What a bunch of nonsense. Problem is on iOS and Android. Buy a Phantom 3, wow what great advice! Spend more money so that you can get more non-support. What a joke!

Yes, I have reformatted the card and tried different cards. Every once in a while I get an idea on something new I can try so I give it a shot. Nothing has worked so far. Today, I decided to try a different Android device than I've tried previously but no joy. I have a suspicion that it could be the Wi-Fi module but I'm not spending $125 plus shipping just to find out that didn't solve the problem.
I'll keep checking here periodically.
I still think that the lack of FPV is associated with the APP. I had the same problem and it was due to updating the app. I reinstalled the old app then everything was good. If you have a copy of the old app on your mobile device or computer reinstall the old app. gunslinger has copies of old assistants on his website maybe check there.
rickmc,...Same problem you have. Let all know if you locate stated old app and provide link. Finally if it works. Thank you.
As i see this is the problem of the wifi module of the camera, which is inside the camera and you can't buy it separately, but the whole camera is so expensive that don't worth to buy it. 
Same issues.........no FPV ...worked fine when I put it away a couple of months ago...went to use it and just a blank screen.......
Has this issue ever been figured out? I am having the exact same issue on my P2V. Was it determined that it was the wifi module that is part of the camera on this bird?
Me too. Inquiring minds want to know. Did anyone ever find a solution to the problem of no FPV using a P2V and an iPhone? To compound matters, my FPV came on and worked once after a couple months of not working, but it stopped working again next flight. Like some of you others, everything else works except FPV.
After I wrote #71 above, I took my P2V and iOS device e
down to the beach on a stunningly gorgeous day, and lo, the FPV worked! Here's what I did: I pulled the cable out of the back of the camera and turned off the camera. Then I turned on controller, turned on battery, and turned on the Wi-Fi extender. I wasn't getting a Wi-Fi signal (duh), so I plugged in the camera cable, turned on the camera, and hit the reset button on the Wi-Fi extender with a paper clip. Maybe not exactly in that order, but once I had a Wi-Fi connection, the FPV worked. It hasn't worked in months. I was delighted to finally see what I'm photographing rather than guessing. I should explain that everything else on the app worked (works), just not FPV until I went through the resetting routine outlined above.
You may ask logically enough why do I continue to fly the old obsolete P2V when other options are available? Because it lacks the software that prevents my P3P from even taking off near a Class C airport. Now that I figured out how to get FPV working again, ol' P2V is as good as new. (And yes, Virginia, as a hobbyist I do contact the airport ATC before every flight at the beach because that beach is 1/2 mile from the airport).

Any one else try this yet? Sounds too good to be true. I'll try it this weekend.......
Did anyone ever find a definitive answer/fix for the loss of video on the smartphone screen? I successfully used my P2V last fall but during the winter, the Play Store auto updated my phone's DJI Vision app......now I cannot see the video but the controls still take pictures and video......it is just the video display from the RE that is not working. I can hook my phone up to the Phantom's WiFi, but alas, no video.
Other than replacing the P2V's WiFi transmitter and receiver, is there a fix that can be done.....I tried reverting to earlier versions of the Android DJI Vision app, but that didn't fix the problem.
Suggestions?

For those DIYer folks with Phantom 2 Vision+ Plus and no FPV (Blank Screen) issue, I hope my tutorial on wifi module NAND repair helps you: DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ Plus Blank Screen Corrupt NAND fix
For those with the
PHANTOM 2 VISION
There is no repair method once you lose FPV, you can try the various suggestions in this thread but it’s usually a failed camera board that is the issue.
The PHANTOM 2 Vision plus can be repaired using OKSTUV guide.
I did a video showing how to do it

So I recently got a 2nd hand P2V that has this issue and after reading all these threads I'm thinking the WiFi module or the software is not the issue. The WiFi module must be getting the telemetry data through the white cable which must also be providing power to the camera and all it's components. Since telemetry data is getting sent the WiFi module must be working. The camera is also working as it takes pics and video just fine...it just doesn't transmit them. So the problem must be somewhere between the camera and the WiFi module.
