Would greatly appreciate somebodys help or insight. Last night I flew my P2V+....and then flew my P3Pro....Prior to flight I calibrated the P3...all lights were normal...stated..." ready to fly GPS"...I took off in the auto mode...it immediatly started to drift with me only having slight control...I raised it higher so that it wouldn't fly into a house and trees about 100 feet away. it then started flying all over the place on its on...generally in circles in a 100 foot radius but also making very erratic darting here and there. Freaking out I pushed the return to home without much success...it finally acted like it wanted to land, but at a great distance from the take-off point.....I tried to take back over control as it tried to land in a tree...I, very luckily got it back with much effort and landed it manually. A couple things I realized in hindsight as I tried to make sense of what just happened and the thought of losing (up to this point)..my favorite quad....I usually use an Ipad when flying my P3...this time I was using my Galaxy Note 3....never had a problem in the past.....but I remembered that though I was cleared to fly GPS and the satellite signal showed to be strong...the app never showed any satellites...(just a strong satellite signal). How could I be cleared to fly GPS after calibration...and a strong satellite signal, but no number of satellites.....I figured that it just may be the difference of the app on a different device Note 3 instead of Ipad...not sure if that makes sense. One more thing....when I was flying my P2V+ just a half hour earlier, I never completely took the DJI Vision App off my phone...it was still running in the background when I was flying my P3Pro on the DJI Pilot App. Is there any chance that the Vision app running in the background may of caused confusion for the P3?...Just grabbing for straws as to what the heck happened before I can trust to fly it again...Any help would be GREATLY appreciated...and yes I downloaded the latest firmware last week....Thanks to all for any help...Ken
