Hi I dont know if this helps but my experience is like yours.
Loved my first p4p but it got some water in it and that was that.
Got another brand new one and its pretty much been a similar story, cannot fly for any distance at all without the Strong radio interference, signal lost, then connects again.
I had severe issues then replaced the cable between controller and iphone back to the standard Apple one and it was a lot better, just a message every 30 seconds or so....
I am an experienced RP and had passed my theory test so I bought a Mavic 2Pro with Smart controller.
Flying this in same place, same day, never a single problem.
Land it, start the P4P and problems start.
When I just had the P4P and approaching my test I went through all firmware updates etc, it was all up to date. I got used to the messages but as soon as I got the Mavic, I kind of gave up with the Phantom.
I flew the white bird the other day and within a minute the warnings started, lost signal and triggered RTH.
I am using an apple iphone with Go4 so I am tempted to try it with my Android phone I got recently just to see if its any better. But I am sure its down to the individual drone as my old one was much better than this one.
Interesting that my Airdata records show that drone #1 made on Oct 12 2016 , I bought it in Jan 2017 but drone #2 purchased April 2018 was manufactured Oct 19th 2016, so it sat around in storage for a while?
