Aloha All,
Well, it is nice to read that the Android side of this thread is not getting as much attention as the iOS side, but we are not without our own problems - most of them similar to the iOS problems. May I say that GQ. covers both sides with his comments to Reboot the P3 and RC at each stage of the download and installation; be sure you have a good Internet connection; and figure out and follow the instructions. It made me wish I had read this thread before I did the upgrades because each suggestion was what I had to figure out to do to solve my problem.
My Android problem may not have happened if I had noticed that a house fan was on just on the other side of a glass door where I was working. These fans always interfere with my RC to P3 signal if I work near them in or near the house - not good during the installation because everything comes to a halt with "No Signal". My solution though, with the Android, allowed me to just reinstall the DJI Go 2.4.0 app over the flawed one when I got away from the fan. The download through the DJI Go app then allowed me to update the RC with no problems. Previously, every time I tried to update the RC, I would get the very popular "Failed Upgrade" message and when I pressed "Retry", a notation at the bottom would say "Disconnected". OK, so what is disconnected - my Internet or my link between the P3 and the RC? After I pealed myself off of the ceiling, I was eventually able to determine that the link was not there between the P3 and the RC. So now I have to break out the manual to figure out how to link the P3 to the RC again and of course that does not work (for a reason it turned out but the ladder was still there to get down from the ceiling). Forget it, I will do it after dinner!
Well, a cooler head prevailed after dinner and voila no fans! I reinstalled the DJI Go app and followed the directions and now there was a connection between the P3 and the RC - what! Like nothing happened! But at least I got to night-fly half a battery before I got into recharge mode. All the IOC options still work, but like the DJI Go 2.3.0 version, and I did get the impression that the battery did go down a little fast toward the end there. I will test that tomorrow. All in all I got off light compared to some of you suffering iOS guys. But the iOS and Android systems are not apple and oranges, but more like grapefruits and oranges - both citrus. So, GQ.'s suggestions can work for both versions of DJI Go 2.4.0. It is certainly worth a try.
One thing I noticed is that - thanks to DJI's fore-sight in developing the app, my failed efforts to re-link the P3 to my RC were blocked, probably because that was not really the problem even though it is mentioned as a possible by-product of this type of upgrade. The RC status light and other indicators did not indicate or participate with a link operation because it was blocked by DJI. So thanks to DJI, I could not screw myself and make more work to take up my night. Mahalo DJI!
Cloud Chaser On mentioned that he felt the bottom of his gimbal was too hot. The initial flight preparation screen has a gimbal function listing that may indicate if there could be a problem. I think it also makes a special speaker sound if there is a problem (like grinding) - but do not hold me to that.
gongml was concerned that he did not have a RC download with the new app. The P3 Standard has a different remote controller than the P3 Advanced and Professional. The P3A and P3P RC is much closer to the Inspire RC. We are Inspire wanna-bes but we get no banana. I hope this helps!
Aloha and Drone On! |
