I recently bought a Phantom 3 Advanced and have been learning to operate using my Samsung S5 connected to the controller. Because of the image size I decided to upgrade to a tablet and in my wisdom (or lack of it) I purchased a Samsung Tab A. Both the S5 and Tab A have the same Android 6.0.1 operating system. They both have the same DJI Go app. The first time I used the tablet was indoors and it worked perfectly. A couple of days later I went out to practice follow me mode. The screen showed blank except for some status indicators that could not be altered. The app did not recognize the drone. The camera button only showed for the Inspire. I uninstalled the app and tried again, tweaked a few things on the tablet, like USB debug and made sure the MTP protocol was activated. I got it to work but it displayed compass needed calibration. That action completed all seemed well until I turned it off. Next time it was back to square 1. DJI help say that because my Tablet is not on the 'approved list' there is no guarantee that it will work. If I substitute my phone at any time it works perfectly.
Throughout all this I can still operate the drone but get no feedback to the tablet. Can anyone please advise about a possible remedy short of buying another tablet?
