    Battery doesn't charge after failed firmware update

    Glad to hear that you're getting a new battery. One time I had a battery that was at three bars and I tried to top it off but the charger would just shut off. I put the battery in the Spark and flew it down to one bar - 30% - and then it charged to four bars. You might want to try it and see...

    Battery doesn't charge after failed firmware update

    I had trouble charging with the Spark and ended the problem with the battery charger. Buy Spark Battery Charging Hub - DJI Store

    Which is better for a beginner, Spark or Mavic Air? Can help me decide?

    I just went over to DJI and they still have the Spark combo for $399. Check it out at DJI Spark and Spark Fly More Combo. A personal note. If you plan to fly in a neighborhood like I do get the Spark. It does not intimidate or upset your neighbors but it is an absolutely wonderful flying machine.

    Airmap - does it satisfy the FAA requirements

    Tell that to the chap in this posting (Small municipal airport told me I can't fly at all) who was told by a municipal airport that he cannot fly.

    Spark wont power on...

    Could be it's a lot hotter in Tampa than where you usually fly and three back to backs might have damaged the Spark.

    Airmap - does it satisfy the FAA requirements

    Besides being a pain, these days they can actually refuse your flying in their space... yet another change since I got into this.

    Info

    The battery charger will charge all three at the same time or if it senses warm or hot batteries it will wait until the batteries are cool enough to charge which might be completely random looking.

    My spark is a $700 paperweight...

    Same here! I thought I had bought another piece of junk (and an expensive one). After a lot of study and a Go 4 version that handled OTG on an android phone... I had a wonderful flying piece of machinery that still amazes me. My only wish list is that DJI could make a drone with the...

    How do you successfully cancel RTH?

    Sadly, they set that to a minimum of 90' which puts me in the tree canopy.

    How do you successfully cancel RTH?

    Has anyone had success stopping RTH and then landing the Spark? How did you do it? I wish DJI would add a feature that would allow you to turn off RTH. I fly under a tree canopy most of the time and to me it is just a problematic feature.

    DJI GO 4 showing full screen ads?

    Thank you! Found the offending app - "Peel Smart Remote". Disabled it and the full screen ads went away.

    DJI GO 4 showing full screen ads?

    It was on my home screen and they covered the entire screen. The ads were from legitemate companies that I have bought things from. I installed an Anti Adware app named Malwarebytes and they are gone now. It sound like it is not DJI Go 4 which I was next on my short list to test but you cannot...
