I updated my Mavic, RC, and the batteries updated (I guess the batteries did, since I didn't get a message on them). Using "About" on the menu I confirmed that the Mavic and RC are on .700 and my app is 4.0.7. That's the good news. The bad news is I took it out yesterday after the weather cleared up and after about 10 minutes the app disconnected. I hit pause on the RC and positioned the Mavic at a point I felt it would be safe to bring back the app and then flew some more. Home point stayed where it was at launch. On the second flight it disconnected twice. When I first got the Mavic I updated to .400 and all was well. Everything since .500 has been problematic.
Phone: Samsung S7 with android 7.0 plus May update; DJI GO 4 V 4.0.7; Firmware V 01.03.0700
UPDATE: I flew the mavic today using my wife's 9.7 inch Samsung Galaxy S2 and it was all wonderful! Same firmware, same DJI GO 4 app., and same Android OS. I flew only two times, but all the way down to a little under 30%. I did POI and Active Track, recording video, as well as flying it out to where it was difficult to see (about 800ft.) Video had minimal lag.
As a result, I am going to revisit my Samsung S7, but try a few things like:
put the display in 1920 x 1080 vs the higher resolution (as the instructions say this draws more power, so I assume that means extra processing)
Turn off wifi and blue tooth when flying, (not sure if putting it in Airplane mode would be good or not - ? cut off mapping info?
Remove a bunch of apps I don't use anymore or rarely.
try the lower USB Port
