I also have the same problem. After update the latest firmware. The use of dual band trasmision will lost connection even just 2-4 meter away.

Abseloutly i was frustated wit DJI because still can’t solve this problem.

DJI Mini 2

Exactly the same problem as everyone else, I updated and I got sick! dji how will it be? how many more will disable their drones?

Não adianta substituir o controle

I called the DJI support center. They went through refreshing the updated firmware, then they Madd me update the dji fly app.... then they tried to blame it on my phone even though it's the same phone I've had for 1 year. Then I sent them a video showing how only the 2.4ghz signal worked and they said it was because it was indoors. I shot another video outdoors and they finally realized that I was right. The update to either the drones firmware or the controller did something bad to the 5.8ghz signal which means it won't work on 5.8ghz or dual band. They promised to email me a solution within 2 days it's already been 3 days. This is my 4th DJI drone and there won't be a 5th unless DJI fixes this or replaces our broken products that they broke with their update.

I’m having the same problem with my mini 2. I updated my drone with a fan on it then the hot is not the problem I think. I updated it three months ago and flown many times with no problem. Then I stay without fly for about 50 days. This week I tried to use the drone and the same problem appears. This is frustating.

I have the same issue it disconnect from 5.8 MHz I have to set manually to 2.4 it used to work fine before the update , what is the solution?

Hello there ivanmini. I am sorry for the trouble this has caused and thank you for reaching out. May we please know what is the model of the mobile device that you are using please for us to be able to isolate the said issue? Thank you.

I have the same issue is there any update on the fix?

Same problem here, need to change to 2.4 to fly... if let the dual band / 5.8 on, the signal just go down till the rc loses the conection with the drone. DJI is doing something to fix this? We need a new firmware update asap.

Im have sane problema, any solution ?

Same as mine today.... after the latest update the 5.8ghz is not working only 2.4ghz is working fine... Dji said may case if forwarded to technical department and wait 2 days let see what they action for this...

Ill for sure delay my update, until notice that this issue is resolved

20/12/2022 I have problem same like you.

I have the same problem dji mini 3 pro , 2 months old.
Was working fine , after the last update it says weak signal adjust antenna.   Now it will fly but only in 5.8ghz

Serious safety issues for operator / public and device

Same problem here

Bump, dji can you offer a solution?
I was flying this thing daily, since your software update it has not been flyable. I have been in contact with you for weeks with very little in the way of useful suggestions.   I am traveling it’s not practical to ship the device back to you and be without it for months . Do you have a diagnostic tool? It would seem it’s a software related fault

I also same issue. I can only use 2.4ghz. When i use 5.8ghz or dual band error code 80004 came up. This problem started since last update (november)… now i update to latest firmware (december) but still not fixed.

Same here. Signal on 5.8Ghz loses only a couple of meters away. Only able to fly on 2.4Ghz. DJI, please fix it.

Just purchased my Mini 2 and experiencing this same issue with no option to choose dual band or 5.8gHz.  

@DJI - Please help!

Just updated mine this morning and no longer able to fly in 5.8ghz, same issue. God dammit

Hi, as everyone else I had the same problem. But unlike everyone else, it was a brad new drone and I updated the firmware right away, so basically I never flew with a working 5.8Ghz, and I suspected that it was a manufacture defect. I just sent it back for replacement. The interesting part , not everyone who’s upgrading their firmware experience the same problem. So, did you find a solution? (I hope u did)

Does anyone have GEN2 version of mini 2 with not working 5.8ghz?
Gen1 - serial number starts with 3
Gen2 - serial number starts with 5

Resolvi o problema, enviei para a jxDrones 500 reais e o drone voltou ao normal. Extremamente decepcionado com a DJI a parte ruim de ser a única gigante do mercado sem concorrencia a altura ficamso a emrce desse tipo de tratamento com o cliente

Are you Brazilian? Is JXdrones a store in Rio de Janeiro? Does your drone work perfectly until today after repair?

Just received a replacement mini 2 from DJI because of the 5.8Ghz issue. I updated to most recent firmware no more 5.8ghz problem , signal seem to be stable, athough I didn’t fly far. My previous drone was loosing connection 1-2 meters away. so does it mean that it is a hardware problem that is somehow triggered by the firmware update?
BTW. It took 4 days to get a replacement. Extremely quick! Thank you DJI

Oh... So it looks that it is hardware issue but strange is that it happens very often, even in new devices. Do you have now gen1 or gen2 aircraft?

Estou com o mesmo problema de perda de sinal, a poucos metros de distancia, na transmissão Dual Band (2,4/5,8 Ghz) Só consigo voar com o Mini 2 se estiver no 2,4Ghz. Tudo, também, após atualização  de firmware. Li que, por conta do tempo de atualização, o chip de 5,8Ghz esquenta muito e queima. Decepcionado aqui.

...

Did you guys solve that issue by sending drone to DJI service?

Here is my video on YouTube. 2.4 GHz works fine, 5.8 GHz works up to few centimeters from aircraft.
The drone has hardly been used since new, few flights.
using 2.4 GHz easily flies over a distance of 1000 m, 5.8 GHz is not usable.

On DJI forum i found that many people have a similar problem after software upgrade. The first firmware version of the drone mentioned by someone on the forum is 1.03.00


I'm not able to send drone yet to DJI service until February, maybe you will find that it is software issue and i can be fixed by software update.

This thread is related to DJI mini 2. More specifically, it is related to the problem with the 5.8 GHz range. Please don't spam questions about locked 2.4 in Vietnam in DJI air 2s here

Em consulta à Dji Brasil, informaram-me que não dão garantia a produtos comprados na China. Também estou aguardando alguma solução de firmware para o meu M2.

I'm camping out here and wait for updates, workaround and solution. Until then it's grounded.

What a mistake to take DJI's update for granted. Lesson learned, "If it's not broken, don't fix it"

Mesmo problema com meu MINI 2. Aeronave próxima ao controle com a frequência 5.8 GHZ e perde sinal.
Bora @DJI arrumar este firmware ai!!!!

Mesmo problema com meu MINI 2. Atualizei o firmware e o 5.8 GHZ cai  o sinal com o drone ao lado do controle.
Utilizou o controle com um IPHONE 13 PRO MAX e antes tudo funcionava. Fiz o update e agora só no 2.4 GHZ.
Bora @DJI arrumar essa KGADA ai!!!

I sent my drone to DJI service i hope it will be working fine after returning and updating the drone

I guess that DJI will not release update to fix this issue. I will update if they changed my mainboard/ whole aircraft or only downgrade firmware to lower service version.

Same problem here with a recent bought mini 2 after update firmware to 01.06.0200 and remote controller 01.11.0200. I’m using with iPhone 13 Pro Max and only work with 2.4 GHz . 5.8 GHz connect only very near the drone… no answer from DJI . Please , share if someone   find the solution. Very disappointed with DJI after sales.

Same problem here with MINI 2 and firmware updated 01.06.0200 (drone) 04.11.0200 (RC). I suppose DJI is killing the MINI 2 to force the MINI 3 to upgrade. Drone less than an hour and a half flight time. I am very disappointed with DJI products... Has anyone found a solution to using 5.8GHz? My drone is only 3 months old. :-(

Does anyone have GEN2 version of mini 2 with not working 5.8ghz?
Gen1 - serial number starts with 3
Gen2 - serial number starts with 5

My drone is GEN1.
Start with 3Q...

yes i have the same issue with DJI Mini 2.

They have broken it. It used to work flawlessly but now i have to take off the drone and go into manually 2.4 GHZ and fly in that all the time. the 5.8GHZ does not work sadly.

can DJI fix this as its a pretty major bug please ?
