So, I have been luck so far.  Through all updates I read everyting and watched all videos and didnt have any problems with updates or flights unitl updating yesterday to 1.2.6 on my P3P.    I updated P3P with no problem, took 14 minutes and recieved "success" in txt. file.  Also updated controller and that took about 2 minutes.  Started everything up and immediately noticed the talked about lag on my iphone (iphone 6 V8.3), have not had this problem before with any of the updates.  Screen on iphne will pan screen from top to bottom, go gray at top, pixelate and then come back.  Have seen posts about issues with Android and Nexus tablets but havent seen anything with an IOS device, any one else?

Sorry to mention this is going on in the Pilot App

I am having the exact same problem using iPhone 5S.  I wish i could roll back to the previous firmware version.  If I was experiencing this much lag right out of the box i probably would have returned it.

Was fine before, a lot of people are having same problem after reading posts.  Haven't seen that it affects the flight controls which is good

DJI said to "enable hardware decoding" in the pilot app.  I haven't tried it yet but it's worth a shot.

Still have tearing, pixilation going to blank feedback (View), just had a weak image transmission flash on top of app.

DJI also said the same to me. I have tried testing on my desk and the real time video transmission is still choppy and lagging.

After the latest updates I started experiencing serious lags as well, but the lags that drove me crazy was not not the video lag - it's the time between tapping an icon and having the menu react.

After the last few days of reading posts here, I think heat is the overall culprit. Either my mobile device is getting too hot, it's too hot outside or both. I guess we need to build a refrigeration system for our mobile devices!

Someone wrote that they disabled Google Play Services to help make their device run cooler. But I read in the docs to the DJI Ultimate Flight app that the Google Play Service *must* be running.

Maybe it's possible that Google Play Services is the real "heat" culprit, whether it be the Pilot or the Ultimate Flight app. (Now that I think of it - the Ultimate Flight app has been around a while because it was first introduced for a previous version of the Phantom.)

Back to the theoretical drawing board!
