I have found that the Pilot app destroys (as in drains it quickly) the battery in my iPhone 6 plus. Anyone else notice this? Must be due to what someone had said already in this thread. "App is very CPU intensive"
It took about four hours to charge it the first time. The lights were out when it finished. Yes, it was completely charged. I charged it after the flight and it took only about a half hour. It really did seem like there was something wrong with the programming of the controller when they both stopped working. After the P3P came back, I had to shut down everything completely before I could get the app to work again. I still didn't see the white lights until after it charged.You charged the controller before your first flight right? Takes a couple hours.

I downloaded and successfully installed version 1.2.6. on both the P3P and controller.Do you have the latest firmware on the P3 and controller?
I am extremely pleased with the iPad Air 2. As expected, the screen is much larger and can be made much brighter than the Moto X. It fits well into the controller. There is no lag in the POV video, either. This feels like a top rate, professional aerial photography system.
When the issue first happened did you not try to control the phantom with the sticks? You don't need an app to fly the thing.I am extremely pleased with the iPad Air 2.

There is no manual mode on the P3Manual mode can save your investment when all else fails.
Yes, I did try to fly with the sticks. In fact, I was flying with the sticks all along.When the issue first happened did you not try to control the phantom with the sticks? You don't need an app to fly the thing.
I have been taking it in small steps. First I just turned the blades on and off from the controller. Then I took it up in several small jumps less than 15 feet and got a feel for the sticks.Crawl, walk, run. Seems like you went straight to "run".
There is no manual mode on the P3
So it didn't respond to the sticks either then. That makes sense. I thought the app died so you just waited until the battery died for it to return to home.Yes, I did try to fly with the sticks. In fact, I was flying with the sticks all along.
I think the problem was likely due to a system resource failure in my Moto X. It was basically a software crash. I could have had some open apps in the background. We have had it up for a couple days before the Air 2 came. With the phone freshly booted I have had no problems other than it was difficult to read the screen.
With the Air 2 it is much easier to set the light controls to capture good video. Everything is great right now.
My new P3P only came with a wimpy Quick Start guide-NO manual. I am glad I bought it at a dealer and their tech support has been outstanding.It is very important to properly understand how RTH works and to test it so that when you need it, it will all make sense to you.
Read up that section of the manual, fly out 100 feet or so and test it.
Also learn how you can also cancel and resume control when the Phantom is coming back.
