Just a quick one for all you all, should this video help and get you flying again please consider subscribing ! Even if half of the viewers subscribed after watching this I'd double my subs which of course would really help the channel out! Thanks you 😊
Gavin... You saved me..! I'm an engineer and certified drone pilot in NY and have the occasional need to inspect a roof utilizing my Mavic 2 Zoom... I changed my phone a couple of months (Galaxy 22s Ultra) and couldn't download Go 4. Was inspecting a building yesterday located right on the approach to Kennedy Airport with landing jets within 800-1000 feet above, and even with the GEO zone unlock and FAA authorization I couldn't get the drone in the air using the Smart Controller (no internet access) to confirm. I followed your instructions to a TEE and got it done today... AMAZING..! and Thank You..!
You are an absolute legend! It's been 6 months since I've been able to fly and DJI customer support had been brutal. After watching this video I was flying again in 10 min. I can't thank you enough!
@@GAVINHR hey man wondering if u could help me out I've tryed doing the stuff in ur video and still can't get it to download to my samsung galaxy s21 ultra! Thanks
You sir are a legend. Thank you so much for this video. I had started to think was never going to fly my drone again yet two quick messages from you ( on another of your videos ) and I am back in the air. Thank you so much for your video, and for replying to my comments on your other video and directing me here.
I'm going to pin that comment, you're most welcome that's what I try to do on my channel. - help people get flying their drone paid for with hard earned money with confidence. Thanks for watching and glad you're back up in the air
i 100% agree with Paul M thank you so much for making this video. i had put my Drone away for 3 months now until i found your video. yesterday i took my drone out and it was fun . thanks again
what a guru. A surprise today when I purchased a new drone today, followed the instructions for install and then spent a few minutes thinking I bought an expensive brick. DJI should pay you for this video and use it as a QR link in the packaging!
I send many many Thank You's, about 3 hours worth if we're counting... My brother-in-law just bought a Mini 2 and we couldn't figure out how to get it to pair with his phone, found your video and in 2 mins we were on our way to flying...
Just wanted to express my gratitude for coming across your video as you have saved me from spending out on a tablet just for my drone. Major simple step that I was missing from other advice from the dji forum was the APK installer. Works like it did before starting having problems, just a shame I didn't come across it earlier but I'm so grateful 👍🏼 For anyone else wondering, I have a Galaxy S22 Ultra with the Exynos chip and had the blank screen (despite being able to record video and photos that we only viewable in the album)
@@lunaclipsemedia3760 hi, unfortunately this didn't last long at all and eventually stopped being supported full stop. I had to purchase a tablet to be able to use it which I wasn't too happy about. The drone with the screen on the control pad would be the best est option moving forward
FANTASTIC. Hadn't use my mavic pro2 for a few months, try to fly and app wouldn't load. Quick search, found your vid, downloaded your patch and away we went. Love you.
Absolutely brilliant advice, I’ve had various issues with my Mini SE and have had lengthy conversations with the so called tech support who advised me to change my phone to one shown on their web site, unbelievable advice. I returned the first purchase and started to bid on various so called compatible phones from eBay fortunately with out success. Following your advice it has taken a couple of minutes to install as you indicated onto my Samsung Galaxy A71. Many thanks Terry
This dude is a life saver. I just purchased the drone and was fixing to return it. I thought dji was better then this. I have the z fold 4 and once i went to the dji website and downloaded it i just clicked install from the file and it asked to update the app. I chose yes. It works right away. Thank you again
Completely frustrated to have to jump through non-intuitive steps. But Gavin did a great job of explaining step-by-step how to get my Samsung to connect with my Mavric Air 2 again. Thanks!
Excellent. Upgraded Samsung Tablet to new Galaxy Tab S8+. Struggled for an hour or so, found your video and followed it to get my Phantom 4 up and running. Success. Thank you Gavin.
Hat of to you dude. I followed your instructions which was clear and simple to follow. Thank you very much. I initially panicked thinking I may have to buy another drone. Your a wizard.
I have a phantom 3 standard and I haven't flown it in well over a year and didn't understand why my old app wouldn't open this video was the first thing I came across and it helped me fix it immediately. Honestly man thanks so much for your help you're an unsung hero
Exactly what I needed, I sold my s10+ and I wasn't aware fly app won't work with my s22 ultra, I was already looking for something new to buy that will work, now I don't need it. Works perfectly fine, thank You once again :)

Hi Gavin Great video as always, but my problem with using Fly on a Samsung Galaxy A71 is that later versions of Fly seem to always crash within around 10 minutes of taking off, I've no problem with actually installing them, running Android 11. The initial solution was to roll back to v1.4.2 which works fine, but a better solution came along when Litchi (Beta only to start with) became availabale for the Mini 2. I've more recently bought an Air 2S and after the first two flights with Fly (1.4.2!) I've changed over to Litchi. There is a gimble control warning for the Air 2S when it starts (due to a fault in the DJI SDK) but I've had no problems so far in actually controlling the gimble, including shooting 360 panoramas where the app is controlling it. As before with the Mini 2, there were no warnings when buying the Air 2S that DJIs Fly app would only work on certain phones, DJIs response to the problem when I contacted them was a totally unsatisfactory 'you need to buy a new phone'. According to the aircraft Flight Manuals for both Mini 2 and Air 2S the only requirment for using Fly is Android v6.0 and later, which patently isn't true.
Excellent useful info Gavin, as we've come to expect from you. I'm still on V1.4.4 of 'DJI Fly' as I want to stick with a version that works for me on my Samsung Galaxy A71 using Android 11. Needless to say I've made sure I've saved this video from you for the time I change phones and move on to Android 12. Thanks Gavin.
Hi Graham. I am struggling with getting the app to install on my A71. Seeing your comment makes me believe that it might be the latest version of the app that is not compatible with my android version. But this doesn't make sense because I got it to install on my older LG V30 with adroid version 9... Did you ever try the latest version on your A71? If not then I will try the older version like you have installed.
@@WestCoastMountainBiker Hi 'WCMB', I've not been given the option to install Android 12, if that's what you mean by the latest version. If however, you mean the latest version of DJI Fly App, after reading through a lot of comments on the plus and minus points of versions after 1.4.4, I decided to stick with 1.4.4 as it works fine for me, and there is nothing in later versions that inspires me to upgrade, as I get the impression it's a case of 1 step forward and 2 steps back, if you get my drift 😉. I'm also 2 versions behind on the Mini 2 firmware..I think...but I need to check on that, but it will be few days before I get a chance to.
@@grahambutler5847 yes. I'm referring to the dji app version. My Samsung Galaxy A71 is running Android 11. What I did was, I went to the dji download site and downloaded the version they have available which is the latest one. 300 odd megabytes. At first I just opened the apk file and it asked if I wanted to install the app where I accepted. Then was taken to a permissions page to grant permission then I installed. The instalation did not even try to run at first. I thought to switch the phone off and back on again. Doing so I went to the downloaded apk and opened it where they asked if I want to install where I accepted but then no permission page. Then the installation ran. It came to about three quarters of they way where I noticed the cancel button faded out, like its now too late to cancel the installation. And the installation bar freezed for a few seconds. Then a message appeared telling met that the app was not installed. Then looking on RUclips found this video and tried this method of a separate apk installer. Which did exactly the same with the installation. Then after reading your comment I tried the same version you have... the 1.4.4. But it also did the same. But to give you another bit of information I used my old LG V30 phone to try and see if it would work and it worked fine with the latest version. Without getting a separate apk installer. And the LG is running Android 9. So I am not sure where my issue lies. I can use the other older phone. But this will just add to the effort I have to put in to go out. Having another phone charged and ready to go as the A71 is my daily driver. But I should maybe email dji personally and get their side of the story.
Tried getting info from a Facebook group with no luck. So glad I found this video! It got me up and running on my phone and now I can continue trying to get the rest of everything set up! Thank you and I most definitely subscribed!
I can't say 'thank you!' enough. I recently purchased a mini se after my spark crashed in turbulent winds. I'm an android user who enjoys drone footage and I was upset to not be able to fly after I couldn't access the app. This video has restored my faith in humanity after I was able to download the apk and access the dji fly app. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
If anyone has an issue with the APK installer recommended in the video. after selecting install dji fly . and you get a message saying " file viewer cannot display this file format" you have to either update your file viewer app. or change what your phone automatically opens to view files. I hope this helps anyone that's stuck. this video helped me out alot
Thank you. Had a documentary to go shoot tomorrow with the Mini and the app wouldn't open. I freaked out an went to RUclips to see if something had happened and yours was the first video. We appreciate people like you. 👍
I just invested in an MA2 and was kinda disappointed that the Fly app might not work with my “older” Samsung Tab A. Rather than try to make it work, I went ahead and started some research as to what smaller, less expensive, tablet would work for me. I decided on the Samsung Tab A7 Lite. I found somewhere on the web that people were getting that to work. The size and price was right and also appeared it had the “minimal” requirements for the app. Now, I haven’t actually used the set up yet BUT, this video REALLY helped me out. !! The app loaded and “looks” like it should work. Time will tell I guess. Thanks SO much for this info.
Greetings from Philippines 🇵🇭 Thank you so much! Thought my drone was broke! Just followed your tutorial and voila! I finally fly my drone again! Thank ypu so much Sir Gavin! Salute!
March 2023; I went to DJI Download Page via Chrome (on both a Galaxy S23Plus - Android 13, and Galaxy Tab A - Android 11,) selected DJI Go 4, and was presented with "Download APK" which I selected. I clicked through the Chrome security warning, and the app downloaded without issue. The DJI Go 4 app loaded right up and connected with my Mavic Pro. BRILLIANT THANK YOU!!!
freakin awesome!!!..I haven't launched nor flown my mavic mini in a year and tried to open the app on my Galaxy S20+ Ultra and it wouldn't. Tried uninstall, reinstall, install from Galaxy store and was unsuccessful. this video helped greatly...thank you very much!!
Thank You Sir very much. I went out and bought the top of the line Samsung S22 Ultra which was a 1000 dollar phone so I could fly attached to a great smart phone with a very bright screen, just to get home and find it wasn't compatible with my Air 2 and Mini 2. But following your instructions here worked perfectly! Subscribed. Well done and again Thank you. It passed the take off and hover test. It also passed the video feed test. Going out now to give it a full test. I'll let you know the results.
This guy here explaining this fix with the apk installer is a genius, my dji go 4 works after I follow his step by step instructions, thank you my friend it's up and running.
I have subscribed my friend,you are very helpful.your like the mad scientist ha ha 😂 🤣and superb instructor on how to install things for Dji apps,and information as well
This video helped me out a ton!!! After fighting for 5 hrs with this drone, I found this video, done exactly what he said, and everything works now. Thank you for helping me
Thankyou so much for doing what Dji can't seem to do. I downloaded the go4 app from your link and it works perfectly on my galaxy s10+. Thanks again you got me flying again
I can not thank you enough! It's unacceptable that it does not work on android after such a purchase. My friend, DJI owes you a lot 4 helping newbies such as us! Subbed!
Hahaha you've changed this piece of junk into flying photo machine once again working making whole family happy thanks to its beautiful shots. So thankful you can't imagine. Thank you so much.
Awesome, I updated my Samsung phone yesterday and the DJI app stopped working. Ended up using an old phone that had DJI on it. Followed your video just now and it works perfect on my Samsung again. 🤟😁
😲 OMG! I'm back! Thank you so much. You don't understand how frustrating this was. I went to D.R. and couldn't fly. I was so upset with DJI. Thank you, Thank you.
Haven't been able to fly until I found this video. Simply followed your easy instructions and Voila! I'm back in the air. Thanks from the Buckeye State, Shipmate!
Sir you just don't know! I was about to sell my MP2 after not flying for about 4 months. You just made me smile soooo hard. Instructions were easy and worked like a charm. I'll get my 1st flight in tomorrow. Thank you!
Dude. Can I marry you? I haven't flown in a couple of years. Went to open the app and boooom. I wanted to cry! This video definitely is a life saver!!!!
So initially I checked my Lg G8 device with Aida64 device specs check and indeed my phone is supposed to be up to snuff and powerful enough according to the spec's to run. With the Arm processor etc 64bit etc etc for operating the DJI fly app.. However.. I tried with a apk installer and without just using my files app, cannot get it to download. Upsetting but fortunately my saving grace,I have a gigantic Samsung Galaxy s6 on Android 12 so I'm going to try that and see. Ideally I want the phone, the whole idea of the mini 2 is compact and easy which a 10"+ tablet honking out of my back pocket to fly the thing isn't ideal but at least I don't have to cancel the mini 2 I just ordered. Your process did allow the tablet to finally work with the app, I can't say thank you enough. Thanks so much for your help, really easy and thorough, GOD bless.
Works 100% Thank you so much. The fact that the company hasn't resolved this (or found a more obvious way of finding the solution) is beyond me. But thank you
Took the Mini 2 out on a long range flight. Not even one flicker on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. Performed perfectly. Phone didn't even get hot and the video was perfect. So cheers. I'll be testing it on a Mavic Air one next. using GO 4 app. I'll let you know.
Hi Gavin - After several days of trying to fix my DJI Fly app with ZERO success, I was able to get back flying after installing DJI FLY APP 1.6.12, which you so graciously provided on your Google Drive share. Thank you SO much!! What I find most interesting is that DJI FLY APP 1.6.12 is not available on the DJI website. The latest version available there is DJI FLY APP 1.6.9. Why is that?? LOL Thanks again man!
Thanks for this information! I had been on DJI's website and seen the updates, but I had never downloaded anything outside the Play Store so I passed on it. Thanks to your info my UAV is back in the air.
Awesome almost been a year since I played with my Mavic mini gone through 2 phones and lost my drone. I found it and could fly and came across your channel awesome work!
I can't thank you enough. I am getting ready to go out and film for a new video and the app wouldn't open. With your video I'm back up and flying. Wouldn't have been possible without you. Many thanks!
I had issues with the APK installer it said problems parsing the package, I then went to download your file and had the same message, that alerted me to the fact that the file hadnt completed the download on my slow connection so you might want to say that in the APK installer the file saize should read 395 Mb before you try to install. That done all works thank you :)
Ive been so frustrated with my connectivity of app and drone. Ive missed so many shooting opportunities of some beautiful places with these damn bugged updates. But your site is a blessing! Thank you much love ❤️
Thanks Gavin, that's great & good news for an old guy flying an old drone. Keep up the good work, you are helping a lot of people out there to keep flying. Cheers
Subbed! I came from a trip, spend time & money just to find out my dji fly keeps on crushing. I was frustrated but I'm glad I found your solution. Thanks!
Works as been said. Also with the newer 1.6.x version. Samsung M32 (for affordable screen brightness) I don't trust my iPhone 12 pro max anymore with drone. The screen just goes off when the phone overheats. That's why I bought the eco Samsung.
Holy crap man, thanks so much for such a simple fix!! Had a Samsung S20FE for over a year now and can finally fly my freakin Mavic with it! Super good easy, quick, fix, thanks so much! Only thing I'd make sure people know is that you have to use an actual browser (eg. Chrome) on your phone and not just the 'Google' button to search and access the DJI Download Center. If you just use the Google button to search for the DJI Download Center and then try to download the apk from there, it won't actually download to your phone. If you use a browser it works exactly as you said with no issue. Cheers!
Thank you so much for putting this video together and having the APK files on your Google Drive I was unable to get it to work directly from DJI but went to your website and managed to pull down in October file and it worked great much appreciated
two years i bought the DJI Mini, but... my Samsung could not use the DJI Fly app :( so there was a good alternative, Rainbow, works perfectly. Now i have the Minis 2SE, but Rainbow dont support this one. And now of a sudden, my Samsung can have the dji app... and downloaded it, like a miracle. I always saw on the DJI site, the compatible phones, and always wonder why only so few compatible Samsung mobiles were on the list, realy ... unbelievelable in 2024 also. And also a good video this one
Thanks alot for this video. I was getting super frustrated not being able to open the dji app. I was up and running in five minutes after watching this video
Thanks for your prompt reply Gavin, take your comments onboard. Any tablet you would suggest similar size to the ipad mini 4 that would do the job & not break the bank. Cheers
Thanks for this video, was not finding a solution, you changed my brick drone into an eagle drone! Am using it in Afrika - Tanzania, my first drone and first flight ever! Thanks man, memorial day! Best tutorial on this initial software and this first time drone registartion issue! Great!
Great work sir. I just got a mini 2 and really was struggling to download the app... I even got a new phone and still it wasn't having it. Luckily, I stumbled across this video and it sorted it. Thanks.
bless you. may you get all the green lights while driving. may no one ever cut you off on the road. may your pillow always be cool. may all the good things happen to you
I'm sure this video was well-meant, but we are now in 2024, with Android 14 and loads more new phones. Mines is a new Samsung A55 . I anticipate issues with it. I am about to check out all the recommendations, as well as other videos if available. Thanks for helping others in the past.

I'm also 2 versions behind on the Mini 2 firmware..I think...but I need to check on that, but it will be few days before I get a chance to.
@@WestCoastMountainBiker BTW, I believe you have to completely uninstall the Fly App before installing a later version.
@@grahambutler5847 yes. I'm referring to the dji app version. My Samsung Galaxy A71 is running Android 11. What I did was, I went to the dji download site and downloaded the version they have available which is the latest one. 300 odd megabytes. At first I just opened the apk file and it asked if I wanted to install the app where I accepted. Then was taken to a permissions page to grant permission then I installed. The instalation did not even try to run at first. I thought to switch the phone off and back on again. Doing so I went to the downloaded apk and opened it where they asked if I want to install where I accepted but then no permission page. Then the installation ran. It came to about three quarters of they way where I noticed the cancel button faded out, like its now too late to cancel the installation. And the installation bar freezed for a few seconds. Then a message appeared telling met that the app was not installed.
Then looking on RUclips found this video and tried this method of a separate apk installer. Which did exactly the same with the installation. Then after reading your comment I tried the same version you have... the 1.4.4. But it also did the same.
But to give you another bit of information I used my old LG V30 phone to try and see if it would work and it worked fine with the latest version. Without getting a separate apk installer. And the LG is running Android 9.
So I am not sure where my issue lies. I can use the other older phone. But this will just add to the effort I have to put in to go out. Having another phone charged and ready to go as the A71 is my daily driver. But I should maybe email dji personally and get their side of the story.
Tried getting info from a Facebook group with no luck. So glad I found this video! It got me up and running on my phone and now I can continue trying to get the rest of everything set up! Thank you and I most definitely subscribed!
Thank you so much, you solved a great headache 🙏
I can't say 'thank you!' enough. I recently purchased a mini se after my spark crashed in turbulent winds. I'm an android user who enjoys drone footage and I was upset to not be able to fly after I couldn't access the app. This video has restored my faith in humanity after I was able to download the apk and access the dji fly app. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Just so everyone knows. As of Sept 4 2024, it's update 1.131
If anyone has an issue with the APK installer recommended in the video. after selecting install dji fly . and you get a message saying " file viewer cannot display this file format" you have to either update your file viewer app. or change what your phone automatically opens to view files. I hope this helps anyone that's stuck. this video helped me out alot
Having other versions of the APK in your Google Drive saved the day. Thank you very much for your video.
Omg thank you so much I thought my drone would just be useless. I used the first way to do it and it worked literally flawlessly.
Brilliant news ! Happy flying
@@GAVINHR I will thank you so much
Thank you. Had a documentary to go shoot tomorrow with the Mini and the app wouldn't open. I freaked out an went to RUclips to see if something had happened and yours was the first video. We appreciate people like you. 👍
You're very welcome! Hope it went well
Tack!
I just invested in an MA2 and was kinda disappointed that the Fly app might not work with my “older” Samsung Tab A. Rather than try to make it work, I went ahead and started some research as to what smaller, less expensive, tablet would work for me. I decided on the Samsung Tab A7 Lite. I found somewhere on the web that people were getting that to work. The size and price was right and also appeared it had the “minimal” requirements for the app. Now, I haven’t actually used the set up yet BUT, this video REALLY helped me out. !! The app loaded and “looks” like it should work. Time will tell I guess. Thanks SO much for this info.
Very welcome!
Greetings from Philippines 🇵🇭
Thank you so much! Thought my drone was broke!
Just followed your tutorial and voila! I finally fly my drone again! Thank ypu so much Sir Gavin! Salute!
March 2023; I went to DJI Download Page via Chrome (on both a Galaxy S23Plus - Android 13, and Galaxy Tab A - Android 11,) selected DJI Go 4, and was presented with "Download APK" which I selected. I clicked through the Chrome security warning, and the app downloaded without issue. The DJI Go 4 app loaded right up and connected with my Mavic Pro. BRILLIANT THANK YOU!!!
Got the s22 ultra and was stuck. This worked perfectly with no hassle or fuss. Great video, liked and subbed for this!!
freakin awesome!!!..I haven't launched nor flown my mavic mini in a year and tried to open the app on my Galaxy S20+ Ultra and it wouldn't. Tried uninstall, reinstall, install from Galaxy store and was unsuccessful. this video helped greatly...thank you very much!!
Thank You Sir very much. I went out and bought the top of the line Samsung S22 Ultra which was a 1000 dollar phone so I could fly attached to a great smart phone with a very bright screen, just to get home and find it wasn't compatible with my Air 2 and Mini 2. But following your instructions here worked perfectly! Subscribed. Well done and again Thank you. It passed the take off and hover test. It also passed the video feed test. Going out now to give it a full test. I'll let you know the results.
Brilliant news! Happy flying 😊
This guy here explaining this fix with the apk installer is a genius, my dji go 4 works after I follow his step by step instructions, thank you my friend it's up and running.
I have subscribed my friend,you are very helpful.your like the mad scientist ha ha 😂 🤣and superb instructor on how to install things for Dji apps,and information as well
And information as well
Thank you very much and I'm glad you are flying!
This video helped me out a ton!!! After fighting for 5 hrs with this drone, I found this video, done exactly what he said, and everything works now. Thank you for helping me
You’re welcome! Happy flying
Thankyou so much for doing what Dji can't seem to do. I downloaded the go4 app from your link and it works perfectly on my galaxy s10+.
Thanks again you got me flying again
Bought a Samsung s22 and haven't been able to fly sense,,ugh. But with your instructions I'm a happy pilot again! Thanks.
I can not thank you enough! It's unacceptable that it does not work on android after such a purchase. My friend, DJI owes you a lot 4 helping newbies such as us! Subbed!
You're welcome ☺️
Hahaha you've changed this piece of junk into flying photo machine once again working making whole family happy thanks to its beautiful shots. So thankful you can't imagine. Thank you so much.
Awesome, I updated my Samsung phone yesterday and the DJI app stopped working. Ended up using an old phone that had DJI on it.
Followed your video just now and it works perfect on my Samsung again.
🤟😁
Fantastic advice, problem solved in 5 minutes, DJI should pay per view for this advice.
😲 OMG! I'm back! Thank you so much. You don't understand how frustrating this was.
I went to D.R. and couldn't fly. I was so upset with DJI.
Thank you, Thank you.
You're welcome 😁
Haven't been able to fly until I found this video. Simply followed your easy instructions and Voila! I'm back in the air. Thanks from the Buckeye State, Shipmate!
Most welcome!
Sir you just don't know! I was about to sell my MP2 after not flying for about 4 months. You just made me smile soooo hard. Instructions were easy and worked like a charm. I'll get my 1st flight in tomorrow. Thank you!
You're welcome! Happy flying
Dude. Can I marry you? I haven't flown in a couple of years. Went to open the app and boooom. I wanted to cry! This video definitely is a life saver!!!!
You’re very welcome !
So initially I checked my Lg G8 device with Aida64 device specs check and indeed my phone is supposed to be up to snuff and powerful enough according to the spec's to run. With the Arm processor etc 64bit etc etc for operating the DJI fly app.. However.. I tried with a apk installer and without just using my files app, cannot get it to download. Upsetting but fortunately my saving grace,I have a gigantic Samsung Galaxy s6 on Android 12 so I'm going to try that and see. Ideally I want the phone, the whole idea of the mini 2 is compact and easy which a 10"+ tablet honking out of my back pocket to fly the thing isn't ideal but at least I don't have to cancel the mini 2 I just ordered. Your process did allow the tablet to finally work with the app, I can't say thank you enough. Thanks so much for your help, really easy and thorough, GOD bless.
Thanks!
Welcome!
Works 100%
Thank you so much. The fact that the company hasn't resolved this (or found a more obvious way of finding the solution) is beyond me. But thank you
Gavin. You are a saviour. I have been losing the will to live trying to get my Spark up in the air and now flying again so great work on this video.
Thanks
Took the Mini 2 out on a long range flight. Not even one flicker on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. Performed perfectly. Phone didn't even get hot and the video was perfect. So cheers. I'll be testing it on a Mavic Air one next. using GO 4 app. I'll let you know.
Pleased to hear it !
Hi Gavin -
After several days of trying to fix my DJI Fly app with ZERO success, I was able to get back flying after installing DJI FLY APP 1.6.12, which you so graciously provided on your Google Drive share. Thank you SO much!!
What I find most interesting is that DJI FLY APP 1.6.12 is not available on the DJI website. The latest version available there is DJI FLY APP 1.6.9. Why is that?? LOL
Thanks again man!
What is even more interesting is the graphic on the DJI website shows 1.6.8!
@@GAVINHR Eggzackly! HAHA 😂
It didn't just worked on Samsung, I tried it on my vivo phone also and it worked, thanks so much for the tip
Thanks for this information! I had been on DJI's website and seen the updates, but I had never downloaded anything outside the Play Store so I passed on it. Thanks to your info my UAV is back in the air.
You're very welcome !
Under rated gentleman right here he deserves the best life and millions of views thank you !
Awesome almost been a year since I played with my Mavic mini gone through 2 phones and lost my drone. I found it and could fly and came across your channel awesome work!
Thanks for this. I just got a Galaxy S22 today and couldn't install the GO4 app. Now it's installed and working. :)
I can't thank you enough. I am getting ready to go out and film for a new video and the app wouldn't open. With your video I'm back up and flying. Wouldn't have been possible without you. Many thanks!
Happy to help! Happy flying
I live in the Caribbean and this video got me flying my mavic 2 zoom again. Brilliant stuff.
MERCIIIIII ! Je cherche une solution depuis 6 mois! Ca refonctionne ENFIN. The GOAT!
I had issues with the APK installer it said problems parsing the package, I then went to download your file and had the same message, that alerted me to the fact that the file hadnt completed the download on my slow connection so you might want to say that in the APK installer the file saize should read 395 Mb before you try to install. That done all works thank you :)
Update latest DJI APK now 418.49 mb
Ive been so frustrated with my connectivity of app and drone. Ive missed so many shooting opportunities of some beautiful places with these damn bugged updates. But your site is a blessing! Thank you much love ❤️
Thanks Gavin, that's great & good news for an old guy flying an old drone. Keep up the good work, you are helping a lot of people out there to keep flying. Cheers
Thank you so much, tried 100 different methods and this is the only one i have tried that has got it working! legend!
Happy to help :)
You saved my day. Needed my Mavic for a big job tomorrow
Subbed! I came from a trip, spend time & money just to find out my dji fly keeps on crushing. I was frustrated but I'm glad I found your solution. Thanks!
Works as been said. Also with the newer 1.6.x version. Samsung M32 (for affordable screen brightness)
I don't trust my iPhone 12 pro max anymore with drone. The screen just goes off when the phone overheats. That's why I bought the eco Samsung.
Wooooohooooo!!
Mate I was about to sell my drone.
Thank you for this
WOW...I followed you step by step and it worked....unbelievable...cheers mate!
Here I was about to stick my drone in the closet for my trip to South Carolina's coast. Thank you so much for saving the day!
Holy crap man, thanks so much for such a simple fix!! Had a Samsung S20FE for over a year now and can finally fly my freakin Mavic with it! Super good easy, quick, fix, thanks so much! Only thing I'd make sure people know is that you have to use an actual browser (eg. Chrome) on your phone and not just the 'Google' button to search and access the DJI Download Center. If you just use the Google button to search for the DJI Download Center and then try to download the apk from there, it won't actually download to your phone. If you use a browser it works exactly as you said with no issue. Cheers!
If you need more topics. The reset and delete data options are available in an new update also for the mini 2.
You saved my dji adventures with this trick. That's so much
Thank you. From the USA. I cannot believe that this item is so expensive and there are so many bugs to fix.
Thank you so much for putting this video together and having the APK files on your Google Drive I was unable to get it to work directly from DJI but went to your website and managed to pull down in October file and it worked great much appreciated
I should have seen your video way before. It just saved my trip to Italy on my last day. Thank u😀
It's ok :) happy flying
It worked! thanks a lot. It's been more than six months since I didn't use my drone because of that. Wonderful content!
You're welcome!
Thanks for that. It took me ages to get my batteries charged after not using my Mavic Pro for over a year & then the app wouldn't work. Thanks again!
You are the man. Once I figured out how to download your apps onto my phone, if worked like a champ. THANK YOU
two years i bought the DJI Mini, but... my Samsung could not use the DJI Fly app :(
so there was a good alternative, Rainbow, works perfectly.
Now i have the Minis 2SE, but Rainbow dont support this one.
And now of a sudden, my Samsung can have the dji app... and downloaded it, like a miracle.
I always saw on the DJI site, the compatible phones, and always wonder why only so few compatible Samsung mobiles were on the list, realy ...
unbelievelable in 2024 also.
And also a good video this one
Where do you get rainbow? I've a newer Samsung and just won't work
you are a life saver!!! I have a S 22 Ultra and it worked. There were two apk that showed up I just had to download the larger one but it worked!
Thanks alot for this video. I was getting super frustrated not being able to open the dji app. I was up and running in five minutes after watching this video
Oh my God dude thank you. I've had a $1000 paper weight for over a year. I can finally fly it.
Happy flying :)
Hey did I miss you mention how you got the dji go 4.0 app to work, I have a spark that's not supported with the dji app...
Thanks for your prompt reply Gavin, take your comments onboard. Any tablet you would suggest similar size to the ipad mini 4 that would do the job & not break the bank. Cheers
Thanks for this video, was not finding a solution, you changed my brick drone into an eagle drone! Am using it in Afrika - Tanzania, my first drone and first flight ever! Thanks man, memorial day! Best tutorial on this initial software and this first time drone registartion issue! Great!
You're very welcome
Great work sir. I just got a mini 2 and really was struggling to download the app... I even got a new phone and still it wasn't having it. Luckily, I stumbled across this video and it sorted it.
Thanks.
bless you. may you get all the green lights while driving. may no one ever cut you off on the road. may your pillow always be cool. may all the good things happen to you
I'm sure this video was well-meant, but we are now in 2024, with Android 14 and loads more new phones. Mines is a new Samsung A55 . I anticipate issues with it. I am about to check out all the recommendations, as well as other videos if available. Thanks for helping others in the past.
Thank you, it worked as described. I have an S24 Ultra. Keep up the great work.
Thanks very much. I was worried I won't fly. It won't be a fly again. But you have told me and it's fixed it. Working
Thank you so much, I moved to android and was looking for ways to install dji fly. this was super helpful thank you so much 😊
You Sir are amazing. I couldn't get the app to work and by watching your video I got it to work. Thank You!
You're welcome! Happy flying
Thank you... it is a big help for me
Thank you so much! I followed your instructions and am now able to run DJI Go 4 on my tablet.
Which apk did you use to get go 4? The ones I'm downloading are got for the fly
Thank you for sharing! Version 1.12.6 worked for my Samsung tablet A9 plus😊
