Phantom 3 Standard Fly Away. Where is it ?

[RodPad]

I think that the issue lies with here maps, nobody had known issues with Google maps.

Huh?

Hi,
my Update wit the DJI Support is this: they send me a picture with the exact location where i found the bird. I should search it there and write back. I am not allowed to copy anything from the mail they say the could cease the communication otherwise.

I'm I missing something?

OMG

Perhaps, although version 3.0.1 and 3.1.1 use Here maps and the device location on the map is correct for both those versions. Not so for 3.1.2.

It's not a map issue nor a GPS issue, it is a software issue.

Hey guys exactly how do you downgrade to 3.1.1 or 3.0.1? I have a galaxcy s5 as well and have the 3.1.2, now I'm freaking out. I haven't flown sense I did the upgrade but was going to tomorrow. Thank God I read this post before taking to the skys.

Very interesting. I guess this is possibly linked to the infamous Chinese GPS offset?:

I doubt it else the AC position would also display incorrectly.
Didn't matter what the setting was either.

There is a new version of the App updated yesterday. Did not test it yet. Anyone else maybe?

Your flight data shows that you were using DJI Go v 3.1.2. There have been many reports of fly-aways using that version of DJI Go. I have not read any reports that DJI has replaced any drones because of the problem.

Just to chime in on this, friend of mine had the seemingly exact same issue, this is his experience I've just posted in another thread, might be worth exploring OP...

Friend of mine had a P4, crashed it pretty much on the first day of flying, personally I felt it was his fault as I think he accidentally pressed the use current aircraft position as home point whilst in a panic and it crashed into a tree. But of course there has been a bug with that issue apparently so who knows.

"Either way he did not have DJI Care, but he phoned them up and a week later he was sent a brand new Phantom 4 without a controller, meaning all he had to do was buy a controller on eBay. He hasn't had to send his old one back, and the old one still works, there was just slight damage to the props and one of the motors which he's fixed.

So now he has two P4 drones, both fully functioning, 2 batteries in case he only decides to use one drone, for completely free of charge.

He is the luckiest guy I know.

I might try it with my TV. Send an email off to LG to say it pushed itself off the stand, hopefully they'll send me a £1000+ replacement free of charge and I won't have to send my old one back in, meaning I'll have two! /s"

Just read through the thread and I'm happy you got your drone back and very much a thumbs up to the guy's who were able to help you.
My thread was linked in a few pages back as this happened to me when I received my second P3S which was a brand new replacement for my first faulty one.

Basically sent it up and it flew fine, decided to test RTH and saw my drone turn and start flying off over tree's. Luckily in my situation I just cancelled RTH and took control back. That's when I looked at the botton and saw my distance as over 4000 feet :0

I'm still shocked that DJI let it go on for that long, I downloaded a older APK of the app and it works as it should. Scared to even upgrade now. . .

I just updated the dji go app on my android (version 3.1.2 (582))

It's a cold one here in Missouri today, but I'll try to get out there for a quick flight

Before flying, just run the APP without RC and drone (off) and see where the app locates you.
With the bad 3.1.2 (android), it locates you 1200m WNW from your real position.

Good idea. The dot indeed shows me at my current location.
