Forced GO 4 update in a week?

[Gary cato]

OK SO for the sake of testing

ios iphone 7 plus fully updated

FW both RC and AC om 0600

App version was latest before this update

i just opened her up connected up all with an internet connection enabled (home wi fi in my back garden)

I WAS NOT FORCED TO UPDATE AND I DID A TEN MINUTE FLIGHT AND ALL FLEW AS IT HAS ALWAYS FLOWN.

I have had the email and the pop up message.

i did the usual thing i always do i just pressed the x telling me there is new FW available

At no point was i asked to update my GO 4 APP

i have updates switched to manual

so no auto updating apps

but with an internet connection i was not even asked to update

(i am just one person maybe now someone else will do the same test and then we can cover this topic and put that part to bed)

With the OLD app it will not as (I hope) no such thing is built in the app itself BUT with a new version if one would update the app in might...

With all that's going on I'm not so sure getting into this end of having a camera that flies was such a wise move. There is even a thread where the government is looking at giving police permission to shoot you for flying now.

Wow. I think you have much bigger issues than DJI messing with your Mavic.

Like escaping from North Korea.

The new app update isn't there yet.Probably the reason it isn't requesting you to update yet.
I flew 2 batteries this morning with no issues,no restrictions and no request to update.

Can we you litchi instead of dji go app?

Surprised I don't see anything about this in the first two pages of this subforum...

Got a notice when I started GO 4 this morning that there will be an update in a week, and in order to continue using my Mavic to it's full capacity, I will need to log in again to my account at DJI and do something after I take this update. Otherwise, the performance of my Mavic will be limited.

Anyone know what this is about? Hopefully, finally, some solid engineering on the Android version the works well with Nougat? Something else?

I am going to block network connection from settings to dj app

 

[rigor]

Yes I guess you could say that. Since mine is doing everything I want it to on .400 I will not be taking this "forced" update. Im wondering if the goggles would have worked fine on older firmwares and DJI is just using "support for the goggles" as an excuse to get more users to update the firmware.

Im on 200 and the goggles work great you dont even need your phone or dji go everything you need to fly is on the goggles

They did not ask, there is a option to set profile picture ... now, that can ne anything

Well, it's Friday. App update was threatened to occur this week.
Anyone seen or tried it?
Is this the drone version of Y2K as everyone feared?

Android is out, iOS still waiting.....

 

[Trevlam]

Dji website shows something now for zones and how to unlock those zone or is that old news?

 

[dorubrad]

Isn't this "nice"

Strange is that on the website is still same assistant and same firmware history so this means the app might do all "the magic"

 

[dorubrad]

And already issues it seems (these pics are from the DJI forum)

 

[dorubrad]

iOS is out also but still no new firmware I think and the text shows "...to activate CURRENT firmware and software"

 

[dorubrad]

Ok, so for all ... I updated, I am on latest version (app and fw) ...

When I first started the new app it asked me to login again, after that at the top a message in blue showed that stated that I am on the latest version and I will not show me the notification anymore - the rest seems as normal until now

This type of info is taken from us by many many apps not just the DJI app....

I got curious on this thread so I disabled wifi on my phone (and no data enabled), and I launched DJI GO 4 and didn't get the notice, even after several minutes.

Then I enabled wifi, and I got the upgrade warning notice less than 5 second after launching the app again.

So, disabling wifi might protect from the "restricted mode" forced by DJI?

Yono

I'm on .400 did not update app. Turned on Wi-Fi to get maps everything runs fine. Doesn't make you do anything if not wanted.

 

[dorubrad]

There is no restricted mode - not yet at least but for anyone wanting to be sure they would just stick with current firmware and app
