You have to go into Android App settings menu on the tablet and find Solex in the list, then chose force close.

I had this issue before with my K1 shield, unfortunately I cannot recall how I fixed it. It wasn't complicated, probably just cycled the power on solo, GoPro as well as force close and reopen Solex.

It might help for others to know what version of iOS you have and what app you are using for Solo?

Sounds like a poor gps signal when solo was trying to hold in a stable position. I've experienced the same in my backyard where I have a 2 story house, a deck and trees enclosing a small area of grass. Solo will not hold in a stable position because it has a poor gps signal. It moves side to...

Remove the gimbal if you are not going to use it (it is easy to do). Never fly with an empty, unbalanced gimbal.

Sorry you're still battling this, friend. Flight logs will help us figure out what is happening with your Solo's strange behavior.

Do the rotors stop if you hold the throttle (typically the left stick) straight down?

You'd potentially get more thrust at the cost of battery charge used up more quickly. From the bit of searching I've done, triple blade props are better at quick response than a dual blade and less prone to noticeable vibration from the prop cutting through the air (more like a higher...

Something is off by just a tiny bit. I bought the solo used so it's possible it could have had a hard landing and something was altered (pure speculation). Next time I'm in there, I'll look closely at the mount points and boards. I bought the moongel for gimbal dampening but haven't needed it...

Yeah, I'm thinking it's possible the mounts for the board might be off slightly. It hasn't affected performance so I have not dug deeply into it.

Look at the second and fourth pictures I posted, you can clearly see where the cube makes contact with the shell. This wasn't a factory operation...

I put a new, stock cube in to test its operation. When I pulled the new cube out of the solo after the test flights it was also scuffed on the same corner. There was residual material in the form of fine, black powder inside the shell adjacent to the scuffed cube corner. I'm not making...

...the plot thickens…

Bahahaha It helps that I live at 5,100 ft and am surrounded by mountain peaks exceeding 11,000 ft. So basically when I do backyard tests, they are above 5,000 ft ASL. I envy those of you with that thick air!

So those are the US airspace regulations. Physics-wise: I've flown solo above 7,000 ft ASL. I think some have exceeded 10,000 ft ASL. I will be doing some flying in that neighborhood (+10,000 ft) later this year.
