Since I updated to 01.00.0600 I haven't been able to get panorama to work or any kind of tracking (Active Track, QuickShot).
I was able to live with it and still use my spark though pretty annoyed by this.
Today I went flying again and had the same issues. After a while I started experiencing problems with controlling the aircraft.
Had a lot of compass errors, GPS errors all of the sudden. Calibrated, and took off but I had the drone completely drift off unable to control it, and almost crashed into trees several times, but I was able to take control in the last second.
I'm afraid of flying it now, because my control of the aircraft has been so unstable. It just seems to sort of do it's own thing. Extremely strange.
What do I do? Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

Let the drone/battery cool down to room temp then do a complete IMU calibration and calibrate the RC sticks too.

Do you get any messages on the phone display. I also have not been able to do any of the intelligent flight modes, pano or shallow focus shots. I believe this is since the update.

With the intelligent flight modes it says active_track stopped and in no-fly zone (I am not, and I have travelled literally hundreds of miles to other locations to test). For the photo modes it says they failed.

It has been back for testing with no problem found but it still does not work for me.

HOWEVER, I have discovered that if I disconnect the Remote Controller (Its the Fly More package) and fly on the mobile phone only, the Inteliigent Flight modes work!)

I do get the metal/magnet warning even though I move to a different location. It seems to disappear after hovering for a while. Still it acts in very unpredictable ways, and sometimes doesn't respond to the controller.
I'm gonna try it just using my phone without the controller.
Can I send it to DJI without charge?
