Drone lovers unite! DJI+Discover is the Facebook for drone fans

Interested in connecting with the drone flying community? Perhaps you should consider joining DJI’s social media network for drone lovers.

The company launched the network in the form of an update to its Android and iOS apps, which are now called DJI+Discover. Using the app, you can create a profile, chat with other drone enthusiasts, learn about the best drone models to buy next, or just hang out and drool over other people’s drone gear.

The network also acts like a sort of Craigslist for drone users, and allows professionals to sell their services, such as piloting or drone photography lessons. When you open up the app, you’ll be able to see a map of your surroundings, complete with pins that represent other users in your area. You can toggle which connections you want to see, and options include All, Social, and Professional. The map also shows locations that are known to be great flying spots.

Another section of the app is called “Experience,” and it’s aimed at helping you find brick-and-mortar stores, drone events to go to, and a link to DJI’s forum. In the forum, you can get get tips from seasoned drone fliers and interact with members of the drone community. Of course, you’ll also find a link to the DJI online store, where you can buy new DJI drones, if you’ve got money to burn.

You can get the app if you live in the U.S., U.K., Germany, Spain, or Australia. It’s certainly an app to consider, especially if you already own a DJI drone. One thing to look out for though — you’re going to see pictures of expensive equipment that might just make you want to spend all of your hard earned cash.

You can go download the apps for iOS and Android from DJI’s website here.

Google is making it easier to ditch your iPhone for an Android phone
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro in hand.

Switching phones is never a smooth process, even if you’re switching between two different Android phones. However, when you’re trying to switch from an iPhone to Android or vice versa, it can be extra complicated -- and you can lose data and apps that you rely on. This is especially the case with Apple-to-Android transfers because the iPhone has a much stronger ecosystem lock-in with things like iMessage, iCloud backups, and exclusive apps like Overcast and Hyperlapse.

The good news is that with its Data Transfer Tool (also called Pixel Migrate on Pixel devices), Google may be trying to mitigate some of the phone-switching problems that arise -- specifically, losing access to your Live Photos. According to an APK teardown from Android Authority, Google’s Data Transfer Tool will finally resolve the problem of migrating iOS Live Photos to Android. It will do this by converting them over as Motion Photos.

Skype is an excellent option for video chats with your friends and family or conducting a videoconference call with your colleagues.  However, Skype is not without its bugs, hiccups, and issues that can make getting face-to-face with someone seem like an ordeal. To make things easier on everyone, we've compiled a selection of the most common Skype problems and how to fix them.
Video not working
If you can't get your camera to work or experience issues seeing other's connections, you might as well be using an actual telephone instead of Skype. Thankfully, these issues can usually be resolved with a bit of tinkering on your end, or they may just be service disruptions on Skype's end.

One of the more common problems that crop up is visual issues due to Skype not having access to your PC or phone's camera. For desktop users, open the Skype application and select the Three horizontal dots near the notification bell icon to access the Skype menu. Select Settings > Audio and video. If your picture fails to appear in the Skype camera preview window, you'll know there's a connection issue.

What is Wi-Fi calling, and how does it work?
Wi-Fi Calling

Network coverage has improved over time, yet many people globally still struggle to get a reliable phone signal in their homes. Coverage gaps exist in various networks, especially in rural areas, as highlighted by Open Signal’s coverage maps. One potential solution to this issue is Wi-Fi calling.
What is Wi-Fi calling?
Wi-Fi calling allows you to seamlessly use any Wi-Fi connection to make or receive calls when your network signal is weak. If you’re at home and there’s a dead spot in the back bedroom, or the bars on your smartphone drop to one when you enter the bathroom, your phone can automatically switch to your home Wi-Fi network and use it to make and receive calls.

The beauty of Wi-Fi calling is that it should operate seamlessly. Assuming your carrier supports it, you’ve activated the appropriate setting on your phone, and you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network, it should activate automatically whenever you need it. All the calls you make and messages you send through Wi-Fi calling appear as normal in your usual messaging app and call logs.
