Strange Live Video Feed Problem P3S

[TechMan Ethan]

Hello, I looked all over the forums and couldn't find anyone with this problem. Obviously from the title my live video feed is not working, but it is different than what everyone else seems to have (from what I've read). I have had my P3S for about 2 months now and it has worked flawlessly since. However, I wanted to use a tablet rather than a phone as it is larger and my fingers aren't blocking the screen as much. So I hook up my tablet and everything is working except for the live video feed, just a black screen. When I switch back over to my phone, the video feed comes back on. I say it is different from most because it works on one device but not another. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 running Jellybean and the tablet is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0" also running Jellybean. I only use the phone for the phantom thus it is never connected directly to the internet so I may have a later version of the go app on there. I have contacted DJI via email but they haven't responded yet. Let me know if there is a forum with this problem being discussed. Thanks in advance!

Did you try reinstalling the app? that might help!

Just tried it - didn't work...

Did you try turning off local caching on tablet?

Added, if you take a picture, can you then see the picture when you bring up your flight log?
and can you play back a flight log?

I don't know what local caching is but yes I can take and see pictures and videos on the card but can't see what I am taking.

Then there might be a issue with your wifi board

Assuming the tablet is one that's in the supported devices list.
I have personally witness several app uninstall / reinstall operations fail, including the Go app, when just simply uninstalling, then reinstalling the app.
Then had success by:
Before uninstall, go to app manager and clear the app cache (do not clear app data, unless you have no important stuff like flight logs etc.)
Uninstall app
Shut down device and leave off for a minute or two
Restart device
Reinstall app

Like I said, I've had 3 problem apps in the past including Go, where the simple uninstall /reinstall did squat, but after following the above, succeeded

If you play back a flight log and you took pictures you can view those pictures. I didn't mean anything to do with the SD card.

Its somewhere in the settings for DJI Go.
Your mobile device caches video while you are flying.

I wouldn't think so if it works on his phone.
