New firmware make the compass more sensitive to the interference. I know some users have this warni ...

Was the intention to make the compass more sensitive? Or was this an unforeseen side effect of the new firmware?

Good Day.  I have recently purchased the Inspire 1 V2.0 and upgraded firmware as directed but soon after take off i receive the "Compass Error" screen which is indicated by a red screen at the top of the app screen.  I experienced alot of drift but switched to Atti mode to stabilize and immediately land the aircraft.  This only happened after i updated the software to the lastest version of 1.06 (2 Jan 2016).  i am extremely afraid of flying this again in fear of me losing or crashing the drone.  I re-calibrated the compass after landing and still get the same problem.  I never had this problem with the Phantom 3 Pro.  Is it a firmware problem or maybe the hardware?  Could you please assist if possible.

Yugan1, I replied with instructions in the other thread you posted on. Please try that and let us know how it goes.

I had a compass error too. I'm running all updated firmware on everything. ill take it easy for the next few fights and see what happens.

After the latest firmware update 01.01.0411 this phantom 4 spiraled out of control without input from controller right after takeoff. No warnings what so ever.. Any ideas why? I know I should have switched to A-mode (ATTI) but didn't have time in the panic, only had to time raise altitude in save it from crashing. You can see how crazy the drone was flying the entire Right Propeller was in camera frame. Never seen that before, I thought for sure it was going to flip and crash.

App Version 2.8.3
Firmware Version 01.01.0411
Remote Controller Version 1.6.0

Please help!! Thank you kindly.

For clarification, have you performed an IMU calibration prior to this incident? Did you calibrate your compass? At the end of the video, it seems to have experienced a compass error towards. Have you been in contact with the Europe support team for further diagnostics?

I have been experiencing compass errors for what ever reason now out of the blue.  I have flown my last 6 battery packs without issue.  Nothing has changed and now I am getting compass errors.  I was out with my wife and kids having a picnic at the lake.  They went swimming, I went flying.  I flew 17 minutes with 1st battery without issue.  I landed and then let the bird sit for 10 minutes and then put a fully charged pack in and took off again.  Keeping an eye on the battery life, at 35% I started coming home from about 1700 feet away at 55 feet over the lake.  For no reason, I started getting the red compass error warning and the bird switched to ATTI mode.  It did start to lose altitude and I brought it up to 100 feet and started flying home as fast as she would go.  All the way getting compass error.  I was able to bring it home in ATTI mode and land safely.  I was scared I wouldn't get it home and it would end up in the lake.  I am always nervous flying over water.  But I am starting to get upset that I have been flying for a long time without issue and now lately I am getting compass errors even after calibrating.  I have the latest firmware available and upgraded the same day it was released.  I was getting these errors before the  June released firmware.  I have also flown over this same lake before without issue.  But now out of the blue I am receiving these compass errors.  I really makes me doubt the machine, it makes me upset that I spent so much money on this and I don't feel like I can trust it.  I have an annual camping trip coming up and I want to use it.  But I am afraid that I cannot trust it.  I love the bird, but I am losing faith.

For clarification, how long have you had this unit? Have you tried performing an IMU calibration?

I have had this unit since December 2015.  Yes, I have performed the IMU Calibration a few times after making sure the unit was perfectly level with a spirit level.

There could always be a chance of external interference if the area you're flying in is starting to become more developed, but you may be running into a hardware issue as well. Have you contacted the North American Support center to look into a possible repair?
