I need some help with Meshtastic. I updated my T-Deck to version 2.6.11. after the update the Bluetooth was turned off. I used web console to enable Bluetooth. My phone picked it up with out a problem. Now my screen is stuck in " programming mode". If I restart , Bluetooth gets disabled. If I hold down the little scroll wheel Bluetooth gets disabled. Does anyone have any idea how to get it out of the programming mode but also keep Bluetooth on ?

Bluetooth and programming mode shouldn't be tied together. Only in the flasher web uu, not the client web uu or app. But the iOS app for me is screwy with 2.6.11

I never had this happen before with a firmware update. I might try an older firmware to see if it's giving me the same problem.

Or try an alpha?

Reddit was able to save me. The new GUI to me seams it can only run on stand alone or in Bluetooth mode. I was able to figure out how to boot it into the old GUI that works in Bluetooth and stand alone.

Glad you got it figured out. 🤘

I just got one yesterday. I must of updated it yesterday, because I just turned it on and got the exact same screen you did. 🤣

Did you see that reddit link I shared ? I don't understand the reason why they changed it.

Did you install the MeshUI? You can either have the UI or the Programming mode with Bluetooth connection. Both at the same time is not possible. According MeshUI doc you have to press and hold the Bkuetooth Icon to reboot into MeshUI, see last sentence of linked doc page.

That was the case. Just took awhile to figure out. I haven't touched my t-deck in a long time or kept current on my Meshtastic knowledge.
