A thought about constant warning message

[Dazzauk]

Sorry for creating another thread about this but..

1. I really wanna get to the bottom of this and find a fix for all of us
2. I want this thread to stay on subject
3. I had a thought , and possibly need someone to test my theory

So, the warning message at hand is ( if you didn't already know lol)

"WARNING. STRONG INTERFERENCE DETECTED. BE CAREFULL WHEN FLYING LONG DISTANCES"

Now 1st thing is I believe this affects mostly IOS users, But I would like any android users to comment below if they are being affected. By being affected I mean constant messages throughout most flight's and throughout the entirety of the flight.

Second I have a theory to test but I cant test it myself because I don't have a second phone or device and I cant borrow one so,

my test is someone who is using a IOS device to fly with, and also experiencing these messages, could you find a way to fly your phantom with a Android device in the same locations to see if you still get the constant messages.

UPDATE:::

Just contacted a drone repair specialist in the U.K, the drone doctor and they said that the warning is created when the phantom detects electromagnetic interference caused by wi-fi, power lines, both above and below the ground, radio towers etc,

he said there is no known fix and that for the most part he said I shouldn't worry about it, however if the interference gets too bad the the failsafe wil be activated, (rth I guess) which is kinda good.

So I think ill carry on flying, just keeping an eye on it. Maybe some phantoms are more sensitive than others, which could actually be a good thing..

I got the message again yesterday. I shut everything off, restarted and it went away. Flew 2 battery packs with no troubles.

Ok that explains why it seems so easy for you to stop them.

Are they a regular thing for you bud?

Not every single flight. Maybe 1 out of 4.

Ok cool, leans even more towards my iOS theory.

I'm not sure how much help I can be since mine stopped, but I'm watching the thread... just in case.

And I'll still try to test with an Android, when I get a chance.

I am an IOS user and the only time I get that warning is when I'm in my house or under my carport. I use an iPhone 7 plus or an iPad 2 mini cell/wifi.

I have both iOS and a android. Get the message all the time on iOS. It tried android yet but will do at the weekend to test the theory
