It was the latest one that came out a week or two back. I'll give you the number later today when I recalibrate everything.

Referring to the DJI recalibration fix you listed above. If that doesn't work I'll either reflash or downgrade.

Tried reformatting and calibrating everything with same results. Any luck with downgrading. Do you know the firmware number?

Anyone getting less than 100 feet ~ 30 meters range without a steel plate between themselves and the drone has defective equipment. Return it and get it repaired or replaced. These things should be good for hundreds of meters even with heavy interference.
It is likely an antenna was cut or disconnected, often through assembly error and no fault of the user. Operating a radio transmitter without an antenna will burn up the internal radio circuits, so plugging the antenna back in after the fact will not correct the problem.

Did this and still have signal loss and video lag. The Go4 app version is 4.0.3. I'm going to downgrade to 4.0.2 and see what happens.

Hey Mandy
1. Don't bother with the signal booster. No worky for me.
2. I live in a top 10 city in USA. In my backyard, I get about 1,000 ft. At a nearby track field, I got 2,500 ft.
I have to drive to the beach to get 5,000+ ft. Over water...
Haven't had the big balls to go farther...

Hey Mandy,
It's hard for us to guess without more data.
Like I said, I get weak signal warnings around 1,000 ft. It's a dense residential area with tons of WiFi at 2.4 Ghz. And when the Mavic is 1,000 ft away, the signal is going thru multiple houses.
The best thing for you to do is drive some distance where you're in an open area.
If you only get 1,000 ft. there, you got a mad bird.

@mandyjr your signal strength will vary greatly due to local interference and line of sight. If you don't have direct line of sight (the Mavic goes behind a building or trees) then you can expect the signal to drop quite quickly. You will also get better results by flying over open water as the signal can bounce off the water back up at the Mavic, increasing its strength.
You should test your drone out in different locations before doing any further recalibrating. Sometime recalibrating can do more harm than good (if you calibrate incorrectly).

Hey guys went out today to an open area. I went out 8400ft never even lost a bar. I guess it's just local interference
