Strongly recommended?

No one on that DJI Forum really has any true results!
I updated within 18 minutes for main FWU, then 3 minutes per battery.
Ok, now to fly and see what happens, anyone tested yet?

Just remember to perform the update with every single battery, Otherwise it will prompt you with the Inconsistent Firmware Found message.

Absolutely. If you have multiple batteries, they must be updated with this FW.

I haven't been able to update. It always gives me an error saying aircraft disconnected? Anybody else having this issue?

No problems with DJI Assistant 2

Oooh, I use Linux so I've been doing it with DJI GO 4 app itself. Hmmmm, I gotta get a PC to edit 4K anyways.....

Holy wow really? Good to know. Thanks!
A annoying thing happened with me the other day, I flew for 15 minutes and landed to change battery. After changing the battery the app started asking for activation of the bird. Since I was in the mountains there was no network coverage and so could not activate it. Anyone had this problem? Came home, and it also asked for fw update and activation again.

I’m assuming this FW update has to be applied to every single battery(not because update log shows something like that... is not even mentioned) but because I did with one battery, and restarted the aircraft. Turned off, installed a different battery and showed me the Inconsistent Firmware Found message. And that happened with my 3 spares. So, that’s why I’m assuming has to be applied to every single one.

Also, I’m running DJI Go 4 App ver. 4.2.8.

Yes, it install new FW batteries too, so there is a need a swap batteries.

I think it’s basically because it mentions something about Intelligent Flight Battery firmware could not be updated when functioning abnormally.

 

[PavleAU]

Updated and tested without issue. Have flown 2 batteries so far (but updated all of them).

I did need to change a few settings after update: RTH height & controller sensitivity but all camera settings remained.

Broke my speed record as well, went 69.2km/h in sport mode @ 50m

I can't see a new version for android in the play store? Strange

4.2.6 is the current Android version of DJI GO. You can find it in the Google Play store here.

 

[Whydoicrashsomuch]

I'm running that version, but when I read the first post it said android v4.2.8? Is the latest?

 

[Verizondrone28]

Updated with no problems yesterday but had some drifting going on when flying. Had my stick straight on and it started going to the right. It would only stop if I overcorrected. Calibrated the IMU and will test again today. I saw others in some DJI Facebook groups experiencing the same thing.
