As I said before, time frame can vary from case to case depending on what information is provided and if further correspondence or clarification is needed. I've seen most North American cases come close to some sort of resolution within a week or so, but delays can happen if logs were not properly synced or the necessary paperwork was not filled out. I do not know for certain whether our Headquarters, whom you are dealing with, have the same time frame. They should have roughly the same time frame if there are no delays in sending information or the flight data has bee acquired. Any time differences can also cause delays in correspondence.

I do not believe that it would take you 2 months to receive a resolution, but it will take some time to fully review the data.

Since we've weeded out the additional tickets from your case, you would be getting some sort of correspondece from the proper department soon. The logs are still in the review stage, but they will let you know of the outcome.

The flight record on the DJI Go app should give you the last known location prior to it disconnecting. There's no way to remotely deactivate the aircraft, unfortunately.

Your information was provided to the appropriate department for your Support Center to see if anything else can be done. If you just provided all the necessary information within the last few days, then it may be still a little early in the process.

GTDrone,  No, never received a reply back after the initial conversation.  Going to buy a $140 Trackimo so I can get back into the air.  If I do have a flyaway, at least I can find it.   Adds an extra 40 grams to the quad so I expect to trade off peace-of-mind for flight time.  I think I'll look at that 'other brand' for my next quad.  I hear they have excellent customer service.  An acknowledgement of the issue with a 'we're looking into it' would be nice.   I haven't even seen admittance to the issue.

It works off 2G cellular.  All the cheap ones work off Bluetooth, at least the ones I could find.  Bluetooth requires you to be within 30 feet to locate.  If you see another option let me know.  Also, Trackimo is $60 a year after the first year - $5 a month.

I deleted the other posts in the other thread because you already have this one going.
The GPS errors only showed up in the flight record and not the app when you were flying. There were GPS reading errors in the flight records and the new IOS update that just came out this morning addresses that.
Jamie and I are in the US and do not have any access to your case. What is your ticket # and I will ask Paladin if there are any updates.
Also, what is your email and I will look at your last fight to see if I see anything. make sure to sync your records.

its just 12 usd but you have  to use the SIM of your phone , well you can get a prepay sim card and use it in your quad , im not sure if it is the best option you can find a lot of this ones for quid copters
and you can track your quad or anything else via Phone app

also do you know if i get DJI care , does it apply in my country ?

I wouldn't say it wasn't totally pilot error, you did lose GPS signal but then it came back. Just wait until they email to see what they say.Next time, have your RTH altitude set higher. Was it set to 50m?

Yea my RTH was 50 meters , but  i was flying more than 150 meters up ,  and the highest building in the city is 75 meters and it is really far away of where i was flying thats why i set 50 meters

i have a question as i know if you are flying higher than  the RTH altitude the quad use the actual altitude and it doest descend  util the quad reach the home point is this true ?

also i was doing some tests and i  set 300 meters of altitude and  when i hit the RTH the quad  didnt reach  the 300 meters it  reach  about 150 meters  and then came back is this normal ?

i dont know if it is fixed in the new firmware  can you confirm this

But here's the problem, you had it set to 50m and you took off from your home and headed up to the hills and looks like you went over a slope and you were already above 50m from your take off point so the aircraft would not climb even though it's must less than that from the ground.
Basically if you set the RTH to 50m and fly uphill and you are at 50m and go behind a building and it goes into RTH it is going to crash into the building. The RTH altitude is the height from your home point, not the height from the aircraft to the ground when you fly uphill.

Dont tell me that you are checking on it , i can upload my flights of 6 months if you want , and you will know that i  fly all the time over there.

this is the same example , so i do it because i know that there is nothing in the back of the quad  
i do it with the standard , also with other quad cupters that dont use GPS ,  i mean is not my fist time and i really understand how RTH works,  thats why i didnt get the 4 because i know that obstacle avoidance is not the case flying as i do , here an example
i really understand that the quad is not going to go up because im above the RTH , but in this case  it doest mater  here an example of what i mean '

also i dont do it like that i take controll  the quad when is coming back and decent manually  to dont fly to hingh  

The blue  is the line if take off , and red is the line of RTH , so you can understand what i mean

That's not what the diagram looks like in your flight. Regardless, I already told you I think it's going to be a warranty but you need to wait until they email you to see.
The diagram in your ticket shows 50m RTH and you flew over a ridge and it lost signal and your altitude was over 50m from the home point but no with you flying by the ridge one of the hills was higher than the aircraft.
I will ask Monday if I can post that diagram and you and the others in this thread can clearly see that it hit the hill while it was on the RTH.
You are ahead of the game right now by it possibly being a warranty, I suggest just waiting until they email you Monday before you start posting again.And you red line in the photo is a heck of a lot higher than 50m.

i just get the email ant thanks god im going to get a quad ,

and yea the red line is higher than 50 meters thats why i was telling you , that i fly imagine 300 meters up and then what  the quad is going to do is fly  in the same altitude to the home point and then descend
right ?

To clarify this question im going to create a  video and show you what i mean so you can tell me if is truth or no

also thats what i mean and not that  i was lower than 50 meters i mean that the quad was fliying alot higher than the RTH altitude so basically it is going to  go back in the same altitude im i right ??

and yes i was flying in a mountain but there was nothing behind the quad  i believe , because after i saw the erros in my screen  15 minutes later  i go to last position that was in the DJI go app , and  basically see what it back of  that position to see if my quad hit something  and there is nothing  if you want i go to that place  take some pictures to show that there was nothing behind .

also please if you post my logs do not show the home point  just the last minutes of flight when you show what you mean with the ridge ,  this is just for privacy some areas are dangerous here
