I need help!

After my old Nexus tablet had to be replaced, I bought a TAB 7 Pro. Android 14 is installed on it. Of course, this tablet also needed software to fly my drone. I had great difficulty installing the Parrot Freeflight Pro software.

Now when I start my Parrot Skycontroller, my Parrot 1 and my tablet, I always get the message that "synchronization failed and that I should check my internet connection".

I have really spent hours trying to get my drone into the air. It also took me hours to find information on the internet about how to solve my problem... it's almost hopeless! Ultimately, I'm disappointed that Parrot has completely let me down - after all, I spent a lot of money on the equipment.

I don't understand English very well (I'm from Germany). Maybe someone here can help me to be able to fly my drone again.

Thank you!

Unfortunately, the APK and OBB folder on https://apksos.com/download-app/com.parrot.freeflight3?version=1924916 is no longer available since January 1, 2025 :cry:

Could one of the versions in the picture perhaps work?

Thank you so far! ;)

But I can't do anything with what you wrote to me last time. What should I do now? Where can I get the information on how to get my drone flying again?

I don't have a description of what I can do. 🤷‍♂️

Oh - I'm further! But:

The program starts... and then I get the message "Synchronization failed. Check your internet connection".
When I check the internet connection, I see that the tablet has a working internet connection. :devilish:😡😤

Why doesn't the program open, why can't I work with it? 🙈

I can't see more than THIS:

Is there any other equivalent software that I can use to fly my Parrot Bebop with the Skycontroller? At the moment, the lack of Freeflight or its non-functioning prevents any flight. Without decent software, investing in hardware is completely pointless. 🤷‍♂️
 
I just flew my bebop 1 a few min ago, want me to share my app version with you? I think I am running the latest app. I connected direct to drone
i had similar problems google store wouldnt let me install current version of freeflight at all but I managed to get older software installed and working

First you need to download ADB (search it and download it) for windows, install it to c:\adb
then you need the older version of freeflight 3 or freeflight pro .. copy the APK file to c:\

Enable developer settings on your android phone, then enable usb debugging.
Connect your phone to computer/laptop, press trust this device or whatever windows asks...
open a command prompt...(in the file explorer or magnify glass on windows type "cmd". )

in the command line type

CD C:\ADB
ADB DEVICES

. It will start daemon and show your phone as connected. Then after the daemon shows a device (your phone) type

ADB INSTALL --BYPASS-LOW-TARGET-SDK-BLOCK C:\nameofapkfile.apk

This will bypass android 14 security and install almost any apk app on android.

ive got a few older versions of freeflight i managed to find on github if you want i can email to you??

Maybe your version of the app will help. I control my Bebop 1 with a Skycontroller and a tablet with Android 14.

An email would be nice! My email: [email protected]. I control my Bebop 1 with Skycontroller and tablet (not cell phone) with Android 14. Are the settings the same from cell phone to tablet? I've tried a lot - but unfortunately nothing has worked.
