I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY PHANTOM 4 pro . Already tree times I had a problem with "WEAK GPS SIGNAL" . The problem that the signal drop quickly from 17 to 0  (satellite count ) . I always fly in the same place and it never happened. I don't know what to do.I already thought about going back to the factory settings.

Hello ANDRÉ, does the issue appear in every flight? How about changing to another place without interference?

I had a very similar issue with my P4P-from out of the box, new - but after a week or so I decided to do a compass calibrations and it was cured of these messages and the weird satellite count numbers - give it a try I did even though my app said all was ok with the compass before. it can't hurt?

Susan yesterday I flew in other place and the problem appear one time only. Like I told you this problem appear and disappear quickly between 2 - 4 second. Yesterday night  I done a downgrade on the aircraft. I already done test also. I flew with two battery and the last one appear one time only.

There's nothing on top of the aircraft is there ?

The GLONASS/GPS receivers are mounted at the to of the aircraft just under the DJI sticker. Anything on top of that can block these signals.

If you've tried flying in different locations (in open areas), tried different firmware and refresh/factory resets and still getting the problem then I would return for repair. There could be a loose connection to GPS/GLONASS receiver.

If you're flyig in forested or mountainous areas then it may be usual to lose satelitte reception more easily.

I had this happen once but I was near a large mining facility with Lots of Metal Buildings and Silos, electric motors etc......I just chalked it up to interference from all that.  It has never happen again.  Check your flying location.

Thanks for getting back to us. If the GPS is not blocked, I'm afraid that you have to send it in for inspection. Please check whether the local dealers can help you.

Hi, everybody. i'm the beginner but i seem i solved a problem. Spoiler - the problem in A-GPS.


1. Install any GPS program like ("GPS test" or other) where you can CLEAR A-GPS data.
2. Set "Airplane mode"
2. In program for clear A-GPS data you tap on Clear A-GPS
3. Then reboot you phone
4. Disable "Airplane mode" after reboot
5. It works!

The signal GPS again STRONG

But:
1. I don't know how it works and why
2. In my phone moto x pure edition this problem appears again through
unspecified amount of time. So i just I take 5 steps again and it is ready.

PS. it works for my Phantom 3 standart with DJI GO v 3.1.30 + Moto X Pure with android 7.0
PSS  sorry for my bad english
