I got an automatic update while in a rural area yesterday.
It took about 30 minutes to complete. I now have 4.3.8 installed. It not entertaining to be in the field waiting for an update to slowly download. Maybe i can disable auto update?

Here are the issues so far. Random compass errors, random gps errors, lost images and videos. Theyre just grey nothings.
App crashes when trying to photos and videos.
It's great to have a photography drone that doesn't take photos or videos.  

Hi Bitmess. We're very sorry to hear about the unpleasant experience that you had with your Spark. However, we highly recommend you to update the firmware if there is an available update with the app or with the drone to avoid any issue. Also, so you can able to utilize all the functionality of the app. I also suggest you calibrate and re-link the RC to the AC after the update. Should you have further question, please let us know. Thanks for your understanding.

What’s your device that you fly with?

All firmware is up to date.  I'll try relinking the remote.

"GO 4.3.8 Android is a mess" yes and it isn't for the Spark.

You should deactivate the auto update  in the playstore!

Get back to former versions, apk mirror, every version 30xxxxx comes with all data!

Interesting. 4.3.2 no issues for me.  One aberration I have is, I maybe have to wait until the note 9 gets on the supported list for it to go totally full screen as a note 8. It has about 1/4 inch of black sidebar.
Cheers
