Hi,
My configuration :
- P3P
- Ipad Mini 2 (IOs 9.3)
I'll go with my little upgrade story since this is the first time and update causes me so many issues ... I have my P3P since May 2015
Went through the procedure : Drone then RC no issues ...
Then as usual, left the bin file in the SD card in order to update the batteries ...
But ....
Usually, when the drone has been updated and you start updating the batteries, it just takes a couples of green - red blinks and then it is done ...
This time, after a couple of minutes, no blinking but solid red and buzzing sound ...
Once, twice, etc, etc ... Always the same ...
Before I has absolutely no issues when leaving the bin file on the SD card ...
So took it out, and started the RC, DJI GO then the Drone ... but no signal ... All the controls work (flight, I can take pictures & videos), but no live feed ... All the updates figured correctly in the DJI GO program ...
Spent hours looking up forums, different solutions or issues ... Changed the SD card just in case ...
Tried to downgrade like some suggested, but same issue - solid red after a couple of minutes and buzzing with both SD cards ...
So overall, not looking good, since a solid red and no blinking seems to mean firmware or big issue and the drone needs to be sent out ...
Eventually got time to time a message in DJI GO saying that I needed to upgrade the camera firmware ...
Then out from no where, after turning on and off the RC and the Drone ... Eventually, I had a live feed for 30 seconds ... then it dissappeard telling me there was big interferences ... Change place in the appartement, same issue, no live feed ...
Anyway, had to go to sleep 3:30 am and I needed to use the drone the next day and decided to fly by sight, trying to get the best of it ...
Tried the whole set in the morning, just to check : Live feed present then disappeared again ...
Same thing happened when I started flying ... Turned it on but at take off, the live feed disappeared ...
Different occasions I landed, turned off everything, even the app and it came back some how and worked all through the flight ...
Then changed battery, same issue, no more live feed ...
Then for no reason, I connected my iPhone 6 (IOs 9.3.1) and live feed worked all the time without any problems ...
So in conclusion :
- I don't understand why I can leave the bin file in the SD card now ... And I am not even sure my batteries have been updated ...
- I don't understand what is the problem with the Ipad (worked perfectly before the upgrade), even re-installed DJI GO but the issue it the same
The drone flies perfectly, but all this on-the-side issues, don't give me much confidence and I am concerned there might be another issue ...
Also, what to expect at the next upgrade ... Will I be able to do so since it freezes in solid red when I put a SD card with a bin file in it ?
