I've responded to several threads relating to the above and think it's worth summarising them here.
Setup:
Phantom 4 with latest updates, recently updated to Go 3.0.0
Nexus 7 (latest model), Android 5.1.1
History: No problems in a couple of months flying P4 until last week then (all at the same time) -
1. Extreme video lag (>10 secs) together with picture breakup and blocking, even whilst on ground
2. Craft bouncing (yo-yoing) close to ground on slow take-off
3. Less stable in hover (flying backwards, loosing and gaining height)
4. Message "Braking now - return sticks to mid-point appearing" (with no control input)
I reverted to Go 2.8.0 and all except No2 have vanished, back to smooth solid performance once a few meters off the ground.
Not sure why the bouncing won't go away. I've been flying helis for 15 years and can say it's nothing to do with ground effect but can say that it's akin to instruments with too much gain in their feedback loop - unstable.
Because play store had auto updates turned on I'm not sure whether I had used intermediate Go versions, but the problems existed with my combination of software, in Go 3.0.0.
Anyway I have turned off Auto update!
Hope this helps
