    Is anyone else experiencing frequent disconnections?

    I think there are likely several (similar) issues at play here. I've never had erratic flight characteristics, for example, but I do have lots of disconnects in remote areas (where interference is unlikely). I flew in a new location today. The app crashed again, but no disconnects at all. I'm...

    And, more importantly, neither can DJI blame your device. I assume you're still experiencing issues, correct? That's good that the Nexus 6P is listed. Maybe I'll try my 6P and see how that goes. Hopefully the Pixel appears on that list soon.

    Is anyone else experiencing frequent disconnections?

    I flew again today at my typical problematic location. The RC disconnected from the Mavic twice. The second time, the DJI GO app crashed completely at the exact same time. Both times I power cycled the RC to regain connection.

    FYI: an update to the Android DJI GO app was released today (version 3.1.0). Maybe it fixes something.

    This is also possible, but what jonwitte said is still true. You can fly with just a phone, or just the RC, or both together. But at this point I'd be terrified to fly with just my phone; it's bad enough how it is now.

    Is anyone else experiencing frequent disconnections?

    Yes, I feel the same way. I flew again last night and had no problems. I'm hoping the re-linking did something to help, but time will tell. I still haven't experienced any phone/RC disconnections since upgrading the firmware, but, again, I need to fly a lot more to be certain. I hope to this week.

    Is anyone else experiencing frequent disconnections?

    I've had a busy weekend and I've only been able to fly once since re-linking the RC, at a different location from where I've experienced connection problems. I didn't experience any issues, but that's hardly conclusive of any change. I hope to fly today if time allows; I'll report back later...

    Is anyone else experiencing frequent disconnections?

    I quickly contacted DJI support. Their advice was to try relinking the RC, which I will do. The next suggested step was RMA, with no option to open a ticket, send logs, etc. Hm.

    Is anyone else experiencing frequent disconnections?

    Yeah, I've not experienced the yawing issues (yet). I hate to ask what might seem like an obvious question, but I want to know that I'm following the best path. What is the best way to file a support ticket with DJI? I know their support can be horrible, so I just want to take the most direct...

    Is anyone else experiencing frequent disconnections?

    I updated to the latest firmware last night (v01.02.0900) and tried flying again today, in the same (remote) place that I've been having issues. This time, I didn't notice my phone disconnect from the RC, but the RC did disconnect from the aircraft, and the Mavic returned home. I had to restart...

    Is anyone else experiencing frequent disconnections?

    I definitely can relate to the scare and reluctance of flying until the problem is understood. Not having control of the aircraft at any surprise moment isn't a comfortable feeling, let alone the safety concern. You mentioned that you recently updated your Android device; could you let us know...

    Is anyone else experiencing frequent disconnections?

    Thanks! I hadn't seen this. I flew earlier today, but I wasn't prompted to update. That said, I didn't encounter any issues at all this time despite pushing it pretty hard. I'll see if I can update tonight and report back once I get a chance to test it out.

    What kind of case are you getting for your Mavic?

    I found a thread at DJI Forum discussing the "different versions" of the RC--one with removable sticks and one without. There are claims including photos that the controllers are indeed different and even look different. Looking at the photos, I disagree: all of the photos exactly resemble the...

    Is anyone else experiencing frequent disconnections?

    Got it--thanks! Nope, I'll give those things a try. I also remembered something else: the first time I encountered the problem, along with the "battery error," my device constantly warned about insufficient storage space for cached video, or something along those lines. I wondered if that was...
