Can I connect the drone to my phone without a remote control?
When your drone is EVO Nano Series, EVO Lite Series and Autel EVO II V2, your remote control needs to be connected to your mobile phone in order to better operate the drone.
Of course, the EVO II V2 drone comes with a standard simple remote control. The remote control screen is smaller. You can use the remote control to control the drone, or you can install a mobile phone on the remote control to control the drone.

Solve the connection problem between drone and mobile phone
Connection issues between the drone and your phone can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as low battery, physical damage, inconsistent firmware, controller issues, or interfering background applications. If you encounter this type of issue, follow these troubleshooting steps:
Battery power
Check the battery level of the drone and controller. If the battery is low, fully charge both devices before trying to connect again.
Firmware update
Make sure the firmware on your drone, controller and mobile app is updated to the latest version. Outdated firmware can cause connectivity issues. Updates often come with bug fixes and new features that enhance connectivity between devices.
Reinstall the drone app
Updates to your phone's operating system may change app permissions, causing connectivity issues. In this case, deleting and reinstalling the drone app on your phone can solve the problem.
Test using different phones
If the problem persists, try connecting your drone to another phone. This can help you determine whether the problem is with the drone or the original phone.
Controller reset
Resetting the drone controller to factory settings can also resolve connectivity issues. After resetting, try to resync the drone with the controller or phone.
Network settings
Check your phone's network settings to make sure they meet your drone's requirements. Any differences may break the connection.
Physical inspection
Inspect your drone and its controls for any visible signs of damage or wear. If you find any damaged parts, they may be the cause of connection problems and may need to be replaced.
If after following these steps your drone still won't connect to your phone, it's best to contact the drone manufacturer. They can provide additional troubleshooting assistance or determine if your drone needs repair or replacement.
