Anyone else experience this - I updated to latest firmware, all new smart shots, etc, etc- but when I try to FLY - the UP/DOWN controller controls the GIMBAL - and the GIMBAL trim does nothing!! This is serious BS. I had to JUMP to grab my Solo, and show my friend how to A+B+" to kill the motors. To add insult to injury, Solo itself didn't turn off, so when I got home, the battery still in the Solo was COOKING HOT. Seriously!? You can't build in a software failsafe that turns off the drone if it doesn't have spinning motors, and no connection to the controller??

It is possible I was still in selfie mode - I will verify tomorrow. My other point stands however, if you A+B+" it, and forget to power off the drone, it WILL NOT power itself off. And borderline cooks itself until the battery runs out.The left stick controls the camera in several smart shot modes. So what mode were you in?

Other than it crashing out of my reach, no. In which case, I would want it to remain on as long as possible for search and recovery purposes. Beyond that, I'm not blind, deaf, or oblivious to the word. It's very obvious when it is on. Not noticing it and leaving it on by accident is absurd.Is it not possible that you might not turn off your drone for some reason?
There's a word for that. Mishandling. I don't know what you do with your drone when it's not in flight, but if something is pushing on the power button, you have bigger problems. Sounds like a far fetched excuse for forgetting to turn it off.Or you swear you did, but it got knocked/bumped, and turned on?
Yes. See my first point. Typically, in the world of aviation (both full size and model), an aircraft turning itself off is a terrible idea.Is a failsafe bit of code to turn it off in the event of certain criteria so unfathomable in your elitist world you can't comprehend it?
The only way is, if your pressed RTH, then the controls may not work, until you press fly or other user controllable function.It took off, and went up - did the 'selfie' shot, but upon return, wouldn't land when bringing the drone down. How is that operator error?
My solo is stuck on update. Said it was finished and now just the LEDs are only glowing green and will not communicate with the solo:/
Simply try this: disconnect the battery inside the controller for a few seconds and then try again.I applied the update yesterday and got the exact same result. Tried to pair the solo-no change. Tried a factory reset- now nothing will pair together and the LEDs stay green the whole time. I have a help ticket submitted. If I get any answers I'll let you know.
