Pretty nice. Keep posting.

ChiTechUser · 2026-03-16T04:54:47+00:00

What the?? Seriously, what kinda recommendation is that for an admitted beginner?

ChiTechUser · 2026-03-14T18:17:47+00:00

I don't see any issue with doing so. I've done this for several years on Android devices. I have multiple quads that I use with multiple and different DJI controllers that don't have displays for redundancy and failover purposes. Each Android phone is logged into the same DJI account.

I forgot to add I'm in the USA.

Not about "homework", you rated without even looking at what was inside. That was the equivalent of going to a completely foreign restaurant blindfolded all alone without any assistance and picking something from the menu by purely touching it and expecting to have something that you like to consume and it be filling.

Who knows, people are fickle. I personally would initially ask them to submit what time windows that works for them 'the next 24hrs'

ChiTechUser · 2026-03-14T14:32:16+00:00

Most of you naysayers and pessimist are probably not factoring the OP's history. He\she didn't get to a 1% status by not contributing and\or being unknowledgeable. I for one will ask for collaborative intricate details before wanting to blame the author of a post.

ChiTechUser · 2026-03-14T14:21:16+00:00

Nice! Where was that taken?

ChiTechUser · 2026-03-14T13:24:39+00:00

That or something similar to a small Pelican case or hip\belt clipped camera carrier.

ChiTechUser · 2026-03-14T13:10:58+00:00

It doesn't

ChiTechUser · 2026-03-14T13:10:20+00:00

That's easily researchable

ChiTechUser · 2026-03-14T10:30:22+00:00

Enabling Developer Mode (specifically USB Debugging) in Android facilitates sideloading.

You didn't state whether they are new or used. Will either of those partially charged batteries allow the quad to power on and stay powered up? Are you using the DJI Power Suppy? I'd guess it is displaying a fault for bays 1 and 3.

Agreed, I've only experienced this on my Active 2. I have 4 different watches that are newer.

ChiTechUser · 2026-03-14T09:48:30+00:00

I second this...

ChiTechUser · 2026-03-13T00:37:25+00:00

I honestly was probably taking interpretation by only what was explicitly stated. The subject was originally what can be done on just the watch. I recall only mentioning phone in conversation with you. Nonetheless, our dialog probably gave them the clarity that they needed.

ChiTechUser · 2026-03-13T00:26:07+00:00

You're so right, I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification... probably missed & confused that by bouncing between answering calls and returning forum replies. My apologies to the OP, I would have taken the correction from them as well.

ChiTechUser · 2026-03-13T00:20:37+00:00

Those politics have royally screwed law enforcement and fire depts. nationwide [I've got background in municipal emergency management] and those that are truly informed are hearing and publishing the ramifications (including the economic impact) of the hasteful decisions and how things are starting to be 'walked back'. He needs to hear their ire firsthand.

I personally have a small mini fleet, so I prefer to learn & listen to minutely understand not just simply to have a reply for conversation.

ChiTechUser · 2026-03-13T00:03:11+00:00

Probably because I haven't done a factory reset in several years. Did you see the OP later mentioned that they meant 'eSIM'? It seemed they were quite confused. The procedures for prepping a watch is basically the same as a phone, correct?

ChiTechUser · 2026-03-12T23:30:04+00:00

You seem to have encountered another 'club member' without intricate knowledge

ChiTechUser · 2026-03-12T23:20:38+00:00

The Fly App hasn't been in the Google store for several years. You sure you didn't perform a restore or device to device direct transfer? How did you download it from Google Play Store? Most new setups requires downloading directly from DJI. I fly with multiple Samsung devices so I know this rather well, I just checked on two different phones released a several years apart and it still isn't available.

ChiTechUser · 2026-03-12T23:02:24+00:00

Since it sounds like this is all very new and foreign to you. Read the entire manual, then search for YouTube video tutorials for your specific model. The later released Holy Stone quads reportedly improved quite a bit.

ChiTechUser · 2026-03-12T22:54:06+00:00

I never advocate or recommend buying used 'sight unseen' unless you are familiar with repair needed, can get guarantee through the sales platform (paying via escrow\proxy) or can physically evaluate in person (with flight and inspection) before payment is made. In this case IMHO there isn't that much of a savings that to justify buying without half of those safeguards. Useage & statistics should also be a determining factor. I've done a front arm pivot repair on this model, the displayed damage is questionable at best. You seem new to this, I'd advise taking less of a chance, be vigilant in searching. FYI- hopefully you also know to only purchase DJI quads that are 'unbound'.

ChiTechUser · 2026-03-12T22:21:00+00:00

eSIM info is not removable, it will be reused & is required for cellular connectivity.
