New Anafi Firmware & Battery Update March 4th 2020 V1.6.5_FF6 V6.6.6

After this last update I get a message saying the vertical camera isnt working and my drone doesnt take off. Already tried reseting the drone but still get the same error. The camera works fine and I can rotate it 180º
 
The main camera is not the vertical camera. The error message is referring to the small vertical camera on the bottom of the Anafi.
I would contact Parrot and ask for a replacement as it is not a easy fix.
 
Try to set back the Anafi to factory reset

1. Power ANAFI on.

2. Press the power button and keep it pressed: after approximately 8 seconds, the smart battery’s LEDs turn red, one after the other.

3. When the four LEDs are red, release the power button.

4. ANAFI reboots: a TXT file has been generated on the root of the drone’s microSD card; it contains ANAFI’s Wi-Fi network’s original password and that is how you can check the reset procedure has been successful.

Now we just need to verify if they work well or if the birds are falling down, at 20+% battery.
Any takers?

Based on my today's test, this "battery" update did nothing to my (bad) battery S/N C8G096982. Anafi dropped down like a rock, while FF6 was showing 25% battery.

Nice flights with Flight Plan today, no real issue.

I noticed that the real flight length is 1 minute longer than in the app, 14+ vs 13+ minutes, despite low wind, also the video stops at 9 min. 20 secs, 3.91 Go (2.7K), a 2nd file with the last 5 minutes of flight recorded without loss, but that's most likely not related to the update.
 
Still nothing in the release notes for Anafi firmware 1.65, that installed with the datasync fixed 6.6.6 App. Anyone else worried about the app's version number and the similarity to the tattoo found on Damien?

I am hoping to test this all out today before sun down.
 
we're all doomed, doomed I tell you......LOL

The coronavirus may also be to blame.
Human stupidity is invincible !!!
No.I think the new firmware has a tracking algorithm within it which will comply with the FAA tracking request and DJI now owns Parrot.They use the same customer service techniques...conspiracy theorists will agree....
 
You are so out of topic... this is clearly an usual Mercury retrograde issue ! maybe Pluto conjuncts Saturn a few days ago is also involved...
 
Has anyone had a low battery automatic RTH lately? Recently I flew a long flight plan into the wind that should have triggered it but didn't.
 
Flight plan, difficult! Sometimes at least.
But I think to remember that I had the =/< "in 3 minutes" RTH message, during normal flights and flight plan, in the past 2 weeks.

But that has nothing to say, I am still on old fw

If I'm connected, I still get the warning but I 'normally' fly long 3 km missions that disconnect at about 2.4 km. My flight data showed the batt below 50% before the turn around but it didn't RTH and completed the mission, thanks to that tailwind I knew about but it didn't. A while back, I used to get RTH on a flight plan. I wonder if it's just bluffing now.
 
I think it's good now. My theory is Parrot was trying to cook up some kind of dji like mandatory no fly zone and botched it. In a panic they reverted back to a previous version that was known to work.

I'm monitoring this thread, I have not updated my 10 batteries and 5 anafis.

I usually fly everyday but I have grounded my fleet until I can get more reassurance on the reliability of this update.
If your drones are working well (and why they wouldn't work well) then do not upgrade at all. It works fine for me and that's why I stay with firmware 1.6.3.
 
On that subject, how do you prevent the app from noticing an updated firmware version is available and more or less requiring you to update? With my old dedicated tablet I just left wifi turned off but I'm using my phone now and it turns on wifi by itself when it feels like it.
