Why won't my dji mini 2 connect to the controller?

[@sizweml]

The RC was off bro. When you press the power button once on the RC it only shows the battery level. You had to turn it on the same way as the drone. I'm sure you have it figured out now.

[@GrooveOn]

Nice video, I've had the exact same issue but I fixed it!!! What I eventually found the cause to be was that my phone's USB connection was faulty! Even though my phone charges, when I plugged it into a PC, it did not show up as a recognised device. You must have this to communicate with the controller. I used another phone, downloaded the DJI fly app and boom all working!! You do not need to press anything to connect, if it's all set up correctly, it will automatically recognise your drone type. Good luck!

SOLVED! I had the same problem with my RC not connecting to a new Android Tablet that I got because it had an HDMI output port on it that I planed to use with HDMI goggles to fly my Mini 2 FPV. The RC had always connected to my Samsung phone but would not connect to the tablet. The tablet worked fine with my Skydio RC though. I kept trying various cables and adapters including an OTG adapter and finally found a combination that worked every time! The first was with a specific USB A male cable into a USB A female to micro usb OTG adapter into a micro usb to USB C adapter then this adapter end into the RC with the other end of the cable with the USB C connector into the tablet. Since then, I have found out that I can use the same combination with the exception of just using a USB A female to micro USB adapter in place of the OTG adapter. The thing that is very critical is a few USB A male to USB C male cables will work but most won't! I have only two that worked and one was short (about 5") and the other was long (about 3') so length does'n seem to matter either. The only way of knowing which cable will work is to try it.

[@TomLeeman]

Excellent tips I’m sure that not only will I but all of our viewers enjoy your information very good enjoy your drone and thanks for watching

[@vincenzopromedia]

Why use type A at all? Why not just get a replacement for the DJI controller cable? Skip the type A cable, and just use another micro USB to USB C. Male to male with no adapters.

[@muscleboundmovers9446]

I know you probably already fixed this since it was so long ago, but mine wouldn't work because my phone was not compatible with the latest upgraded version that recommended on the instruction manual. So I called DJI Support and gave them my phone model number and they are going to send me a link to an updated software version for my phone. I have an A series Samsung and DJI assured me that even though it's not on the list of compatible phones on their support page, they confirmed that it is compatible and they are going to send me updated software to work with my phone.

[@TomLeeman]

I did have to update the firmware on the drone and then I had to update the software on my iPhone, so yeah that’s probably it but then I found out that one press and then a press and hold on both of them and then you have to wait a couple minutes before it like initiates so each time I did it, and I have the drone backwards to the back of the drone facing me, and then I would have to wait and then it will pop up so anyway good luck with your drone. Thank you for the comments and thanks for watching.

[@muscleboundmovers9446]

@@TomLeeman Hey Tom, I just got off the phone with DJI Support and they told me that they have not finished testing my Samsung A13 5G and it is not yet compatible with the Mini 2. I also have other phones and devices like old Samsung Notes 4 and 5, iPad 68 and Nord 10 5G, but DJI told me none of these have been tested or are compatible either. Man this is frustrating. I have two other lower quality drones SG906 Beast Pro and EXO Ranger that I can fly until I find a solution. Do you know of anyone that has been successful with a third-party app like Rainbow or Litchi? It seems that these apps claim to work with more phones than DJI has bothered to completely test. DJI can not even give me a date as to when they will complete the testing compatibility of my A13 so that's really frustrating knowing that I might have to send this drone back or buy a new phone.

[@user-2df90a0z1]

Found the solution! The phone connection port on my iPhone 11 was dirty and full of lint and dirt from being in my pocket all the time so the connection wasn't good. It would charge my phone while plugged into the DJI controller but didn't communicate with it. Pockets are pretty dirty and carry dirt and lint that gets inside the phone's charging port over time. I just wrapped the male end of the charging connector with a tiny bit of cotton from a Q-Tip, soaked the cotton in alcohol, and used it to probe the port to clean it. It worked like a charm after that! I still waited 15 minutes until the stupid "liquid detected" message on my iPhone went away. You probably don't have to wait because mine was functioning perfectly and communicating with the DJI controller after that.

[@TomLeeman]

Talked to DJI or a computer that sounded human anyway. They mentioned all the same things we have already done. Useless. Then said send it in. I’m Sure it not free service so I’m buying something new. My advice : don’t upgrade firmware . Mine flew perfect for 4 years prior to that.

Your'e talking outta ya ass. Everything in the states is from china as you do not produce anything yourselves...

[@Nateisgr8]

You have to give a short then long press on the controller

[@TomLeeman]

Thanks for that tip it works

[@TheFujiwuji]

Doesn't work. My mini 2 drone won't connect to the controller. :(

[@TomLeeman]

Make sure both are charged and what you’re going to do is one press on the start button on the controller and then press and hold the lights will blank and you’ll hear some sounds than one press on the drone and a press and hold and you’ll hear some sounds and the propellers will shake a little bit then set your downtown in your lunch area with a back facing you and sometimes it takes a while for it to connect but be patient good luck thanks for watching

@@TomLeeman Yes, I did everything exactly as you said... I start up the controller with the press and hold (blinks green) and then do the press and hold on the drone... til it's blinking green. When I try to "pair" the devices on the DJI app, they are not communicating and there is no connection or acknowledgement of the pairing. The controller sends a non-stop beeping signal for about a minute, and then it gives up when it won't connect to the drone. So frustrating this whole process.

Short press long press to turn on transmitter

[@TomLeeman]

If you've come here looking for a solution, you can skip this video.

[@TomLeeman]

To turn it on press once then press and hold you’ll hear a ring or beeping sound and do the same with a drone should work thanks for watching

[@SmookyMargiela]

I found out it was the cable that was faulty on the controller that connects to the iPhone had to buy another cable

[@TomLeeman]

i found the solution. had the same probleme on my huawei Y9s. at first it worked fine for a month and one day it just stopped could not connect any more to the drone. i have tried everything, download the dji fly again and again, etc...used other phones, used several different cables, type c to usb adaptors, made sure to do everything i red on the internet and nothing happened. made sure all the batteries where charged, folowed the connection sequence, updated the software, went on the dji help faq, etc....was driving me crazy when i finaly tried on my friends's phone as mentioned as of one of the compatible phones on the dji web site. guess what....it worked and is stilll works perfectley fine.....a xiaomi note 10 pro. why?how? i don't realy know it just works......

[@TomLeeman]

[@almostabigj]

Bro, the RC was off for the whole duration of the video... If the RC is on, it will show green light ... 🤦

[@TomLeeman]

Excellent tip. Thanks.

[@yyohimbe1]

The black wire with USB port to the phone was not seated all the way in

[@TomLeeman]

Good tip. Thanks.

[@Tintin.22-x3s]

En voyant tous les commentaires qui disent de prendre plusieurs câble de connexion ou d'appeler dji ou faire n'importe quel manipulation ca ne sert à rien si vous avez ce problème c'est juste que ci vous utilisez le câble avec les deux connexions en type C vous avez avez un sence pour le brancher si il et branché dans le mauvais sance sa ne fonctionne pas

[@TomLeeman]

So you have to turn on your controller by a press and press and hold in the same thing with the drone you want the back of the drone facing you and you have to make sure that you have your app working on your phone it will work good thanks for watching

[@puzzleshx]

The rc is off you have to double tap on the button

[@TomLeeman]

Thanks for that information and have fun with your drone
