Litchi includes newest Dji firmware?

Forrest · Jul 3, 2017

litchi wants me to update. Down load seems to include Dji firmware.
Anyone know?

I've never had it prompt me for firmware download and I've been using Litchi exclusively for about a month. I'm using old firmware so if it wanted to upgrade my firmware I'm sure it would have prompted me. What makes you think the update includes a firmware for Mavic?

The new update seems to indicate that Dji firmware is included.
I'm probably reading it wrong, but I'm not taking the chance.

Lol. Litchi is an app that is for MANY types of drones, not just the Mavic. Why would Litchi who is unrelated to DJI push out DJI's updates? You really think Litchi Devs would go to the effort to determine the specific model of your drone, then push that specific update for your specific model through their own 3rd party app? How is the time effort it would take to do that even economical? It makes no sense, but you are obviously free to do whatever you want. Good luck

Just read the changelog and see no reference to anything about Firmwares

Directly from Google Play:

WHAT'S NEW
- added "Share" button in the Facebook live settings giving you the ability to share your live stream on a friend's timeline or in a Facebook group
- fixed issue where streaming with Facebook live using the Public or Friends privacy setting would instead appear as "Only me"
- fixed issue where for some devices the Facebook Page profiles would not display correctly after a tap on the user's profile picture in the Facebook Live settings

and Litchi will activate automatically outside of China, which it seems it is not doing.

From Litchi "Whats New" page: "users in China are required to activate Litchi by logging into their DJI account at least once every three months, this can now be done within Litchi. Outside of China, Litchi will automatically activate the application without requiring the user to log in within Litchi or DJI Go"

Interesting. Doesn't have anything to do with Firmware, but interesting nonetheless. I wonder what it is activating? My first guess would be the Litchi app's license itself, but I have no idea

Below is description of Litchi latest firmware taken from their website. One of the main benefits of this one is it removes the need to first load GO4 to do the authentication DJI is now requiring on FW .800 +. So now no need to fire up GO4 - just load Litchi and fly with restrictions lifted. Note this update is IOS only.

Outside of China, Litchi will automatically activate the application without requiring the user to log in within Litchi or DJI Go

That's from the May update for Android

dwashy21 · Jul 3, 2017

Regardless of what platform iOS or Android, neither says they are downloading firmwares. I'm done trying to convince people it doesn't even affect me lol. Literally just used up a whole battery flying with up-to date Litchi and no issues...
