I see this topic mentioned briefly in various threads, but there doesn't seem to be a consistent answer.... some people swear it is hardware, others swear it is software.
When starting up my P2V+, I can connect to the wireless network and get the video feed for about 90 seconds (in any resolution). After that point, the video freezes and I'm unable to get anything back, even when I restart the phone, RC, P2V+, and extender. If I wait for an extended period of time, then I can repeat the cycle, get connected, get video, and lose it almost exactly 90 seconds later. From start to finish I do receive telemetry data and got the little dude to 500m without a drop in telemetry or control. It will take photos, adjust the gimbal, and record video. But just no live feed.
This is 3.06 firmware, 1.0.52 app version using a Samsung Galaxy S5 and the stock everything on the P2V+. I did do the foil mod today due to poor GPS reception (which worked very well, so thank you everybody) but the problem existed prior to the mod, and persisted after the mod... so it is clearly a problem that exists independent of the GPS and foil tape. I have uninstalled an reinstalled the app. I even went so far as to get the old APKs and download those apps... to no avail.
The reason I settled on the P2V+ was because of the built in FPV and camera control. So to not have this work is extremely demoralizing. I don't feel like having a 4 week turnaround with sending it back to DJI (assuming I ever hear back from them), but I don't want to drop 200 bucks on a new wireless receiver that was defective from the factory.
Has anyone else found a way to resolve this issue? Can I just put foil on a rotor blade and sacrifice a goat to the FPV gods?
