Hello
  

I have my OM4 for app. 10 days now and I've used it once. I made my piece with the fact that this thing won't update no matter what, today it shows a new "trick" - it only stays in standby mode. I've tried holding the three buttons (M + shutter + trigger) simultaneously in order to reset the BT connection. It doesn't even do that. No yellow light, no nothing, just green pulses. It does not connect to two different phones, nor it does to the Mimo App. Preemptively I want to state that I have tried to delete the gimbal in my phone, I have tried to turn it off and on again, I have tried to turn off and on the phone and its BT. All of this to no avail. So DJI, any advice other than the obvious – return it?

Did you get your issue sorted?  I am having the same problem.

I did. Unfortunately I won't be of any help.
Explanation follows: After a day and a half with DJI's online support consultant, I went to the store I bought the gimbal from and left it there for "assessment" and recommended by the online support - replacement. After another 3 or 4 days and countless phone calls, the service of the official DJI representative blamed me, because apparently I'm using "the wrong" phone. Note9. According to them the gimbal was hanging, because I "did not update it correctly". Absolute charade. It's beyond be how I can update it differently then the only way possible. According to them the only thing they did was to tun it on and update it. Absolute lie, of course. I tested the phone with 3 brands, iPhone included to no avail, so the "you are at fault" is not flying with me. I think I'll approach the authorities here.

I have also the same problem from last night!...I used it really fine 2 days as well. But from last night the yellow light blinking..it isn't working .....any solution?

I've tried everything and apparently they have a magic iPhone in the service here. You have the yellow light blinking? On mine the green was doing the flashing, but according to the manual - both lights mean stand-by mode. Have you tried to reset the gimbal? With and w/o the phone attached. I did, but it did not reset the unit at all. I have tried uninstalling the app, tried different phones - nothing. Just return it. It's not worth it wasting time. Or try DJI's online support, they are polite and thorough.

For me also same issue now i dont even know what to do reached out support on facebook but they told to return it but I am blank ... plz help
it mainly happens when I fold the device.

Mine is flashing green light. I just got it yesterday afternoon. After the mounting, pairing and everything, it turned to stanby mode. I was getting an error updating the firmware. Tried  to reset the gimbal then pair my phone again but still having problem getting the firmware update. Not sure what to do now. Please help. Noob here. Thanks.

Hi! I was in your position hours after I got mine. Absolutely the same thing - error updating the gimbal firmware and then just flashes of light. I tried everything. I've spent hours with a consultant form the online support team to no avail. I went to the store I bought the gimbal from and returned it. They took it and two days latter they blamed me for not knowing how to operate the device. I still have their note about how stupid I am. Just return it. Do not waste your time.

I may have found a solution, or not Before you try updating, turn your phone location on. It worked for me today when I got message for new frimware. With location off - errors updating the firmware, with location on and a few tries - it worked. I'm beyond baffled as to why DJI needs location at all for a gimbal. So stupid.

I am having the same problem. After switching on, green blinks and PanMotor does not work and after a few seconds, the standby mode occurs. In the application, there is no information about the device, although it says that it is connected. Any manipulation of reconnection does not help. The store where I bought it is located 300 km from me. Once I took him there, they told me a bug in the firmware. But a few days later the same thing happened again. I do not have the opportunity to go to the seller so often.

Hello, I had exactly the same problems and after a few hours it seems that I found solution,
take a look at this topic and my message in particular:
https://forum.dji.com/forum.php? ... 784&pid=2377801

I am getting feedback that many users are having the same problem. It clearly shows that the device has chronic manufacturing defects. In this case, it's really sad to read comments that DJI blames some users. It is inconceivable that DJI blames the user rather than offering a solution to the defective product. They just damage their reputation. I advise those who continue to experience the same situation to seek their rights by resorting to legal means if necessary.

I'm starting to think that you are right and the issue is chronic. If it was just me  - OK I'm stupid, but hours of online support, endless "Try this!" and "Try that!" and nothing. The gimbal goes to the service center and then - miraculously it works. When the device is with them that is. It worked with location turned on. I can't explain why it is a requirement at all. Mandatory GPS for a gimbal... It's fishy to say the least.
I'll be grateful if someone from DJI answers as to why a location is needed. What's its purpose?  

Mine worked fine for about 3 months then suddenly last week it stopped working with the same exact problems stated above. No fix to be found anywhere. DJI please help. I bought the unit in the US and don't see any service centers in the Philippines

Hello, I am from Argetina, I have an Osmo Mobile 3, almost new, and the same happen to me. Suddenly I can not leave the standby mode, I have tried different methods but it is impossible. I am very angry

Hi!
Try turning your device location on. I came to the conclusion that if the location is not turned on, the OM becomes nothing more than a brick.

I did this but didn't get a disconnect warning, I did however use an portable external battery charger and connected to my OM4 and the update went through. Now it is working ok!
