The gps will connect on the ground but not in the air. What should I do?

Or what does it mean by Firmware version failed?

wrong screen

You can pretty much ignore this screen.  Has no bearing on GPS.  Go back to the main screen to see if the GPS is connected.  Have you had the quad in the air flying?  Are there warnings on the main screen?

Yes when fly it shows the gps is on when it's on the ground but as soon it goes in the air it goes off

Does it set home point?  Could just be the area where you are flying, tall buildings, trees, power lines?

Are you flying indoors?

No I'm actually out in the country. I've got 13 connections before and that's what I can't figure out

Mine does exactly that when I try to take off in Atti mode. The flashing green lights turn into flashing yellow as soon as the P3S gets airborne.

I'm thinking it was the update but idk

when you take off are you getting a "Compass error, exist GPS", followed by the app saying ATTI mode?

So how do I fix that

so you are getting a compass error?  I can make compass errors happen when I fly in my backyard on demand by moving the the nose of the aircraft 15 degrees right or left.  It then switches to ATTI mode.  Do you fly in your backyard or near any power lines?

Well I'm in the country but it's where ever I go

If it is new, send it back. If you can't, then you have to deal with DJI wonderful support.

That's what I've decided I'm tired of messing with it so I'll just get a new one
