[QUOTE="Dronason, post: 57356, member: 553"] Sorry, missed the statement about android :oops: Maybe your phone cannot see the 5.8G channels that the Spark/RC use. Had this case with a Samsung S6 that cannot handle these channels. Had to bought a S8 to have it working. If you use an OTG cable, you will bypass that issue. IOS device are normally immune to that issue. If you can borrow an iphone to test could be a way to troubleshoot. Alternative is to use the Spark to RC connection at 5.8G and then RC to phone at 2.4G but then it means less range and some manipulation with first OTG to switch channel. Not really an option. Spark and RC use channels 149 to 165 on 5.8G band. With a Samsung Tab S2, I can reproduce you issue, using app Wifi Analyzer to see the channel, as soon the RC work on 5.8G, I cannot see the RC SSID on the Tab S2 but on S7 I can. If too technical, let me know to simplify the explanation, but in general your basic options are: [LIST=1] [*]Use OTG cable, sorry, what you want to avoid but maybe another cable with different connectors can help. [*]Use a new phone/tablet that can use wifi channels 149 to 165 in 5.8G band. [*]Use the Spark only at 5.8G with manual channel mode but you will have range limitation and possible loss of connection in flight if it cannot switch to another channel automatically. Would be ok if you fly in remote area and not too fare. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
