Life is fun and exciting if you dare. Adrenaline is good and tasty, just minimise the risk before doing anything.
 
OK tried to fly today with the Android version of the DJI Go app on my Nvidia Shield 16Gb Wifi tablet.
First flight no problems
Second flight i had 2 times disconnected error and 1 time i also had google service that crashed. With the google crash the App restarted and no problem anymore. With the disconnects one time the connection came back and the second time i had to restart the app fully.
My android version is 5.1.1.
It seems still a problem or is it my nvidia shield tablet ????? I have no idea ????
anyone has the same problems ???

I just landed from a flight with the previous app with my shield. After 4 minutes i got disconnected. Camera still works

Limit you max CPU frequency to 90%.
If you still experience problems then lower the app framerate (within Android) to 45.
Additionally, are you running a replacement Shield due to the recall?
If not, get you tablet replaced as the battery can cause overheating issues itself.
 
I didn't get a chance to fly yesterday due to my little girl being poorly. Hoping to get out tonight or tomorrow. Not sure I like the look of the new app, why have they combined/hidden the map view with the radar icon?

On a tablet the map and radar are separate. On my iPhone 6 Plus the layout is the same as Phantom, i.e. combined. Not so on iPad Mini or Air.

Had some flights today mainly to get my 5 batteries drained to 5%. Had the same experience as Marnix. 2 times the Pilot Go app stopped on my replaced 16Gb Shield (Android 5.1.1). The second time it asked to send the crash data which I managed to do. Needed a complete restart of the Pilot Go app to regain video connection. While the app crashed, the Inspire was fully controllable, so not really a big deal, unless you are not flying LOS!

Thank you! App auto updated on my Nexus 7 and was wreaking havoc. Thanks for the tips!

My biggest concern right now is that my Nvidia Shield Tablet was on the recall list so I'm waiting for my replacement tablet but I don't want to install the new DJI App. The Old App and previous FW are working great. I'm in no mood to be unable to fly or have all these app glitches since I have none right now. Anyone know how to get the previous DJI App from my old Nvidia Shield to my replacement Nvidia Shield?? Let me know. Thanks!
 
Plus 1
 
I'm using nvidia shield and flew 2 batteries, app crashed once and completely nerve wrecking...on the old app it will restart automatically,on the GO app I had to reboot the app completely, not acceptable DJI......

Do you have max CPU frequency limited to 90%?
If not, set it at that and try again.
 
What i notice that Gimbal settings if you change pich and yaw % or if you set the 3 different buttons that you have there once you leave the app they don t save the data you input.
I haven't spent much time playing with these new settings for the gimbal. Can someone explain what they're for? Are they presets to for the rate of the dial button that controls pitch or yaw?
 
I also have a shield tablet, how do you set the frame rate and CPU freq? Are they in the power settings or the actual DJI app settings?
They are under the Shield Power control.
Open it up and then tap on 'Apps' at the top.
Select DJI Go and hit 'custom' - you will find it in there.
