    Icarus for latest firmware

    I installed this app but it didn't work. It just said it's not connected to P3 wifi but it is connected. Developer didn't even get back to me. $5 wasted. Update: Developer got back to me after 6 days and apologized for their inbox problems. I guess I misunderstood their instructions and...

    Incoming update

    DJI Go for products before P4 is on Android version 3.1.5 and I don't see any updates since April 1. This forum is for P3S users so most of us don't use DJI Go 4.

    Incoming update

    For giggles, I updated to ios 3.1.11 today and went for one last flight of my P3S with range issues to see if it fixed the problem. It RTH at 200ft lol! I think every app and FW update reduces range by 90%. Forget this POS...bye bye old P3S. I do have a new one that works just fine. I'm not...

    pcb part 76 arrived today.....need help

    Glad you fixed it. I don't think anyone knows wether FW updates are breaking hardware or it's just coincidence and maybe many units just have bad hardware that fails easily, but I believe all these range issues are definitely hardware and once you get a range issue, there's no way to fix with...

    I'm confused by people updating. I only see an update for dji go 4. Can you use that with P3S? I thought that was for P4 and up.

    Cars, as in restricting their performance because people can't be trusted to act responsibly. Registration is another matter. Registering with FAA was fine. Although, one can argue that a criminal will steal a car to commit a crime, just like someone can just not register the drone or build...

    Right. Just like families sue gun makers every time there's a murder...and lose. Should a rope manufacturer be liable when someone is hanged by that rope? Should a knife manufacturer be liable when someone is stabbed? If you think everyone that disagrees with you is a troll, that's your problem.

    I'm with you. I already wasted money on one P3S. I was stupid enough to buy another. If a forced updated turns this one into a Hubsan too, I'm out.

    You're missing the point. It's up to the individual to obey speed limits and you know, not load up your truck with c4 and slam it into a building, not the manufacturer.

    I bet my 1st P3S that can only go 200ft was used as a guinea pig for this update experiment and they fried it. Will this update fix my lemonized P3S lol?

    Cars, trucks, planes, and trains have been used for way more chaos and mayhem. Maybe we should restrict them to only go 5mph and you can't leave your little town with them.

    Phantom 3 standard Rc signal lost

    That's what I thought but clearly that's not the case if you read post #57. I would still take your recommendation and not ever update if I could. I'm leaning more in the direction that maybe some hardware caused them to be either, like Rodman says, either P3Superb or P3Sh*t. Hopefully this...

    Phantom 3 standard Rc signal lost

    The first 3 flights on my new P3S said I was on FW v. 1.2.4, the DJI home screen even had the orange bar across the top and said 1.8.1 is available...update now. I am sure I ignored the update every time. I was able to take it out to an open area yesterday and when I turned on the AC and RC...

    Phantom 3 standard Rc signal lost

    These 25mph winds the last couple of days have kept me grounded. I did test out the new 3rd refurbished P3S today briefly by my home, which is congested with wifi. This unit came with 1.2.4 installed. I tested it out with the latest DJI Go on ios, and also with an older version of DJI Go, v...

    Phantom 3 standard Rc signal lost

    Received my 3rd unit today, refurbished. It came with 1.2.4. Not touching FW. Charging everything up and will test it out in a bit. Funny how all these refurbished ones come with 1.2.4. I wonder why.
