I did the update according to the directions from Phantom Help and I thank him for the help. My android phone is updated but it is not DJI GO. I had read some people where getting increased range since the update. I took my P3 to the forest preserves and launched from a small hill. Now my P2 would get about 2,000 feet before losing signal. My P3 got to around 2,700 feet. I couldn't believe my P3 was still going at 3,000 feet and climbing. When it hit 1 mile I was ecstatic. But it kept on going. All the way to 10,000. Now I still had video and it was still going. I hate to let you all know this, but I became afraid. I stopped and hit RTH. Now the s**t hit the fan. I lost connection. Screen went blank and the readings disappeared. First thing I do is pull the USB plug and plug it back in, nothing. I do this a few times, nothing. Now about a minute has gone by and no anything. I try to close Pilot app, but the screen appears frozen. Great. Now 2 minutes have gone by. I just stand there looking at the sky and thinking, I'm not going to have my P3 for my trip to the Rocky Mountains at the end of this week. Bummed. Finally the screen responds and I'm able to kill Pilot app. I reboot it and the screen comes on and connects, with video! It says it is 2,00 feet away and returning. I bring it back and land it. I have just completed my longest flight successfully! Since there was a total disconnect, the flight log only shows the 1 trip and not the return. This update is pretty awesome!
