Has anyone tried to re-install or update Litchi or Dronelink on the Smart Controller after the  0650 upgrade? I discovered that the PACKAGE INSTALLER STOPS immediately upon invocation. True for all and any packages. Looks like DJI LOCKED DOWN the Smart Controller.

I proceeded to downgrade back to 0530 and install the later version of GO4 and everything else I use occasionally. No problems with that process and I will stay away from 0650 until someone is able to come up with a work-around or fix for the Package Installer problem. Maybe DJI did not really intend to lock down the SC and will fix it? I sure hope so.

I’ve just installed VLC on clean .650 using .apk downloaded from videolan page. May be that way will work for you

In my opinion turning Developer on caused my problems. Factory reset turned Developer off and now I can use Assistant2 on my MacBook Pro. Everything works except straight USB-C to USB-C connection, so I have to use USB-C to USB-A cable with Apple USB-A to USB-C adaptor. I think it’s a bug in SC

That was the only thing that allowed the firmware to update.

I heve no SD card inserted and anything else.
I discoverd that bug long time ago. Hoped DJI fixed it already.

I don't need to do that, because from my own experience, it doesn't help, I tested every possible solution, also the cables.

In the end, it worked on a MAC, original or some other cable, makes no difference.

You surely know cheap cables may work or not, so cables make difference

I was finally able to update to new firmware. This time, I was able to do it via the controller rather than using assistant 2

I updated thru WiFi after many failed asst 2 all works well

In my experience, developer is on by default even after hard reset, and it worked that way with my mac.
On Windows, nothing worked, no matter what I tried.

Yes, cheap China USB cables maybe don't comply with the USB standards.
I use the cable from my Samsung, because with the dji cable, I lose connection every few seconds. But just with the mavic, not the remote.
So I guess, the dji cable is one of those cheap China cables.

You’re right. Some cables work ather not, doesn’t matter Samsung, DJI, Baseus or Apple, ALL are made in China.
DJI’s Android on SC is specific one, it works in different way for USB, we have 2 A and C. Developer is disabled by default as on other Android devices. USB-C is in debug mode, so you can use it for charging and transfering. It doesn’t work properly in some cases. E.g. my MBP have only USB-C thundrbolt sockets, so if I use staight USB-C to USB-C cable it not works. For me connection USB-C to USB-A and USB-A to USB-C cables does work. So in my opinion USB-C in SC is not properly configured and my MBP thinks it’s a thunderbolt instead of usb.

I assume you use older Mac with USB-A sockets. My MBP has only USB-C thunderbolts.

Clean install? Did you perform a factory reset before installing 0650?
What was your procedure?

Question to DJI  SC Fellows : Quick Fly is a great option , which allows us without hustle bustle enter directly  to the DJI Go 4 Camera Screen,
However this option does, or does not bypass the routine check for the firmware status ,which we normally see during the normal start up of the Go4?

All good with update on my smart controller with the controller update only - not via assistant. Also no language bugs in my case. And Fly Immediately is an awesome option.

Disregard, found the answer in earlier post.

I *think* they've removed the P4Pv2 integration that was in the 0560 firmware beta.  I don't own a P4Pv2, but I had done some testing with a friend a while back during the beta program.  When I go look at the Aircraft Management screen in the settings, my friend's P4Pv2 is now showing an icon of an M2Z instead of the P4Pv2.

If I'm right, I don't understand why they didn't keep this integration.  It worked really well from my short experience, and I don't recall seeing anything negative from other beta testers.

I imagine it was a marketing decision. They want to sell the Phantom 4 Pro V2 Plus model with the built in display. If they made it where the SC would work with the Phantom 4 Pro V2 it might hurt their sales of the plus model. Just a thought.

Did follow-me mode even work on it?  There must be one or more massive problems no one knows nothing about which is why they pulled it.

Thanks for all the posts helping to properly install this new version. I finally performed a Factory Reset and removed the SD card from the SC. Re-installed the correct Assistant and proceeded to upgrade to the latest version. Completed to 100% successfully --- AND everything works great including the PACKAGE INSTALLER.
Happy camper.

I did a factory reset because I wasn’t able to refresh a FW via Assistant2, see my earlier posts. After refresh a FW, downloaded VLC on to a pendrive, next installed it on SC. That’s all.

Many beta testers have written about issues, but we haven't gotten a proper channel to the devs. We have asked for it, but gotten no reply at all from DJI.

So, no shame to us beta testers. If you want to complain, complain to DJI!

I fully agree since beginning all beta testers in program were complaining that there is zero communication back from DJI nor confirmation or acknowledgement of found bugs.

By the way this weekend during flight after cca 3kms my SRC told me that no signal and picture grayed out, RTH was started immediatelly and there was signal with AC all the time I was even able to see AC on map how it is coming back but no picture from camera at all. When AC came back I have tried to close video windows and open it agan without help, then tried to close whole dji go app while AC was still in air and picture came back after that. Did somebody encountered this? I have done factory reset of SRC before upgrade and also after upgrade so everything was cleaned up and this was 2nd flight after upgrade. Never experienced such before.

Updated to .650.  Google Play not working.  Deleted the app for now.  Main issue is that AirData is no longer syncing.  I downloaded the latest version (34) that is supposed to address this issue but still no go.

The DJI Sync now works BUT it added all the flights to my log.  I now have double the number of flights! I look like a Drone Master!  I can live with the DJI Flight Log being inaccurate but absolutely rely on AirData.  

Anyone else find this to be a problem after the update?

As far as airdate sync goes, this is how the new airdate sync app works for me.  it doesn't show how many files are being synced like the old version did, its now says sync started and you just have to wait till you see sync finished, that's why I thought it was not working, I was not giving it enough time to sync, as nothing was showing what was happening, I just closed the app down.
