[QUOTE="cozzykim, post: 43655, member: 6499"] Just tried the 4.2.12 apk on an old 16GB Nexus 5, and OTG is working perfectly, all telemetry present. I was also able to download offline maps, by switching to my home SSID with DJI Go 4 running in the background. It does take a while for the offline map to appear, but it works for me [IMG]https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/e40/1/16/LIKE.png[/IMG] [IMG]https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/e40/1/16/LIKE.png[/IMG] [IMG]https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/e40/1/16/LIKE.png[/IMG] My normal device for DJI Go 4 is a Nexus 7 32GB 4G Gen2. I'll wait a couple of days to see whether a new version surfaces, and then maybe try 4.2.12 on that device too. The main benefit that I can see, is that it should allow switching to a 2.4GHz connection between aircraft and controller in the EU. As well as a better live video link of course. [IMG]https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/e40/1/16/LIKE.png[/IMG] Edit: A screenshot says it all, WiFi Aircraft-RC is now 2.4GHz, which arguably means better range than 5GHz. Android phones in the EU have limited 5GHz channels, which meant that my Spark was always previously connecting RC to the phone with 2.4GHz and RC to the aircraft with 5GHz. As you can see from the screenshot, the Aircraft-RC connection is manually selectable to 2.4GHz with OTG on Android and DJI Go 4 4.2.12 [IMG]https://s18.postimg.cc/pppua5lt5/Screenshot_20180418-121139.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
