So they've given up on 9 already?......

So happy I'm on Macs. ;)

Never was a 9

Mac's do updates and OS changes as well as Windows, they just give them cute names as well as numbers!

I saw somewhere somebody noticed that 3.12 gives a single green flash at idle and 2 when motors running.

I just checked my p2plus with 3.12 , while sitting and 9 sat lock it is single flash.

4 main things to improve gps for p2 any version:

1. foil tape under top cover covering more are than factory tape.
2. foil wrap the gps connector lead all the way to plug, also place under the factory shield tape rather than over like it is.
3. Gps antenna upgrade to  4mm 5db gain ceramic antenna
4. tighten/lock gps plug connector with tape or tywrap end(see flynfrank on phantompilots)

I have done all on both my p2's and basically gps is a non issue within 2 minutes.

all are easy and cheap, foil tape for furnace at home depot works fine, cover with shipping tape to eliminate short potential. all can be found here or on phantonpilots forum. google is your friend.

Thanks,  I appreciate it.

not a problem
have the 1126 in my plus  3.12
and the 1015 in the p2v1  3.08

at first gps seemed slower on 3.12 update , but it does hold lock  and fly great , at first a bit unstable but it appeared to "learn" with time . solid now.

going to leave p2 v1 on 3.08 for now!

I update recently, now coincidentally i have no camer connection!  All i get is "Connection to Phantom Failed" in the vision app,  My wifi extenender shows battery level and wifi connection that's it. Ohhh and somehow if check in the "FIND MY PHANTOM 2 VISION" in the vision app settings, it shows the last place i flew my phantom before i updated the firmware.  Now what??????

rich,
A picture or detail on what you actually have loaded is worth a thousand words, please see below link and check out the slides...and check all your firmware etc. against these screens, they are all up to date.....
http://forum.dji.com/forum.php?m ... %2Bpost&lang=en
When you updated the Phantom, did you have your RC and TX on with the Phantom and re calibrate,
Also, if you have not tried, delete your vision app from your phone/tablet, turn it off and on then reload the vision app....
Note that i also wrote a very detailed write up on how i do my software/firmware updates, i follow it to the rule for any new software etc. and it has worked and proven itself worthy of following.....
There has to be some subtle difference as to how some did their upgrades vs. how others did it..I am pretty picky when it comes to deleting and reinstalling software but it seems to work for me.
Procedure for me was:
Turn on computer I use for my updates (a 7 year old laptop/PC that just barely runs Windows 7 and does nothing but iTunes and the Phantom Softwares and not a single other program or app or anti virus software is on it).
Completely Uninstall old 3.6 software from the computer using the windows uninstaller and delete shortcuts from the desktop.
Restart computer/Flush the Toilet (basically make sure everything I had deleted went where it was supposed to go and no left over cache or crap info was floating around and to make sure no system files were accidentally deleted and no errors on the restart).
Download new software .exe file
Install new software
Restart computer/Flush the Toilet (basically make sure everything I installed went where it was supposed to go and no left over cache or crap info info was floating around and that I had no errors on the restart).
Plug Phantom into computer
Turn on RC and TX
Turn on Phantom and let it warm up
NOTE: I always turn on the RC then TX and then the Phantom in the same order after I plug into the computer as if I were going to fly it.
Launch 3.8 Phantom Vision Assistant software
Update Software and verify updates were installed.
Check all settings on Phantom (IMU etc. and made sure none of my NAZA-M or anything defaulted back to Phantom, IOC was still on and so on),
Check RC Calibration
Close the program
Turn off Phantom then Tx Then RC
unplug Phantom from computer
Plug in RC, then turn on RC then TX then Phantom
Launch RC Vision Assistant
Check for updates, apply updates if any updates present,
Recheck RC calibration and settings
Close RC Assistant
Turn off Phantom then TX then RC
Unplug RC from computer
Turn off computer.
Go outside
Go through Preflight
Turn on RC then TX then Phantom and do the compass dance once SATS acquired.
fly the Phantom with a few basic maneuvers then fly it like I stole it...
Fortunately for me the update has been flawless.
