If you are always getting this problem, look at the  compass data in the Sensors section of the app.
If it shows zero for the compass data values, you have a broken or disconnected compass and it will  never calibrate without fixing.
If it has some numbers, it should be able to calibrate properly but you have to endure that you aren't trying somewhere close to cars, structural steel or reinforced concrete.

I can confirm that this is true. My P4 has a disconnected (i.e. broken compass) through a botched repair job on my own part. I can now never calibrate the compass, and DJI don't yet sell spare compasses for the P4. :-(

And I do not want to send it to them and wait many weeks for repair, and spend hundreds of dollars, on a repair that I could easily do by myself, which would probably cost no more than about $60 if the part I need was available to buy online!

Still, as the P4 was calibrated properly before the compass broke, it still flies correctly and does not drift at all, so I will continue to risk it!
