Just ran a 19 minute flight with the new firmware. I had a couple of instances where the video stream froze momentarily but I will attribute that to my environment. Other than that everything seemed functionally fine. I spent a few minutes in all three modes and flew it out about as far as I normally can with all the interference I have in my area.
I did the upgrade too. Towards the end of the upgrade install, it said there was a device error but installed anyway.
During my next flight, I noticed the following:
-the weak image transmission signal was more frequent/consistent and was occurring at shorter distances
- the pixelation was much worse than it was prior to this update
-now all bright/white colors are coming across as black & white candy canes
- my battery drained much more quickly
-all of my settings were reset back to defaults

Did a test today
- there is Yoyo effect, sux
- the yoyo effect is not frequent during hover however when u do a gentle stop during P mode
- battery is ok
- the video with green and pink line came but it's only before startup after startup its not there
- sports mode on low level is dropping altitude drastically (can crash if never increase altitude)
I find it funnny how it's dtopping the altitude and regaining

What are you on? Satellite?
Have you tried hooking it up to DJI Assistant and running a firmware refresh? And my settings also were reset. I have seen a few other people mention it as well.
I'm going to pay more attention to that tomorrow. I rode it pretty hard today so it bounced around a lot.

So called High Speed internet from Bell Aliant. No such thing as using internet streaming services here like Netflix, etc. I can hardly watch a Youtube video about the Phantom.
The yo yo altitude thing actually existed prior to this update, MANY users have been experiencing it unfortunately. I'm hesitant to update and introduce more issues than I Already have, it doesn't sound like it has any current benefit to me as I already have yo yo issues, but not nearly as severe as others. I can currently work around them as I know the height it drops to, as well as when to expect it. It sounds like this could possibly introduce more issues to my P4, but who knows.
Never had yoyo issue before, I always lookout on Altitude and speed during flight, Prior to update it was rock solid with no yoyo
@Chopstix -I'm hesitant to use DJI assistant. It bricked my first P4, so I only use DJO Go now for my updates.

Ouch. When I first purchased my P4, the updates via DJI GO kept failing. They one way I could get them to work was with the Assistant. As I am learning, DJI QC is all over the place.

My update went relatively smoothly except for the brief message about my device is not compatible or something like that at about the 96% mark. It looked like it rebooted quickly and completed the update. Have not had a chance to fly yet.
sorta same thing but mine timeout t 99% but reboot shows updated
I dont dare to bring it far so had VOS flight for 20 minutes
only upset about YOYO grrr

Exact same message as me at the same percentage. The sun is shining here today, snow has stopped, so have a test flight later.
Went off without a hitch last night on the update. Flying it today to check for issues. Btw, I tried one USB cord that I had laying around to plug bird into computer with. It did not work. At last resort I tried the cable that came with my Phantom and it opened up DJI Assistant immediately. Had to just be a bad cord I guess. Had me worried for a while. LOL
