What the HELtec!

Good day all hope everyone is having a better Saturday then i am, trying to get connected. New to meshtastic. I purchased a new heltec v3, installed the drivers, then flased the card. The last 3 hours ive been trying to make my initial bluetooth connection between the heltec and the meshtastic app with no success. Ive tried multiple different firmware with no success???

Anyone else have this issue? Also my phone sees the device but never makes connection,

Hello,

You probably tried all that, but in case :

Be sure your firmware is the last for your particular model (is it the v3 Heltec or a variant ?)

Be sure too that in the Meshtastic app basic settings (the gearwheel in a square), the device is selected by Bluetooth, and not by IP address or disabled.

In your phone settings, in the bluetooth settings, try to delete the Heltec device you see, disable Bluetooth, re-enable it.

In the list of non paired devices, the Heltec must be gone back. Click on it to appair it another time, using the code displayed on your Heltec.

Then relaunch the Meshtastic app, and look in the basic settings (another time the gearwheel in a square) if the Heltec appear to be connected with.

If it can help.

Hello Danielnorcon, have you correctly entered the frequency of your region on Meshtastic? :wink:

Yes, all figured out my Samsung s23 doesnt connect to the heltec, got it working with old Samsung s20. Thank you

Low emitting bluetooth power i believe

I had the same issue and removing the device in my iOS bluetooth settings solved the problem.

I created an account just to thank you for this one little statement…

I thought I had bricked my device. Thank You!
