I have P3 Std. controlled with a Samsung Galaxy S5. From July to Dec 2016 I had an amazing experience. Great (advertised) video range. In March '17, I started having really bad video connection problems. Never had drone crash before or since. I believe, but can't prove it was a firmware update. It wouldn't display video on the phone at all. I sent it back to DJI and they claimed the Wi-Fi Main Board was bad and replaced it. (BTW, It cost $122 when they told me originally it would be under warranty)
When it came back from DJI it worked a little better but not the same as new. Now I lose video a few seconds to minutes into the flight and now the DJI GO app locks up and I don't see any information on the drone. I can control the drone with the sticks, no problem. But no app/phone connectivity to it. And if I start recording video from the start. it's on the card when I get it home.
I get the "weak video transmission signal" very early in the flight. I suspect DJI turned down the wifi power in a firmware update because everything worked great initially in July 2016 and now it doesn't.
I've tried:
Downgrading as far as it would let me. ~1.7? (i think).
Going to an earlier DJI Go app from a manual installed APK but seems they locked that down with the latest update/registration (I may be wrong)
I fully upgraded the app and firmware to the latest.
I've tried reinstalling the app.
None of this worked. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm fairly technical but I'm extremely frustrated with this thing. IMHO DJI made great product they keep making worse with these updates.
Thanks for a great forum, BTW! I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of this and I'm happy to share the eventual solution.
Best,
Gabe
