Hi, back again. So to reaffirm, DJI mini 3, using samsung A70 with version 259. The last mapping mission I flew I reported that I was using an s22 ultra and kept crashing, I switched to a70 and got.much further, so concluded was phone. However, my last mission failed at 52% of map because when it did RTH for battery change it would not take off again, I assumed was due to display showing only 2 satellites and the P-GPS message. At the time I didn't check the gps satellites available either uavforecast, but today I ran a test from garden, was going to do it at 2 intervals, first where there is a reported 18 Sat's visible and then later around 4pm when there are much less and flight not recommended...just been outside and still, the dronelink is showing only 2 Sat's available. Which cannot be possible, I will check next time with my dji remote.too. But is anyone getting the wrong number of Sats reported on dronelink app?

Ok so this gets more interesting. I was still getting the unable yo take off, and.the DL app showing only 2 satellites, so I downloaded a gps app.fpr.phone which told me it could see 15 satellites, so I then decided to test it using the dji fly app, which showed 22 satellites but then gave more info on why.i couldn't take.off,.it was because the rc1 had become unbound, I'm not sure how as it had been working fine. I paired it before by putting the drone into pair mode then holding the three buttons on rc1 but then I still.had to bind it, I'm wondering if there is a difference to binding and pairing?

But managed to.bind, and the error disappeared and got the ok to launch message, however back.on DL app, still only showing 2 satellites???

Dronelink just reports the number of sats that the DJI SDK tells us. It sounds like something else may be going on with your drone or the specific location. Have you tried it somewhere else?

Maybe check the devices font size. DL uses that for their dashboard and if set to large it will cut off the second digit. Mine is set at 100% which is perfect for me but if I go to 120% or especially larger it will not show the other digit. So 20 or higher will only display the first number which in your case is 2 if the DJI App is showing 22.
