I got the Neo since I'm trying to get into digital and wanted to try the DJI system. I like flying in acro with the drones I build. I try flying in manual mode with this drone and in about 5 seconds it will go back to normal mode and won't go back to manual mode. I stop and restart the drone and it keeps doing it again. I need help. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Is there something I need to do in the settings? I really need some help with this one.
I just got the Neo and I'm having issues

Your auto mode switching happens fast. Guessing not the same issue I've experienced. Just similar result.
Unsure if just a glitch with the Neo I use. When flying manual mode after a set combination of distance and altitude Neo auto switches to N mode. Red warning box OSD notes too far and or too high. At a local field(flat terrain) I am flying below the tree line and can fly ~200 meters from launch pad without issues. When I've flown at our alpine ski area at a similar altitude but hugging the rising profile at about the same range but due to altitude relative to launch pad the Neo auto changes to N mode. I need to fly back downhill to reset to Manual mode. Bit of an experiment flying at home. More or less straight up in Manual mode. Don't remember hitting the 120meter limit before the Neo auto mode switched to N mode. Not an issue with the Avata2 using the same Goggle3 and FPV RC3.
Not RC or Video signal strength related. Full bars. Personally not a big deal. Neo for me is just a LOS, low flying, dodge the obstructions quad.

You should get a message when that happens, what does it say? Can you fly normally in other modes or are you distance limited? Sounds like the "not logged in" issue.
N and S modes are only limited by the 120 meter max altitude relative to launch home and RC and Video strength. IIRC, did a flight of ~1.8km at sub 30 meter altitude along the frozen shoreline of the local beach last winter before rc and/or video signal strength weaken. Down the ~1/4km driveway that has a few curves and is in the middle of a solid forest of mostly red oak trees the signal goes yellow to red at the mailbox when the trees are bare.
Never have "logged" in beyond activating and when updating the firmware. Both the Avata2 and Neo. Friend flies a MiniPro4 and occasionally has to re-log in. It only has C,N,and S modes. IIRC, he noted either limited range or could not fly.

That is the issue a friend has with his MP4. As I noted in my above post. Haven't logged in for awhile. Last time was more than 90 days ago. DJI App firmware update. Last sessions in June without issue.
Checked the app for the last time I logged in. Log in 03/28/25. Notes DJIAppConfigOfUser..... 37KB of data added to the iPhone storage.
Needed to check status of batteries. So I just loaded up a battery and test flight of both the Neo and Avata2. No issues outside of Avata2 battery was down to 50% capacity. They are on the charger right now. Will just do a fly down to "storage level" session once fully charged. Neo batteries are good.
