I am having disconnect issues since I updated to .46 that I never had with any other versions of the firmware so I think it's the firmware. When I loose connection the Zino just follows the last camand until I regain control. It has not went into RTH luckily I have been in a hover when it happens. It has happened at 5-6 foot high and about 15 to 20 ft.
I am going to try to reinstall the firmware again and see if it helps and if it doesn't then I will go back to .44

Turned of Wifi?
I thought that was required for flight and connection?
Only if you fly phone alone. If you use the controller to boost wifi it goes like this.

Zino (WiFi AP) ---wifi----> Controller (WiFi Bridge) ----OTG Cable----> Phone (App)

So if you have WiFi on on the Phone it can interfere with the controller

You can also fly without the controller or boost, directly to the phone but with limited range.

Zino (WiFi AP) ---wifi----> Phone (App)

SO IF YOU USE THE WHITE BRICK CONTROLLER AND OTG TURN THE PHONE'S WIFI OFF)
Makes sense.. good advice.
Thanks

Went for a flight tonight in the park where i first had the connection issues. Got around 15 minutes before a disconnect.
Definitely would say turning off WIFI and Bluetooth helps

I followed this advice, and shut off the WiFi on my iPhone XS before flight. I still had some disconnection issues. I made a video of that flight. Please take a look and see if there is anything else I can do to achieve a more stable connection.

I'm using android 7.1, it seems that the controller turns off, I'm not sure, my issue zino suddenly disconnects, I'm pointing out that the disconnection is from the controller, either turning off or the cord connector on the side disconnects when touched or in contact with hands.

I suggest that you keep a database of old firmware, upload as torrent so we can share it, cause i could not find older firmware version.

I'm using a 43 fc firmware i purposely didn't update it, because i heard there were issues, and i didn't have an only firmware, if someone give me an old firmware to download ill try it.

mine gets disconnected though im just flying at a 10 meter distance, altitude less than 10m, i think there is no interference, but my mom made a call on my phone, maybe it's because of that. I will confirm this by trying again.
