Lost video live feed, the fix was unexpected (at least for me)

Again playing around with the Solo in preparation for being able to fly soon. We had a high temp in the single digits today.....

Anyway, early on I had some gimbal issues so I was again testing it when I lost the live video feed. I searched and found a few pertinent threads but nothing helped. I removed the gimbal (again) and checked all the connections, no go. I connected the camera directly to the HDMI in the Solo, no go. So then I was chatting with 3DR tech support and it dawned on me to try to reboot my phone and I got video back!

The phone was a Galaxy S4. Maybe this info will help someone else in the future. When the obvious things don't work, try the less obvious things! Who would have thought the issue would lie with the phone?

This has happened to me a few times on my iPhone 6s Plus. Sometimes simply force closing the app has been enough to get things jumping again.

I'll keep that in mind if it happens again. I *think* I had tried that already and it didn't work, but maybe I just closed the window without completely shutting down the app.
