Don't do the app update if you have a Samsung Galaxy phone.  I did mine last night before an important shoot this morning.  after startup/compass calibration it only lasts for 1 or 2 minutes before you see the dreaded "disconnected" and the app dies.  When it restarts it restarts at the beginning, interrupting any flow you have going.  My first P2 would still shoot pics even without the fpv upgrade i did.  This won't, since the app controls the taking of pics and video.  Shame on DJI once again.
DJI once again has let us down.

Does anyone know if we can down rev the rc unit to 1.3, before the latest "update?"

rocket, i do a restart before every flight.  how do i cache the maps?  i'm currently international so use the actual cell service very sparingly.  could have an impact i know.

And ye, i know, why update right after release?  because it said update required.

i think I just cached the map and if so i did it last night too.  i turned on the system and cleared the video cache which brought up the local map.  i will go out and do a test flight and see if the apps acts better.  if it crashes i will then turn on the local (hugely expensive) cell service and see if that helps.  better to spend money on cell service if it works...

stay tuned.

I have a Galaxy Tab4A and I have to "factory reset" my tablet about every four or five flights...otherwise the video gets choppy/laggy and eventually freezes up

Yeh start the go app before you go flying expand the map where you plan on taking off so it cache's it.Then turn on flight mode as you wont need cell  service as you already have the map good to go.

Try this:

1. Uninstall the DJI GO app
2. Remove the DJI folder from your device
3. Install the DJI GO app
4. DISABLE USB DEBUGGING (most important thing)

Do you have to be connected to the copter to cache the map or can it Bo done with just the app?
