Upgraded to QPP 5 today, and DJI Go still crashes at startup.
I tried downgrading to APK v4.1.9 a few days ago as mentioned previously, but this seemed to lock my drone in 'beginner' mode, despite the switch clearly being toggled off. This nearly caused me to crash. I was both radius and altitude limited, so when I attempted performed a routine maneuver up and away from a tree, the drone continued to head straight for it. I was eventually able to pull back, but this is by far the closest I've ever come to crashing. Even after ripping my phone out of the controller, and performing multiple power/takeoff cycles, I was still range limited.
I was able to fix the drone by starting a flight with an old phone running Android Pie and the latest APK. Even when the phone battery died mid flight (it's an old phone) and I was able to use the controller to fly further than the 'beginner' mode limits.
I'm still not sure exactly what caused this issue (I'm thinking maybe some sort of bad config left over from the newer app, or potentially because I was in restricted airspace [I was flying with FAA part 107 clearance, but never remember getting prompted to verify]), but I won't be trying any old APK versions again.
So I guess with that, just be careful if you're planning to try an older APK version. |
