Hello,
I tried last pre version of Android app. I got the 1.2.45 firmware update. I did it.

First simple tests between two tbeam each with android phones paired was ok.

Only problem was, when tbeam is sleeping, if i write a message, tbeam won’t leave sleeping mode to check if there is a message to send. The two tbeam with 1.2.45 did that.

Thanks again for your work.

Edit : oups I thought I was on the firmware thread sorry.

Not able to update firmware on Heltec boards from the app. Complete uninstall and reinstalling did not solve the problem. It says the update is successful, but it only takes a second to say so and the firmware isn’t updated on the device.

I was able to upgrade via windows firmware upgrade install script to one device, but there is issues with the other device. It is possible that the problem device wasn’t entirely working before. But, the one device did upgrade seemly successfully.

(edit: sorry, I have a brain problem. I have the heltec lora v2)

I seemed to have lost my connection between my phone and my t-beam1.x with 1.2.45. It pairs, then goes immediately to sleeping. If you select None, the t-beam will never pop back up as an option. 1.2.40 app + 1.2.44 firmware appears to work. 1.2.45 app + 1.2.45 firmware, 1.2.45 app + 1.2.44 firmware, 1.2.40 app + 1.2.45 firmware appears to loose Bluetooth connection. I was originally in dark mode, and I had no cursor for renaming the t-beam. There was an error message about region not being set, but I don’t remember seeing an option to change it at that time. I’m in light mode in the 1.2.40 app now, and can see the option to set the region.
Edit: the ability to select region is missing on my Samsung Galaxy S5, using Android 6.0.1, but exists on my Galaxy S9, using Android 10. I quit all apps and rebooted the galaxy S5, and then I could connect and set region on the S5, using android app 1.2.40. That reboot may have been necessary, and 1.2.45 might work if I did the same thing on it, but I don’t have time to test that right now.
