I've been resisting updates past 4.2.12.557 so far, but yesterday I had some major problems while flying from my bro's house in the Peak District.
I kept getting erratic aircraft and video disconnects at about 350m and had three separate automatic RTHs when trying to film an old mine chimney.
Admittedly, there's a very rural comms mast close by, so that might have been the problem, otherwise is very isolated, no WiFi clutter.
I even tried setting fake GPS FCC, which worked, but still getting disconnects at short range, 350-375m.
Go4 locked on me at one point, it just froze on screen, though the Nexus 7 was still working OK, and I FC'd Go4 and restarted it, whence it reconnected.
I had enough
battery to let the Spark hover while I restarted Go4, luckily.
At one point, Sparky was descending from an RTH to the landing point, and started to drift away when still 15m up at about 1m/s. I grabbed the sticks and brought it down manually but...
WTF?
So, today I let Go4 update from GPlay, and it's updated to 4.2.14.583. It's not offering any further updates even with a cache/memory clear.
I have all your APKs saved Gavie, what's the recommendation from you guys who're using 12 - 14 and 4.2.16, which is most stable?
All this messing about eats
batteries, and leaves less time for flying, as well as giving me some nasty scares.
Thanks for your continued attention to this OTG thread Gavie
Cheers.
