Just a note that I have updated to .700 with no issues.

As always, I used the GO4 APP, with IPHONE6S+ no WIFI. Download took about 4 minutes. Update took about 14 minutes.

Please add how did you update, type of phone/tablet and OS. Hopefully this post will be a reference point for PHONE/TABLET that update without issues.

Make sure you shut off the AC / RC/ and then reboot RC/AC/.

To be on the safe side, check all of your settings!

Also batteries DOESN'T need updating with this firmware.

SAFETY FIRST - FUN SECOND

It is really a mystery why some people can't update from the app. I never used the Ass 2 with any drones. Always from the app and even when I had to update on the road.

It has to be the phone or tablet or the connection???

I don't know why it's a mystery so easy to just do it from the app.

That's disappointing since that's arguably the biggest problem introduced in the previous release.

Never had an issue with NFZ or the gimbal leaning one way.

Could you elaborate more on the NFZ issue?

It seems most the NFZ issues are with MP flying in countries outside the US or am I wrong!!!

It was explained several times here.
The issue is, that you get a NFZ warning on weak GPS signal, no matter if you are near a NFZ or the next airport is miles away.
No big problem if you fly outdoors under normal conditions, but makes flying in rooms impossible, if there is a weak signal indoors,...and I am afraid that the MP could go straight down anywhere, if signal gets weak during flight, lets say, while flying below trees or in a canyon......

It's not as annoying as being blocked from starting motors due to bogus NFZ

Maybe they don't want you to fly indoors anymore...

After I read your message, I went outside and tried flying under thick trees that I have in the backyard and I did not have any problems with NFZ warning. I even went and stood under those trees cover and and flew around them and again with NO NFZ issue.

It seems again that most of the issues with NOT ABLE TO TAKE OFF is happening outside the US...

Just used 3 batteries and it was flawess, tried different modes and especially the FIXED WING, since am getting the Goggle, and it was also very stable.

Hallmark, I know it is simple and straight forward, but I don't know why so many people keep complaining that it is NOT working with them. So it must be the type of phone/tablet and or the connection they are using.

It didn't look like any major advancements. Just more 'gimbal optimization' changes which means hopefully they fixed the random roll and the random initialization while flying.

Let us know how ‘the goggle’ is when you get them.

I think you're correct. My android devices seem to struggle with update the FW - my apple devices work like a charm. Lately updating my firmware, I've been using the PC - it's much quicker.

Great hopefully, the more people will post their phone/tablet, connections and issues we can maybe figured out why some people can update with no issues and some people can't...

I received my mavic early December last year and have done every app and fw update including 700 with no problems. I've used my lg V20 phone but the last 2 fw updates on my ipad mini 4. I've been wondering if most of these fw update problem s are newer mavic s or also older ones.

I experienced this yesterday but didnt know it was a FW issue. first time flying indoors to get a shot coming out of a balcony and I receive the warning. Luckily it was the last shot I was going to get with that battery and I turned it off to switch them, so I guess by restarting I wouldnt have had any issues
