Phantom 3 Standard out of control

I am so Sorry to Hear of your loss, they do indeed become family members, last time that happened in our household it was very difficult.
I flew it again a few days ago, still seems less stable than when I first got it. I did use a bone stock controller, only mod is tablet bracket. Got the picture I needed by ignoring the fly zone warnings, can't clear it off my display, I was maybe up 50 feet, no airports, I think the warning is due to a hospital helipad.
I did this out of panic, I have lost confidence in this drone, when it comes at you one tends to do this, it does not like to do a stable hover, I know what that is, it was always stable before, just hasn't seen this behavior exhibited recently.

Your Phantom and your Mobile device have saved data, It is kind of tedious to upload and share it.
Having an understanding of what maybe went wrong.
The more data you can provide may have the answer?
There are some good guys here....
We all learn from these posts..
My first thought was a compass cal problem. nobody has stated I was incorrect.
Give us an update or data!

Just wanted to say thanks for all the help, had it out on a job today and it did the same out of control thing twice, First time it just flew past me, didn't respond to the controls at all and hit a shrub, second time ended upside down on the blacktop and couldn't even shut off the motors. I thought I had it sorted out but it is indeed possessed. time to dump it, that's enough of this, three controllers, one with dbs mod, three batteries, all for nothing reliable.
Had you provided the requested data, a lot of this frustration may have been avoided, and led you to a direct answer to your issue.
i have tried to look at it on my pc, followed the instructions to view on my pc, download log viewer, does not show flights from today. Not trying to be unresponsive, I can see files from previous flights but not the mess today.
Its not the device file we need. It is the aircraft .dat file. If you can share an upload from the log viewer we can tell you which .dat that you need. Any flight that has exhibited the issue you are referring to would work.
For the aircraft .dat files, you will need to use Dropbox, Google drive..etc....and provide a link back here such that we can download the files.
I do apologize, hope I upload the correct file, part of this is I don't understand most of the drone terminologies, purchased and have used for a couple of years, never had an issue before this started. Not really into this too much.
Yes - the left back PWM is going to 100%, which means that it's not producing enough lift. I guess that could be the ESC or the motor itself. Not likely to be the prop.

Thanks for the quick diagnosis, so if I keep it, send it in to DJI or just put it up on ebay as is, I had P2 that after a river encounter just about put me in the poor house trying to fix it, don't want to go that route again.

Well Thanks all!
I hadn't seen any alerts on this thread since #28.
I had been on the forum a couple of times since then.
I will read it closer when I'm at work.

Just an update, replaced my P3Standard with a P3Pro, can use my batteries, can use my case, this unit works flawlessly, have now flown it several times, super stable and responsive. My new P3Pro is super. Thanks for all that helped me realize my new part time job wasn't fixing broken drones. Rod, you're the best, many thanks.
