USB accessories bug with OTG

USB accessory bug: keep asking to connect

With some Android devices it happens that when you connect the phone / tablet via UB (OTG) cable to the remote controller (this applies to both Spark, Mavic Air. Mavic 1 and the Mavic 2 series remote controller) there is a dialog box appears if you want to connect with a check mark to remember this. The connection then fails and the box keeps on showing up (and doesn't want to leave) making it impossible to fly.

Various users have solved it in the following way:

  • Activate Developer mode on your phone / Android.
    • Search for Settings> About device> Build Number
      or Settings> System> Phone Info> Build Number
    • Tap the number (build number) 7x (a joke)
    • After a few taps, it will count down, continue until it activates.
  • Develop mode is now activated.
  • Scroll down until you see Debugging
  • Check the box "USB debugging"
  • Scroll down until you see "Select USB Configuration" and click on it
    (Sometimes this is also something with Charging / Charging)
  • Select the RNDIS (USB Ethernet) setting

The USB accessories (telephone tablet) should now work properly and the dialogue should no longer appear, or once only after which you can indicate that you no longer ask for it. Sometimes, unfortunately, this setting is not permanent and must be reset after every restart of the mobile device.
