[QUOTE="Texas Gonzo, post: 19840, member: 3142"] I fly with OTG religiously... once usb debugging is properly setup, GO4 should launch automatically within seconds of the cable being plugged in. My procedure is to first power up the Spark, then the remote. I wait about 10 seconds for communication to establish between the them, then unlock my phone. With the cable already plugged into the phone, I then plug into the remote. Almost immediately, I get a connection *ding* and phone prompt in the system tray stating its plugged in as a usb accessory. Within less than 10 seconds, GO4 automatically launches and is good to go fly. If GO4 doesn't launch within 15 seconds, I unplug the cable at the controller, wait a couple of ticks, then re-connect. Works everytime for me using a Samsung Galaxy Amp Prime (version 1) running Android 6.0.1/Marshmallow. On other phones I've tried, GO4 doesn't auto launch. It seems to be related to a connection option dialog which is presented during the initial connection attempt. Make sure you select "MTP" for connection type when prompted by the phone the very first time you make the attempt. Otherwise, you'll have to dig through your phone's USB debugging options to enable MTP (Media Transfer Protocol). Three highly important things to note... first, not all usb cables are created equal. Some are only good for charging, and will not provide a data connection, period. Second, some are picky as to the direction they're plugged in, so you might try reversing the cable if having issues. Third, and most important, USB debugging must be enabled on your device to start with. Hope this helps ;-) [/QUOTE]
