Cannot see live feed with Xiaomi Yi Camera
????
I just got the Xiaomi Yi Action Camera and it's a bit disappointing how I cannot see a live view of the camera on the app. The phrase "you get what you pay for" surely comes to mind.
Tech support was responsive but unhelpful

After update the app is no longer unable to preview or playback video. Occasional freezing as well. Contacted Support, responsive but unhelpful in resolving the issue. I read up on similar problems over at dashcamtalk.com, issue resolved by using airplane mode. Iphone 6s ios 10.2 yi app 3.6.0 yi 4k 1.3.3
I love the camera and the app is easy to use although...

This app crashes and freezes a bunch. It does not livestream the a image and does not meet people's expectations. Thank you. Please fix.
NO PREVIEW

New camera, expert lvl user

I received my new yi 4K camera and though I've yet to test daytime quality and onboard functionality (mountain biking), so far I have mixed feelings. The camera looks ok and seems to be working fine. My first big obstacle was troubleshooting wifi and this app. To be precise, I am referring to live preview streaming from the camera to the phone. This is essential for me to be able to aim the camera while chest/helmet mounting. I am happy to report that I have some resolution. Not the camera because it worked on an iPad and an "off the grid" iPhone. Not the app because same results occurred on a 3rd party app "yi control". So what's the thing both devices have in common: cellular data. I turned off cellular data for the yi apps and it worked. I am not interested in live internet streaming so I'm fine with that. I am curious about why however. Still troubleshooting. I agree that yi should focus on functionally and further develop a solid product with good app follow through. Or let other people develop the app.
Broken!!! Camera view wont function. Worthless app for now.

Installed app only to find out you can't view anything through the app's viewfinder.The view finder portion is broken. Please fix!!!! Dont bother downloading it until they come out with a newer revision.
App No Longer Previews Video

Can no longer preview the video or image from the camera sensor. As other mentioned, since there is no screen on the camera, this makes it very difficult to figure out if you have positioned the camera properly. Without this functionality, the action cam is pretty much useless. This is why people pay big money for GoPro's, because they work.
No display
