Byran fixed his bird, but has not been flying much.  Last I heard he has been working too much to do any flight time.

Ya, that's why you shouldn't use two apps at the same time.

I go through the correct procedure several times but my RC never connects to the AC. I leave it beeping for 10 minutes but nothing. If I turn the AC on and off several times it connects.but it takes ages some times. Maybe 15 resets before RC connects to AC.

Hello everybody,

Had the same problem with 1.6.80 fw, just downgraded to previous 1.4.5+(if i remember correctly), flew it at 50m height and 150m distance,twice in a park close to my place
and worked fine and tomorrow i will test it above sea at the port, because i have to film a sailing compatition and this firmware was pain in my @@s....
i have external antenas btw not the original, reinstalling original made no difference.
the techical support told me, and to everybody else i suppose, relink-format sd-reinstall app-calibrate etc to solve this.
i saw the same problem occured in adv and pro edition, but a new fw released there and problem solved.
standard edition maybe isn't that important...
anyways, follow these directions
http://forum.dji.com/thread-52471-1-1.html
The Steps :
1. Download the firmware at http://phantomhelp.com/Mobile/Phantom-3-Standard/#FirmwareArchive and select the fw that you want .bin file format
2. Insert the file to sd card, outside folder, and must be the only one .bin file format
3. Turn on the RC and the drone without sd card until it connect (RC and Drone)
4. Connect to DJI GO App and press for 3-5sec the right top button to enter the downgrade mode.(to see downgrade status stay at front page of the app. when downgrade finises, on top of main screen will appear update notification.)
5. Then Insert the sd card. Then the downgrade process is starting and rear led will turn to yellow and there will be beep sound from the drone (it is normal). See at DJI GO app, there will be status bar show the downgrade process. If the rear led becomes green it means the process is complete, you also can see the succes notice at DJI GO App.
6. Restart the RC and Drone, connect DJI GO App, check the FW. Finish.

I hope it can help the issue of 1.6.80 firmware for Phantom 3 Standard
NOTE : DO IT WITH YOUR OWN RISK!


and downgrade your AC so you can fly again! of course then calibrate AC, relink RC, make all the set ups just like it's out of the box!

and wait until they release a new firmware!
i will not update (maybe never again!) until someone breave enough test it and gives us the ''green light'',
beacause this was a good lesson, as i was in front of my pc the whole F@..Sunday to make it work!
so please format sd or link RC or get it to your dealer for service, when there is so many people around the world that have the exact same problem(standard) and for pro new fw is up,
makes me thing that DJI deal with it in a sooo bad way, and that same!

so,i hope that helps you a lot, as it helped me!

Greadings!

Greetings to you all.

I bought my Phantom 3 Standard in the US in BestBuy in Gilroy Ca and took it home to Iceland

Once i came home igot all charged up fully upgraded to 1.6.80 and ready to fly.
30 to 60 meters out i lost RC link it came "home" and once close enough it relinks without a problem.

After hours of emailing DJI and Telephone Calls they want me to send the phantom to USA again for repair even though we have DJI retailer and repair guy here in Iceland.
I have spoken to support and they say they are aware of RC link problem in Europe and are looking into the matter. But then other guy at DJI says to me to send it to US.

Well. I have downgraded to 1.5.70 use 3 diffrent kinds of phones and pads Samsung Galaxy 6+ edge and Iphone 5 and Ipad Mini.
I have upgraded again to 1.6.80 and funny thing when i upgrade or downgrade it only takes like 4 to 8 minuts. hmmmmm

I am flying on a field where i am the ONLY WiFi signal and no towers or radio signals or nothing.
I use to have a vision plus and flew there before all over over buildings, towers even close to a tower that WAS there that had broadcasting stuff from the local TV station NO problem.
Now i have to be sure there is NOTHING around me.... Sorry i just dont buy it......

Well hope to hear your take on the matter.

stay 1.5.70 you get better distance, they dont accept the firmware 1.6.80 as a problem, BUT is indeed a problem for CE power is lowered a lot People who says its all fine its because they are in US , (FFC) so its all good there but in Europe and other parts of the world the problems persist

I managed to link my RC remote to the drone and my GO App states "Safe to Fly". I can manipulate the camera with the gimbal and the direction stick. However I can't switch on the motors by moving the sticks to th inside or outside corners. When I look at the GO App, it says that firmware upgrade failed and I can't see any firmware on the SD card. I copied the info on the SD card and reformatted it. No luck. What do I do now please?

I had a similar issue.  I own 2 rc, one of these is able to connect, is calibrated, can view the camera in dji go but engines don't start.  I was able to take off via the app, the drone putted in hovering but as I tried to drive it went crazy!!!  Stick left drone went right, and so on!  Very dangerous!  The other rc works fine instead...  I think is a firmware related issue. Any ideas?

There is a nice little app to increase the dbi of the controller and Phantom 3 standard or WIFI 4K to 27 dbi, you can find it there >>

There is a tutorial also it's quite simple.. Cheers ..
Use at your own risk .. It worked for me .. I think its more oriented for EU users who have more restrictive FCC limitations ..

I went down a long rabbit hole of updating Firmware and Messing with the memory card, downloading firmware, etc. etc. As described in this post. After a lot of frustration, I found the solution and it was much simpler.  Turns out the RC Signal Lost error means that the Remote Control and the Drone can't talk to one another over radio even though you can see both on your mobile device.  The solution to this was to use the Link button.  This links the Radio with the Drone and makes the error go away.  No firmware update needed.  

I did find a DJI video that describes this process but it wasn't associated with the RC Signal Lost error.  I hope this helps you as it helped me.

Hello everyone. So I have had my phantom 3 standard for 2 weeks...was flying fine until today where it keeps coming up with a 'RC Signal loss' message on the screen. My drone then returns to the home point. It does this when I'm flying at a max of 30m high and about 62m from me. The first couple of times I used it I could press my left stick up and go like 60,70,80metres up with no issues!  Anyone have a fix for this? I've tried all the normal fixes like - compass, IMU, software up etc.

Please someone help.

this is my case...
updated my p3s with the firmware to 1.7.9. & after successful update, i cant connect to wifi but rc is functional with the bird. the power light of the rc keeps on steady red. managed to reset the SSID/Password but still cant connect to wifi even if i see mi phantom i.d.
downgraded to 1.6.8 via sd card. & now the rc could not link to the bird as well as the wifi.
sent my problem to dji support but till now, no reply was made!!!

Wont let me Downgrade.  And DJI want me to ship the drone to them in China for Inspection before issuing an RMA.   No thanks Im not gonna ship a $400 Device to China, Bought it from Amazon so im waiting to see how long that exchange process will be seeing they are out of stock on the P3S

I also have a similar problem with my Phantom 3 Standard. The radio led flashes between green and red, as if it lost the signal with the drone. I've done the radio link several times and it did not work! Whenever this happens, I lose the image, but I still have control of the drone.

ok master minds, I need some help!!

seems like there are two issues being discussed in this thread from what I can tell, one where there is no link period and a simple relink between the rc and the drone fixes the issue.
the second is where everything is ok before take off and links are all good, till about when the bird gets a certain distance and then rc signal loss occurs and RTH happens, this is my problem, I have tried everything that tech support handed down to me, I even sent it in for repair and received back today, they said the wifi board needed replaced so the work was done $102 later and I still have the same exact issue!
I do not understand completely how all this works but when the signal loss occurs the signal strength for the rc drops, NOT the wifi signal strength, I read that its a firmware issue, I have tried all different variations of FW and go app versions with no luck.
if anyone has any thoughts on how to resolve this issue, I am willing to try anything even if I had already many of times.
tech support told me that with new FCC reg's that it would limit the drone, I can understand this but I don't understand making the drone lose signal where the operator loses control on the unit.
any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Same problem as all you guys after the update! There are two 5.8 antennas on the p3p and a switch that selects the best one to use. This is a tiny tiny very bloody small chip on the board. After the update this chip gets to much power and fries! Going back to earlier firmware won’t help nor will any other myth described on here! Chip needs to be removed and two pins joined. This bypasses the switch and hardwires one of the antennas, which is all that’s needed anyway!

Problem is it’s a very difficult job to do and I buggered mine in the process. Well didn’t bugger completely, I now get to 200 meters!

Answer is send it back or live with it I’m afraid guys!
