Hardware

T-Lora v2 1.6

Is this bug report about any UI component firmware like InkHUD or Meshtatic UI (MUI)?

  • Meshtastic UI aka MUI colorTFT
  • InkHUD ePaper
  • OLED slide UI on any display

Firmware Version

2.7.15.567b8ea Alpha

Description

I installed firmware 2.7.15.567b8ea Alpha because I was facing this bug: meshtastic/Meshtastic-Android#3667 which was preventing me from configuring wifi at all (Android app just hung when attempting to). The alpha firmware resolved that issue, and allowed me to configure wifi (while connected via Bluetooth), and I can indeed see that my LILYGO device is assigned an IP on my network.

However, the LILYGO node is now unreachable via either bluetooth OR network connection. The Android app shows that the LILYGO device is on my local network and attempts to connect to it, but it hangs with the circular spinner spinning indefinitely while trying to connect via the network. And attempting to tap the Bluetooth connection I previously used with the device does nothing (no visual feedback), so the node is unreachable.

I can reflash it and use Bluetooth only, but then I can't use MQTT with this node.
