Today while flying, I received a couple warnings about obstructed or loose prop so I headed back to home point without incident. All props were rotating before shutting down so shut everything down and headed back home (in my car this time). I wanted to fly again after I got back home so I installed a fresh battery and all I get now is a steady, very loud beep about 2 beeps per second. I tried another fresh battery and same thing. My screen says that it's ready for take off but obviously won't start up with the continued beep. Any ideas anyone?

Just by chance, was the left joystick on the remote clicked in the down position?

Can you post a video?

That's not a feature on the P3

Your saying the warning that I got about obstructed or loose prop is not a feature or the steady loud beep is not a feature? I don't know what to say other than both happened. Last night after posting my comment, I put the P3 in the trunk of my car with it turned on (still loud beeping with approx. 2 beeps per second) and after 5 minutes or so, the beeping had stopped and I flew without issue for several minutes. I was using DJI Go's app by the way when I got the prop warning. Should my transmitter have stored everything that my iPad screen was showing at the time? I've never reviewed this option if that's possible.

I was replying to the other person saying that with the P3, the throttle doesn't have a lock in the down position like the P2.
Please make a video or what you are seeing and also with the sound of the beeps. If it's giving you errors and making beeps, you really should not be flying it. Has it been crashed?
And which Phantom do you have?
Do your motors feel smooth?
The loose prop is a new warning in the app that goes off if you don't have all the props on. But you said you were flying so it shouldn't have been going off.
Try to delete and reinstall the app (save your flights to the cloud first) and if it still happens, try a different device.
If it doesn't go away then your aircraft is somehow sensing something incorrectly when you start the motors and you need to send it in for repair.

Thanks for the reply Ken but with the beeping going on, it wouldn't have taken off anyway. I've got the P3 Pro and no, it's never been crashed. The steady beep went away after locking the "misbehaving" P3 in the trunk of my car while I had it armed. When I went back out to the car maybe 15 minutes later, the beeping was gone and so were any errors on the Go app. Prior to putting it in the trunk, I did insert the latest firmware in the SD card. It's never acted like this before so I'll keep a steady eye on any irregularities.

If you did the firmware update, then it does make beeps for up to 25 minutes.
Glad it's working ok now.

The beeps were prior to the firmware update. The beeping started after I got home from flying and charged up another battery because I wanted to go flying after I got home as well.

Issue seems to be fine now but if I do delete the app and reinstall, how to I save it to the Cloud? Stupid question I'm sure.

When you open the GO app, on the top left is a paper airplane icon. Go in there and that will slow your flights. The Sync is the cloud icon top right.
ALSO, from the main page, if you go in the top right icon (graduation hat) there you will find the manual and the tutorial videos.

Ken,

I just took a look at that flight record where the Go app said that I had either an obstructed prop or a loose prop. No kidding but it shows that I traveled from my actual starting point all the way down to the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador.  I kid you not. Should I be concerned with the major error?

I was looking at my flight path that I took and see where I got the "motor obstructed" warning. At the same time, I received a "aircraft enters altitude limited mode". This is where the flight path yellow line showing me flying to the Galapagos Islands. Lol

Well, on mine, if I land and click the left stick in the down position so it stays down, when I power up the drone I get two loud beeps until I release the stick.

Sorry. I meant P3 Pro/Advanced

Ah.. I can only wish for one of those for now.

That's strange, I don't know why you got the messages while flying.
