I'm having several problems that may all be related:
I experience "signal lost" status and RTH kicks in whenever I fly about 200 feet away.
I constantly have "Strong Interference: Fly With Caution" no matter where I fly (city or rural).
I almost always have either "Weak Image Transmission" or "Weak Controller Signal" alerts whenever I connect to the drone, and throughout the entire flight.
My video signal from the drone is extremely laggy and cuts in and out. I never have control loss however (the drone remains responsive to stick inputs).
I've had these problems for a few months now.
I've had my DJI Phantom 3 Standard for three years, and did not have this problem until last year. I have the latest firmware installed, and have never had a firmware update fail. I have never crashed the drone or damaged it in any way. I am flying in the same spots with the same equipment (same phone) that I had no trouble with before. The battery has been fully charged for each flight, and I have tried two batteries with the same result.
I thought maybe it was my phone (it's a 2014(?) Motorolla Moto G3) acting up, so I tried a new phone (Pixel 2) and got the same result. I thought it was the controller (I was getting weak controller signal with the drone off), so I bought a replacement controller (brand new, all the packaging still on it) and got the same result.
I have attached the flight records from the last two flights. 3/30/19 is with my original controller, and 4/7/19 is with the replacement controller. Any ideas on what is causing the problems?
