Hello everyone I just recently purchased a phantom three standard I live in Phoenix Arizona in a urban neighborhood with lots of homes and maybe a lot of interference for sure but I still feel like I get weak range when I'm flying the quad I'll try to upload a couple videos but I feel like I only get like a couple blocks and it has to come home are supposed to come home is there anyway that I can do A further range without spending money on upgrading a controller or is the drone defective I'm new to this but I'm picking up pretty quick I just now starting to understand what their capabilities are thank you for everyone and their support greetings from Phoenix Arizona

This may help, but the ITElite DBS01 upgrade is the best solution for the Standard, IMHO.

Yes, Welcome to the Forum!
Up load some of you poor flight logs from your mobile device to this website,
https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/Upload/
Then we can see how poor you are.
Then share the link here.
If a P3S is working correctly, it will do what it says on the box in clean air.

Standard - IMU calibration
"I get a error calibration on my IMU but when I check it it's good no calibration needed and I calibrate before I fly and it's been saying error as soon as I get enough satellites it goes to ready to fly should I be alarmed or worried it never did that before does that mean the my calibration could be off cause that might be why I also don't feel like I get full range with my drone please help anyone with info or advice would be greatly appreciated thank you everyone for your support.."
as @Meta4 stated "It might help if you can explain what the error you see is or provide a screen shot."
We can't help much without error messages, and or flight logs.
If you still have time left for return or exchange with Target, we need to identify if you have a defective unit or not, and before you have a crash whether it was the units fault or yours.

I can't return it but I have square trade and I registered everything I just got a range extender today so I will try and see if that fixes the problem
I second Techcop's suggestion, I also got the SKYREAT extender, works great for how cheap it is.
Did you mean "IMU", Gabriel?
IMU: The Inertial Measurement Unit is a controller which combines an accelerometer and a gyro, with the purpose of helping with the orientation and stabilization of a quad.
