I am another of the apparently many people who are having real issues with the Mavic Pro after this update.
I have had the drone for about 6 months now and only started having some issues in the last few weeks - and especially now with the 4.1.18 update a couple of days ago.
I have 2 smartphones that I can use with the drone - both Android systems. One is a HTC Desire 626 and the other one is a Sony Xperia z1. I had dedicated the Sony to the drone a couple of months ago, but I had not issues with the drone at all till the latest firmware updates.
Now neither of the smartphones will work with the drone. The issues are severe tearing of images on the screen, 6-10 second delay in response to taking a photo, loss of signal warnings when I am no more than 5 metres away and significant overheating of the drone and the smartphones. I did resort at one point to tying an icepack to the underside of the smartphone to keep it cool and I managed to fly for a full battery charge without any issues!! The Sony specs indicate an operating temperature of up to 45ºC and this temperature is clearly being exceeded - which is a significant element in this problem.
The video and photographic images are all ok in the microSD card in the drone so the corruption is occurring either in data transfer or within the software that is sitting in the smartphone.
The simplest fix that I can see is to have access to older firmware versions that did not give so many people problems like the latest version is doing. Is there any way of getting this older software from DJI?
