Hi guys.
My son turned off my p3 advanced during firmware v1.10.90 update. Now when i t ...

Just reformat the card and put the new firmware back on , then put it back in the drone and start up , you will get the load beeping while its updates , it will eventually go off when it is updated but may take a while.
You only get the really load beeping when you end the update process early so don`t worry it will stop in the end.

I updated my drone with #1 battery successfully to 1.10.90 but when I changed to #2 battery and was going to update it but it didn't process, I then checked the result on computer it says it was already updated for the #2 battery. That's unusual. Is it normal?

Also I noticed that there's no firmware update for the remote controller. I'll test to fly tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

Hi, can you check your current firmware version now?
What mobile device you are using?

Hello, after update to the newest version still cannot get firmware (aircraft/controller) information. I'm using Samsung Galaxy S4(GT-I9505) with 5.0.1Android, and app version is 3.1.0. Now I can connect with aircraft, but I have huge problem with video transmission. Picture is freezing, with long lag, not usable.

Ran the update this morning, all went well and only took about 20 minutes. Updated the spare batteries, calibrated the IMU and took the P3P for a flight. No problems at all! As a matter of fact, I honestly think it's more stable now than it was with the prior update and all the compass errors I was getting

As I know its a aircraft and camera-update
I discover that my controller ( connected to my HTC M9 Mobile ) recognises the Mavic device with
signal " Remote Controller signal Weak " . Not any drone is activated and connected !!!
I even have no Mavic drone , my neighbours ether.

Hi Guys,
    Very wise NOT to upgrade. I am having all sorts of problems...mainly won't turn on the motors and when you do cannot turn off. Flying a nightmare the drone will increase revs or decrease setting the aircraft up/down without control you really need to be on the sticks, won't hover as steady. DJi you better have a fix I cannot fly my quad. I had a message to calibrate  the sticks which I did but still no good. DJi where are you.

Issue resolved. In my case ( Samsung and HTC ) Mobile device settings must be : camera PTP ON ( and USB debugging ON ). MTP ON does not work.

and so we are learning every day.

Thanks for your reply

Updated and test flew for a 5 mins. Everything looks good. No issues. Noticed, the bird when cold started had a small bit vibration on idle time-to-time as usual for my drone. When in air it is rock steady. After landing it is rock steady on idle as well, not even a tiny vibrations. All looks good. Then flew Mavic and it was good too. Honestly i like to fly both equally, P3A feels like it has more power to overcome gusts of head wind vs. Mavic (make me almost panic on return path due to the head wind).

No issues after the upgrade, achieved my normal distance, i'd say the video feed was actually more reliable, and I'd swear the motors sounded a bit softer.. not as jumpy... Overall have not seen any ill effects yet.

Hi endotherm ,

You seem to be the only one who pick up on the ''3 seconds before CSC'' .

Go and read post #1, it is in the changes summary that comes with the firmware too.  See note 4.

What’s New?
1. Optimized Flight Restriction Zone management by deleting flight restrictions for some abandoned airports.
2. Optimized HDR+RAW format photos.
3. Improved motor performance to prevent occasional overheating resulting from a motor stall.
4. Slowed motor stopping time to three seconds during flight.

Only if you have the old app saved , it should be on your itunes on your PC/Mac if you haven't updated that too . Just turn off auto updates and delete the new app and then install the old app from itunes . When itunes updates apps on your PC/Mac the old apps go in the recycle bin where you can recover them and save them somewhere save .

So I now have to keep my batteries in my pocket before I can swap them out instead of leaving them in the case.   Does DJI realize there are folks in the northern and southern hemispheres who actually have winter? I'm not sure why all of a sudden we now have a temperature check before we can take off when we've never had one before??  What changed since the P3 was introduced???

There's a whole discussion solely on the Map issue Mindy and the switch for Android users from Google maps to maps that are incredibly back level.  Some people (apparently) purchased Litchi just to get google maps back.  Very hard to fly with very outdated mapping..
