Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My background: IT Consultant & Android Developer My camera: Nikon D5100 My device: Android phone running Lollipop Like you, I was looking for a way to wirelessly transfer photos from my camera to my mobile device without the need for a computer. This card does that, and many of the issues being complained about here aren't necessarily the card's fault. 1. Put your camera in "Review" mode. If you are having trouble staying connected to the FlashAir's hotspot (or can't connect at all!) Try putting your camera in it's "Review" mode, where you can browse the photos on the card. Your camera has to keep its connection to the card "open", ensuring the FlashAir gets the volts it needs to stay on. If your camera has settings that let you control the screen's off timer like mine does (see attached screenshot from my D5100 menu), I recommend you keep the screen on for a few minutes so your camera, and the card, don't go to sleep. I set my review mode to 10 minutes. 2. Check your device's WiFi settings The app is supposed to connect to the FlashAir hotspot automatically. Turns out my phone had a setting in the WiFi menu that would disconnect it from WiFi if no Internet connection is detected (See attached screenshot). So, check your device's WiFi settings if you are having connectivity issues. 3. Connect to the FlashAir hotspot manually If you know your camera is on, and the app isn't connecting to the hotspot, connect to it yourself from the WiFi settings on your device. Once you are connected to the hotspot the app is guaranteed to work. 4. Photos taking a long time to load? Try lowering your image quality. I have a 16MP DSLR, and I'm not shooting for prints. So I turned my quality settings from "Fine" to "Medium" and from "Large" to "Medium". My photos are now ~2MB compared to ~10MB. And forget about shooting RAW. If you are shooting to post online, you don't need huge photos. You'll browse through the FlashAir much faster if the photos are under 5MB. Your pics get downsized and compressed when you upload to Facebook/Instagram anyway. Conclusions The card is great and I recommend it. I'm definitely buying one for my wife, who won't use the DSLR I bought her because she hates having to upload to the computer, then to her phone. The issues other users have with the card are probably the fault of their camera's battery-saving settings, or their mobile device's WiFi settings, as I explained above. Just follow my tips and you'll be fine. Ask me any questions below.
