Dear all,
I am becoming exceptionally tired at having Communist car style reliability with tablets, DJI Go 4 app reliability, etc.. Every 5 minutes almost I am getting grey screen right in the middle of a flight, sometimes at critical times, and an "Aircraft Disconnected". It is incredibly confidence sapping, very dangerous potentially, and sometimes even the RTH fails to kick in when that happens. I am using an NVidia Shield K1 tablet with Android 7.0. I am not interested in what is the "favourite" tablet of folk, or the favourite manufacturer, or any Apple iOS v Android arguments: I just sincerely want to know the answer to this question: "is there actually a tablet out there which has provided ABSOLUTELY SOLID reliability from start to end of flight and no matter what flight plans, app features, or changes you make in the DJI GO 4 app (mine is now on v4.13 after the most recent update), as I am only interested in ensuring I can run this damned machine without all the software crashing, or reporting conflicts, or reporting discrepancies - because when I go out in the field, I shut down all Wifi to avoid interference with the transmission frequencies to the aircraft and video up/ downlink, and use offline mapping. Today I went out and it was constantly grey screening on me, aircraft constantly disconnecting, and the only thing different today was a brand new Go 4 update (which I installed before popping out). However, I failed to connect the aircraft to DJI Assistant to see if there was a sister upgrade for the aircraft to go along with the DJI GO 4.13 update (did that a short while ago). However, in spite of conflicts between GO and the aircraft firmware (which basically screws up the camera's ability to function properly I notice), it STILL disconnects app from aircraft regularly! My experience with my P4 Pro is very disconcerting with constant software glitches and regular failures. With all this constant law and regulation changes, you cannot help but feel that, at some point, some aviation authority might even question DJI, or other manufacturers ability, to supply rock solid firmware and software that ensure the aircraft is fully under control AT ALL TIMES. I really do not feel DJI is anywhere near close to that status given my own personal experiences. I just want a set up that actually works - and I just need to hear of any set ups you have that provides that desperately desirable combination of "it works first time, every time, and does not crash/ fail to connect/ lose connection". That would be a utopia I am VERY keen to hear about!
Thanks very much.
