Crap Rod ..they put the day before the month on all of em. LOLI see know but just got it
I was like WTH
The day before the month is how us Brits arrange the date. Always confuses the hell out of me when I come across the US format - especially when the numbers could be taken either way. .........You would have thought that something as important as the date format, would be a global standard [emoji1].

It does the P3 series and inspire but not the earlier ones. Not sure what you mean about screwing them up .

Well, if it is the app that's causing the reception issues with the p3s, are there any issues showing up with the advanced, pro, inspire? I know it covers all five models, because I have to pick my model out of a list to hook up.

I read in that section a lot Buford and have never seen anything about that .
Who knows if they have something written in the Standard one that's causing some to have problems .
From what range I got stock and what I have seen from others I think it's a hardware thing .is JMO

The only thing I can't figure out is why if it's a software issue why doe's it not affect me .

I had some pro update problems and fixed them by removing and reinstalling the Go App (android) and then doing an IMU calibrations.
I was getting weak signal messages and other related problems.
Point is only - try everything - even the obvious things.
Yes, there have been reported range problems with the Standard. It seems strange that they can't be easily fixed with either a FW upgrade or a series of steps.
These are really complex machines...they still haven't yet fully made it to "consumer electronics" - they should be smart enough to know what is wrong and fix themselves in situations like this.

Speaking of steps these helped me after a few flight's HOW TO: Optimize Apple device for the best DJI GO app performance | DJI Phantom Forum. Got em out of msinger's Phantom help and I did see a difference . Has one for that other brand also I totally agree with
cdrone on
I totally agree withcdrone on
So, whats the verdict here on the range issue, is it a firmware issue or simply that some rc have dodgy short tight cables that are disconnecting or breaking inside the remote.
. The forum seems to have both as convincing reasons but nothing definative.
iv had mine out only twice, but put the loss of signal at 5mtrs , down to being so close to other wifi routers etc etc .was waiting to try it on open ground, but im now hesitant as i cant figure out what is really going on.
