Holder Mount for Parrot Anafi Drone: Computers & Accessories

    Remote ID Broadcast Module for drones

    I'm gonna think a bit outside of the box, here. There is still a bit of speculation/confusion as to what the new rulings actually entail, and how we, as fliers, and the manufacturers need to address them. Evidently, it would be impossible for the FAA (or whomever) to keep real-time data on...

    Android device can't talk to Controller (Gotta love newbies with silly questions!)

    My brand-new S2 flew just great from the 'learn to fly me' start on the app. Connected, locked onto me, followed like a puppy, landed, acted just as it should. Several days later, tried to fly with the Controller. Paired the drone to the controller, powered up, started app, connected Controller...
