I've tried beach, soccer court, swimming pool area and also some indoor.

I'm posting the printscreen.

Did you crash your drone before? Please try to flash the firmware and see if it works, keep us updated about the situation.

Indoor would be normal, but since you have tried various locations outside and did not get satelites there really seems to be an issue. Unfortunately I have no idea what could be the reason. Did it work before?

No sattelites at all is very strange. Must be a hardware problem i guess...

Yes, it crashed on my third flight. On my first I was indoor, second outdoor the I used tracking mode so GPS must had to work. Third flight was on Dronie Mode, GPS was working and than it crashed to a tree. No GPS logs after that.

I downgrade the firmware with Assistant 2 and then updated it again also using Assistant 2 and USB cable.

I bought it in USA but I live in Brazil.

Yes it was. It stops coincidently (or not) after a crash on my third flight :/

Ah ok, then it got obviously damaged in the crash and you should send it in for repair.

This part should have been in your entry post, methinks
Unlucky: Bought in the US, but being in Brasil
The good part: Anyway no warranty case to expect and in Brasil it should be cheaper, to repair it!

Guys, just to update you about the issue.
GPS board was damaged after the crash.
Bought a new one on eBay and had it replaced by Dronetecnica in Brazil. Everything perfect since then.

Thank you all
