The last time I went out to fly my Phantom 3 Advanced, the remote controller started constantly beeping when I powered it up. I shut it down and tried again but the beeping continued. I noticed in the app that it was showing a red triangle with an exclamation point indicating that my firmware needed upgrading. It said my RC firmware needed upgraded and prompted me to go ahead with that since my iPad was connected to the internet by wifi. I went ahead with the upgrade hoping to stop the beeping. The upgrade was successful, but the beeping continued.
Then I discovered that if I moved the right stick, the beeping quit. Everything else indicated it was safe to fly so I did. It flew okay but I noticed a couple of things I hadn't noticed before. First, I kept getting an indication that the video signal was weak, then it would go away. The aircraft was directly above me just under 400 feet. I re-positioned the antennas on the RC to be more horizontal, but it still did it intermittently. The video itself never wavered. Secondly, after initiating the return to home function, while it was descending I tried to yaw the aircraft to look at different things on the ground on the way down and it kept fighting me, trying to yaw back to where it was. I completed the flight normally otherwise.
Later on I looked at the app again and noticed that it said the RC needed calibrated. I had never needed to do this before. I found the calibration and completed it successfully and the beeping stopped. Wish I had done this to begin with before upgrading the RC firmware.
The app is still indicating that the aircraft and camera firmware versions need upgrading.
Anyway, I was wondering if there's a way to downgrade the RC firmware now back to what it was before. I was thinking of trying to do the 1.4.10 upgrade again like I had to when I first got it using the SD card, hoping it might put the RC back to that level, but I doubt that it will and don't want to risk causing even worse problems. Or, I may have to consider upgrading the aircraft to version 1.5.0030, but I really don't want to do that either. I'll have to fly it some more to see how it behaves before making those decisions.
In the meantime, hopefully someone has some helpful advice.
Current firmware versions are now:
App 2.4.2
Aircraft 1.4.10
RC 1.5.70
