Thanks all for your support But again it is just a theory.
I have updated to the new IOS app and downgraded to the 3.08 Firmware. I have not been able to replicate the issue since.
So the 3.10 Firmware may well have either been the culprit or at least exacerbated an existing issue.
I will get an oscilloscope probe on the power rails and see if I can see any noise that may account for GPS issues. And stress the power system.
Its interesting that in my reading of a number of issues posted around the web that people have complained about the GoPro gimbal causing a loss of satellites when recording.
I have also had a look at mods that have shielded the GPS and even the cabling and they report a significant increase in the sat reception.
There may be both Power and RF noise effecting the operation of the GPS. It may actually be a combination of the 2 that triggers a flyaway. I will see what the Oscilloscope reveals.
Guy, et al,
Thanks for your support it nice to see others with similar backgrounds that could help DJI improve the product and customer relations.
I do a lot of corporate consulting and I know that many companies pay a fortune to polling companies to poll customers and get customer feedback.
This site is a golden opportunity for DJI to get this same information for free.
If only they would invest a little more in it.
Valuable information like the thread you posted above is scattered all over the forum and in no meaningful order.
The issues about firmware 3.10 were being posted by lots of members as soon as it was released but again it was scattered all over the forum in many non related threads.
I know that the forum administrators like Autumn can't spend all day searching around threads by name, and checking every post to get this information.
But it would make sense if the had a release feedback forum that was read only, and allocate some of the older (member time not age ) trustworthy members, moderator rights so they could move and rename threads into a release feedback forum.
They would then get the feedback instantly that most companies have to pay for, and have us and the moderators, doing the work for them for free.
Even getting us to impove the english in their manuals and software would be a big bonus for them.
To win a Formula 1 Championship, you need the fastest, best handling car, the best driver, the best pit crew and the best tyres and Information Systems.
You have to get it all right, the best fastest car will not do it for you alone.
DJI need to recognise that for them to win in this industry, not only do they need the best product. (And I think they do) but they also need to have the best customer support and the best quality operational systems (Updates). etc.
Sony tried having the best Video Tape product with Betamax and it was better than VHS. But in the end they lost it all.
I know I'm preaching to the already converted.
Cheers
