@El Gigante You could try to turn off the hardware overlays. It might use a bit more power, but sometimes it can help.

First, you need to enable Developer Options (if you haven't already):
* Go to "Settings" on your Android device.
* Scroll down and tap on "About phone" or "About device". (The exact wording might vary slightly depending on your phone's manufacturer and Android version).
* Look for "Software information" and tap on it. (On some devices, the "Build number" might be directly under "About phone").
* Find the "Build number" and tap on it rapidly seven times.
* You should see a message saying, "You are now a developer!" or something similar. You might be asked to enter your phone's PIN, pattern, or password to confirm.

Now, to disable Hardware Overlays:
* Go back to the main "Settings" menu.
* You should now see a new option called "Developer options". Tap on it. (It might be near the bottom of the settings list, or sometimes under a "System" submenu).
* In the "Developer options" menu, scroll down until you find the section related to "Hardware accelerated rendering" or simply "Rendering".
* Look for the option named "Disable HW overlays" or "Turn off hardware overlays".

I disabled the hardware overlays - unfortunately without success!

I had once that the app didn't start at all anymore, back then it helped to delete the cache and data of the app. Or (less likely) you could look if the app has all the permissions.

Thanks for the tip – unfortunately, it didn't help.

The app doesn't show what the camera is recording.

I have a Bluegrass and use a Samsung Tab 8' 2019 with Android 11. I have had simliar simliar erros trying to install on my two newer tablets. My suggestion is use a older Android 11 SM-T290 tablet or similar phone and follow the instruction at begining of your thread. Worked for me first try.


How to install FreeFlight Pro 3 v5.2.7 on newer Android phones or tablets (tested on Android 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

It can't make sense to replace my newly purchased tablet with an older one.

I also don't understand the second part of your post:
How to install FreeFlight Pro 3 v5.2.7 on newer Android smartphones or tablets (tested on Android 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15).

Then please explain to me how!

Read yhe instruction search on that post. I doubt that you will get it to work on newer versions of android. ( i tried all 3 of my tablets only version 11 android worked

You can buy the Samsung SM T2-290 for less then 100 USD on ebay.
