If I take off and fly away immediately I lose signal. If I hover close for a little while I end up keeping image signal through the flight. I read Papa Tita say here the way Magic Power works. DJI drops your wifi power on GPS initialization and then Magic Power runs a loop every 10 seconds to...

Nevermind... same problem happened on a second test flight. Any thoughts. Weird that it got better for a bit. Im starting to put my tin foil hat on....I think maybe my neighbor has a drone jammer.

good question. I never really pushed my distance limits previously but got as far as I went previously before it stopped working. I can't run an exact apples to apples (max distance) test but I'm much happier. What should I expect now. with a magic power modded P3S.

Magic Power 5.3 worked for me on my Phantom 3 Std . Latest firmware and Go versions. Only one test flight, but I got my range back and flew the entire battery without an app disconnect. I was never losing RC control. Just image and app connection. Wasn't working since April.

Just thought I'd let everyone know that the Magic Power Mod worked for me on the latest firmware and DJI Go app. Highly recommend if you are having P3S video and Go disconnect issues as I mentioned above. I suspect a forced firmware update in early 2017 changed a setting to lower the 2.4GHz signal.

Reading deeper into Rod's search. Has anyone had luck with the Magic Power Mod on the latest firmware and Go app on a P3S? I'm tempted to try that before I send it back to DJI.

Relink didn't fix the problem.

Thanks Rod. Yes. Telemetry drops out too. And I sent the remote to dji. All dji go app function locks up. I get "disconnected" status, lose image and It never reconnects. I can fly it home with the sticks but can't let it out of my sight. I have the amazon receipt but no record of the dji rep...

Thanks. I'll try it. And yes makes no sense but that's the kind of non intuitive solution I'm here for. I'll let you know how it goes. Fingers crossed...

Am I the only having video transmission problems? I see lots of "lost RC signal" for the P3S.

I have P3 Std. controlled with a Samsung Galaxy S5. From July to Dec 2016 I had an amazing experience. Great (advertised) video range. In March '17, I started having really bad video connection problems. Never had drone crash before or since. I believe, but can't prove it was a firmware...
