Here's how to activate the Phantom 4 Pro.

Hi i have a p4p+. Just purchased it last week. When i switch on the RC. The built in screen ask for wifi connection for activation. It picks up all the wifi in the area inc neighbours but its not seeing my wifi. My wifi is working fine and showing on my phone or ipads or laptop. Just not showing on the built in screen. Any ideas on what i could do? I assume its got all the latest firmware has i purchased from maplin uk only last week. Thanks for your help

I have reset my home wifi a couple of times without success

The same here. Just picked it up today, trying the activation. Finds all the neighborhood wifi networks, but not my own at home. Should I go for a coffee to my neighbor to find my wifi and activate it? ;)

Is it a bug or is it normal?

Actually it can find my printer network and my mini pocket wifi-router, so I'm trying with the mini-router....

Ive just borrowed my neighbours wifi

I managed to update the p4p+ RC using neighbours wifi.  now its been upgraded i can see my home wifi.  so maybe the latest version has a fix. i dont know.

I am also updating the aircraft via the RC using the cable.  I just realised I have been sat waiting about 25mins watching my RC screen with a blue "downloading" button.  I assumed it meant its downloading.  After 25mins of waiting I decided to touch the blue downloading button. It then begins to download and then install.  the whole process took about 10mins.  

Message to newbs like me.  Downloading means "start download" so touch the blue downloading button to start the upgrade.

Glad to hear you've got it sorted out, enjoy it and let us know for any further questions.

I would have thought it was the security on your WiFi blocking it.

how can i check if my activation was successful? If i go into the DJI Go 4 App it shows the Version of the App, Aircraft and Remote Controller, but not the Flight Controller Serial Number !?
It´s a brand new P4P and haven´t been up in the air once cause of the problems i´m having :-(
A downgrade on the DJI 4 Go App is not possible - everything ist up to date - even my iPhone!

Can someone help? DJI is not responding and if they don´t give me a solution, i will send the P4P back and no more DJI products for me - sorry, but for that much money i expect definitively more/better support!

No activation screen shows up in app. Brand new P4P have yet to fly due to issues. I turn it on and it just beeps. Have upgraded camera firmware and the DJI Assitant software says it has the latest firmware. Need help asap. send to connerykoski@gmail.com

Please PM me your aircraft SN, I'll check it for you.
The beep sound is referencing to remote controller or aircraft?
What is the LED status on remote?
Both aircraft and remote are up to date?

I have registered mine, but the name I gave it didn't apply, all my flight logs refer to it as "m"

Please help confirm your aircraft model, have you tried to restart all devices?
Then please upload a screenshot here, thanks.

Phantom 4 Pro Plus is the model.  It is in the flight logs.  The new controller does not have screenshot capability, nor can I access the files on it.  For a more advanced system, It has an awful lot of limitations that I was not expecting.  At least using a phone I could access all the files.

Is there going to be a revised upgrade release soon that addresses the vast number of problems people are having with this new upgrade? MY drone arrives this week and I don't want to create problems before I even start.
Thanks,
DM

Doubtful. DJI usually releases firmwares about once every 2 months. So I'd suggest getting used to no Smart RTH toggle and having a much crappier live feed than was prior to this disaster-release.

I would add another part of the problem:
I don't believe there is any accountability at DJI- in most places, such a disastrous release with new problems would force a reckoning for the project manager who authorized this to be released without enough (any) QA. At DJI, it just seems like their way of doing business. So it repeats.

That's a pretty sad state of affairs.

I'm on the last screen to bind my aircraft with my account. It says "activation failed (server back fail)" anyone else have this problem?

Would you please try again to activate it? The issue might be caused by server failure.

after upgrading to the latest RC firmware I had Chinese Mainland Phone Number issue so I tryied to Reset To Factory Defaults, but now I am unable to Sign In as it says it doesn't find a network to connect but I am unable to select a WiFi network, I can't see where to choose it.

found the solution: Swipe down and turn the WiFi on, as it is off by default!

Same here, I went down the road to a cafe and same problem there.

Hi. Had the 4Pro+ for a week now and yesterday I got the message to Link and Verifiy my mainland China phone number (I'm in the UK). I updated drone firmware and reset the controller which worked for a few minutes in the 'flight simulator' but once I'd finished it's asking me again.
