3 Nodes show 0/3 - What does this mean?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I just got 3 x T-Beams and threw them together. Got them powered up and updated to the latest firmware

On the screen, at first it will show 3/3, but now for example is shows 0/3. What does this counter mean?

It seems they are all connected because I can scroll through the screens and see the other nodes. I can also send messages and they show up on all the other nodes LCD

But I have a second issue, I got the Meshtastic iOS app, and me and my wife are connected to a node each, and when we send messages they come through on all three LCD screens, however they do not show in the app. The only thing I see in the app is the messages we have sent, we do not receive anything

As en example, all of these messages showed up on the LCD of all, but the app on the other end shows nothing. The other phone has also sent messages which showed up on the LCD, but I don’t see

(See next post for image, I’m limited to one picture for some reason)

Are these issues related? Its worth noting I did not set anything. I just powered them on, and they seemed to connect

Here is the image I was trying to add in the first post

Well, I forced closed the app a bunch and eventually it just worked, I got pretty far down the road talking to my wife, and this was just with it sat on the coffee table. Pretty impressed with the devices themselves, but the app kept messing up

It seems after 5 or so mins, the Bluetooth to the phone will disconnect, and once that happens, all bets are off the app. If I mess around disconnecting and force closing, eventually it will work

The 0/3 …

0 = Number of nodes online
3 = Number of nodes available

These numbers don’t update quick, a lot depends on the speed of mesh discovery.

I just found a bug in the node counter. It’ll be fixed in the next release.

Is there a way to get the node to forget the nodes it has seen, without a full factory reset?

That’s the way to do it.

I know this is an old thread but i have just started getting into meshtastic.

I have 2 identical heltec v3 boards with the same firmware 2.3.13.

One of them shows 2/2 while the other shows 0/2.

The one that shows 0/2 will show when the other device joins but rhe 2/2 will not.

Are settings that i need to set on the devices to get them to both show online and when they join?
