The Steps :

       1. Download the firmware at http://phantomhelp.com/Mobile/Phantom-3-Standard/#FirmwareArchive and select the fw that you want .bin file format

2. Insert the file to sd card, outside folder, and must be the only one .bin file format

3. Turn on the RC and the drone without sd card until it connect (RC and Drone)

4. Connect to DJI GO App (to see downgrade status stay at front page of the app)

5. Insert the sd card. Then the downgrade process is starting and rear led will turn to yellow and there will be beep sound from the drone (it is normal). See at DJI GO app, there will be status bar show the downgrade process. If the rear led becomes green it means the process is complete, you also can see the succes notice at DJI GO App.

6. Restart the RC and Drone, connect DJI GO App, check the FW. Finish.

I hope it can help the issue of 1.6.80 firmware for Phantom 3 Standard

NOTE : DO IT WITH YOUR OWN RISK!

After installing the firmware 1,6,8 bird began to fly up to 50 meters and then lost the video signal , now all works well , 120 meters stable video transmitted. Thank you very much to the author !

Hi all,
i have received my p3s back and this afternoon i have tested it.
I was in a park with a lot of peple so i didn't push my drone to the limit.
I was in the same place where i have lost rc signal after 40-50 meters.
Well today a reched 100 meters of distance and 79.5 of altitude and My rc signal was full, all the time.
I know it's not a full test but it's a good signal for me.
This week end i will full test my p3s  


Anyway if you have rc signal issue SEND YOUR P3S BACK TO DJI REPAIR SERVICE

P.S. dj go ask me to register my p3s so it's a new one

P.P.S. p3s firmware version is 1.6.8

There is no DJI silence, if you have a P3, P4, or Inspire and are experiencing any kind of abnormal issue that cannot be resolved with the troubleshooting steps and you are in a interference free area and have the antenna orientation correctly and you still have extremely bad results then contact support and have it sent in.

No, not really. Out of the tens of thousands of users a few of them are experiencing an issue.

I ordered one P3S from Amazon. Had troubles with range, sent for replacement. The replacement has problems with range after update from initial version. That's my statistic.

You had bad range in a large field as well?
The P3 Standard is WiFi and if you are in a congested area with lots or 2.4 WiFi routers around you are not going to get great range.

Hi DJI-Ken

I'm a new user of a P3S for the last 3 weeks. I have noticed poor range on RC signal with RTH due to signal loss at 30-50m height and 50-100m distance. The better results are obviously in open fields. I have fully sync'd my logs and I'm looking at a return as I definitely feel I'm one of the unlucky ones - can you advise how to proceed please? I'm in the UK.

I initially did an upgrade to 1.6.8 straight out of the box, so unsure as to what the results would have been had I not upgraded. Would prefer not to sell/return a 3 week old phantom - would rather get it working to at last the specs that others in similar positions are suggesting I should be achieving....

Many thanks GreenBhoy
PS sorry to hijack - will also raise a new thread

A few? there are dozens and dozens of people on this forum reporting the same issue and they're just the tip of the iceberg, loads of people wont come here to talk about it they will simply return the drone or try to persevere, or they will contact DJi directly.

I think it's disingenuous of DJi to try and play this off as if it's only effecting a few people, most companies would have pulled the problematic firmware and rolled the changes back but DJi refuses to even acknowledge the problem. I get the whole legal side of things but you're trampling all over your customers for the sake of maintaining image.

Why not admit there is an issue then start looking at how you can fix it? The old adage that you have to be willing to admit there is a problem before you can fix it is strong here, the head in the sand act really isn't going to cut it.

Just posted this on another thread on the same subject ........thread title  - downgrade P3S coz LOST SIGNAL at LOW DISTANCE

I have exactly the same problem at only 140 metres away at a height of 60 metres in Australia. It's a real pain and puts you off flying. I won't go for another DJI if they don't fix this soon and I mean soon. You always get asked the same questions where were you flying, have you moved location, have you relinked and done all calibrations. Yes we have we have been flying a long time. When you tell DJI this they never comment back except to say send it in for repair. It's not broken it worked before 1.6.8 and 1,7.9 so it's your firmware DJI.

If you were experiencing any range issue or interference, the last firmware update addressed this.
What issue are you having if not a range or interference problem.

No DJI-ken the last software did not cure interference or range issue look over the net it made it worse just like 1.6.8 did on the previous one.

If you still have short range in an open interference area then you need to contact support and sent the aircraft in for evaluation.

Impossible when I live in Australia and I am not paying DJI anymore for sending it back and being without it for 2 months and then getting a bill from you. I only fly a maximum of 200 meters distance at a max height of 80 meters and this bird wont even do that since your last software update !!!! It not the phantom its your software, read all the thousands of posts on the net saying this only happened with 1.6.8 and now 1.7.9. You guys need to admit you have a problem and stop forgetting you first loyal customers, please don't turn into an "Apple" who do the same. All you have to do is rewrite the software and get it right. It worked before all these updates so how can it be the phantom, just go back to the old software - oh no I can't do that because DJI's last upgrade stopped us all being able to wind back from 1.7.9. If we can wind back to one that works please tell us how.

1.7.9 resolved the short range, if it has not with your Standard then you need to send it in for repair.

No 1.7.9 has not solved the problem, remember DJI continually said 1.6.8 didn't have a short range issue and now you have just said 1.7.9 solved this so obviously 1.6.8 was a problem. Please read the thousands of post all over the net saying 1.7,9 has this problem as well. So are you saying DJI has made thousands of drones that are faulty with a short range problem. Please listen to us and tell your software engineers there is a problem out here and please fix it soon.

you also can use argtek,
or an parabolic works.
my range was 100 m and it was disconnected.
I've made an DIY parabolic( see folder)
now I have 350 meter With strong signal ( i have not tested it with more distance )
you need alluminium, glue and cardboard
