Vincent I don't know how you expect technology to advance and work correctly but if people don't com ...

I appreciate your response and I agree they need feedback to improve. But if the problems presented in the forum are not accurate than DJI wastes time trying to fix things that are not broken, when they could be working on things that do need to be addressed IMHO. I have installed every firmware update released, that includes my 3 advanced and never experienced worse problems that prior to the upgrade. Maybe i'm lucky but I am pretty sure the majority are bad install problems, aircraft or transmitter specific hardware issues or operator error. Again in my opinion. I will say i have had many times when I have installed an update and had problems, they were always fixed by a reinstall.
So I'm no fan boy ( that hurt it a bit), hell the thing is manufacrted in china.......... I'm just say raely firmware updates are the problem. I love them, keep them coming DJI

Vincent D no offence intended by my comment and can only apologise if it did offend,

Maybe you are more forgiving, patient or maybe lucky that you aren't expiriencing problems some of the community are exposing,

I myself have had problems but other then a slightly tilted gimbal, inaccurate altitude readings and altitude drop I can happily say I am problem free and really enjoying my quad

Again apologises if I offended you

Hi Thanks for the fast reply, Yes i am in the latest update. I have done the emu calibration and c ...

The P4 should be more stable when hovering due to the duel IMU's, compass's, and better VPS system.
Can you please get a quick video clip showing this instability.

My P4 is also experiencing a here and there tilted horizon, altitude drop and rise, and inaccurate altitude reading. I have reset the P4 from Assistant 2, re-installed the latest software (all my batts, controller, and drone have latest software). I have done the IMU calibration several times with a gimbal alignment, and compass calibration at each flight. Where i notice it the most is if i fly straight up to lets say 50-100 ft in the air where the vision sensors cannot see anymore and let go of the sticks it will sometimes go an additional 5-10 ft up but then sometimes starts coming down as well. After i fly around when i bring her back down, the altitude reading will be off sometimes in the negative by up to 30 feet. This was flown off of a flat surface in my backyard. It seems that this all began after the last 2-3 updates, kinda a pain but just fyi it does this in P mode and S mode, never really use A mode around me.

I have updated today and 1st flight my drone now wanders n drops slightly now and again. its a little windy so I didnt get much time to try calibrating again. I will wait for better weather n try again. My drone flew flawlessly before the update, would hover perfectly still till I moved it, if I cant get it stable again, cn some one tell me how to go back to earlier firmware?

ok, so after calibrating the IMU it seems to have stabalized the moving back n forth, but, I let my drone hover for better then 10 minutes @ 4feet in the air, it slowly decends untill its about 8 inches or so of the gournd, bringing it back up, and it does it again, is there something else I have to fix? I am on my deck, too closed to anything to calibrate the compass, so I am wondering if thats the issue

Can you post a screenshot, we've updated many of them here and all is fine.

Ken, I have had no maps and no restrictions in flying in NFZs for weeks now. Nobody at DJI cared, asked me what happened, nothing. I am able to fly and launch inside of every NFZ, and have been able to for weeks now. I have no maps, they stopped working with the last FW upgrade on Android. So his maps not working is important but my maps not working AND my geo fencing not working doesnt raise any red flags down there? Prioritization Tim...I can fly in DC. I can fly next to any airport(not saying im doing that) but your software no longer has flight restrictions at all in relation to NFZs. Im fine with this, im just surprised you are too.

Total BS, been flyin 250 flights with a internet connection only a few without and no difference.

Lol, your funny. Ask any user or moderator in this forum, and you might want to read the manual again. Tablet goes in Airplane Mode, Do Not Disturb mode, AND WiFi Off! This has been so since the P4 was released. The signal from your RC to Aircraft uses that same WiFi channel. It can cause range issues/interruptions if you leave the WiFi on on your FPV tablet. This is commom knowledge dude.

Not ONE word in the manual about putting your device in "flight mode" and has been working so far (over 50 hours in the air with the P3 and P4)  Same wifi? I'm on 4G for the maps. Get real man.

The firmware has nothing to do with the props in your video. Tilt the camera down more and also use a ND filter when flying on sunny days.

ok, so update, after calibrating my IMU n compass, she flies straight n true again, and no gradual decent or lift, she hovers again... I have notice tho, that my heights readings are way off, I've seen as much as -15.9feet when I have landed after flying, the sensors seem fine as they appear to be accurate on distance from ground, tho not sure how far up they read, I noticed them when they went red, about 3 feet off the ground...this is a minor thing tho as I dont really rely on them to tell me how high I am, how ever if someone might kno what may be up, I'm all ears...

thanx Heebus

Feedback on the new firmware:

P4 still has the altitude drop be hovering . Regardless what night of altitude. If I fly low level like 1.5m... she will land. Unfortunately she will do that also from 10m.

The behave of the airplane has changed completely. Before was nice, call fligt. The can was good stabilised.
Now the airplane acts 'nervous'. By accelerating on horizontal flight the Gimbal has hard time to keep the cam calm. Accelerating and brake looks like the airplane makes some emergency manovers. The tilt is around 40 degree then.

The lost of transmission signal in a rage of 150m (altitude/distance) is not it accept. I did not bought a brand new airplane where the advertisement told me "increased range"  and it is not true.

I'm pretty sure a lot issues can be solved be changing the settings. Alone... my attempts to contact the support to get an advanced manual for the advanced settings. . Well. The support is more or less useless.
So if someone here some think like.. thank you to send to me.
To the Dji-Team:   We are clients. We bought your you to have some fun. That's make you buying food on the end of the day. So upgrade not only the quality of your support, upgrade your behave to give us firmware that brings the value of those things down.  This is not right!
So we can stay happy and buy more of your stuff.
Thank young

I'm sorry you are having difficulties. The full PDF manual and a lot of tutorial videos are in the Academy section of the app. from the home page, the upper right icon (graduation hat) will take you to there.
If you have correctly done all the calibrations (IMU, compass, gimbal) and your aircraft is not preforming as advertised then please contact support and send it in for repair.
http://www.dji.com/supportSome users are getting positive results by preforming a factory reset from the Aassistant2, you can try that to see if it helps any.

New Firmware...

Dear Dji  team
The new FW is rubbish.
The issue of "low connection" is not solved. New is that now even a "low gps signal" appears on a free field where was no problem before. The low transmission signal start in I altitude of 120m already.
Also a new and not welcome bug is.. the "follow m e" doesn't work basicly. It tells ..low gps signal.. if I leave this mode.. gps is fine.
Also the FW want that I fly 10I up and away from the object I like to follow. This is bull****.
The frame how appears to select a object of person is no more there. In this new FW the drone if acting like a low buyer robot. She makes weird move on the follow mode. The 10x10 meters even carry a highly risk of collision.

Is this software are made by microsoft..?
I make a bet you can do better..
I decide to downgrade the FW on the last one how have the smooth fly I expected when I bought it.
Feel free to contact me to sort out the FW issue.

I'm new to this but I don't seem to have any of the issues people are discussing, lucky?. Ive just come to use the P4 for the 4th time since I got it last week, it said the software on the P4 and controler didn't match (I guess it updates in the background or something?), did the update and bam everything's good.

READ FORUM BEFORE UPDATING FIRMWARE

READ THESE FORUMS BEFORE YOU FLY!!  I ran the firmware update yesterday when I setup my brand new phantom 4, it flew fine, today it says there is another NEW firmware, I update firmware the drone flew out about 17 feet, good, then I took drone up in the air and the drone all of the sudden lost all responsiveness and crashed into the ground from 200 feet!!   CAUTION.  I sent DJI the sync from my iphone and they say they will respond within 24-48 hours, I will keep you posted.
Rather strange for such a technologically advanced machine.
And yes, I calibrated the drone before I flew it.
Ps. I just checked the DJI Assistant2 again and it is now telling me there is ANOTHER UPDATE AVAILABLE???   It shows a "Upgrade" button on v01.01.0411
PS.2 . I just clicked on the DJI Assistant2 again and now it showing my firmware is "current".
Maybe the DJI assistant2 is NOT working properly and not updating the firmware properly.  GO DJI>> GO and FIX This  >>>> you have such an amazing thing here!
I have been reviewing my flight path and control positions and it appears that the Phantom 4 lost communications with the controller on it's way up at 52 feet, regained communication at 114.8 feet, then lost it again at 150 feet, went up to 232. 9 feet on it's own, then started dropping on it's own with no control changing ability and it lost elevation tracking at 160.7 feet while on it's way down to crash into the earth.
Current Status of drone- the little white covers on the landing legs look "splintered" and 3 of the little covers completly fell off and the rest of the longer covers are partially hanging on.  The legs must be bent because the covers are not able to snap back onto the drone.  It does power on and connect to the computer and the phantom 4 remote controller.  I am not going to try and fly it since it appears to be "not squared".

I'm a bit stuck at the moment since attempting a FW upgrade. Via iphone download it failed to update the P4, though RC updated OK.
App now tells me to download firmware via dji website, but I can't find it.
Installed DJI Assistant on my Mac, and when plugging in the P4 to the Mac once I've started the DJI Assistant application, I just see a large image showing a USB plug... I guess it's telling me to plug the P4 into the computer... which it is.
Any ideas?

Clearly the geo feature is designed to both educate and inform operators of their proximity to restricted airspace.  It also appears to give the user more flexibility to fly in airspace that might legally require contacting the  airfield to gain approval, while removing or at least minimizing  DJI's liability if some incident were to occur.
