My "H" is now over 1 year old, and up until recently behaving itself really well. I download each of the firmware/software. I'm currently on the latest (B30). I had been happily using the newer feature of "Cruise Control" from last September's update, namely the "DPad" buttons for camera and trim. Last year sometime, I changed the font size on the ST 16 to "large" to make the data easier to see on the small tablet screen.
A couple of weeks ago, I had cause to use the trim control again, tapped the right hand DPad.... and the popup with the warning/instructions appeared. The craft was high in the air at this point. I tapped the screen to acknowledge/accept but nothing happened. I tapped the "return" key on the ST 16 and the popup went away, but the trim control wasn't working. To cut a long story short, I eventually discovered there should be 2 small "buttons at the bottom corners of the popup screen... left one says"cancel" right is the "OK" to accept.
These were not on the popup on my screen, and it turns out it was because I had chosen "Large" font before I performed the last update.
The simple solution would be to go into the settings on the Ground Station and change the font back to "Normal" right? In a perfect world, yes.
It turns out that Yuneec, in their collective wisdom, had removed the option of changing the font in the last update, but hadn't thought to advise people to check their font size before they updated.
Result.... you're in limbo land.
Yuneec Tech Dept's best advice?? "I think you could use the google play store to download relevant tools".
Seriously?
A fix?? ...yes there is one I discovered, but you have to do a complete factory reset.
I did that, after I did a total backup of the ST 16, and all now seems to be working.
My good friend "Captain Drone" has been trying to assist me during my trials, and suggested I post this here in case it helps anyone who finds they have the same problem. So, check that your ST 16/H trim controls are operating, because if you also changed your font size when you could... you've got a little work ahead!
