I was reluctant to reset given all the trouble people seem to have with those (lost connections, resetting to chinese, etc)
I DID find a workaround though, for anyone interested:
This was a new old stock drone that shipped with an early firmware, and newer firmwares don't seem to do this. In order to update, you have to:
* Boot JUST the ST16s -- not the drone
* Hit back twice to get you into android, go to settings -- wifi
* Manually connect to an access point from there
* Re-open flight control and go to the update dialog -- the listed drone etc should be blank. Don't hit update
* Boot the drone and let it pair, pair manually (to just the drone not the camera) if necessary
* The update list should appear. Download the necessary files and update.
Hope this helps others
