Here is my problem, my Phantom 3 Standard is experiancing signal loss at a (less than 300ft) really close range, it jumps from full bars (RC Signal) to No Signal instantly, like there is a loose connection or something. It worked perfect the first few flights, flew 1'500 feet away out in a field with good Video and RC signal, then all of a sudden I couldn't fly it more than a few hundred feet away without getting the no-signal alert. Just to clarify, I was loosing ONLY THE RC SIGNAL. Wifi is still strong, image on my phone remains perfect.
I took apart the Remote controller to make sure the wires that connect the antannas are all intact, and they appeared to be. My firmware is up to date. Not sure what I should try next to try and resolve this issue. Not even sure if it's a physical problem like a finicky antena or a software issue.
Any ideas/suggestions?

UPDATE: Went flying at a fairly remote location yesterday after getting an update for the DJI Go app. Was able to fly 1'600 out and approx 500 up before loosing signal. Not sure if it was the app update or the fact that I was away from any kind of building and electricity.
It still weird though, I had plenty of signal, like 4 out of 5 bars on my DJI Go app, then it just jumps to "No Signal". I have to move my antenna around every which way to get my signal back, then when I get it back its at almost full bars again. I would think that if it actually did have a low signal, wouldnt it fade out slowly, and not jump from full bars to 'No Signal'.

A lot of other people encounter the same issue (me included) after updating to V1.5.70.

ME 2 i have  ARGtek Controller Mod on the way so hope this will do the job but i think it was the firmware update DJI need to fix it

I do not think a Antenna mod will fix this! From one second to another (Copter is 20m away) the RC signal drops from full to none. RTH mode starts and seconds later full RC signal? Cancel RTH. This happens from time to time. I hope there is a firmware update comong soon!I also took apart the RC and checked the antenna cables. Looks also fine for me.

I'm not sure which firmware number mine is, but it is the most recent one. I'll check next time I power it on and will let you know.

If that is the case (that it's a software issue), any idea when the next update is coming out?

I did the update right out of the box. Is there any way that you know of to downgrade to the older firmware? A lot of people are telling me its a software issue and not a hardware issue.

Currently the firmware could not be downgraded. And the range hasn't been decreased in the latest firmware.Please try to adjust the antenna and RC in the flight and test it in different environment.

Almost all owners of P3S are complaining that after the updated firmware drone is losing signal with the radio over short distances. Of course, if you point the antenna in the right way it will help a little , but definitely not solve the problem. I hope the technicians DJI are making a new firmware because it has hundreds of customers complaining about the signal loss and clear that the central problem is not interference or obstacles , but a problem in P3S . We need the DJI solve it as fast to regain prestige among all. I bought mine did six days and has the same problem.

Hi futurapatus,

nothing to add to your statement!
Hundreds of people have this "Weak signal" and the answer is always the same video how to handle your antenna...

There was a minor update of the iOS app this night (2.8.1) I will give it a try later...

Hello, I've same problem.... My P3S is only one week old..

I made one of those cardboard cutout windsurfers, it only took a few minutes and cost nothing. It seemed to help.
