All the controls are on the popup screen when you switch to F Mode on the controller

Did it work for you on your note 4

You have to have GPS turned on for it to work.

Do you have the Note in airplane mode? Turn that off, and then turn off wifi, blue tooth, and cellular individually. That will keep down radio interference, but leave gps on

Will give that a try. Thanks

Your Ipad/Android need a GPS inside.

All android devices have GPS. They don't limit functionality like Apple does

There is no interference from cell and Bluetooth. They are different frequencies having nothing to do with GPS or phantom functionality.

many note 4 have GPS issues ranging from long time to lock to inaccurate GPS. the DJI GO probably has a threshold accuracy before it will allow you to use follow-me.

I would download a third party GPS test from the android store and see how long it takes you to get a GPS fix and also your accuracy.. My first note 4 GPS never worked correctly - my replacement is much better.

Those frequencies have nothing to do with gps. But they do have something to do with Phantom functionality.

Why do you think there is a built in channel monitor?
Channel Interference
What do you think is making all of those ugly red lines popping up and down?
Channel interference from cell/wifi in close frequency with the Phantom
Is there a down side to turning cell/wifi/blue tooth radios off?
No.
Will leaving those radios on cause issues every time?
No
How many times do those radios need to cause an issue that may create a crash?
1
Is free fall free?
NO!!
YMMV

You couldn't be more lost! The channels in the freq monitor are all wifi frequencies, and all related to video transmission. They have nothing to do with control frequencies. And control frequencies are nowhere close to the frequencies used for Bluetooth or cellular service. And you cant monitor any of those channels. So... try again!

So what are the video frequencies? What are the control frequencies. What are wifi frequencies? What are cell frequencies? Has any radio in the history of man ever had bleed over from another transmission on a different frequency that effected either frequency?

You need to have sufficient GPS satellite lock for it to be enabled.

I didn't ask the questions because I don't know the answers. I asked the questions to see what your answers were. Maybe if you post them, I will have to apologize

You are unbelievably rude-- These folks are asking for help and you want to intimidate and insult them. Why don't you try to have a little grace and manners-- it would go a long way to folks who are already intimidated by the complexity of the Phantom.
