The drone flies fine except the obstacle avoidance is disabled on the controler and remains disabled even in flight on both the smart controler and my phone. It is not on sport mode, and all the obvious settings are set to turn on OA. What could be is causing this? What are some trouble shooting steps. I also get backward sensor error messages.

I also tried to calibrate the sensors. I got through the front sensors fine, but when it went to do the calibration of the bottom sensors, the red and green boxes don't appear. I know the bottom sensors work because when I try to land drone in my hand it stops and moves up.

Is there a way to just go directly to calibration of the rear sensors or do I have to go through all the steps.

I attached screen shots of the red circle and the error messages

Any comments or trouble shooting ideas are welcome guys!

Ffirst off, the simple stuff,try another usb cord, and try installing assistant 2 again. But I would say you have a rear sensor going out. About 40 to 60 bucks. Not hard to replace.but I could be wrong.
 
Basically you have a few sensors that have failed for some reason.
Could even be the ribbon cable that connects them to the rest of the system.
I have seen those cables with a very small crack that renders them useless.

Any crash history?
