UPDATES
9/6/2022:. If DJI Go4 current app version 4.3.50 does not open on your phone try version 4.3.48 being given out by DJI support one person at a time when they are contacted by customers who have not been able to use their product for over a month due to conflicts with Android after Android updates in July and August of 2022. Here is link to download 4.3.48:
drive.google.com/file/d/1kCAw...
- 8/31/21: DJI Go4 still has not been updated by DJI yet so many with Android 12 and 13 still have issues running app. Need to wait for new DJI Go4 version, or use a different phone/tablet the app works on, or consider using third party app like Litchi.
- 8/24/2022: DJI has released DJI Ronin 1.5.2 (3777) which may resolve crash issue with app for you.
- 8/24/2022: When DJI updates their apps they often fail to change the version indicated on their website for days, weeks or months. So even though website says 1.5.0 when you click the link the fil you download may be a newer version such as 1.5.2
- 8/18/2022: DJI has released DJI Mimo 1.7.26 which may resolve issue with that app: • DJI Mimo Release 1.7.2...
- 8/17/2022: DJI officially has released DJI Fly 1.6.12 which many say fixes issue: • DJI Fly App 1.6.12 - W...
- 8/11/2022: If apps continue to close when you open them even after remove them, download new from DJI, and install them again, here are some options to consider:
A. Purchase an older Android phone or tablet with earlier version of Android which may still be compatible with the DJI app you are using.
B. Switch to using a Apple Phone or Apple iPad as DJI supports getting app through Apple Store and there seems to be less issues with Apple version of DJI Apps
C. Wait for DJI to update app you are using to function. This may take days, weeks, months, or for some phones/devices/android versions may never happen.
D. Sell your DJI products and purchase other ones.
E. If using DJI drones consider using an alternate app such as Litchi if it is possible to use without having the DJI app installed on phone flylitchi.com/

Seems like a lazy issue. I have been dealing with this since at least October of last year. I would have thought DJI would have wanted their products to work for everyone hassle free.

not working for me

This has been, or being updated to .50 release. I've just updated and its fine.... djigo4

[@dennix2009]

Thank you so much! Went to fly my mavic mini and was bummed that I could not open the app after my phone updated. The instructions to get the app working again was easy to follow and was clearly detailed.

[@rongauvin8090]

I can't thank you enough. Seems as though DJI has really just dropped the ball when it comes to using an android phone with their products. Your information is a real help, thanks again.

[@apexchaser6187]

DJI didn't drop the ball, it's just that Google is the only one of the app providers, which did not want to freely make available the spyware that makes every single click, every single picture, all of your contacts, your text, conversations, and all of your files available to mainland to China.

[@TheJWC56RSA]

Blasphemer!!!!

[@samtroyer1457]

I still can't use the app!

[@MarcusGlass]

@@samtroyer1457 Updates came out last week for Fly and Mimo to fix conflicts after recent Android updates which allowed many people to use those apps successfully again. Hopefully they will release updates for Go4 and other apps soon. Ability to install and use apps successfully so can be impacted on specific model of phone, other apps, past phone updates, and so forth. What app, phone and android version do you have? Maybe contact DJI to see if they might have beta firmware or if they support your phone and android version?

Hi Marcus, thank you very much for your video on how to fix the DJI app problem. It worked effectively for me and your step by step process was easy to follow. I just came back from Thailand, I really thought my DJI mini 2 didn't work from another country. Coming back home recently and I found out about this problem. Once again, thank you so much and I'll definitely share your video to my friends who own dji drones. - from Australia 🇦🇺

[@MarcusGlass]

I am glad it is now working for you although bummer about Mini 2 to Thailand and not being able to get app to work until you returned home.

[@Roshkakad]

I can’t thank you enough. I was close to regretting buying the product and moreover disappointed that I couldn’t find a solution from any forums. Big big thanks for patiently creating this entire tutorial!

You are welcome. I am happy video was of help.

[@dazsmash5281]

Absolutely amazing. Fired up my DJI 2 hours ago and couldn't open the app. Messed around doing Google searches, downloading the file from dji yet couldn't open it. Thought I'd got an unusable drone until I found this, followed your instructions and bingo, it works. Thank you so much, dji.....please link this video for your users, its brilliant.

For months I was not able to fly the drone. I followed your instructions and now I'm good to go. Thank you so much.

[@omni4376]

There's a reason DJI isn't providing the app via the app store anymore. Installing APKs from sources outside of the Play Store is a security risk and the fact DJI asks you to do so tells you all you need to know about this company.

[@aWhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

...yep, China (CCP)

[@brians7181]

@@aWhiskeyTangoFoxtrot From River Loop Security: ...We reviewed the DJI Mimo app’s binaries and observed the network traffic between the internet and mobile devices using the app. We could not investigate everything, but did make several discoveries that may be of concern to US citizens and companies using DJI products (and to policy makers concerned about national security). We hope you’ll read the entire post, but it you are short on time, here is an overview of what we found: DJI’s Mimo app uses libraries that request personal data about users’ religious and political affiliation, as well as security settings from connected social network APIs. The DJI Mimo app sends data through insecure means to servers behind the Great Firewall of China, where it is accessible to the Chinese Government. The DJI Mimo app requests from users (via the OS) access to fine and coarse location data, the ability to manipulate WiFi state, read SMS messages, and read logs. The DJI Mimo app fails to meet basic security practices for users’ data, leading to potential disclosure or modification in transit. DJI’s Terms of Use Agreement allows user data to be shared with the Chinese Government. Even without user consent, the DJI Mimo app sends sensitive information via unsecured means to third-party servers, where the Terms of Use Agreement supports cooperation with the Chinese Government.

[@nicolaprestage4272]

Marcus I have spent three days online and on the phone with DJI trying to resolve this problem and have got nowhere. Your video has worked and I can't thank you enough. I have sent your video to DJI suggesteing they share this with every Andriod user with the same problem and maybe they should employ you as a you are way better then thier technical team!

[@unknownorigin01]

This fix WORKS! I switched over from an old iPhone to a new Samsung galaxy s20 and my apps never worked. This actually fixed it. Thank you so much!

Absolute life saver. Thanks so much for this. Endless speculation on why this happened and why dji seem to only publish their updates on their site for the android apps!

[@MarcusGlass]

Glad to have saved your life in a figurative sense. Maybe literally if without this video you might have thrown your DJI product at a wall via anger and frustration causing it to bound back and hit you in the nose pushing bone into you brain and killing you.

[@phillipmaguire4671]

You are a Life saver. I now have the DJI fly app on my android. I don't understand why DJI removed themselves from allowing it to be done on the Google Play Store. I just hate this thing with Apple and Android, where you can access or connect to different things on one, but not the other. Everyone is tired of it...

[@MarcusGlass]

Yes it would be nice if every product had the identical app available directly from Google and Apple with same features. It is frustrating when you find difference of product features or application function when using Apple versus Android. In my experience it seems most always favor Apple and often have features not available in Android.

[@MarcusGlass]

[@MarcusGlass]

Sorry about your phone in the Canal but it is good that S21 Ultra is working for you. Some people say apps still not working on S21 after following instructions . So maybe sometimes it depends on which carrier phone it is and what android version or security version is being used. Have a great time flying.
