Another question, can a phantom lose power when it's at a cold temperature, just that it randomly started automatically descending with my "good battery" last night, as in when I tried to give it full power, it limited itself to a certain height and then started coming down at a reasonable speed until it finally managed to get the power it needed... It's cold at night in the UK now, so I'm wondering if that could be the problem
The Phantom won't just land. It reports the status of the battery as well as gives warning at low battery, return to home and auto landing. I'd highly recommend that you turn on the voltage display in the app. What was the battery level (percentage) and how far away were you from the take off point?
You may also want to use the services of heathydrones.com and upload your flight logs so that you can see a good breakdown of the messages and status of the flight. This would probably answer all of your questions.

It's starts to, what seems like, losing thrust power at around 50%Yes cold weather will effect battery performance.
I have the P2 Standard, thank you for your advice though... The P2 standard doesn't connect to any app which is a downer...The Phantom won't just land.
