update for each battery? i also updated through dji assistant, there was nothing about battery firmware?
i just update with 1 full charged battery. what about my other battery?
is there a procedure i should be following. if not whats the consiquence?

The procedure for me is plug in 1st battery, upgrade firmware.
Turn off, take out that batter and plug in the 2nd battery, DJI assistant 2 will said that software conflict or something and ask you to confirm the upgrade.
After finish,Turn off and plug in the next battery

FYI - Just performed the upgrade on Spark.  Mine stuck at 97% for 15 minutes.  Power cycled the drone and DJA2 showed complete.  Swapped battery and upgrade completed fine.  Have not flown yet, but connection via OTG to remote works fine.

When you put another battery in it should tell you that an inconsistent firmware is found and then you have to swipe to update the new battery.

Why is 4.1.4 go app still not available on google playstore everywhere ?

the firmware 4.1.4 is uploaded through the DJI go 4 app. The DJI go 4 app is not a new  app.

So what's up with the 4.1.4 app not showing up in the Google play store? Do we seriously have to sideload the apk from a 3rd party source or am I doing something wrong???

there is no 4.1.4 app. the firmware is 4.1.4 downloaded through the DJI go 4 app.

there is no 4.1.4 app. the firmware is 4.1.4 downloaded through the DJI go 4 app.

What I have learned is that both the DJI Go 4 iOS and Android apps were updated to version 4.1.4.  However, the Android Go 4 4.1.4 version was pulled from the play store and 4.1.3 was put back due to issues with the 4.1.4 Android version.  I expect we will see the Android 4.1.4 version re-released soon.

The firmware that is pushed through the DJI Go 4 app is Aircraft Firmware: V 01.00.0500 and Remote Controller Firmware: V 01.00.0300

Updated and flew this evening. Couple issues. The video hand gesture would not work no matter what I did.  Twice a palm launch resulted in the spark moving quickly sideways about 3 ft. Selfie photo quality is much better at 4K.

I updated as well. Overall, I'm happy with the improvements.

Pros
* Full resolution selfies
* Interference warning on startup (I never got these before, but I'd rather see them and be on the safe side by disabling bluetooth than lose my Spark completely)
* As someone else reported, the hand gestures appeared to be faster and more responsive
* 180 Pano results look great
* Pushing on the sticks to stop a quickshot was a nice intuitive feature


Cons
* Couldn't get video gesture to work
* Distance slider on Helix and Dronie still doesn't work
* Dronie still doesn't climb much

I updated all the firmware, remote and drone, and the DJI app, but unlike some YouTube videos, while I got gimbal speed control new, I do not have the speed of drone setting in the stick control menu. Several people show that online but mine does not have it?

Anyone elsehave problem with sync flight records? I have tried 3phones but it gets stuck at 67% and never completes the sync, it seems it is still not addressed in this updates

I had also the impression that the update was stuck at 97% without succes but It's not.
You need to wait patiently. After a (long) while the Spark will restart automatically and your battery will be updated. You need to repeat  this for every battery you have.

Video activation for Gesture does not trigger (did multiple re-install of firmware) 3 different battery tests of gesture for video recording in 2 different lighting conditions.
Dronie does not ascend above 10 feet when slider is at minimum or while slider is at maximum. (while using iphone 6s as controller)
Tap to Fly now has a speed slider that does work while using the controller.
Controller wifi to phone connection is near unusable without a OTG wired connection.

THis update seems to have broken more features than it has fixed.

What is europe wifi bug?

The fact that in europe, you have to reset the wifi network ( press 9sec on the spark) everytime you want to connect your drone to your phone...

Have you tried activating Active Track by hand gesture "Y" BEFORE or AFTER performing video record by hand gesture ?
My Spark cannot recognize Active Track by hand gesture anymore from this firmware version despite it 's able to perform video recording by Hand gesture perfectly.

After the firmware update, my iPhone 6s kept losing WiFi connection every couple of minutes and stating 'incorrect password' I then had to reset the WiFi on the Spark to be able to reconnect. Then it disconnects again after a couple of minutes. Not prepared to fly with this firmware until this is fixed, it has also put me off buying any further hardware (controller, batteries, Mavic) until this issue is resolved. UK based, I assume this is the WiFi bug others have posted about?

First Demo:
-Made the FW upgrade and last DJI GO app (IOS 4.1.4)
-I think is more stable in gesture mode
-Cant make movie gesture to work
-Nice 4k selfie photos

My problems weren't solve on this upgrade:
-The Dronie (Quickshot) is not accepting the distance i make. So when i inputed 30 meters, we goes away on that direction untill disconnects from the iphone 7. Circle is working fine, didn't tried other yet (low battery)
-The "drama" of wifi 5.8GHZ Europe makes it disconnect from 30 / 40 meters away of spark (and then he hovers and RTH). Tried to chance to 2.4 but the problem of iphone disconnection persists.

Hi the voice promts work when in gesture mode meaning that it tells you what is happening. eg the ladies voice will say palm launch activated or face recognised.
at first i though of it as our voice to command it do what we want it to, but no its not like that.
By the way you need to have your phone connected to hear the voice prompts

The voice prompts are the remote telling you what is going on. ie: "palm launch activated"

It is not voice commands. i was also confused by this at first until someone corrected me.

BE CAREFUL WITH THIS FIRMWARE - POTENTIAL BATTERY KILLER
Proceed with extreme caution. After proceeding with this upgrade (26/07/2017 version), one of my batteries has died this morning. I got the infamous "inconsistent firmware" message after switching batteries despite having made the upgrade with a fully charged one. I can't switch off the battery and it stays with the 2 middle LEDs always ON. It won't charge with the hub either (red status LED). I will try to revive the battery with the wall charger instead and see if it can recover. If not, I'll go for an RMA through DJI support.

Battery always ON with middle LEDs permanently lit

i'm pretty sure it has always been 4k with rc or phone to take stills. the resolution was reduced for gesture control but not anymore according to dji.

You will need to do the update with every battery, not just one.

I got the same "inconsistent firmware" message, but it should then prompt you to slide to do an update. Once you do that, you'll have to repeat the process with all your other batteries.
