I am not having issue with 2.8.2 both on my iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6s for my P3A. By having some people with no issue and some with is going to make it much more difficult to get to the route cause and fix. That's why its very important for everybody with issues to post as much details (video, etc) to this post to help get to  solution quickly.

The first day of trips to the mountains updated the application, I wanted to FB Live strem ;)  then I had bugs "Weak image transfer signal" I thought it was because I'm in the mountains. Then I read this thread. Bugs were terrible, lasting 3-4 seconds, I do not have a preview, I thought that I had lost my aircraft.

This post is in the Phantom 4 section, I had assumed it might only be a P4 problem, your post seems to back this up, that there are no problems of this type with the P3 range using DJI GO 2.8.2.

Hi Imagebyjas

> No software company gives the full scope of an issue

Talking about two different things (and sorry if I wasn't clear). I DO agree that the release notes are at best thin.  My comment was broadcasting the full scope of an issue when found.  Doing that could also lead to additional breaches in security, reduction in sales, changes in marketing direction (if something turned out to be really severe), etc.  I too managed development and test, at a very large company.. testing was no less strict, code releases and life cycle management from start to finish managed daily and even with ALL that in place mistakes happen.. It can be architectural/design in nature, human error, the ever present "one ore line of code", etc.  Point is development is not perfect. Testing sometimes worse (testing always seemed to suffer)  :-( ...

Want cannot happen (and what I fear I'm seeing happen) is that we now have a somewhat fragile code base and multiple configurations that are being serviced by one base code set.  I understand the need for modularity.. It is a bedrock principle in coding these days, but that only works if the base is solid and where modules have clean and clear input and output designs.

I'd much rather have DJI slow down.. Get back to a rock solid code base and work from there.  To add problems on top of problems only creates more problems on top of problems and fixes on top of fixes.

NOW all this said, I do not for an instant pretend to know just how complicated this code base must be.  I cannot imagine the amount of data that has to be processed - realtime (not in batch) - to make these things do what they do.  Telemetry programming is a science onto itself.. One I can't imagine the depths of..  Which is why I'm cutting them "some" slack...  but they must see that patience is wearing thin..  IF (and this is the big question after all) they truly care, they'll recognize, reorganize, re-architect, re-code, etc.  Do what's necessary to get a handle on this..  The sad truth otherwise, in these days of much less customer loyalty, is that people will take their business elsewhere and not lose a wink of sleep over it.

Again (as I mentioned earlier).. Windows is a perfect example.. Think of how many different code bases that continue to have to be supported, in part, because the later version was built on an older one.. A problem deep in the earlier code effects them all..  and try unwinding that code to figure out where the issue is.

@johnchao411: Thanks for hints.

I did everything recommended here by DJI - including your hint forwarded from Aardvark.

The combination "Relink RC+craft" together with "Hardware decoding" set to OFF, helped a tiny little bit, but is still not the same quality and stability as before.

Cheers, Roland

What's sad is the lack of official DJI assurance that the issue will be handled diligently and offering a replacement version to download and regress easily to the last version.

Very poor customer service along with way too many issues, this is like throwing salt in our wounds.

My nephew was going to buy one until he saw how well it worked yesterday.

0/5 is more than enough !!!

For all still unable to fly...  There are a number of ways to get to 2.8.1, including someone who was kind enough to provide a downloadable .ipa file for 2.8.1 to install via iTunes.  Please provide DJI with what data you can before (and perhaps after) moving from 2.8.2 to 2.8.1...

I to am having the same video feed problems. It freezes and gets glitchy. I have not been able to get more than a couple secs of clean video. The HD is jumping all over the channels and none stay in the green for very long. I just bought this and have 1 hr on it. It has never asked to update the app so I will assume I've been on 2.8.2 from the beginning. The saved files are useless. It has always flown fine though. I tried everything that was posted in the forums except going back to 2.8.1 which I just did with the app. Waiting on a battery to charge. Do i have to do anything to the p4 itself?

Thanks  

Today was even the RC signal weak and my P4 was in trouble. The video signal is a disaster.
Before 2.8.2  DJI Go and P4 was outstanding stable.
I will not fly anymore before 2.8.3.

That is not the easy way to get it to work.. i have used today 3h to get that work and i didn't know what to do.. The .ips is not working because it is linked another iTunes profile.

We know that Dji can ask iTunes to roll back the software, but they don't want to do that.

So Dji: if you think that i will buy after Phantom 1, Phantom 4 and Inspire 1 a new phantom in future: no... NEVER!

Add me, yet another person who is having this problem.

Have had my drone for about 3 weeks. I have the executive bundle from Drone world. It has the range extender on it. It is a Phantom 4. I did the update and now I get the black screen, green screen and the glitching.

All my stuff has the latest updates. I even tried installing IOS beta. That did not work.

I am in the process of downgrading to 2.8.1 via iCloud backup.

BTW, I had a fly away with a phantom 3 professional about 5 weeks ago so, I have been burned already by poor software / firmware / hardware by DJI. However, I do like flying drones and realize we are at the beginning stages of this drone hobby. Technology is moving rapidly.

Like just about everybody else, I agree DJI is using us as beta testers and they are putting out poorly vetted software and firmware.

If another company made a better drone with better software and around a similar price, I would switch.

DJI is not doing itself any favors by making so many people mad and frustrated.

ville.honkonen@ Posted at 2016-5-31 04:10

If the .IPA method is not working, use either the "Charles" method described in the thread or a restore from a back up from before 2.8.2 was installed.  If you have a back up, it is a relatively painless and easy way to go.  The "Charles" method works, but you just have to carefully follow each step.. Both have been successfully used..  Again, if you are going to restore from an iCloud backup make sure that automatic application updating is set to OFF...

It's not up to the customer to fix or revert back to old software to get back in the air.  It's up to DJI.

Dji please make 2.8.1 available, If you cant at least do this in the next 24hrs i only have another day till my apple return warranty expires, I will be forced will return my phantom 4 to Apple for a full refund

I'm not going to disagree with that, but IF you want to fly, as many do, right now it is the fastest way to get there.  DJI has made it clear that they would truly like customer info to be posted to help narrow down the issue.  If you're so inclined, post yours (seems like most are posting a video).. then if you want to fly now, revert to 2.8.1 with one of the methods several of us have posted.  If you'd rather wait for a fixed version of the app, that is of course up to you.  Folks are just trying to help get other folks flying again..

Yes I have sent all my info in by email to Dji.
It's just bad timing that my apple return policy ends 2moro.
I dont want to return the phantom4 but it feels as its the only option .
I know Dji will fix the
issues eventually.

Thanks too Sploodge, I rolled my go back to 2.8.1. Works flawlessly as it was!

Same here sploodge is the man

If you like your phantom 4 then restore your dji go app back to 2.8.1 from your backup or use Charles method to get 2.8.1.
The app 2.8.2 has problem, for sure dji will fix it but it might take long times to wait.
Return phantom 4 is your choice but will you buy it again? if you do then no point to return because the app has bug.
I live in Victoria, Australia and helped few friends to go back to 2.8.1 version, if you want I can help you out.
good luck

Thanks hungdang , im not very good with computers
so I haven't attempted to roll back the app.
I only have samsung laptop thats 4yrs old running windows 7 so not confident after reading and watching  t helpful post that Sploodge posted.

there’s only a limited number of people complaining about the video issue here, under a hundred I guess?  out of the tens of thousands of Phantom sold?   that’s a very small percentage to the manufacture’s eye.  Don't be surprised if you have to wait weeks for a new update.

You better go look on other Phantom 4 forums and Facebook uaergroups. The complaints are all over the place. Droid users might not be complaining, but IOS users are getting killed. We are basically grounded.
