Yes, 1.70 beta. I've been doing some long GS missions and want to get as much speed as possible.
Hi , how do you update the app to the latest version? and what is the latest version currently.
The app updates automatically if you did not disable it from doing so. The latest released version is 1.56, but if you are a beta tester then it is 1.70.
Goto here to read about the beta testing thing. https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!forum/dji-ultimate-flight
I see all the updates information but unfortunately no update yet solved this issues!
Is those issues solved yet?
The camera issue appears to have been resolved. You may notice a 5-second delay in the auto-shut off; this is to give a few seconds for the logs to finish so that videos using Dashware have everything, even the last second of the flight.
The random restarts have not been addressed, DJI has not yet found the issues.
Hi Kenargo,Is it possible to send on a long Waypoint flight and set to land somewhere else like 5 Miles or so away from take off point by changing home point also would Phantom auto land at that home point itself?Also when phantom reaches its last waypoint would it land there if you don't touch anything but just leave it? Thanks....
Also can you take phantom off to a safe height and then set it on waypoint flight just to clear any obstacles first? Thanks...
I 'll test it thanks.
If I use a non galaxy device (an lg,sony or vodafone branded mobiles) I will not have restarting issues?
Yes, it is possible to have the Phantom land at a remote location.
The app includes a feature that allows you to drag the home point icon to a new location using the map. There is a trick to getting the new home point to stick (because the Phantom resets it), you turn on the motors once after Phantom locks home, then it will stick.
Note: Be sure you have ample distance for home point limits in Assist app or the Phantom will fly to the home point on takeoff, thinking that it is out of range limits.
Next, you drag the home point icon to the location you want the Phantom to land, it can be as far away as you want. Technically, you don't need waypoint mission after this unless you want the Phantom to fly a mission on the way to the home point. You could either make RTH altitude sufficiently high as to fly over any obstacles OR raise to a safe altitude. Then, trigger RTH (on screen of with S1) and the Phantom will fly to the designated home point and land.
When flying a mission, the Phantom will either land (if you don't have RTH on low battery enabled) or return to home (if you do have it set).
If you are going to use the drag home point to a far off location I'd suggest testing close just to be sure you understand how it works and ideally have a tracker in case the Phantom auto-lands before reaching the final destination.
Happy flying and let me know; you may very well set a distance record using the drag home point!

Did I read that correctly, in the latest version (1.75) I will be able to use the Flytrex profile in Dashware?
Previously I had to manually link each gauge, using the Vision utility profile... I don't need to do that anymore?

Yes, or at least you should be able to. People testing using the Flytrex profiles have reported success but I myself have not tested the logging. I chose the Flytrex profile over others because they Flytrex has many more gauges (and users) so it made sense I think.
If you find issues please let me know and I'll address them but testers have reported all is well.
It is so difficult to say with certainty. Most issues are deep inside the DJI code that the app uses to interface with the Phantom and some devices work well while others have issues. Making it more interesting, something I found out today, is that even within a single model (like the Samsung Note4) there are around 15 variants and yes, some work well and have no issues while others don't work so well.
Android isn't really the best ecosystem to create apps I'm finding.
Take a look at this thread. I've been asking the users to list the devices that work (thread below) and ones that don'r.

Great, no fly day for me here... but as soon as I can, I'll give it a try and let you know of any issues.
Remember to increase your limits in the Assist App or the Phantom will take off as soon as you lift off because it will think you are outside your flight limits. I se mine to 10 miles as I believe that this is also a cause of fly aways.
I noticed this. Thought perhaps it was just the drone god smiling on my that day. Guess not. However, the icons turn invisible on the screen until the screen is pressed and then they can be seen faintly. Any possibility of making them more opaque so that they can easily be used?
