Re: Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDA
To confirm the same issue, take yours outside and power on for 15 mins. If still at zero satellites, power off and back on and see if you pick up sats and let me know.
I saw where you mentioned in the other thread that it normally took you 5-10 mins to pick up sats and now it won't at all. This is exactly what mine did, also purchased in mid-December. My GPS has always seemed "finicky" because it seemed to take much longer than it should, but now it has gotten to the point where it won't pick up satellites at all unless I go thru the sequence I have talked about.
Sounds very similar to yours, but try that test and see if it works. I'll let you know what feedback I get from DJI.wreath
Ericf said:Ultimately, I am still trying to determine why my Phantom will pick up zero sats upon the first power up after it has been off for roughly an hour or more, no matter if I leave it on for up to 30 mins with available sats and clear view. Then if I power it off and back on, it will pick up sats within a minute or two.
Hopefully DJI will sort it out and provide a description of the issue. At this point, I just want to understand why this is happening. Surely I am not the only one this has happened to, but can't find much else on the forums about this.
Thanks for the help
I'm with you on this one Brianh! I can't seem to find anything online except a couple of threads on this forum. We must be some of the "lucky" few :lol: Keep us posted on what DJI says. I'm working on starting a warranty claim as well but I already did the 5db antenna mod, hoping that would solve the problem....it didn't.
