What kind of phone? Do you see any of the other data from the app such as telemetry, battery levels, compass? If so, and all you're missing is video, you can check your camera settings. Be sure you're in AUTO. You can also check to be sure your ribbon cable is secure.
As to the beeping sound from the controller, can you describe the beeps? Is the battery in the controller fully charged?

my phone is a moto g4.i can see all the telemetry but at the top of the screen it says disconnected.battery on controller is fully charged,as soon as you turn the switch on the controller continues to beep and the red light will flash until you move the left stick,then the beep stops and light turns green.thank you for the response.
Though I've never experienced the beeping, the green light on the controller confirms the RC and the AC are linked. And as you stated, its flying. The only time my controller beeps is during a Return to Home event or the battery on the AC is low.
I have a Moto G6. I don't use it to fly, but I'll test it with my P3S and see if it can handle it. In the meantime, you might want to try re-calibrating the sticks on the RC.
If you know someone with a different phone or tablet, see if you can borrow it to test it out.
Does the left stick hold in the fully down position? If not , then the previous owner may have removed the mechanical locking tab and you are powering up with the left stick fully down. As soon as it moves from this position the beeping will stop.

Gary, I downloaded the app on to my Moto G6. Couldn't get past the "How To Connect" screen. Uninstalled and re-installed the app. Initially saw what I think you are seeing. Video was blank though I could see where my telemetry would go. Camera menu grayed out. I did notice the red "Not Connected" banner, so I shut down the AC and the RC and started over. Power up AC, then AC. Started the app and this time the camera button was blue. It was good to go.
It's been so hot here it's been a month since flying. The brief flight above my house in the cool evening air was short-lived but fun.
I doubt your G4 is the problem. Try a reinstall of the app.

thanks for your help first of all.ive uploaded the app already several times but nothing changes.could it be that maybe the unit has a faulty wifi transmitter.im thinking of sending it back
Not a bad idea. Sorry this happened to you. I just love my P3S. I hope you get a replacement.

Not on a P3S,
If the Remote is working correctly it is putting out a WiFi signal, your mobile device should be able to connect to it without an app, or the Phantom.

No cable is used with a Phantom 3 Standard. The controller connects with your mobile device via the wi-fi signal from the controller.

On you first post,
".i can see all the telemetry but at the top of the screen it says disconnected"
Did you have any values in the Telemetry?

no values in telemetry at all.i can find the phantom in the wifi on my phone,and.i see this (phantom3_232ae3).I push it and it says im connected but nothing works on the dji app.ive seen in other posts and youtube video that there is a password that 12341234 that is used to sign in but im not seeing it.i have a feeling that's my problem,but I cant figure out whats the next step.
hey guys I got it.finally came across a youtube video that showed an android phone like mine and the phone has to be on airplane mode before it will work.everythings working fine now!
