Flytrex Live 3G Released - Review

H2O Wireless

Flytrex is trying to tell me it's h2o. But my h20 a count is using data. I have a p3 but I want to go for distance with the p2 .

It was in the app. But updated the WiFi extender via the app.

I was able to prevent the app from updating on one of my mobile devices. I'll have to use that device with the P2V+ until when/if the issue is resolved.

Should have mentioned my p2v+ has sat since August. 3 days ago I recharged my H2O Sim but the 3g won't connect.

Is this only a problem with the Android app or also the iOS app?

Did you give it at least 30 minutes to re-initialize?
The first time I put my sim back in my P2 Flytrex from my P3 Flytrex it took about 20 minutes to connect. Not same situation as yours but maybe after being dormant for a while it needs time. ??

Here is a thread for the bad Range Extender update issue: WARNING Android app version 1.0.60

edit: Don't click below - I don't know what that is

I wasn't as lucky. I tried shutting off the extender will it was updating but didn't help.

I flew a battery but maybe that wasn't enough time. Makes sense like when we first got them the Facebook didn't work then it kicked in.

Only android.

How do you like the FPVLR dipoles?

Fpvlr and itelite panel is the best wifi combo ive found and ive tried them all!!

Yeah, the FPVLR dipoles + itelite panel are a trusty combo for a solid signal.

Finally installed my Live 3G and got a green light!
No flights yet, but my flytrex profile still says "Not linked to aircraft"

Does it upload only when it detects flights being made? or is there a problem with mine!?

 

[Mark The Droner]

Yes, and not necessarily. It knows when you're flying vs sitting on a table in the kitchen. Not need to worry quite yet.

[dirtybum]

Also I don't know if I'm understanding right but did you link your device to a particular aircraft in the settings. Go to login >live>manage>link aircraft

Flytrex Live 3G FAQ

Thanks a lot!
Found this from the FAQ

To prevent any testing power cycle from showing as a new mission on your Flytrex profile, Flytrex algorithm checks if actual flight characteristics were identified with each data received by the server and will store the data as new mission only if it determined that the data represents an actual flight. To determine if the data received represents an actual flight Flytrex algorithm looks for parameters such as ascent, distance, speed and more during the length of telemetry data received.

Thanks! Had completely forgotten about that!
