iPlay 60 Mini Pro + DJI Fly

Good afternoon. Can you tell me if there is a solution to the problem of docking a tablet with a remote control for controlling a DJI drone? When connecting the tablet with a Type-C – Type-C cable to the DJI RC N1 remote control, the tablet is permanently disconnected and reconnected to the remote control. However, it is not possible to change the connection mode (file transfer, MIDI, charging, etc.). Can you recommend something to solve this problem?

Have you ever tried with the usb c hub?

I have trouble connecting usb c earphone(samsung EO-IC500) but i could connect via usb c hub.

I haven’t tried it. Thanks for the advice. Do you use any special USB-C HUB or any other?

I think every usb c hub will work.

I tested 2 different hubs and they all worked.

Unfortunately, it didn’t help. I tried three different hubs, but it doesn’t work.

Have you managed to fix your issue?

Some newer Android devices(phones/tablets) come with USB connection set to default as “charging only – no data”. Probably a security measure, but basically when you plug-in a USB cable to this kind of Android device and connect it to your PC/MAC, TV, another mobile device, external storage disk, or in this case a drone remote, the USB port defaults to “charge-only” state.

But for your tablet to work properly with the drone remote – a full “data-transfer” handshake need to be established. Same goes if you want to connect your tablet to a PC in order to transfer files to and from, like the pictures you took on your tablet, and you want to transfer them to your PC. You need to establish full “data transfer” connection.

To do that, normally after you connect cable between tablet and PC, have to go to “USB connections” option on your Android device(by pulling down notification menu on your tablet), which normally will show you 3 options:
1. No data transfer – charge only
2. File transfer/Android Auto
3. Transfer photos (PTP)

Some tablets like Lenovo have additional options like:
USB Thethering
MIDI
Smart Connect

Anyway, you need to pick “File transfer” option to establish full “data transfer connection” between your Android device and PC or a drone remote.
However, doing this everytime is tedious, also connections sometimes brake.

So, if you want to make sure that whenever you plug-in your tablet to your drone remote or a PC – and you always want to get “data-transfer connection” by default – you need to set this on your tablet. Some tablets like Lenovo have this settings menu in their “Settings” app. But as far as I know, AllDoCube iPlay Mini tablets don’t.

STEP 1: So you have to go to the “developers options” to make those changes.
To do that, you have to go to:
“Settings app” > System or About device > “Build number” or “OS version” – and tap on “Build number”/”OS version” 7 times.
Like in this video:

Once you are in the “Developer options” menu (usually somewhere under “additional settings” in the “Main Settings app”, there will be a setting:
“USB default connections” or “Default USB configuration”, go there and most likely the default is set to “no data transfer”, so change it to “File transfer”.

STEP 2: In the developer options, You also have to turn on these two things:
“USB Debugging”
“USB Debugging(Security settings)” – if available.
This helps with USB OTG connection between drone remote and DJI Fly app.

Setting the above options, should make “data transfer” as a default connection when you connect your tablet to your drone remote, and hopefully this fixes your issue.
And you no longer need to pull down notifications menu to select USB connection method..

Please try this, and let me know, because I would also like to buy iplay 60 mini pro for my DJI remote.

 

I’ve tried to do all this. The short answer is that it doesn’t work anyway. A more detailed answer is that regardless of the default USB operating mode, when connecting the remote control to the tablet, the USB port control point in the tablet becomes inactive, nothing can be changed, the tablet even connects to the remote control and the drone for a while, even the video and parameters from the drone are visible for a short time, but at least once a day 2-3 seconds as if the USB port is reset and connected again. And so it is all the time. For information, when connecting a Xiaomi phone or Samsung tablet, there is no need to switch the port – the port is automatically configured by the connected device. And finally, the official technical support of Alldocube replied that the ipad mini 60 pro tablet does not work with DJI and they do not plan to make any changes to fix the situation.

No

Well that sucks.

Alldocube iplay 50 mini pro worked fine with DJI, so I thought iplay 60 mini pro would be a nice upgrade due to bigger battery and other new things.

You mentioned you have this problem with DJI RC-N1 remote for DJI mini3pro. Have you tried using this tablet with DJI mini4pro and new DJI RC-N2 remote?

Maybe your old RC-N1 remote is causing that issue? Maybe you can check with someone who has the new remote and DJI mini4pro?
