Same story different owner. Drone and App worked well for the first 5 short flights. Then I lost "connection" and never got it back. App still wants me to connect even though the wifi appears connected. My iPhone shows a check mark next to the wifi so it appears I'm connected to the Solo. App still says "Connect." (and no, I'm not worried about my phone saying "no internet connection." I realize there is no internet)
Things I've already done:
Spent hours reading this forum and other places looking for solution.
Sent a message to 3dr. No response (sounds like this is standard practice).
Factory Reset 3x
Pairing 3x
Deleted app 12x
"Forget this network" 12x
Battery out of controller 1x
Loaded app on different 3 different iPhones
Took the game out of the Nintendo and blew on it
Through salt over my shoulder
Apparently there is no real solution. Everyone just asks for help, keeps doing the above....and magically it might work at some point for no apparent reason. Clearly, 3dr haven't come up with a true solution yet. Also, since I did a "reset," and can't actually connect...I can't do the "First flight update." ugh.
May I add, how DUMB is it to not be able to direct connect to the controller with your phone/tablet. No USB communication or anything. Only HDMI out. REALLY?
I'm already considering returning this and buying a different drone. I have spent WAY more time trying to solve a problem than actually flying. It's too bad, because this is a cool drone. The controls/takeoff/flight are all very easy.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
