No idea. Sent them a request 2 weeks ago and the only reply is we are working on getting our response time down. We haven't forgotten about you.

I also ordered the V2 shield and I saw marked improvement on GPS signal hold and maintaining GPS lock.

Having read many posts regarding the shield, I ordered and installed the V2 shield from 3DR. I have not had a chance to fly because of windy conditions.

His response was well beyond "constructive criticism." In fact nothing was even germane to my question of GPS dropout. Mostly his comments were insulting at best with little or no help.

Firstly, I will not respond to the tenor of your insulting message. But I will make an overall comment to those who sit in their ivory towers of perfection. To pontificate from on high regarding ones education and experience in this hobby or any other, without knowing that person details how...

Thank you for the help. I was in manual, but I panic and was backwards on my orientation. I have open areas on my property, but numerous mature trees surrounding the open areas. The areas are less than a quarter of an acre.

What am I missing. I have 10 satellites and lost GPS. Solo went manual and flew into my house. Lost a couple of props but nothing serious. Is there an issue with the GPS board?

As the title indicates I had a minor crash as I was attempting an orbit around my workshop. I pinpointed my workshop, set the radius and executed. I went counter clockwise and the bird took off to the far right. I went into panic mode and shut down the motors. The solo tangled in a tree and...

You all convinced me to give Solex a whirl.

I had to send back my new solo from BB, because of a faulty GPS board. The customer service has been top notch including prepaid shipping to CA. While it will be a refurbished unit, I am still very happy I chose the solo.

Update 2: The samsung phone worked however, the GPS module in the drone is either bad or something. A constant alarm is going off and no gps aquired. I sent a video to the tech support. Looks like I have a dud unit. I understand things like this happen, but I feel a little snake bit

UPDATE: I was with 3DR tech support for an hour. Appears my LG G tab may have compatibility issues with the latest android version. I will be trying SWMBO's (she who must be obeyed) Samsung phone to see if it works. All the devices in my house and these two are the only "compatible" If...

Indeed I did let it download completely. I was prompted to connect to the solo wifi. When I connected, upon return I was prompted to download the update again. I am more tech savvy then you give me credit

Did that multiple times, when I switch back to the solo wifi, the download message is there again
