So im back, had such a bad weather and i couldnt test the drone until this weekend. I am clearly on fcc now, i could reach about 550 meters with otg and modded app. Altough this is a decent distance i would still like to push it further. The app now selects fcc automatically, but i would like to choose the channel myself but the problem is that i cant see the bars on the channels anymore. Any other tips to fly further?

HI @Haggi, i bought a few cables according to your advise with a full OTG capability. Due to no time to fly, i only test it using my sony phone with a micro usb otg at both ends.
The results is the same,
Phone switch to airplane mod, switch on spark and RC. After RC and RC is link then plug in the cable.
MOD DJI did not evoke. Manually open the app and wifi automatically switch on to connect via WIFI with the cable connected.
I am not posting to flame the app, in fact i have been using MOD DJI since i buy spark and i am very happy with it.
Just to share i cannot get the otg working with WIFI and i hope to achieve that.
I will be trying it on my Oneplus 5 soon and hope it works.
Range wise, i can achieve 1.8km in a non congested airspace even using my current connection. So wait i am trying to achieve is to get a smoother video feed from spark that's all.
Btw do any one knows what will happen to the spark when it is out of range?
I was flying using MOD DJI, it went out of range at 1.8KM , video no longer working and RTH is not working as it giving me time out error message.
After 10-20 seconds of cold sweat, RTH works. From my log, it seems the spark stay in the air when it lost signal with the RC, instead of automatically return.
Anyone can verify this?
Thanks

There is no cable available with OTG in both ends. Flip it around..
If you're in desperate need of RTH, press and hold RTH button on remote until its start beeping. RTH can be canceled by pressing Pause button to regain control.
Practice RTH actions in close space to see and learn behaviour.
Keep us updated!
Link below sums it up regarding OTG cable with micro-usb both ends.

On all of my OTG cables (I have a few cos I'm always breaking them) the OTG end is the end with the USB logo on, plug that end into your remote first, then plug the other end into your phone.
If wifi opens, just disable it again, you might find it then works with OTG. I got so fedup with the app doing that, that I unpacked it and removed it's permission to modify wifi settings, I'm on android 4 so had to resort to that, but I think if you are on android N, you can do this in the app settings itself from the settings menu, that'll stop it opening the wifi every time the app opens.

Regarding RTH, don't forget the quad needs to be more than 20 meters away when you are practicing this otherwise it will either 1) land or 2) hover, depending on what settings you have, and of course obstacles avoidance is disabled if it's more than 100 meters away.
What I tend to do is find the highest object in the area and note its height from the display and set the RTH height 10 meters above that, or just set it at some arbitrary number like 80 meters (I think mine is set up for this atm), then hopefully sparky won't crash into any trees on its way home.
RTH is automatically triggered after 3 seconds of no signal from the remote, so no need to worry too much, I've had many occasions of loosing signal then it all comes back once Sparky has decided to come home.

Yes it does, but I prefer the modded version, so this is why I modified it to stop it opening the wifi upon opening.

From what I can get out of your statement above you are trying to connect your phone/device to the RC? You either connect to the RC with OTG ..."OR"... WiFi ... Not both
Hi all,
Thanks for the explanation with patience.
I have finally get my Sony and Oneplus working with OTG.
The manual will have additional HD which there isn't if connected to wifi.
The sequence of connecting it is very important.
Haven't fly with otg yet but at least i got it right.
Thanks again

I tried to download several times with no success, is there any other link to download please? Thank you.
hello
i m using it on Crosscall TX3 + spark, app is working. waypoint function is good but follow me mode does not work. Any reason why?
thanks
FEATURE REQUEST (if possible...)
It's great that we can use the Intelligent Flight Modes from the Mavic Pro on our Spark.
I wonder, as the cameras in both drones are the same, would it also be possible in a future version to enable making RAW photos and movies? That would be even more awesome!

I doubt it !
Still using this great app most of the time and haven't even bothered updating the official app as they haven't added any new features as far as I can tell ?

Yeah the cameras might be the same but the firmware running them isn't. We'd have to be able to modify the Spark firmware to start fiddling with features like that and I doubt that'll ever happen to this extent.
