It is something like this...after logging in the WiFi password , the phantom device disappear from my phone screen. Seems like connection issue.

My friend have tried for 2 days and even consulted with the distributor but to no avail.

I think direct sent your phantom to DJI (service)
Make the RMA...

Not sure about other Android devices, but most of my P3S friends didn't have problems with their androids.

I heard need to calibrate IMU before first flight.

But they mentioned suggested 20~25C....how we found this temperature in malaysia without an A/C?...

Calibrate IMU right after you start up Phantom. But not after a flight or so. SOme resorted keeping their phantom inside refrigerator  rclxms.gif , but I normally placed mine inside a cool room before calibrating mine.
*
How long Standard IMU calibrate?
because I had no A/C room...so only night can be do that...

Now i warming up under 60 sec

Few minutes. Just make it you place it on a flat surface.

No need to care about room temperature?
will the warm up become longer after IMU because temp high?

I just calibrate my IMU at room temperature. Normally warm up will reduce significantly after calibrating. Don't forget to restart Phantom after calibration.

LoL...
I had calibrated my IMU yesterday, and just now 1 more time.
because I feel the yesterday calibration feel nothing different.... I wait my quad cooldown

Hi guys,

Finally got my hand on Advanced model plus 1 extra battery today.
Now studying very hard the manual and all the materials supplied.

Checked for any missing parts or dents but of course there are  none .
Hopefully can try out tomorrow.

Anyone can recommend a backpack costing less than RM200.00?

Thanks...
*
LoL....I didt study hard on manual.

Just make sure the prop didt wrong side.
compass calibrated, good gps signal... and you fly... icon_rolleyes.gif


I also looking for a backpack can put 1 full set phantom inside, 1 extra battery.
If can, extra bind 450mm set outside.... rclxm9.gif under 300 if possible

Just let Phantom hover for a while after you takeoff just to see if everything is good. no erratic behavior, stable gps, drifting etc. I made a rookie mistake when I bought my replacement P3A. Though it was super stable right from the factory. First flight, takeoff from a windy hill, compass error occured right after that and having a hard time bringing it close because gps was disable and flying in Atti.

After a while, try to fly in Atti mode. Will help a lot in an event of GPS related problems.
*
Total I got 2~3 times IMU, because seen nothing diff doh.gif
My quad are work well..but I only fly 30m height about 50m away. so far no serious drifting or not hover in place.

GPS work well to. max can get 13 gps at open area.

And I didt upgrade the firmware to avoid common P3s problem.



DO you experience DJI Naza Lite controller?
Because I got a DIY quad but got problem with it.

If no erratic behaviour occurs when hovering, IMU is good. No need to recalibrate unless after fw updates.

Sorry no experience with Naza, only APM, Naze and CC3D  tongue.gif

Fine. I fix the Naza-M Lite problem and it fly...working well.

But how to fix the P3S signal problem.

In straight line slow fly forward. the FPV screen(phone) losing signal。
How to solve. My Phantom still stock FW not yet upgrade any FW.

I will prefer not upgrade, because 9/10 at DJI forum meet upgraded lose more signal

Where do you fly? In crowded areas, p3s range could be affected by other wifi. And what device are u using as fpv?

I don know how to attach picture.
http://imgur.com/gallery/xRGIK

i stand right bottom right side of the camp.
when i fly forward, about 5meter from ground.
I fly to the dividing section still follow right side (not under)

That range about 25~35meter from my standing point.
And my device are almost losing connection like 80s antenna tv.
