Sometime recently in the past few days DJI has disabled all older versions of DJI Go. I drove a half hour this morning to get into the countryside to do some Windsurfer tests.
When I turned on the bird and the remote DJI Go came up as a choice and I selected "Just Once" as usual.
THEN a Tip popped up telling me a new version is available either through Play Store or online. I could press either button, but there was no way around it. I ying-yanged around and gave up and drove home.
At home I tried a tablet, and the same thing.
I use an older version of DJI Go which has proven over many months to be safe and reliable. I have gone into my phone and blocked updates of apps to save it from an update such as the recent one which sent many birds returning home in the next county for that reason.
How did DJI get in and corrupt my app? I DO NOT allow things I own to do things behind my back without my knowledge. That is the reason a high zoot computer with Windows 10 went back to Best Buy after less than one day. Reading this forum for the last six or eight months, it is hard to argue with my game plan. Until recently I have flown a LOT without incident, by following my rules and using common sense. If I have something which works fine,. why discard it?
I have discovered over a lot of years that many of the new and improved enhancements I am begged to partake of are really enhancements for the enhancer, NOT me.
I will now block all access to the internet on a spare phone and sideload Go 2.8.1 or whatever it is I have squireled away and see if that works. This is sure to disable maps though.
Is this happening to everyone? And is there a simple solution?
