Guys, I've been having this issue since 2 weeks ago but in the last 5 flights it happend on every single one of them.
Here's the setup:
- P3A takes of normally and video broadcasts in "real time" to iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 and Pilot App 1.1.2; I updated the P3A firmware (and the controller) to the latest firmware (1.2.8);
- Sometime midflight (can be after 5 seconds or after 5 minutes, very random), I notice a sudden increase in the video lag; what seemed to be < 1 second now becomes 5-6 seconds, making it very dangerous to fly by app only; I've had this while chosing automatic channel in Lightbridge or manual channel, it happens either way;
- Telemetry seems to continue to update in real time (compass, map, vertical/horizontal speed and distance), but video starts to fade to black and lag goes up to 8 seconds, completely unusable;
- If I don't quit the DJI Pilot App quickly when the video starts to skip to black, it will completely FREEZE my iPhone 6 in a state that even pressing the home button will do nothing; pressing the lock button on the side does nothing; holding the home button (should activate Siri) does nothing; unplugging the cable from the controller does nothing;
The only way to recover is doing a hard reset, holding iPhone's home button and power button for +15 seconds untill I see the Apple logo;
Like I said, I have a recent good quality smartphone (iPhone 6) running latest OS and with +40gb free space in it; I don't experience a laggy iPhone anywhere else, actually its blazing fast doing everything else and including flying the P3A when the bug doesn't hit.
I've tried:
- Power cycling the aircraft mid flight (thus initiating Failsafe RTH), lag is still present and still crashes iPhone;
- Power cycling P3A; it would solve the issue sometimes but in the last 5 flights I couldn't fix it;
- Power cycling the iPhone (as I'm forced to do when it crashes and I have to do a hard reset).
Weird thing is that I didn't have any of these issues in the first weeks I've had the P3A. The issue only started 2 weeks ago and it's getting worse (hit me every flight in the last 5).
