MA2 missing video and some controls, but some is showing up

Chris Epp

When running dronelink it appears to connect to the MA 2, but some fields are not populating data (eg. controller battery level) as well as video output. This is release 140.

    We removed MA2 support from 140. It will be back in the next build.

    Is there any way to use the last version, and get support with the MA2, while we wait for the next build?

    You can install 137 on iOS (TestFlight). I am not aware of a way to do this on Google Play.

    Ah, I would have expected no connection at all if not supported. Thank you. 

    Do you have the previous 137 APK that can be downloaded for a link somewhere? I can do some testing on that one and get more familiar with it while waiting for the next build. I don't know what your build frequency is, may not be worth it.

    Hi Chris. Hope this is what you want for Android Beta.

    It would be if the page had links to earlier builds, but I expect that is always the latest build. Thank you though.

    I just downloaded and installed the latest beta for Android 64 bit and it is still version 137.  I suspected it would be the latest version 140 as you mentioned, but it was not.

    If you download the APK then you can probably still get 137 (which has MA2 support), but the latest build in Google Play (140) has it removed.

    Thanks for the clarification Jim. Will this normally be the case, or will the .apk download match Google Play at some point? Just curious if there will always be a way to roll back to the previous beta version while testing the MA2.

    This is usually not the case. We try to keep the Play store in sync with the APK but these are strange times with the DJI SDK (it is very buggy at the moment).

    I Figured the Test Flight app was the same for both IOS and Android where it has the current and older versions. I don’t use Android so I’m not familiar with it. Maybe it’s different. Good luck and enjoy everyone.

    I downloaded the apk link and was lucky enough to still have it be 137. Turned off Auto Update for it for now in case the apk download get's changed. It would be nice to keep the last few versions in there for testing between versions if needed.

    Jim,

    Why did you remove MA2 from 140 build?
