Seems like evertime i fly the Mavic i get the HD signal bars display flashing. Always have full bars, Anyone know what this means?

hd bars

I've noticed the same thing after the latest firmware update.

Other than the blinking, everything seems to be working perfectly.

This has happen on the last firmware too, Seems like a warning of some sort.

Both the HD and the R/C icons can blink to indicate interference. This has been out for a few firmware updates. It seems to only do it when YOU are near a router.

Also make usre your wifi hot spot is NOT ON, if you have one.

I will have to remember to look next time I'm flying away from my house.

HD icon flash ============>  interference at TX end.
RC icon flash ============>  interference at drone end.


DJI forget to put that in their user manuals.

Indeed! Thank you.

I get this all the time, too. And I've also heard that it's to indicate interference. What I don't understand is, why does it still indicate a full 5-bars of signal when there's supposedly interference? Wouldn't it make more sense to alert us of interference by simply displaying fewer bars? If I see 4 or 3 bars (and maybe a yellow or orange color) then I would say "Hmmm... Looks like somethings affecting my signal. Maybe I should investigate that." But a flashing icon that still indicates full signal strength just leaves all of us scratching our heads.
