Brand new P3 on 1.7.90+ and 3.1.1. First test flight flew out 3000ft with a windsurfer for a boost. I am getting the update flag on the but ignored it for now. the quesiton is, should I update the go app and the firmware? Distance seems pretty good for a standard, but not sure. No compass calibration or IMU cal for the avbove flight,. The second flight I did get a strong magnetic ineterference from the same spot flown on first flight and was told to calibrate the compass which failed. I then force closed the Go app and reopend the app and the calibration warning disappeared. Subsequent flight went as the first flight without issues.
Updat firmware and or app?
Thanks

Same question here. I've talked with several guys who have problems after the update

I've updated mine, no problems while flying.  Android phone and I force close all other apps before starting DJiGo.

Are you using IOS or Android ? Because Android would force you to update GO .... since 3.1.1.

Some people are 'hacking' the update and stopping the update to latest GO ... but to be honest - apart from  having Google maps - cannot see the point of such.

I have Go 3.1.4 for Android loaded up and I fly sometimes with this or other times with Litchi ... with latest FW of 1.8.10 .... all fine.

It's difficult to advise....
When i bought my P3S back in January i thought i HAD to upgrade the firmware in order to fly the thing. So right out of the box i updated it and could only get 500M out before i had loads of errors, and even a 'RC signal lost - RTH'..
So i took it back and got a replacement, and didn't upgrade the firmware (1.7.9 too) and it flew really well!

Now, whether this was down to the firmware, it's hard to tell...as on the original unit i never flew it before i updated, so it may have just been a bad one! But it's left me really wary of updating it just in case i do and then suffer poor performance again.

My apologies, I forgot to mention Im on Android Tab 6.

If your on any Go version prior to 3.1.3 it forces an update. But once on version 3.1.3 or above your good to go, no forced update.
