![]() ![]() I've been flying the Mini2 a few times without any problems but haven't been doing so for about half a year. The only plroblem I have now is that it's dark outside, so I can't do my first flight until morning!!! I think the contacts in the DJI supplied leads are slightly shorter than standard USB plugs, so are prone to suffering from this issue. The USB lead I use to connect my phone to my laptop always worked fine (which was why it took me so long to consider poking around in the socket). I've plugged and unplugged multiple times, expecting the error to re-appear, but so far so good. It connected straight away and is working absolutely fine now! I got a bit more fluff out and tried again, not expecting any difference. I tried digging again, and really dug into the tiny gap beside the piece of plastic that sticks up in the middle of the micro USB. It still wouln't connect, but stayed charging this time. It didn't look enough make a difference but I tried again. I got a very thin, pointy splinter of hardwood ( I didn't want to used anything conductive) and dug out a small amount of fluff. The power pins on USB connectors are slightly longer than the data pins (so the power connects first when you 'hot plug' a device), and I wondered if the plug wasn't seating far enough in to the micro USB. I noticed it was now starting to charge, but then stopping after a few seconds then starting again repeatedly - something a lot of other people have also seem to have mentioned. ![]() Just before commiting to buy the Pixel off ebay I tried the hundredth attempt at connecting the RC and phone. I searched and searched and searched (I know we've all been there). I am using a Xiaomi MI A2 lite, which spec-wise should run DJI Fly fine, but it's not specifically on the supported list and I couldn't find anyone on any forums flying with it. The RC was charging the phone, but the app on the phone couldn't see the RC. I downloaded the app and tried to connect everything, but kept getting 'RC Not Connected to mobile device' error mesage. Sunday morning I collected it and charged it all up. So, in the early hours of Sunday morning I was surfing the net, as you do, and I discovered the Mini 2! One thing led to another an I ended up buying one from Argos. I bought an £80 GPS drone last Christmas, but the streamed video gets laggier and laggier until it freezes completely, and the video quality is rubbish anyway so I've given up flying it. I've been hankering after a Mavic Mini for over a year now and have not been able to justify the expense. I've seen many people with this problem across multiple DJI models and haven't seen my solution mentioned once. I'm posting this for other peoples info because I just wasted over 18 hours of my life searching forums, and came within seconds of spending £100 on a second-hand Pixel 2XL that I don't need! ![]()
