I'm having an issue with the AP options are hard to see. @volate!lo.View attachment 3719

Can you try 1.14b (now in play store beta test) and report back if the issue is solved?

v1.14P Headless mode works but no longer shows the drone orientation in the righthand stick.

Also, if I land and let the drone sit for a couple of minutes, I am getting"Overheated, shutting down!" requiring a restart

headless was wrong in 1.14a, as it was automatically re-adjusting the heading so that "pitch back" was always towards takeoff point.

....I like the screen recording capability, what do you think of making it mappable as well..

Is it possible to have altitude limit for up and away and boomrang?
Just in case we want to fly indoor in community halls or large indoor space.

Tello should do up and away based on the altitude and distance limit.

Issue is still there. Background is still white.

Just set the general altitude limit - all autopilots respect this limit.
Keep in mind that Tello's altitude sensors are not really accurate so leave some error margin.

what phone model & what android version please? Rooted, modified developer settings or other non-standard modifications?

done, will be in next "major" release. I can't put it in the 1.14 release because I can't test this as I don't have a controller with me, and 1.14 should become final over the weekend.

Same thing happens on one my devices, an old Nextbook tablet w/ android 5.0

I put 1.13c on it, just curious if the old tablet would run the app - it does!

Could both of you try 1.14c just release to play store? may take a few moments to become available.
I'm a running out of ideas for this one.

Yeah!!!! That did it, good work. Thank you so much. I haven’t reviewed the app yet but I’m about to with 5 Stars!!

volate!lo · Apr 13, 2019

can you check that you are indeed in 1.14c and not 1.14b by accident? See menu => about.
Because for me the play store still said 1.14b when you wrote the comment .

I am on 1.14c, and it is working great

umanbean · Apr 13, 2019

1.14c hasn't shown up for me yet. Just for kicks I upgraded the Nextbook to 'b', same white background... will keep checking for 'c' but looks like you found the fix, thanks again.

Weather is great this morning, I'm going flying!

volate!lo · Apr 13, 2019

great, just released 1.14c as final version

A question, would it be possible to implement the battery voltage on the screen in addition to the percentage?
maybe not useful for many, but interesting ...

As always, thanks for the excellent work you do on TelloFPV.

umanbean · Apr 13, 2019

1.14c installed on all my 5 devices - a mix of old and new phones and tablets of several sizes and specs. Haven't tried all APs and new features yet but everything is working well so far.

I like headless mode, yaw 90° and slide along for a cool cable cam effect

As usual, good job!

Battery voltage would be possible but meaningless. The problem is it fluctuates extremely, and the momentary reading does not give you any idea whats going on

I hadn't thought about it ... but it could be interesting to have the initial take-off voltage and the final landing voltage in the flight log. (in the last flight)

volate!lo · Apr 13, 2019

The voltage before take off would be a valid voltage, but voltage after landing is not. The Voltage recovers a few seconds after landing so the value is determined by timing. Overall not really useful. People will start interpreting these values even though they are mostly unreliable.
