Surprised today by an App update for V2 Smart Controller and a FW Update followed. 
Apologies for the bad image quality. I took screenshots on the SC, but haven't had a moment to transfer them yet.
Not too much happening in FW, mostly ADS-B, and a connection issue. The app talks about connection issues and image transmission improvements. Bring it! I've only had one flight since updating, but I'll report any issues and improvements once daylight comes around again!
There was no Android System update for the V2 Smart Controller. Too bad. the touch screen is slightly misaligned with touches needing to be slightly higher up the screen than the image, and the damn 3 second delay on Pause/Emergency Stop needs a fix urgently.
Looks promising if not extensive.
UPDATE
1. First observation: The Controller/Drone now starts up in 5.8ghz. This is an odd change. People (well, me anyway) had requested it start in "Auto" so it can switch/select the best band and spectrum by default as we see with Occusync methodology. Why it's defaulting to 5.8 is beyond me. Yes it passes more data, but from what I know (not much) it has less penetration, and is less long range capable..Ok so I'm actually answering my own question. I guess Autel assumes the majority want a stronger band at VLOS range and higher data rates..I still like a self managed system that does analysis of flight & signal criteria to make these choices. Maybe I'll just fly in 5.8 fpr a while to see, but Auto has served me well sp far.. More testing is required.
