Thank you SteveReno, I tried to re-pair but it won't respond. I attempted several times to no avail... and when I shut down the controller I don't get the "disconnection sound" as stated at the bottom of this page Pairing the Controller | 3DR | Drone & UAV Technology - I took the battery out...
I bought the solo and before I flew it, it required a preflight update. Cool, I figured as much... so I begin to update and I'm switching back and forth through wifi's as instructed by the app, and I get to the "Begin" transfering the update splash screen with the
Phone->Remote->Drone graphics...
