Same here. I have not heard DJI even acknowledge its screw up, let alone offer or announce a fix or firmware rollback. I can't fly my Mavic Air 2 safely or with confidence any more. Like others, it cost me over $1,000!!!! If I lost it, I be DJI would not refund me or replace the drone. BAD BUSINESS. I MUST BE brought to DJI'S ATTENTION!!!! On YouTube, not one of the many well-known people has mentioned the problem either!!!!! WTF!!!!!! All I hear about is the Mini 2.
You can always roll back the firmware for the RC in this case with the DJI Assistant for Mavic, but if you've installed the new App on IOS, unless DJI removes it and moves it back to 1.1.1.0 I think it was or 1.1.9, or provides a way if the App Store allows it to have the previous version available, your stuck with 1.2.
Hi, large number of MM users in the UK are also reporting problems with the 1.2.0 version. picture freezes, weak connection at only 5 meters etc. Definitely the app.
It is a nice, clear, calm day here in the Sacramento area, so I decided to do a distance test. The MA2 went more than 3000' away, past where it had been losing signal in the past and performed flawlessly. Lotsa trees between me and the drone so I didn't try to go further. That is enough for what I like to use it for. Part of that is the many warnings coming in that I'm near an authorization zone. This is with the update on an iPhone 10X and, I assume, the associated firmware updates to the drone and/or controller. Once again the RTH brought it back to a pinpoint landing where it took off. I'm happy.
I have resolved most of the firmware/app issues--I think. I love the MA2, too!
So, to be a little more clear maybe... your running IOS, with 1.2.0 and the latest Firmware updates for your RC, and things appear t be operating normally? Great... did you post a message with what if anything you had to do to get it working, or did you just install the software and firmware and wha-la, it worked? Was 1101 or 1102 on the firmware, I think I've seen both numbers bandied about?
Glad you asked. Turns out that maybe not everything was updated. The "Flysafe Database" is 01.00.0340. Aircraft firmware is 01.00.0340. RC Firmware is 02.00.1101. When I clicked again on the "check for updates" for the Aircraft Firmware it said an update is available. It says my FlySafe Database is up to date. I am now ambivalent about updating the aircraft's firmware since it works so well now. As I posted earlier, after updating the Ap version to 1.2.0 I had to reset the camera to restore the camera video feedback onto my iPhone 10X. And had to reset some of the avoidance settings. I just now tried to update the firmware and it said the update failed. I'll try it again and report what, if anything, seemed to change.
OK, Changed the battery to a fresh one and the update went fine. Now the Aircraft Firmware says 01.00.0460. After the final, I hope, update I launched and took the MA 2 out past the previous test point and to just over 4,000 feet away before it lost signal (as I said earlier, lotsa trees between me and the drone) and it began returning to home. I stopped the RTH around 3500 ft once I was sure I had reliable control and flew it manually out another direction past where I had flown my previous test. Signal got spotty a little over 3000 feet away (even more trees!) so I just hit the RTH button and it came back and made another pinpoint landing where it was launched. Again, I'm very happy with the results after updating all I could find to update. Before launching I did have some probs with getting clearance in my authorization zone near the Sacramento Metro airport. So after multiple tries, I turned my phone, the controller and the MA 2 completely off and all was well on the restart. Gotta remember the rule about completely shutting things down and restarting after an update.
Hook up the phone to your controller and the drone. Hit the three little dots, ... in the upper corner which takes you to settings. Hit "about" and you will see all your versions. Click the "check for updates" to see if there are any for you.
I'm afraid I might have mislead you since my answer pertains to the iOS program and now I'm thinking you have asked about the Android version. Maybe they have the same menus in the DJI Fly program or maybe there are some differences. I don't know.
Well, that sounds promising, though it does seem like the results are inconsistent for others... still reluctant here to push the trigger on it all.. though if something did break, its not optimal flying weather up here in Minnesota these days. though it does seem like getting the AC firmware updated finally maybe part of the stability equation.
I followed your instructions on my Android and was able to see that the App version is 1.2.0. So would I be right in thinking I need to uninstall this and download an older version?
