I saw another link yesterday that had a firmware version .0084. Would that one be LATER than this one?

I loaded up 1.7.0084 as well this past weekend and I didn't have to relink the bird and RC as everything worked fine. I'm hoping the final version will be out soon as I'm not 100% comfortable flying on a BETA but so far it seems ok.
And have you any mod on phantom? Cause i bought with an argtek, and max 100 meter i can fly...

I leave this Friday for a trip and wont have access to wifi to download the beta firmware. I really need range but I'm not sure about trying the beta, especially since I will be flying over irrecoverable terrain.
I can't believe you guys are that brave to try a beta from DJI knowing their track record with FW updates.
Can't see interference being a issue between the drone and RC with them sitting right next to each other.

With the terrible range issues we've all been having and lack of DJI support/admitting there's a problem, you turn to desperation. They wouldn't put a beta out there that is totally unsafe surely?? It's been fantastic for me

Don't know if this suggestion will help or not, but I also had trouble linking a r/c and bird just using the r/c toggle method. Failed to link 2 or 3 attempts. Then I tried linking using the GoApp and it linked up almost instantly. No issues since. Hope this may help Mike.

Andy Roberts,
My Drone is sending back to DJI repair.
The reason is stress cracks around the motors ....
I had not noticed them,
But DJI responded within one day
, the next day I had an RMA and a UPS return.Today, the Drone is delivered to DJI Netherland for repair.
I hope I have him back soon,
I'll keep you informed..
Btw, this is my second one, 23 day's old. the first one is sending back after 6 days with Altitude en distance problems.....
I'm getting sick off it. and it real pissed me off.
if I had known this all, i had never buy a drone from DJI.

I did 1.8.7.8....84 and went out to try but still no luck only like 20 meters up and 200 away. But i did not do any IMU calibration or nothing. All i did file on sd card and then into the bird and about 5 minutes later app said update complete. App says 2.8.3 and bird 1.6.8+

Yeah, I did that a few times. The light on the controller turns green and I still see the picture, DJI GO says "RC Signal Lost."
I started looking into this loss of distance issue yesterday and have followed the threads that obviously show the firmware issue is the problem. I had to fly today so I installed the 1.07.0084.bin update this morning. The result is that I had intermittent connectivity to the flight controller. I rebinded the controller but that didn't help. I can see the camera imagery but the flight controller just says "RC Signal Lost." So I downgraded to 0082.bin and tried again. Same thing. Sometimes I get a message that there is a lot of interference in my area and I should move away from metal objects. Alas I tried it in several locations about 30 miles apart. I'm lost with a bird that won't fly. Any advice?

As an update: I used the firmware update method of putting the .bin file on the SD card and restarting the aircraft. This seemed to work and I got the text file saying it was a success. However, DJI tech support just told me that the P3 Standard must update firmware via the Go app, not by the SD card. When I did it this way, I had success. Although I am flying again, I still have my distance issue until fix is released. Hope that helps someone else out there!
