Hi Mindy
Have Mini Apple 2 with latest (today) upgrade.
The transmission gives me:
Red bar and "Weak Transmission signal" on top
Black outs and green outs on screen.
Some artefacts when screen works, and then it stalls, and then the blackouts etc.

Video problem solved

Video after update unstable. DJI go app from PC (iTunes) and iPad air 2 deleted. Loading app new and tested video. I could go from the 1st floor to the basement (lots of concrete, doors and iron between them) no video interruption, remote go fully functional! And of course in this area are a lot of 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless networks.

I tried doing Firmware Update with Controller and GO hooked the OTG Cable to Controller than Micro Cable to it and to Craft. But it would not connect to craft, tried restarting one and or the other than both but could not connect.

So I unhooked from Controller and used PC with Assistant and Upgraded Fine.

I than Upgraded each Battery Firmware through Controller fine as well.


Why would it not make connection the first time with controller should OTG be Plugged in Craft or Controller maybe?

This firmware upgrade is different to others, and so my notes:
Connected P4 to PC running Assistant 2. I was advised that there was a firmware upgrade, so selected 'upgrade'. It downloaded upgrade and applied. I noted that the lights on the inserted battery changed, consistent with It's firmware being updated.
Upgrade complete - powered battery down and removed - inserted next battery - powered battery back up.
Assistant 2 returned to upgrade screen, and I was offered to apply again. Went thought this process for next couple of batteries (I have 3).
For the last battery, after upgrading I left it in when I clicked 'done', and the Assistant didn't prompt me anymore. I guess that's because it's been checking the battery firmware version and not the P4's.
Done.
I also noted that the release notes were blank, no doubt because no other P4 features have been changed.

WE have all learned the HARD-WAY, DJI firmware updates are never what they say they are and almost always, limits on other functions.
Last Firmware upgrade has screwed my Lichi program on my Samsung 6. I know this because on my Ipad2 mini with my Ph 4 there are no problems.
DJI lift your game, these are not cheap toys that we all have invested in.

I fly my p4 this morning. The video quality was worse and it was telling me that there was a propeller guard on and turned off the front sensors. I do not have guards. I watched the video from the chip and it looks good.

You can install the old version, previous versions also available if you're at an older build.

Assistant 2 allows you to roll back.

But in saying that, I think you're only allowed to roll back to previous build.

I'VE DOWN-GRADED NOW.

After upgrading to this new release, the P4 experienced connection issues.
At first test flight after upgrade, while the P4 was still on the ground, the transmitter and P4 connected normally but during the one-minute warm-up it disconnected. (that's never to me happened before).

I powered everything down and attempted to connect again. Only after several attempts to connect did it connect. (this has never happened before either)

I eventually flew a very tentative test flight and everything seemed to function as normal, but I have little confidence in this upgrade.
I don't believe in coincidences.

I Tried to update to the latest version from previous version using 4 different devices : PC Windows 7, Mac 10.11.6, Android Marshmallow, iPhone 5. All not working... It says failed to update...
I've done 3x downloads DJI Assistance 2 & install & uninstall but still not working... Have tried using may ways still not able to update.

Does anyone got the same issue?!
My Screenshot of the day :



Now :
1. My Phantom 4 didn't recognize by my Android Devices... It connected as Phantom 3. I can't fly anymore with my android.
2. Using iPhone 5, it recognized by Phantom 4 but didn't show any video on the screen... it says Video Transmitter Unable to transmit.

DJI Please help... I am out of town and have to rent a drone because my Phantom 4 didn't work out after the remote upgraded to the latest version but the drone can't be updated to the latest one...

Glad i know this. I just was away from my Home going to fly my Phantom 4 and it showed that aircraft needs firmware update so i didn't fly it went back home, at home powered the Quadcopter back up while my phone had full WIFI connection and the Update didn't/wouldn't show up again But it says Firmware up to date?  And i thought updates were able to be done through the DJI app now. Which in my book is the easiest and safest way to update the systems.
