OK, bought this 2 days ago, it flys fine but I only get camera feed on my phone for a few minutes then it disconects, no signal message and my phone (LG G3) shows the WiFi is disabled, re-connect and get video for a few minutes then all is lost again. Can let my phone connect to other WiFi signals and it stay connected all night no problem.

The video shows for a few minutes at startup and will go out before or just after I get it off the ground, so right next to me, got it going enough one time to take a picture 50' overhead,  it just disconnects  from video feed, can fly/control it fine otherwise.  Seems many others have the same problem posted on general searches for the "No Signal" messages and they can't find a fix. None mentioned the dropped WiFi connection problem though.

OK I figured it out!
Thanks for the response.

After digging very deep into my phone settings by chance I found a setting.
Share & connect - more - Mobile networks - Connections optimizer - Unmanaged WiFi Networks - Add WiFi Networks. Then had to manually add the Phantom 3 Standards WiFi name.
Seems if you do not do this the phone will disconnect the WiFi since it is not connected to the internet specifically "toys""drones" that can be remote controlled by your phone.

Just did a flight and had WiFi/video connection the whole time!
This was on an LG G3 Sprint carrier.

Great to hear you got it going.  I am glad to see you took the time to dig deep and find a solution instead of bitch about DJI like alot of others.
