Scary isn't it? I had this happen to me to the point where it forced my Mavic to low battery level and it became unable to do a RTH (actually it didn't take my commands for a manual RTH and it didn't initiate it's own RTH during signal loss and/or critical low bat condition). None of this even showed up in my (final) log...unfortunately it crash/landed as a result and could not be recovered. Unfortunately for me while I was desperately trying to control it during it's last few seconds of flight, apparently the Mavic was responding to these inputs (even though RC was "Connecting" and App was unresponsive) and since DJI noticed this in the log - I was fully responsible . DJI did not admit there is any issue with either "Video pixellation", or defective GO4 app causing this or "Aircraft Disconnects" with the RC. With your post and numerous others, it appears that there is also a serious issue related to Poor Signal Quality and I think this is causing the many RC Disconnects that people are experiencing.
It would seem that progressive issues with poor code in GO4 app is causing Android phones (approved and not approved) to not be able to process communications related to Occusync - causing either (or all) issues related to a). Video Display (in phone only) b). Poor Signal Quality - leading to "Aircraft Disconnect". BTW..if you should happen to lose your drone to (B) they will not support you b/c your log will likely show signal issue and you will be blamed for flying in a poor area...
This is inconclusive for now until I can test some more but today, I flew safe within a 150’x150’ boundary in my back yard, altitude no greater than 8’. I’m afraid to go further than that with this issue. |
