My drone is in for repair as it continually disconnects from the RC (not just the app)

The drone disconnects and auto lands, one occasion it did this and hit a fence this caused some minor cosmetic damage, on another occasion it started to go sideways again this time towards my car, I had to grab it and pull out the battery.

I have the logs for the latter incident, rather than fixing the issue DJI have sent a bill of £80 to repair the cosmetic damage completely dismissing that it was the rc disconnect issue that caused this. The drone has been away for 3 months out of thed 5 i have owned it and im now considering legal action. Can anyone help?

Hi

- The problem is why does the RC (not phone)  disconnect from the AC (the crash is the symptom)
- When will you get back as this drone has been out of service for 70 days, more than 70% of the time I have owned it?
- Have you found any faults on the drone as part of the tests other than a few cosmetic scratches?
- Which Crash are you referring to as the drone has disconnected from the RC (not phone)  over 20-30 times probably more.

If yo can answer the above question it will help me understand what is happening?

Did you also return the RC (with the Mavic)?  The problem could be with either.  Also, could you post a better screenshot.  The first one was unreadable.

Yes, I did send the controller back but they also asked me for logs off my phone.
At the moment it feels like an exercise in which DJI are trying everything to pin it on me.

Please follow the link

They need the log so they can see what happened, like a black box recorder, and what warnings etc. you would have gotten.  You can play it back for yourself on your phone/tablet using the dji go 4 app, select flight record, and the date/time of the flight.  You can then play it out an see what it is doing.

They have had the Drone for a while now originally it was in the status "analysing data" then it changed to the above. DJI have the drone however they still asked me for the the logs off my phone. Ive provided them with what I had and  it seems to be stuck in this status. Anycase I guess I just wait, if you think you can help with the log files you can find them here.
link 1 - drone disconnects and nearly drifts into my car, i had to grab it in flight and pull out the battery. (click notification tab)

http://app.airdata.com/main?share=rLMCDi

link 2 - random disconnect for 30 seconds

http://app.airdata.com/main?share=pOTqqA

I don't have many logs on my phone as part of the troubleshooting process it was suggested that I should completely uninstall DJI Go and re-install. I don't see why they can't get the logs off the drone though.

The logs clearly show the drone completely disconnecting from the drone... Downlink data connection lost for 29.7 seconds

Sorry.  I've been out of town for a week.  I'll check tonight.  However,  from your AirData post,  I would suspect a problem in the Mavic downlink transmitter or the downlink receiver in the RC.  By chance, was the RC also returned to DJI for service?  This is taking a long time :-(

Both your airdata show a warning of (class d airspace)

I haven't seen a chart showing what those Classes are and the restrictions but wonder if this could have been messing with it?

Class D shouldn't impact  or stop the aircraft from flying, its just a warning based on my research.  

Turned out there was a fault on the drone and they replaced it.

They haven't transferred my  refresh over so thats become my next DJI nightmare.
Ive owned the drone 4 months, it been out of service 3.

Maybe we have to face a really sad fact: all these "teams" of "DJI-support" are some very few electronic- and software-engineer-students somewhere in a bamboo-hut in Bangladesh with small-bandwidth internet-connection having lost oversight of all the hardware- and software issues OR the pure mass of reclamations cannot be administered anymore by DJI .................

Either way its not acceptable as they are making money

Here is my expereince:

CAS-755613-M3Q1G2
My drone was delivered in March
Initially I thought it was my fault and I needed to learn how to use the drone
When I reported it to online support they told me it was not a fault this happened around April
I was then told its a firmware issue early May (see forum discussions)
When trying to upgrade the firmware there  was then a separate firmware issue which many people discussed on this forum in relation fimrware upgrade blocker, so this acted as a blocker to the rc disconnection issue  (May, see forum discussions)
Once the firmware issue was resolved the RC issue persisted and I contacted Jessops early June, they didn't collect the drone until 28th JuneMy Drone was said to have been repaired under manufacturers warranty at the end of July
My drone refresh account was transferred over on the 4th August when I first was able to use it

It still continues as my refresh account has a claim on it even though it was replaced under manufactureres warranty and i didn't pay anything for the repair
If you follow one of the other forums DJI are claiming that it did not take 3+ months because they only got the drone late June (they are struggling to see that the drone was faulty and unusable since delivery.
