Topic: 1.0 and 2.0 Freeflight testing on HTC Desire

I was pretty curious to see how the app would work with my HTC because it was working really well with the older version. Very happy with the flight, video recording worked well and turned the altitude limiter up to 5m. All seemed to work nicely. Turning off video recording seemed to drop my controls while the video processed, scared me a bit lol. Too windy to play up at 5m for long but very happy that that seemed to work.

My wife got the 2.0 dialed into our other HTC Desire. We did have some troubles indoors with absolute mode but outside it was perfect. Took some streaming videos that look good but were way smoother on USB. Wish it was less windy.

Cheers, fly safe. smile

Re: 1.0 and 2.0 Freeflight testing on HTC Desire

I had to install a Gingerbread ROM and sideload the Freeflight application in order for it to work on my regular HTC Desire.  It's mostly good now; it has the occasional force-close, usually when I just start a flight, but it usually re-starts in time for me to regain control of the drone (or sometimes the drone just lands itself).  Also the video record and picture taking is a little flaky, I can usually get 5 or 6 pictures then the button just doesn't respond anymore. 

I'm on the latest drone firmware, which others here have warned against, but I've flown it high and far with no issues.
