Purchased a new RC. P opti mode is good as is the A mode but when I click to F mode it goes into P opti again. This means no intelligent flight modes. Help please!

Which model did you buy , and for what aircraft ?

I'm using IOS

I recently did a firmware update on  the RC and the copter. I read in other places this could be the issue...?

Is the GL300C switch labelled P, S & A ?

What firmware/software are you using, have a look at 'About' which is down at the bottom of 'General Settings' menu ?
Also are you indoors when checking this ?

Thank you very much for your responses. I cleared my sd card and put the latest .bin file on it and I have the flight mode back! Wooton! Thanks again!

airRN, i keep hearing about this bin file thing. How does one put that on your microSD card? Where do you find the bin file? Please respond as if you are talking to a dummy (me when it comes to computers) Im just a PA, so go easy on me!! ;)  thanks!

Hi eliot may
        It might be a good idea for you to become a bit more familiar with firmware upgrades but what many will tell you is that if your Phantom is doing well don't mess with the firmware.
  I like to refer to the tutorial section of this forum, you can learn so much there.
The .BIN file in this case is the Phantom all in one firmware update.
Here is a link to that section in the tutorials.

I hope this at least gives you a place to learn, also the manual is extremely helpful.
Just imagine the learning curve a Plumber (Me) may encounter!   
Thank goodness for all the great folks here!
