Tello Edu Drone wont take off

[Igmemb0]

Hey guys

So I just bought a tello edu drone and downloaded the tello app. Went to the remote control to try and control the drone with my phone. Connected via wifi and tapped the take off button, and the drone doesn't take off. The motors don't even spin. Any help would be great.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S20

For future readers. Your drone will not take off in following conditions -
1) Low light
2) Overheated drone
3) Low Battery, sometimes i have tried to take off at a battery level of 20%, it just doesn't work
4) IMU Calibration error
5) Loose wiring

I had the same problem with Huawei P20pro. I tried to activate the Tello Edu using the Tello Edu app on a oldest Samsung. It worked. After this the Tello Edu worked also with the Huawei P2pro.

If the Tello app doesn't work for some reason you can use TelloFpv to "activate" the drone on the first connection. On Android the free demo version is sufficient.
No such thing as a free demo on Apple though.
