Yesterday while I was flying my Phantom 4 Pro, I noticed that there were screen tears on my tablet display. Just in case you don't understand what I am talking about, I am referring to screen tears as in mismatches in the video image feed similar to how tears form on a PC when there is a mismatch in frames per second between a graphics card and monitor in cases such as gaming. When I discovered the tears, I shut down my Phantom, remote and DJI Go 4 app on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet and rebooted them. I still had the video tears appear on my display and decided to abort the remainder of my practice flight.
Today. I checked the video feed out in the basement of my house. After powering up my tablet and app and connecting with the Phantom, I noticed a slight screen tear. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app on the tablet and the tear still appeared briefly then disappeared. I installed the app on my Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone and connected it with the Phantom and as far as I could tell, there were no tears on the video feed.
My tablet is in a black protective case. I have been flying the Phantom on a former middle school football field in my neighborhood. I have been flying in temperatures ranging in the 90s Fahrenheit. I looked at the camera on the Phantom and as far as I can tell there is no physical damage.
My only guesses to the cause of the problem are:
1. The outside temperature and sunlight has been impacting the circuitry on the Phantom, remote, and/or tablet.
2. There may be some type of signal interference from somewhere in my neighbor hood that is impacting the communication between the Phantom, remote, and/or tablet.
Would anyone be able to tell me the likely cause of the problem? Is it something that I may not have even thought about?
Thanks in advance.
