DJI Fly App Update 1.14.2: Countless Problems...

[@charlyray]

More help than anybody else... Thanks a lote from Caracas

[@WeretheRoberts]

Awesome!!! Thank you so much for watching and for the comment. We really appreciate your support and kind words. Usually we leave people asking more questions than they had to begin with. Hahaha

[@Darknynja2]

I like that you’re still enjoying your older drones. I recently decided to fly my old DJI Spark and it performed flawlessly just like it always did. Keep making the content you enjoy making. I for one enjoy watching your antics and I’m glad I’m not the only one that talks to his drones. 😅

[@WeretheRoberts]

lol yea I have to enjoy the old drones because wife won’t sign off on anything new for a while. Maybe once I retire and am around more she’ll encourage me to fly more and maybe upgrade to an air 3s or something. Haha. Honestly though one thing I’m glad about so far is these drones haven’t talked back too much. Lol

[@fredmunson8603]

16 more days, that is great Kevin. Always love your drone tests.

[@WeretheRoberts]

Hahaha. 10 days now. But who’s counting? lol. Thanks as always, Fred. God bless, buddy

[@oldmanronerickson2221]

Buddy, I like all your videos. I haven't updated mine for 2 years! I haven't even flown this year. I've just been busy. I know that's no excuse, but it's all I have.😂 thanks for a great video. We love retirement and our motorhome. Being a snowbird is fun. But when we traveled across America twice, it was a lot more fun. I'm just getting to the point where driving is boring. And warm weather is much more enjoyable. North in the summer South in the winter. This summer, we had colder weather in Washington State.

[@WeretheRoberts]

lol Ron, you’ve done it right by not updating. What update are you using? We still have Jack on the 1.4.8 update and he still works perfectly. lol I’m glad you’re enjoying Rv life still and I’m more than ready to join you for a trip. Even though you’re just going north to south for the seasons, you’re still considered a nomad. 😃

[@oldmanronerickson2221]

@WeretheRoberts I've been a nomad my whole life. Every job I've had as an Ironworker was out of town. I don't know what update my mini 2 is on, but it's been 3 years since I updated him. We went to Florida a few years ago. I wish we could have seen you, brother.

[@WeretheRoberts]

We’ll meet in person eventually, Ron!!!! If not we’ll meet in Heaven. That’ll be awesome!

[@clobbert]

Hi Kevin, keep talking to the drones I think it’s great, love you videos

[@WeretheRoberts]

Hahaha. I think there’s only 2 types of drone pilots. Those who admit they talk to their drones and those who lie about it. lol.

[@mikefox3542]

I'm glad to see that you're still enjoying your Mini 2's Kevin! I'm still flying mine from time to time as well. Even though my M2EA is what I fly the most and the M30T is my most capable platform, I'm still quite impressed with these small buggers... Therye pretty useful for a quick and discrete daylight closeup of some subjects! 😄

[@WeretheRoberts]

Heck yea man! The Mini 2 remains to be my favorite drone and it was good to get Jack out of the box for a short flight. M30T? That sucker would be awesome?

Oh yes they are very informative. I think i ll wait updating my drone. I think you might be right that the update is for their new drone. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@shaunthedrone]

Another great video Kev and interesting your Mini 2 (Rose) is breaking the speed limit not as fast as my Air 3 85mph - thanks for the mention great hand catch

[@Dan23_7]

Have DJI got a wind speed sensor ? So if they’re flying into the wind the sensor might sense a faster flight speed.

[@WeretheRoberts]

Hahaha. Yea you won. We are both fortunate they didn’t reach 88 mph, eh? Otherwise they may have met Marty McFly. lol.

[@ptaylor5014]

Very informative and i love watching them 👍, i have stuck with flyapp version 1.13.2 with my Mini 3, i see no need to update as everything works fine as it is.

[@WeretheRoberts]

Awesome! Thanks so much for your comment, buddy. I totally agree with you. If it works, leave it alone. We have another mini 2 we call Jack that’s still on the 1.4.8 update from 2021 and it still flies perfect. Matter of fact, he’ll be making an appearance on a special video for Wednesday. Hopefully we’ll get back on our normal schedule next week. We’ve had some reviews to do and it always messes us up.

[@grossi46]

Dam,78mph. Rose was definitely speeding along 😂. Best of luck with your retirement buddy 👍

Hey brother another great video! Well done, this update was definately for the near and has put in a few glitches with the speed etc! That flickering on the homepoint updated is definitely a glitch too , I updated mine and it was jumping like that too, I thought I had a dodgy connection or something but now I know it’s to do with the update! So your videos are informative and so help brother! Dji need to sort it out! Have a great weekend! 👌🙂👍

[@WeretheRoberts]

lol I thought I had a bad connection, too. That was weird but after it did it a few times I started thinking maybe there’s something more to it. I’m glad it didn’t mess with the flight and it just seems to be a glitch. I’m more glad others are having the same problem. Hahaha. Thanks for watching as always, brother. Have a great week!

[@Drone.vision]

@@WeretheRobertshaha it’s proper strange isn’t it but like you say lucky it doesn’t affect the flight, it’s still the same now, hopefully they will sort it in the next update, one for you to check for us there for sure! Great videos as always brother , have a great week , nearly retired now ! 👏👏👌👍

[@philipriding]

I haven’t done any updates as yet. It’s all working as it should so I don’t want to spoil things. What is the little black box thing on top of the drone, what is it’s function ?

[@WeretheRoberts]

Definitely a wise decision. Lol. I haven’t flown the mini 2 since this update because I don’t wanna take a chance of it getting confused with those speeds listed. Really weird. I’ve been “patiently” waiting on another update to fix this but I guess DJI is taking their time for once. Also, that’s a remote ID module on top of the drone. It’s something the FAA has started requiring so they can track drones in flight. It’s like a digital license late for the drone.

[@martinh5516]

Great vid sir, glad I’m not the only one having problems with the homepoint updated glitch, driving me mad, I also lose connection suddenly even though the drone is close to me😢 never had none of this trouble before Dji fly latest update, sure hope they sort this out soon

[@WeretheRoberts]

Dang that sucks. I’ve not lost connection at all that I’ve noticed so my problem just seems to be a little annoying. I’m sure there’ll be an update soon. I bet they release it just in time for us to do another update video. Hahaha

Hi Kevin! Clean the sensors! Especially the down sensors. Pus, be aware of surrounding power lines (magnetic field interference). Dwight had some tech issues last time. Cheers, Brendan.

[@WeretheRoberts]

I’ve cleaned the sensors! Lol. I was flying one of the “mini. Killer” drones the other day and hit return home. I didn’t realize it but the RTH altitude was set to 30 feet. Next thing I knew, the drone started lowering to 30 feet from the 70 feet height it was already at. Weirdest thing I’ve seen so far. I had no idea why it was lowering altitude until later but I watched it on the screen recording flying directly toward the power lines. Somehow it missed them and then headed towards the trees. All I could say was, “crap!!!” lol. Somehow I pulled up and missed the trees but the whole way home it wanted to lower its altitude. That was crazy. Anyway, story over. Hahaha. Thanks for watching and for the tips, brother. God bless!

[@michidel6740]

Another good video. I like very much that you put names to your drones. My favorite, Rose. The others are OK, but Rose is the oldest (don't tell her) and with more experience. Your videos are OK, are natural, enjoyable, short but also interesting. Maybe too many each time a new update is done, but keep doing them. God bless you all.

[@WeretheRoberts]

Hahahaha. I won’t tell Rose, man. Actually she’s #2 but we haven’t flown our oldest one in a really long time. His names Jack. As a matter of fact though, we have a video coming out Wednesday that we fly Jack. Coincidence I reckon. lol.

[@DronePH-2024]

Nice place brother still mini 2 here hope they will fix everything like before ❤❤❤

[@WeretheRoberts]

lol yea man I reckon this update wasn’t really good for anyone, eh? They pushed it out way too fast

lol you’ve been first a few times if I remember right. Thanks for watching as always, brother. I’ve had that 90 degree RTH thing with both of our Mini 2 drones ever since I can remember.

[@myboringadventures]

With those speeds, you should drag race Rose and Jack...lol. I saw, on a Facebook group, some folks were getting glitches with the app update, others weren't. DJI must have rushed updates, with the NEO release. Good Luck on the upcoming retirement!

[@WeretheRoberts]

Hahaha. Rose would probably win because Jack is still on the 1.4.8 update. He’s still working perfect though. We have a video coming out Wednesday where we fly with Jack. He’s been perfect since day 1. There were definitely a lot of glitches with this new update. I wish they’d figured them out before rushing the uodate like you said. Heck yea! Retirement in 10 days. Lol

[@gama45]

Well, that was interesting, informative and fun, 78 mph, eh? lol There are definitly some glitches there. Hopfully, DJI will fix them soon. Martha was also studdering when she announced the home point was set. You got some beautiful ocean footage there too! And no, I don't think it's weird that you tame your drones, or talk to them. I think it's cool. 😎

[@WeretheRoberts]

lol yea man 78 was a bit weird. I was saying I’m glad she didn’t make it to 88 mph. She may have found Marty McFly or Doc! Haha. A lot of people are saying they have the same glitches with their mini 2, also so hopefully DJI gets it sorted out. Oh, Kristi said I’m weird for talking to them.

Which RC controller were you using, the RC N1 or RC N2 or RC N3 with the updated fly app for the mini 2? Compatibility: The RC-N2 is compatible with the latest DJI drones, while the RC-N1 supports a broader range of older models.

[@WeretheRoberts]

Hey there and thanks for watching. I’m using the RCN1 with the mini 2 on this video. I do have the RC2 controller for the Mini 4 pro but I haven’t updated that drone and controller yet. I may skip it! lol

[@TheDroneRanger215]

Your videos are very informative Kevin. But for some reason I don't know why I got the urge to eat bacon. Maybe it's because the little piggy ended up at the butcher. LOL

[@WeretheRoberts]

Hahahaha. Educational and appetizing. That’s a weird video combo. I had bacon for breakfast this morning. Lol

[@WindowViewHarmony]

Interesting! So first, spherical panos look great if you have a program on your computer like "Spherical Viewer." DJI drones merge panos great! Regarding the fly app ... just updated an RC2 then flew M4Pro and most all settings were fine but surprised that the C1 C2 buttons needed to be reset. The update blocked out the former settings (so need to really check things). Did not see any drone speed display issues but then again you always have funny curve balls thrown at you! LOL! 😂

[@WeretheRoberts]

Oh that’s a cool tip for spherical panos. I’ve had these drones for a long time and have yet to really do much with the special photo stuff. You’re right about those curve balls. lol. It seems like they save this stuff for We’re the Roberts. Hahaha. I haven’t updated the Mini 4 pro yet and I’m not so sure I want to from some of the videos I’ve seen out there. Seems like everyone is having some sort of issue or 2. lol

[@seveneightvett]

I just flew my mini2 after the update and I am getting the home point notification 3 times as well.

[@WeretheRoberts]

lol that’s not surprising. Irritating but not surprising, eh? I’ve seen several comments so far saying the same thing. I think DJI pushed this update out way too fast. Maybe they’ll have another update soon. Hahaha.

[@187Killerbee]

There was an issue with the Mini 2 that 1.14.2 took care of. The Fly app would keep crashing constantly if the histogram was active.

[@WeretheRoberts]

Oh wow I hadn’t seen that issue before. I don’t have the histogram activated on Rose so I never would’ve thought to look at it. I guess it’s good they fixed it. Even though there’s more issues now. Hahaha. I’m sure they’ll get it all sorted out soon though, eh?

When Rose keeps repeating herself it is because she thinks that you are not paying attention Kevin. Perhaps if you acknowledge what she tells you she will not repeat herself.

[@djcase21]

I went to my local AMA field yesterday with my Air2S and two iPad Pros, one on 1.14.2 and the other on 1.12.3. This iPad Pro with the older version showed the expected (presumably) accurate speeds. The other with the new version of Fly showed 140 mph in sport mode! It does make one wonder what else is messed up.

[@RobMilanowski]

@@djcase21 agree. And now I’ve seen it on a couple videos where the miles per hour is way off. You would think that would be a somewhat simple thing to make sure you had correct.

[@WeretheRoberts]

Yea I’ve seen it on several videos now, too. Simple fix no doubt.

[@rreiter]

One thing I noticed on my Air-2 is that earlier saved hyperlapse "waypoint" missions now load with a "20s" interval instead of "2s", giving an immediate message that there is not enough battery. Changing interval back to 2s and resaving fixes it.

[@cre8tivity06]

I fly the Air2S. Last Monday I noticed I had an update available on my RC Pro for the Fly App. It was version 1.14.1. After downloading it, the Fly app kept crashing. As soon as I opened the app it would crash. I spent all week going back and forth with DJI Tech support as they said I was the first person bringing it to their attention that there was an issue. By Thursday they were prepared to send me a label so I could send the RC Pro to them after everything I was told to do did not work. On Friday I noticed a new FW was available. So I downloaded version 1.14.2 and go figure that one solved my issue. The Fly app no longer crashes and I ended up flying all weekend.

[@WeretheRoberts]

Not sure if this is connected or not but i tried to setup a Mini 2Se this week and couldnt get my DJI Fly app to open or work. looking around online it appears this may have to do with the phone upgrading its software and the app not liking it. in my case its a Google Pixel 8. The app was working a while ago but now wasnt. I tried reloading and it wouldnt reload. I found a chat group where this was acknowledged by DJI and they were working on it.

[@WeretheRoberts]

Awesome questions and thanks so much for watching. From what I’ve seen with the 1.14.2 update, all of those things you mentioned are bugs a lot of us are experiencing. None of them mess with the flight or the functions of the drone which is good so it’s just more of an annoyance. They had a new update come out today 1.15.0 to introduce the Air 3S but I haven’t updated yet. I watched a couple videos on the update though and it sees stable enough to upgrade. That could fix all of your problems but then again it could create some new ones. lol. These updates are never perfect so it’s always a hit and miss type thing. I usually just cross my fingers and hope for the best. lol. I’m planning on updating and making a video for the Mini 2 next week or so and am hoping it fixes my problems, too. We’ll see!!!

[@WeretheRoberts]

lol. There’s an Amazon link in the description. It’s worth its weight in gold is all I can say. Thanks for watching and commenting. God bless!

[@stevedawson3863]

You definitely had some issues with the new update??

[@WeretheRoberts]

I’d agree, man. This update was full of issues. I’m just glad they’re all minor and didn’t affect the controls. I’d hate to lose Rose because of DJI pushing an update out too quick. They need to do better, eh?

[@fly-9262]

I haven't been able to get this app to work on my phone for a few weeks?

[@WeretheRoberts]

I’ve heard that complaint a lot lately. If you’re using an android that could be the issue. There are some android devices that have been having a lot of problems and even some aren’t supported by the fly app anymore. Which is crazy to me me.

[@bobwhitewo3b]

How is Rose getting along with her RID? She hasn't complained about carrying the extra weight has she?

[@WeretheRoberts]

lol so far so good. None of our drones have seemed to have any problems directly related to the RID modules. People keep commenting that the modules are placed directly above the gps receivers but I keep telling them it doesn’t seem to matter because I’m still getting over 25 satellites with each flight. I think most of my problems are self induced or glitches. At least that’s that I’m telling myself. Hahaha

[@dwightdoane6762]

Rose is what model drone ?

[@WeretheRoberts]

Rose is a Mini 2. We have another mini 2 we called Jack and he’s on an old fly app from 2021 (1.4.8). He’s still flying slow. Haha

[@anasmahmoudali281]

Bro I have the same problem with my mini 2 when updating home point.

[@WeretheRoberts]

Dang that sucks. There’s been several people saying the same thing. Hopefully they get it squared away soon but fortunately it’s just annoying and doesn’t seem to affect the flight, eh?

[@your_average_joe5781]

The recent passing of a bill to ban all DJI drones is just another sad example of our freedoms being taken away here in the states. 😕

[@WeretheRoberts]

Couldn’t agree more, man. They grasped at straws with their logic and they worked. All you gotta do is mention national security and people are scared to death.

[@samholdsworth420]

Skydio is the major lobbier for the ban. Skydio drones SUCK. The only way to compete is to eliminate the competition

​@@WeretheRobertsWell it is a Chinese owned brand so inturn is owned and controlled by the CCP. I just don't get why there aren't a pile of other brands why/how does China have the market share in this tech industry

[@nobleeagle7661]

​@@WeretheRobertshow about the 10k satellites in space? Who's paranoid now? And they're worried about a drone!

[@philipriding]

Same in the UK but I’m still flying mine, sod them.

[@gbkiller007]

I dont think the drone likes your RID module. Its right over your GPS module and depending on the trajectory of the triangulation of satellites you will get different behaviours at different locations. Minis arent great with payloads and I have had similar anomalies with an Air 2 using a go pro attached which is better with payloads.

[@WeretheRoberts]

lol that’s definitely possible. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. God bless!

[@norsehabanero2920]

Could that be because of the wind, fast speed

[@WeretheRoberts]

Hey man! Thanks for watching as always. I don’t think it’s because of the wind because the gusts that day were pretty low. I’m not sure why it’s reading that way, but even Nobbygreen told me his mini 2 did the same thing. It’s gotta be a glitch of some sort. I’m sure they’ll get it sorted out soon and just in time for another update video. Hahaha.

[@davidwoods6391]

Do u have 107, if so, what study guide did u use?

[@WeretheRoberts]

Hey again, buddy. Yea I got the 107 back in March and honestly it wasn’t as bad as I anticipated. I used Drone Launch Academy to study and it worked out really well. If I can give any advice, I would say schedule your test first then start studying hard for it for about 2 or 3 weeks. I initially just started studying in my spare time with no real date to be ready by and next thing I knew, 6 months had passed and I wasn’t even close to ready. lol. When I finally buckled down and decided to get it done, I scheduled the test for 3 weeks out and studied a little bit each day until the morning of the test. Surprisingly I was way more prepared than I thought I would be but having the test date already set kept the pressure on to study. Anyway, sorry I typed so much. lol. Best of luck when you take the test, man. You got this.

[@dwightdoane6762]

I used the Pilot Institute - great organization and community well worth the money you pay for the course and they have many free courses as well. Most of all if you follow the program- you will pass the exam (they also guaranty your money back if your don't - so fail the test once and you would have paid for the course )

[@WeretheRoberts]

Nice. I think most of those companies are pretty similar but the best part is its pay once and you have access for life. It’ll be cool to have it when I need to renew in 2026.

Have you been to Bay drive park? Just north of bings landing. Never crowded large parking area, restroom and on the ocean.

I talk to my James the CFLY mini 2. The other day it was “you fkin pile of sheet” I flew in the morning no problems. A flight in the afternoon the gimbal wouldn’t work. Camera on but looked like I was flying with a certain debilitating shaky disease. Also I had 24 satellites and he was still toilet bowling in the morning flight. Vids on my channel. Not the shaky one though.

[@WeretheRoberts]

lol that’s funny. At least to me. I bet it’s not funny you at all, eh? Has it straightened up since? I can’t stand problems that come and go like that with now explanation.
