How did Yuneec Breeze wifi issues happen?

Following a recent Yuneec Breeze firmware update, some drone owners are reporting a problem with the Yuneec Breeze wifi not connecting.
“I have the Yuneec Breeze 2 weeks ago and was surprised at the good picture quality and the small copter stable flight attitude.
Now it was a firmware update to 1.0.3, where I feel that it has wifi connectivity worsened.
First, I have the Yuneec Breeze several times on and off, until the copter on my mobile phone is recognized. The next problem is as long as the Breeze is 30-40m away from me, the wifi connection breaks continuously.
I have the same issues with several mobile phones (including Iphone 5, Samsung K Zoom, Samsung S6, Samsung Tab 8 pro).”
It looks like many Breeze pilots have problems with the wifi connection.
“High-altitude flight to about 70 m (about 20 m away from me) was a problem. Then I sent the Yuneec Breeze at a low altitude on a distance flight. From about 60m distance the live image flickered (the video recordings are however perfectly) and movement (turn right / left) became stagnant.
From about 40m away was again everything is ok.
During the second high-altitude flight, the described image expeditions were given at approx. 60 m (video recording again problem-free). Therefore, I canceled the ascent for security reasons. On this flight, the Breeze was practically right above me. Something deeper was then again everything o.k.”
“Have a similar problem with the Yuneec Breeze and even more. For me is after 16 to 20 meters of altitude with the clean wifi connection. The images are only transferred hacked or the smartphone screen remains completely dark. By the way, 4k recordings are not possible at all because only frozen and stunted images are recorded and the camera buzzes exactly.”
“It flies first normal, then stops abruptly after 1-2min as the wifi connection is interrupted, waiting 30sec. Goes to set 10m high and then comes down to 1.20m right next to me and stays there on the spot. It can not be connected again to wifi. The only possibility is to wait until the battery is at 4% and it automatically lands, or you take it out of the air and put it out manually.”
Maybe the Yuneec Breeze has been brought to market early because of the competitive pressure.
