4 minutes... Close call!

Interesting... I can't speak directly to the P2. I fly a 3 Standard. It sounds like an interference issue or maybe an antenna connection isn't quite seated. Try to narrow down the exact conditions like location and distance. Are there other WiFi access points nearby? Also, GrammatonxXXxCleric...

To answer you first question... yes. I only use Lichi. Are you only having trouble with the DJI app? Your first post isn't clear.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I love what Lichi has done and the product they have. I've had great confidence in the app (running on a Galaxy S4) and hundreds of incident free way-point missions. Losing signal has occurred many times, especially in WiFi congested areas, but I've been able to...

Since this seems to be the place for Litchi glitches, here's my story... I haven't flown in a while but I have hundreds of miles and many, many successful Litchi way-point missions under my belt. Never had any issues with the way-point feature. Fire and forget, as they say. That particular...

After reading the other posts, I see this is not your unit. My error for not looking first. I doubt this is a mechanical issue if you were flying to 1000m prior to the update. Have you tried to re-bind the AC to your controller?

The single cable seen at the lower left in the photo is your 5.8GHz controller coax and fitting that runs to the external antenna on the front center your controller. The ufl fitting is not seated correctly. Carefully remove the white 'glue' and remove the cable from the board. Inspect the...

Nice photo. There is more than cell coverage going on with those towers. Looks like FM radio or other RF usage. Be that as it may, flying a mile or more away should not be an issue - unless they are between the drone and your controller. I'd stay clear of the RFI and of the guy wires you'll...

Absolutely. Often times those towers are used for other services as well, including microwave rx/tx repeater points. Be careful when you pop the shell apart. Take your time. I had a minor crash (completely my fault) and found the ribbon cable from the camera to the main board was pinched and...

You may have more going on under the shell. I'm only speculating on the causes but you had better check all your cable connections. GPS cable is on the top of the board along with the ufl connections for remote control 5.8GHz antennas. I'd do a thorough inspection inside and out. Make sure...

I have 34 cycles and it is at 92%. Sound about right?

Absolutely correct! I've been down this road before. Check to see the vendor is reputable and stay away from the overseas deal that no other is even close to.

Do your updates on your device, controller and bird. Once they are all up to date, do your calibrations. Necessary? Maybe not but it never hurts. Checking the settings on your device is a must. The RTH height and camera settings are just a couple that come to mind, but check everything. The...

Oh, now I get it.... Not sure myself. Looking...
